			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has a different motivation for going to work.  It doesn&#8217;t matter if your job is a dancer, truck driver, or a doctor.  There is something that drives you to get up and out the door to work everyday that you do.  You can argue it&#8217;s just to keep a roof over your head or food in your belly, but is that all you really aspire for?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true that money can come quick and easy at times in this business of exotic dancing.  But what is it all for?  Is it for your family?  Pay off past debts?  To support a habit?  Sometimes you need to take a step back and re-evalutate what exactly is important to you and put your time and energy into that motivating factor. </p>
<p>If you are working for your family, don&#8217;t spend all your time at work because you&#8217;ve just defeated the main purpose of working for them.  How are you supposed to see them happy if you&#8217;re never around?  And if you&#8217;re working to pay off past debts, it wouldn&#8217;t really make sense to be racking up more debt at the same time, because you will NEVER get ahead then.  You must learn to live well WITHIN your means.  Money doesn&#8217;t always come fast and easy.  Many are facing this hard-to-swallow truth right now as we are in the midst of a real economic recession right now.  Finally, if you&#8217;re going to work only to support your drinking or drug habit, you are missing life.  Period, end of story.  You are wasting your money, your time, and likely space in this world.  Nevertheless, if you are going to work to support a habit, maybe it&#8217;s time to face the problem you&#8217;ve been avoiding and address it head on.  You can never escape your problems, they will always follow you.  Deal with them now because they&#8217;re not going away anytime soon.</p>
<p>The main point of this post is just to take a moment and reflect on why you work so hard.  Remember to enjoy the fruits of your labors with the ones you love.  Remember to be vigilant on impulse spending.  And finally, remember that when faced with a major obstacle or hardship in life, you can&#8217;t just avoid your problem.  Take care of yourself and make the most of the time you are here.  Somebody out there cares about you, and more then likely you care about someone out there also.  It&#8217;s all about priorities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hear many girls talking in the club how bad it is out there and that guys just aren&#8217;t spending as much money as they used to.  While I agree 100% with this, it&#8217;s still not all bad for the girls who are still ambitious and keep their hustle on.  The dancers that know how to approach the customers and keep their interest the entire time they are in the club are still bringing home the majority of the money like they always have.  It&#8217;s the girls who expect the money to fall in their lap that complain the most.  These are the ones bringing home less then $100 a night, and they would be better suited for a regular full time day job somewhere else.  Now, if you fall in this category and have the drive to change your situation, just know that it is possible.  And if you succeed in doing so, when the good times start rolling again, you can count on your earnings to skyrocket from what you&#8217;ve learned working through the lean times.  Here&#8217;s a few tips to get you through.</p>
<p>1.  In our ebook, &#8220;<a href="http://joshandchandra.cerizmo.com/items/1403-exotic-dancer-ebook">Make Real Money at the Gentlemen&#8217;s Club</a>&#8221; we cover many things that help you influence every customers buying decisions.  A couple reasons why a customer will initially show interest in you is physical attraction.  While this is a no brainer, you better realize what you put into your body is going to directly reflect how you appear to your clientele.  If you pig out on junk food and candy, I guarantee you&#8217;re not going to have the figure of the same girl like you that doesn&#8217;t do that.  Also going to the gym or jogging/running on your own isn&#8217;t going to hurt anything either.  Better your appearance, which is completely within your control, and you will influence some people&#8217;s buying decisions.</p>
<p>Another thing that will influence the customer is your personality/attitude.  If you sit there and complain about how business has been horrible and that you can&#8217;t pay your bills, you may get a few pity dollars, but you aren&#8217;t going to bank like when you are confident and devoting your full attention to the customer, making them feel like the most important person in the club.  That&#8217;s when you can begin making serious money again.</p>
<p>2.  Ask the customer for their time, not their money.  The old going up to every customer and asking if they would like a dance is a sure way to go home with chicken feed when you could be going home with a purse full of cash.  It&#8217;s too easy for them to say no to you.  Now if you take the time to sit with a customer for a few minutes and get to know them, build a little rapport, and make them feel like you are genuinely interested in them, you now have your foot inside the door to their wallet.  You have a much greater chance of getting Jeff, or Rick or Tom, to hand over a little of their hard earned cash then the complete stranger sitting over at table 6.</p>
<p>3.  If you work in a smaller club with fewer clientele, you can still bank.  You actually have an advantage over the mega clubs in some aspects that you can actually sit down with a customer and get to know them better then feeling like you have to work a large room where it seems impossible to get to know anyone.  The more intimately you can establish a relationship with a customer in the club, the more he will be willing to spend on you in the couch room or VIP room.  It only takes about 2 of these customers a night, along with the others you would normally get from the stage and random offers for couch dances, to make going to work worth while.  And if you only get one a night, that&#8217;s still alot better then not finding one at all.  This race isn&#8217;t one in one shot.  It&#8217;s a marathon and you have to get out their every chance you can to make it over the long haul.</p>
<p>There are a hundred different things you can do to improve your earning potential while you are at work.  Sometimes the answers to your problems are obvious.  Sometimes they aren&#8217;t so clear.  We cover a multitude of different scenarios and solutions in our <a href="http://joshandchandra.cerizmo.com/items/1403-exotic-dancer-ebook">ebook on how to make more from exotic dancing</a>.  It&#8217;s worth every penny considering how much you can potentially make in a single night at work.  Good luck, and remember you need to succeed where so many others are continously failinng.  This is how you persevere during the tough times and make it to see the good times again.</p>
