London Speedlite Scene, promoted as LSS, is a UK, privately controlled social networking service dealing primarily in photography meetups, with interests also in video, music, fashion, modeling, makeup, hairstyling and charity fund raising. It is currently the largest informal photography meetup network in the UK, with over 1 thousand online members worldwide.
History
The network promoted under the banner of the London Speedlite Scene before becoming simplified to LSS in 2012. LSS began as an online group on Facebook in late 2010 before acquiring an independant online presence for itself in June 2011. Nathan Thompson is a founder and director of the network. Together with co founder and partner Sue-Ellen Chohan, (LSS Executive Director of Creative), the Chohan-Thompson couple arrange approximately 100% of LSS's developmental interests in the network. The network's headquarters is located in Brixton with bases in Lewisham, Catford and Bedford. LSS occupies several profiles on other social networks, all representing a significant portion of the network's photographic and video history.
The LSS Meetups
LSS typically holds photography events each month. The flagship event known as The LSS Meetups is hosted at various locations throughout the year. With the exception of The LSS Meetups, each event has separate photography schedules lasting approx two hours, although they sometimes run longer of that time. The LSS Meetups are a significant part of the promotional stream for LSS with attendees often writing articles and blogging about their experiences. The 1st LSS Meetup was held in Clapham, South West London at Sugar Cane Bar 06/12/10 and the most recent being LSS Meetup 21 at Epping Forest 26/08/12. Other LSS Meetups have been held at popular venues such as The Rivoli Ballroom, Banksy Tunnel, Murder Mile Studios, Ladywell Athletic Arena and Ingatestone Hall.
LSS Network expanded
On the back of the success of the LSS Meetups, a few other events and advances were launched expanding LSS's desire to diversify, including renting a studio on Atlantic Road, Brixton, South West London, where monthly studio events are held, producing short model vignette films, providing makeup artists and models for music videos, catwalk fashion shows and informal social events.

'E-Myth', taken from the title of book, in the business vernacular, refers to the Entrepreneurial Myth. The myth in question is the idea that being expert at the trade of one's business -- programming, carpentry, baking, accounting, etc -- is sufficient to be successful in that business. Gerber's argument is that most businesses fail because although the founders may be technically capable, with the inspiration to start a business, they typically lack a business person's outlook.
Business Management involves the direct management of all processes of business systems not just the performance of a service.
An example is one seen very often with construction companies. The owner may be a licensed heating and cooling technician who feels since he is qualified to do all the service work, he is qualified to run a business, since that business performs heating and cooling services. In fact this is the biggest mistake anyone can make. Yes he is qualified to do the work but he does not know how to set up the company, prepare reports, market his business, handle customer service issues, etc... He forgets that he went to school and became qualified to work for a business not run one.
E-Myth is also used as a verb, i.e., to 'E-Myth your business' means to build internal systems that control processes as in a franchise operation, so that results are predictable.
E-Myth methods are taught in courses at Stanford , BYU and Stetson University [http://www.stetson.edu/~khansen/Prince/BN_399.html ] and recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine, Forbes Magazine and among others. In 2003 E-Myth entered the blogosphere .
