Josh & Chandra Finally Did It!!!

admin — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 21:30:23 +0000

We wanted to take a moment and update everyone on what we’ve been doing for the past month or so. Much has happened and we are thrilled to inform everyone we are now married! Planning for the wedding has set us back a bit in terms of our new membership site, however, we have still been steadily working on it, just not as much as we’d hoped.

We will now refocus our attention on completing the new membership site and expect it to formally open at the end of August. We appreciate your patience and everyone’s patronage who continue to order our manuals. We always value our reader’s feedback and hope you will all continue to share your stories with us.

Have a great weekend!

The Insult Hustle

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 06:46:57 +0000

This post is a bit random, but still has meaning. Have you ever had someone, a waitress, dancer, maybe even a “friend” say something completely disrespectful to you, then minutes later ask for your help? We call this the Insult Hustle. And while we don’t advise using this tactic, we bring it up to make sure you don’t find yourself doing it ever.

Some folks have very low self-esteem and sometimes they feel it necessary to tear others down, even when they are asking someone for a favor. It’s ironic they can’t see that instead of helping their own situation, they’re only making it worse.

They don’t end up getting what they want and they end up looking like an ass or a bitch it the process. It’s too bad for them, but we can learn from these poor people. We see and know what kind of persons they are. We then have a better understanding of them and how not to emulate them. Because if the Insult Hustle isn’t working for them, it’s not going to work for us. We wish them the best of luck.

May Update from Josh & Chandra

admin — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:58:31 +0000

It’s been a few weeks since we’ve had a chance to post, but we can’t wait any longer to let you know what we’ve been up to.

The past 6 weeks we have been secretly working on a brand new sister site to this one here on JoshAndChandra.com. It’s a members only site, and dedicated exclusively for dancers who want the absolute best information available on becoming the Most Successful Dancer in their club.

No topic is taboo, no information is with-held, and nothing else out there compares to what we’ve compiled already. And we’re not even finished building it yet!

So what IS in this members only site? Well, to start with it’s not really just a membership site for dancers to gain knowledge. It’s more like Stripper University. We have created a Six Week Course detailing everything a dancer needs to know. From how a strip club works, to building self-confidence techniques, to how to use technology today to better market yourself to potential customers. We’ve covered How to effectively manage time in the club, what customers find attractive, and how to ask for that private dance the right way.

But that’s not even close to what we’ve created for you. We also have the newest selling techniques based solely on the customer’s personality type. We’ve broken it down into 4 diffferent categories for you to easily understand and even easier to recognize them when you see it. This technique was first introduced by a famous psychologist whose work now heavily influences marketers and salesforces across the globe. And we’re showing you how to use it for exotic dancing now.

But wait, there’s more. We’ve included pages and pages of lessons on health, dieting, and exercise to keep you in shape (what’s school like without p.e. and health class, right?). There’s also a dedicated section for finance and how can start putting your money to work for you. We even show you some easy ways to start a business online. Like we said, there’s no holding back in there. And to prove it, we even go behind the scenes and break down how we generate income online; including the steps we took to create this new membership site and how you can do the exact same thing!

There’s still more. We are partnering with a VERY well known pole dancing instrutor to bring you pole dancing instructional videos. We can’t even tell you how excited we are about this. We love pole dancing (if you can’t tell by our posts) and this new series of videos takes you through the steps to learn moves on the pole.

You see, what we’ve created is so unique, nothing can even begin to compare to it. How do we know? We checked. We wanted to make this a true Stripper University. We made sure we created the content to flow and build on each preceding lesson, just like it would in a real educational setting.

The other thing that makes this so unique, is that after you pay the membership fee, you are NOT billed any more. There are other membership sites out there that make you pay month after month for the same content to belong to their site. Not ours.

Even after you complete the 6 week training course (something else that makes ours different as you’ll know when you are done) you graduate and become an alumni. All alumni are welcome to return and retake the course for free and to continue to post on the member’s only forum.

Really, we amazed ourselves with the quality and quantity of content that the new site contains. If you took out all of the health and finance lessons and just left the dancer training, you would still have enough information to fill a 180 page book (at 12pt font, double spaced). How do we know? We checked it out ourselves.

Everything we offer is available from day one at no extra charge. We don’t bill you for the finance information or how to start your own home based business. You don’t pay a penny extra for the health and dieting courses. It’s all at your disposal. Always.

We have to apologize. If you can’t tell, we are really excited about this. There really isn’t anything like this anywhere. We believe in truly offering the highest quality material and an unbelievably affordable price, and this new membership site isn’t any different.

So when can you sign up? Good question, we knew you couldn’t wait for this part either. We are looking to start the first 6 week course around July 1st. That’s about a month away. But there is some bad news.

