New Year's Resolution for (Aspiring) Male Strippers (2019 Edition)

I have posted resolutions for both aspiring and professional male strippers in the past.Here is another updated one.

Even now, I find that much of this advice still holds true.

So take these resolutions for what they're worth to you.



Aspiring Male Stripper Resolutions

• I will train to build a better body.
• I will eat a healthy diet to attain an ideal physique.
• I will improve my dancing abilities, even if I think I know how to dance.
• I will groom myself and maintain the highest standards of hygiene.
• I will start a portfolio of professional pictures of myself, so I have something to send to employers. (2019 Update: Some employers prefer recent selfies now)
• I will have my own cell phone with Google Maps and uninterrupted service.
• I will have my own music player accompanied by a set list of good dance songs (phones and portable speakers work).
• I will put together at least two different costumes.
• I will buy some sexy underwear for stripping.
• I will contact at least three different employers for work.
• I will listen to criticism.

Professional Male Stripper Resolutions

• I will maintain or improve my work-out routine, diet, and physique.
• I will practice my dance routine and look for ways to improve it.
• I will continue to look my best, never slacking because I have achieved success.
• I will learn to perform and speak in public, even if I think I already know how.
• I will check out different employers to learn about other opportunities out there.
• I will treat my current employer(s) with respect because they provide me with work.
• I will give my customers the best service that I can.
• I will put together another costume and/or improve the ones I already have.
• I will create business cards and network with local limo services, party buses, event organizers, or any other possible venues that may require a male stripper.
• I will update my portfolio if necessary.
• I will abstain from activities and substances that are detrimental to my health and physique (i.e. drugs, binge drinking, other illegal activities).
• I will not be envious of others, nor compare myself to my peers.
• I will be amiable, enthusiastic, and professional.
• I will not boast, brag, or gloat about my profession.
• I will always remember where I came from.
• I will strive to learn other skills and knowledge in life, because I know that I cannot strip forever.

• I will evaluate my bad parties and discover new ways to satisfy customers, even if they are difficult.
• I will count and record my earnings, even the tips down to the last dollar. I will use this information to track my personal budget, note the customer flow each month and season, and to note which parties netted the most tips so I can make the necessary adjustments for improvements. 

• I will save/invest my excess tip money wisely, instead of splurging on unnecessary things that will not benefit me in the long run.
• Keep my eyes and ears open for new opportunities and careers.
• I will seek out other job opportunities for the future, because stripping is not a career.

With that said, good luck on 2019!
