EMPOWERMENT ESSENTIALS FOR EROTIC ENTREPRENEURS

Webinar Series

Could you go a whole week without complaining? For most of us, it's difficult to go a whole day. Yet, just imagine how life-transforming it would be to give up this one energy-sucking habit that most of us have. Challenge yourself. See how long you can go without complaining.

How do yo feel about money? Is it hard to get? Do you hate capitalism? Do you feel like there's never enough? Do your money goals feel out of reach? How do you feel about people who are financially wealthy? Do you consider them snobby or soft? Do you believe they are greedy and must have exploited people to get where they are? Explore your feelings and opinions about money because your subconscious opinions could be preventing you from achieving your goals and dreams.

Grab a sheet of paper and draw two columns. At the top of the first column, write: Things I Desire. At the top of the second column write: Things I Admire. Start by writing things you admire in others under the second column. When you're done, transfer them all to the first column. Nurture a desire to become all the qualities that you admire in others. This is the person your soul yearns to be.

Ponder the wisdom of Socrates. It is written that when a young man approached Socrates and asked him how to make friends with good people, Socrates asked him this question in return: What makes a good friend? When the young man listed the qualities he wanted in his friends, Socrates asked him: For the people with these qualities, what do you think they would look for in new friends? The young man was forced to acknowledge that they would likely be looking for the same qualities he was looking for. The moral of the story? Be the kind of person that you want to attract into your life.

Think about your favourite regular client. What do you love about this client? What does this client love about you? If you could create a profile about this client, what would it say? What are their demographics? Age, industry, marital status, interests, kinks, etc. This is a quick and dirty way to determine who your ideal client is so you can lean into your perfect niche.

Be a client. You don't have to go all the way unless you want to, but go through the process of looking for and identifying someone who provides the same services as you that you would consider paying to serve you. This exercise helps you understand the scrolling behaviour, the questions, the nervousness and other challenges our clients face in giving us their money. What hurdles do you face in your steps to be a client?

Every sex worker has their own boundaries, regardless of whether they work in the same field or not. No two escorts have the exact same boundaries. No two cam performers. No two strippers. We all have our own boundaries based on what we are willing to tolerate and what our hard nos are.

Yet, it can be difficult to maintain our boundaries sometimes. We feel pressured for the money or to keep things spicy for a regular. Whatever the reason, sometimes we are flexible with our boundaries and regret it later. The reason I bring this up is because the important thing is not to beat ourselves up for it. It happens to us all. We all do it sometimes. We are all human beings with varying moods and energy from day to day. Our boundaries are absolutely important and we deserve to have them respected at all times. But we do not deserve to suffer under our own self-recriminations. We are not flawed or weak. We are human. Let it go and try to do better next time. It's all we can do.