We are only going to be offering registration for 7 Days. After the 7 days is up, we lock the doors. But there is some good news, too. We are offering our first training class a 50% discount to those who sign-up. And you still receive lifetime membership for signing up.

If you are interested, fill out the preregistration box below. This isn’t the official sign-up, so you aren’t obligated to pay or buy anything. This is to keep you updated for when the doors open so you don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity.

Oh, and one more thing. We are offering a 100% money back guarantee. If you don’t find our training course helpful or you feel like you didn’t learn anything, we will refund you 100% of your paid membership fee. We have taken the risk out of joining for you. Try and get that offer from ANY of the other dancer membership sites. Oops, you can’t.

Zen Stripping Part 2

admin — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:11:51 +0000

This is the second part of a two part series dedicated to helping all dancers understand themselves better and what they can do mentally to make more money at the club. To read the first part, “Zen Stripping Part 1″ you can do so by clicking HERE.

In our first look at the idea of Zen Stripping, we discussed things you can do right now to focus on making more money at the club. Today, we are going to talk about altering the way you view your past experiences and future expectations to help you always remain positive in the present.

Your Past is a Wall

Being completely present in whatever it is you do can lead to great achievements, quality work, creativity, and success. But the ability to focus entirely on a certain moment in time can be difficult, especially when memories of past short-comings, failures, and disappointments come to mind. Our mind is constantly drawing up these memories to protect us from future let-downs. However, this is one of the most limiting frames of mind you can let yourself fall into.

Thoughts of the past can be very detrimental to our self-esteem and present happiness. Knowing that we are not getting any younger and remembering lost loved ones or opportunities can lead to sadness and ultimately an underlying stress in our everyday lives. If you are constantly living in the past and are comparing to what you have right now, you will find it almost impossible to find happiness in the present.

Limiting yourself to what you have experienced in the past to what you are trying to accomplish today can lead you to a state of not being able to move forward. In order to forge ahead, you have to dismiss past experiences, and believe that what you are trying to accomplish is totally within your grasp, despite past outcomes. Once you believe it is possible, you then must go ahead and take action to make it happen.

When you fully believe something is possible, you begin to create an environment around you that enables you to meet your goals. You begin to alter your own life situation so much that it becomes an inevitable outcome of what you are working towards. You know that if you take these certain actions now, the goal is ultimately at hand. That’s why it is so important to not let your past experiences hold you back from achieving what you want today.

This way of thinking forces you to take focus and action on what is crucial right now. You begin the journey to what you want and only draw on your previous experiences for what will truly help you achieve what you desire. Drawing on your strengths from past experience, you begin to build new strengths that help you maintain your drive and focus. And knowing that others have been able to achieve what you so strongly desire, only gives you more confidence that you too can accomplish the same. Don’t let the past hold you back because of past failures. Use the past to draw on what works and what you have already done to forge even farther ahead.

Future Thoughts as Stress

Thoughts about the future hold mystery and the potential for much joy and happiness. But when you want something so bad and think about how far away it is or that you don’t have what you want right now, you begin to feel despair at the realization that it isn’t possible at this moment.

Planning for the future is prudent and good for you when you understand what you must do right now to make those goals achievable for you. But if you spend time working towards a goad and the end result doesn’t seem any closer, you can feel a great sense spinning your wheels and going no-where. The important thing is to use goals as motivation to act now, not to become so strongly attached to them that you are miserable when they are not here right now.

Back in the Now

Talking about how you should perceive your past and future is really about how you view the present. You can take your past and future views to draw strengths and motivation. But viewing the past and future as compared to what you have right now is a sure way to be unhappy when you realize it isn’t “reality.”

Most of the time thoughts about the future and past lead to being distracted from what’s truly important right now. Thinking about anything besides the present usually leads to an inability to really enjoy the moment and holds you back from succeeding at the job in front of you.

If you want to sell more dances at the club, you must be fully present when talking to that customer. If you want an amazing stage presence, you can’t be thinking of past mis-steps or if you look bad in your costume. You must focus entirely on delivering a great show and everything that you must be doing to pull it off. Eliminate all thoughts that are not associated with what’s going on RIGHT NOW.

Putting it all Together

Focusing on the present and the experience it is providing you allows for you to grow as a human being. Facing a difficult challenge is hard, but if you immediately think it’s not possible because of past experiences, you are dead in the water. You will face challenges like this all of your life. Being present in your life has the bonus of providing flexibility. You have choices when something difficult comes your way. You can run from it, ignore it, or embrace it and take parts of the experience away to build on other experiences from your past. This is how you you achieve success and ultimately grow as a person.

