Having a positive self-image is imperative to finding success in this industry. Your self-image is the subconscious mechanism responsible for guiding your behavior. We always act consistently with the image we have of ourselves. If you see yourself as a second or third tier dancer who most guys don’t want a dance from…then by golly you aren’t going to sell many dances.
I bring this up because there were several of us having a conversation in the locker room. It was slow early in the evening, so another resident Babe’s Cabaret SuperStripper and I were stressing that even if you only get 5 dances an hour, we could still make $400 from 10-close. 5 dances an hour is a very realistic goal for any SuperStripper with a positive self-image and can-do attitude. Immediately we heard the typical “Well maybe for you…you’re blonde and have fake boobs…guys don’t like me as much.”
To hear that statement out loud broke my heart. Here is an absolutely stunning woman verbally programming a negative self image into her subconscious mind. I reached out and shook her and said “Stop saying that! Instead say I am beautiful and men want dances from me!”
Like fertile soil, your subconsious mind will accomodate whatever seeds you plant. Thus, the images you consciously and repeatedly focus on become absorbed into your subconscious mind. If you focus on the positives: I am beautiful and men want dances from me….you WILL sell more dances.
Thats my SuperStripper Secret. I’m really not that cool of a chick. I’m pretty dorky actually, and the first four years of my dancing career I was the second and third tier stripper. But once I started thinking like a SuperStripper, I became one.
