Discussing donations is my least favorite part. I grew up in a pretty traditional Irish family and women do NOT discuss money with men. So that is something I have had to get over but yes, it is still very uncomfortable.
I will be honest I have never thought about the donation from the men's point of view, so this has helped me see. I just go off what I provide, how long I have been in the hobby and then I have had the help from several amazing women in the hobby. The women I surround myself with are all business minded AND amazing. Their here because they WANT to be not have to. They enjoy it These women have helped me build my confidence in the hobby and help me get my head on straight to succeed. So those are the main factors I have used with my donations. Now they have changed my rates few times but never so much less or more than it is now. I like run "specials" because I get times can be hard not because I'm broke. I keep a good amount in savings.
I appreciate you acknowledging why we do our donations because we as well have bills and there is a lot of upkeep for us. Some I'm sure you all don't know about and I will not give away our "hoe " secrets lol. The hoe Gods would kill me lol. We also have our hobbies. Like mine is plants and Im trying to teach myself how to refinish furniture as you can see on my twitter lol AND than the lingerie, that gotten a little out of control, but I haven't heard too many complaints lol
Just like every small business owner you have to go with the times. I ran specials over the holiday season NOT because I was breaking from shopping and so on. Because I GET IT...Im not here because I have to be Im here because I WANT to be, I don't want to take you gentleman for all your donations. I work with the guys who are kind an respectable over time who see me. Im human and I know times can be hard and you gents need your time to relax. I need that time as well lol
I enjoy being in the hobby. I am more comfortable here than I was working in special education for 13 years
Im hoping that this helps you (I know MOST of you do but maybe explains it better) guys see as more human as well. I know girls don't speak up because it can be hurtful and frustrating. I dont think Ill get any backlash from speaking up. Everyone knows I will say my opinion no matter what. Even if it pisses off people on here. nI will do it anyway lol
But I am always MORE than willing to explain the providers side NOW not all girls agree with how I do it an they have their way. All I can do is explain me, I am just a goofy lady that has a high sex drive and makes inappropriate comments a lot lol and a nice ass lol ( Im pretty proud of it if you havent been able to see)
