What Being a Successful Stripper Really Means
Today we wanted to take a minute to define what makes a Successful Stripper. Is it being the best dancer at the club? Is it having a nice house, car, and clothes? Is it just being happy in general? Let’s take a look at want actually would make a Successful Stripper.
First, there’s two words in the phrase “Successful Stripper.” The first one is “successful.” What makes someone a success? Like we mentioned above, is it having lots of material things? Or is it something different? That’s something everyone has to determine for themselves, but we can tell you what it means to us. Someone who is a success has mastered or accomplished something. The things a stripper can accomplish are numerous, but some of the more difficult things to master is making a lot of money on a consistent basis, finding balance between work and their personal life, and staying focused on why they go to work and what they are there to do when they get there. This criteria doesn’t necessarily apply to just exotic dancers, those qualities are great to have no matter what profession you are in. There are several things that could fall into the category of being successful, but in the stripping business, it can be very easy to be led astray. Staying the course in itself could be considered being successful for a dancer.
The other part of the term we are looking at is the word “Stripper.” We look at this point specifically because we wanted to make the note that you are a stripper at work. It is NOT what defines you outside of work, although some parts of society may try and classify you otherwise. Keep your integrity outside of work by being yourself. Don’t do things outside of work because some of your co-workers are doing it, or because you think you are less then the average person because of your occupation. You are a person. The stigma of being a dancer can be very unfair, but that doesn’t mean you should conform to what others would expect of a stripper outside of work. You don’t need to dress provacative if you aren’t comfortable doing so. You don’t have to go out and party every night. And you certainly don’t have to hang out with other co=workers on your nights off. If you are into theatre, music, cooking, or any other hobbies that others wouldn’t think a dancer would be normally interested in, get out there and do those things that make you happy. Never let someone else’s opinion stop you from being happy or achieving what you dream of. You are not what you do for a living. You are who and what you feel inside. Really, a “Successful Stripper” could be simply defined as being the best you can be at WORK, and leaving that aspect of your life at the door as soon as the night is over.

Being a Successful Stripper to me is going into the business to get something out of it to better your life in the future. You have to gotta love what you do … yes at times being a stripper sucks and can be annoying but you have to be able to shrug it off and get over it and get back to why you are in this business.
You need to be able to make conversation, have great eye contact, love to smile and be able to move and feel good about your body. Everyone is sexy in there own way… find it and bring it out. I am a Mommy to 2 kids and I have a wonderful Husband and I am a Stripper. Some people feel what I am doing is wrong, but they don’t see my vision and what I want out of it. I chose to surround myself with people who are positive and will not judge me on what I chose to do. I Entertain people with the Hot Body God gave me and I am able to make great money for my family. I am able to spend all of my days with my children and really only have to give up a few nights out of the weekend to work. My husband is my security and sees all that I do… yes it isn’t easy all the time. But, we talk and communicate about everything and we remind each other what our vision is and what we want out of the business and we move forward stronger and more together.
If you are in this business you need to make sure to find out and list what you are working for and get it. Start a savings and save… save… save… You will find that you may one day be your own boss to your own business that you’ve been dreaming of.
Remember that Clubs are not the only places to work at either. Every city has company’s that you can work for to do more private party entertainment. Examples: Birthday Parties, Bachelor, Strip-o-Grams etc. I enjoy that type of dancing because I don’t have to deal with regulars, I am not required to be there 6-8 hours a night, a show usually runs for 1-2 hours and I can make 500+ a hour and don’t have to tip out nearly as much as you would in a club… I feel there are more perks to working for Stripper Agencies. If you are a stripper in a club I recommend looking into private gigs.
