Meet Sarah Ray | Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sarah Ray and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Sarah, have you ever found yourself in a spot where you had to decide whether to give up or keep going? How did you make the choice?
I think this is a fantastic question! We all have the Covid blues that’s for sure! Many of us have spend the time reflecting not only on ourselves but our business. Can we rise above or do we fail?
Failure has never been a option for me.
Working in the sex industry with no regulations/ industry standards has been challenging over the years. Starting a company in this industry is not like opening a café, you cant follow the guidelines or protocols, you just have to work it out yourself like a baby learning to walk.
During the first massive lock down i lost my whole business. I had a cry then put my big girl pants on and thought, right what do you need to do to become bigger and better then ever before.
I went though my whole company with a fine tooth comb and updated the front end and back end platform of my company. I had time to do things i never had time to do in 10 years. The re launch was a grand success.
Recently I found out a marketing company i employed for 6 years totally sabotaged my business.
I intrusted them to help build my company instead they ripped me off and left
me for dead.
Not only did i loose most of my income due to lockdown then this on top, sabotaging my rankings to the point of not even being seen!
Do I give up or do i keep going? Back on that horse!
I was so happy to find a all rounder marketing company who is industry based which changed everything for me,
I am on a amazing new path of new creations and success.
We are about to launch Virtual Shows and services. Offering various Strip shows,
Topless and Nude personal trainers, chefs, yoga instructors and more.
Diversification is the key to on going success with any business.
Adapting to our new world is how we must survive.
A proud business owner of 12 years and a mom of 3 beautiful kids. The simple answer is NEVER GIVE UP!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well i live in Brisbane QLD Australia We are very lucky to have some amazing roof top bars with amazing views of the river and the city.
I enjoy all the fine foods and Brisbane sure has its share of amazing places to eat.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to say thanks to Henning Geiler who has been by my side from the very start. He met me when i was young women with a grand idea.
For the past 12 years he has been my right hand man helping me create a customized platform to allow me to run my company as smooth and organized as i do.
Never has he not been by my side though the good and bad.
I thank him always for trusting in me and my business ideas.
