The Power Of The Six S

I am an expert on the sex industry. I know how to do the needed research and testing, how to launch an escort agency and web site. I know how to build it and develop it on the search engines and “on the ground”. I am an expert on finding and recruiting the right people – both reception and sales staff and the talent, by which I mean escort girls. I can and have made lots of escort agencies successful in lots of different places and in a whole variety of different niches and specializations – from BDSM and dominatrices to mature escorts.

But while my approach has always been deliberate and structured, and while I have always had a strategy and applied in rigorously and with a real process focus, I learned something recently that made me stop, think and reassess pretty much everything. I realized that what I have been doing to make brands such as High Class Escorts Mayfair successful has been right and that my tactical steps have  been spot on, I have not understood the overall strategy of success. Not until a friend of mine broke down what he called the Six Ss of Success; which a snappy kind of alliterative name I thought.

I should explain that my friends background was first and foremost in the military – British Special Forces to be exact – as well as years of martial arts and general fighting and combat. He then became an accountant after leaving the military and managed to segway into being a massively successful venture capitalist and business angel investor. Basically, the guy knows his shit when it comes to winning! And he told me that every contest between people and firms in any form will come down to the application of six elements.

  1. Speed – the fastest to market, the fastest to adapt wins.
  2. Size – all things being equal, scale wins. In business that is because of sheer resources that can be brought to bear – people, time, suppliers.
  3. Strength – the one with the greatest muscle – financial or otherwise – will have an advantage.
  4. Surprise – appear without warning. Change direction and approach at the drop of a hat.
  5. Savagery – be willing to do whatever it takes and to upset whoever is needed to get your win.
  6. Skill – the better you are, the more prepared that you are and the more thought through everything that you do is, the greater the chance of success. 

What looks like luck is just those six things applied consistently.