Understanding that when you eliminate limiting beliefs from your past, stop attaching your happiness to things you want in the future but don’t have right now, and nurture your abilities and determination on what is important today, you are completely free. You are free from the stress of past and future, and you have the chance to focus and really enjoy what you are doing right now in the present.

Zen Stripping Part 1

admin — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:58:00 +0000

We’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this topic the last couple months and really tried to analyze the nights that dancers, even newbies, brought home major bank. We’ve asked others their opinions and what was going through their heads on those nights, and how they walked out of the club with huge wads of cash. We’ve narrowed it down to one single factor, and it’s something any dancer, at any level, can make happen. Maybe you’ve even touched upon it a time or two on your very best nights of work. Here’s how it is for us when we experience it.

One with Now

During our time working, we often can get distracted by conversation, the music around us, by something that happened the other day, or maybe by a bill that is coming due shortly. Whatever it is, we lose focus for a minute or maybe hours, and our productivity decreases. This happens in all areas of life, not just at work. But, have you ever had a time in your life where you just lose track of time, where everything else that is stressfull or on your mind just fades away? When we have our best nights at work, that is what happens to us. Everything just clicks, because we are completely present to what’s going on. This may start to sound like some psycho babble, but stick with us a bit longer here.

Maybe you’ve tried multi-tasking chores around the house, or even at other jobs you’ve had in the past. While it seems you are accomplishing many things in a short amount of time, you are not focused on any one particular thing. This leads to distraction, and the quality of your work possibly (more likely probably) suffers. You may miss small things or details, or completely forget to do a step in the process. Giving your full attention to any activity or process tends to lead to successful completion of what you are doing. Dancing isn’t any different.

When you step out of the dressing room, whether it is to go on stage or sell dances to a customer, distractions of what’s going on in your life or drama with somebody else can easily interfere with your work. It’s happened to all of us many times. Maybe you just had an arguement with a loved one or you have a sick child at home. Those things are important to all of us, but while you are at work there isn’t much you can do about it. Giving complete focus to what you are doing keeps you from missing an important step when dealing with a customer, or missing that step when you are getting off stage (and consequently tumbling off on your face in front of everyone).

When you are having a good night at your work, time seems to go quickly and you might wish there was more time left in the night to do more. When you are having an amazing night at work, you completely forget time and don’t know it’s over until the lights come up. You are one with your environment and it has your complete attention. Giving your complete attention to the present includes eliminating thoughts about the past and the future, which is going to be a totally separate post in the very near future. Eliminating those two aspects, can literally change your life, that’s why it’s important enough to garner it’s own topic space.

But, back to being one in the present, you might be asking yourself “How do I go about doing it?” That’s an important question and we’re going to tell you how you can begin. The first thing to do is eliminate all physical distractions. Television, cell phones, computers, and even other people are great examples of physical distractions that you will need to get rid of to start the focusing process.

The next thing to do is stop mental distractions from happening. Mental distractions are the times your mind wanders and jumps from thought to thought. When you are trying to focus on a task at hand, these types of mental daydreams or distractions can be devastating to performance. The key here is to have total awareness of the situation and realize what’s happening when you mind begins to wander. However, once you begin to understand the times your mind is getting off course, then you will begin to truly focus on whatever task is at hand.

How does all this relate to dancing exactly? Put away the cell phone. Forget the drama with other dancers. Truly focus on the conversation and sales process with each and every customer. Listen to what they’re saying, not what’s on the television behind the bar. You’ll find yourself selling a ton more dances in the process when you start doing these things on a regular basis. Be present in the moment and what you desire will become more achievable.

April 2009 News from Josh & Chandra

admin — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:39:59 +0000

It’s been well over a month since we’ve been able to update. A couple hiccups along the way, including traveling and the work laptop crashing (it’s fixed now and our brand new one arrives tomorrow!), have allowed us much room to update. But that doesn’t mean we haven’t been working on many things offline. Here are a few things to look for.

Site revisions. We’ve tweaked the site here at joshandchandra.com to be more visually appealing as well as more functional.
New Free Stripper Ebook in progress! We’ve been working on a new Exotic Dancer E-book that we will be offering for free to our loyal readers. It’s about half completed at this time, but will offer some tried and true methods how dancers can bank at work without having to break their back (or feet) every night at work! We’re very excited about this one, so stay tuned.
New articles coming shortly. We’ve been really focusing inward lately, rather then focusing on only the external environment, and are going to share what we’ve found. Be prepared to take your career to the next level after reading what we’ve discovered.

But otherwise we’ve been busy working on several other projects. As they near completion, we will be back posting on a much more regular basis here at JoshAndChandra.com. Here’ s to your continued success.
