My evening started with the guys from West Virginia at the bar. I was sipping my Diet Coke when one of the middle aged white guys in a golf shirt stumbled over his own foot and plowed into the barstool next to me. “I’ve been drinkin’ since noon…” he mumbles. I have been actively working on my bar-hustle because I usually gravitate towards the guys sitting at a table before the guys sitting at the bar. After a bit of chit-chat I begin to set up my test-close, “The only problem with hanging out here at the bar is that you don’t have a lap!” The test close is NOT asking directly for a dance, but rather leading the conversation in that direction to gauge how ready he is to be closed. West Virginia was ready, he basically sold himself “Yeah, I need a lap for you to give me a lapdance. Lets go over there.” Read more...(377 words, estimated 1:30 mins reading time)
I had major writer’s block the past few days. But as I sit here in the shade at the pool in Vegas I feel rejuvenated. I splurged this trip and am staying at a NICE casino resort. I’ve been pulled in 5 different directions the past few months and this SuperStripper needed a vacation. Its a working vacation, but a vacation nonetheless.
I alluded to this in February: Vegas is NOT like it used to be. It is very competitive, and I am a completely disposable commodity to these mega-clubs up here. The combination of mainstream society condoning strip clubs as pop culture AND the fact that this recession has convinced more women to turn to stripping to make ends meet than ever before….has huge measurable effects on the take home pay of the average stripper.

Finding a job in this economy can be difficult, but when your last employer was a strip club it can be next to impossible. The nonprofit group, “New Friends New Life” is a faith-based organization located in Dallas that assists women who want to leave the world of sexually-oriented businesses.
“You’re too tall” was my first response of the night. “Not to be rude or anything…but you’re not my type.”
I had two choices, smile and walk on by or try again. There was no one else and Mr Objection was my target client:early 40s wearing a golf shirt, his own 6 foot 2 frame sprawled across two straight backed chairs.
“Well, it all lines up when I straddle you, doesn’t it?” I replied with my best come-back.
It worked he smiled, leaned back opening up his body language and I sat in the empty chair.Read more...(198 words, estimated 48 secs reading time)
Two nights ago I went out and bought Blogging For Dummies. You’d think after two years I would know what I’m doing, but there is so much cool stuff out there that I didn’t even know about! I spent the last few days boning up on RSS feeds, Podcasting, Widgets, and Plugins….
What I discovered is that I NEED TO MOVE because the Myspace blogging platform doesn’t provide me with the tools I need! But that’s okay, because I’m moving in conjunction with the Launch of www.StripandGrowRich.com! Read more...(283 words, 1 image, estimated 1:08 mins reading time)
The drive to Vegas was hot and sunny. I learned a long time ago that long road trips with the convertible top down REALLY tires me out. The drive took 6 hours this time due to the tourist traffic across Hoover Dam. I hope that bridge is completed soon. Took a quick nap and clocked in at Treasures at 7:30 pm. I paid the offstage fee since I walked in the door with a 5 hour deal already closed.
The Whale was waiting. Read more...(538 words, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)
Life offers you a special deal: every choice you make has a consequence, even if it’s not immediate.
Life is a ticking clock. There are no time-outs. What you do on Friday night counts, just as much as what you do on Sunday morning or Thursday afternoon. Your choices reveal who you really are. You are where you are today because of the choices you made in the past. You’ve made decisions about what to learn and what not to learn. You’ve made decisions to believe some things and not others. You’ve made decisions about who you spend your time with, who you date, who you marry/have married, and whether or not you will have children. Read more...(205 words, estimated 49 secs reading time)
I spent about four hours this afternoon on conference calls with my design and mastermind team! I’m really excited about relaunching this program and making it BETTER than it has ever been before.
Back in October 2007, I blogged about how spending $300 on Stripper Sales Training was the absolute BEST thing I did for my stripping career. Prior to Dancerwealth I was not a top income earner in my clubs. I was always profitable, I worked hard, but I didn’t have the skill set to be a SuperStripper.
Guess what: skills can be learned, mindsets can be changed.
We only get an edited look at the world around us. That is because our beliefs act as filters, screening out any evidence that doesn’t support what we want to believe is true.
1. As humans, we make life choices that harmonize with our beliefs. We unconsciously choose to put ourselves in situations and associate with people that fit our preconceptions. We avoid people and situations that might weaken or challenge what we believe to be true. Read more...(353 words, 1 image, estimated 1:25 mins reading time)
The number one reason people don’t set goals is that they have not yet accepted personal responsibility for their lives
Intelligence, education, hard work, and good connections are useful; but without goals, you tend to drift like a rudderless ship from project to project, never harnessing your full potential.
The primary benefit of setting goals is that you begin to take control of your life. The overwhelming majority of Americans are so caught up in the urgent activities of daily living. They are running hard, but getting nowhere because they have confused activity with accomplishment. Read more...(183 words, estimated 44 secs reading time)
