Why Do People Struggle To Realise Their Potential? 

Everybody wants a better life; more happiness, joy, love, money and fulfilling relationships, but there are obstacles that prevent us from achieving them, like they’re just out of reach, like the life we want is a mirage.

Our mission at Lighthouse was to find out why we struggled so much to let go of the shackles of our upbringing, and often the toxic families we came from. To grow and develop as healthy human beings, not to make lots of money initially. The main mission was to discover what gets in the way of our potential, while simultaneously trying to realise our potential. Then to build all forms of human, material, and financial value, in order to help the most vulnerable in our world.

We are committed to the absolute truth of realising human potential and believe science, religion, philosophy, history, theology, and all other disciplines, ought to work together to achieve this.

Over the years we have found people are indifferent to their potential, and often struggle to understand what it is, let alone apply it!

The 5 Greatest Threats To Our Potential 

Over 18 years, along with leading PhDs in the field of psychology, we sadly discovered that a lot of our damage, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, neurologically, psychologically and physically starts in the home. The sources of our blockages, restraining forces, and challenges to our potential come from 5 key areas – parents, siblings, spouses/partners, friends, and co-workers. Parents unfortunately are right at the top of this list. They often didn’t receive the parenting they needed, so it becomes an intergenerational nightmare.

We have found the people who have needed the most help, the most love, and the most attention were those who have been the most badly abused since childhood. Through our work, we often help people free themselves from these situations while encouraging people to love and pray for those closest to them. Unfortunately, as expected, we have received criticism from these same toxic influences, because we help to empower people to no longer be controlled or narcissistically fed on by those closest to them.

Developing Entrepreneurial Benefactors

Lighthouse is a secular business developing entrepreneurial leaders and benefactors, with a commitment to people and relationships through their transformation, which flows into building transactional value. Over the years, we realised we couldn’t truly overcome the obstacles to our potential without the Ultimate Source of that potential.  

We help people through the powerful vehicles of mentoring, coaching, counselling, leadership and management as a means for transforming potential into all forms of human, material and financial value. We’re an entrepreneurial and enterprising business that works with potential; nurturing that potential, and providing a foundation for that potential.

We build communities, forums, and networks made up of conscientious people, who are dedicated to absolute truth and reality. This must start with ourselves and our willingness to self-examine, in ways that most lack the courage to do.

Developing Benefactors As a Business Not a Charity

There are 8 billion people on the planet, including 2.5 billion Christians upholding values to help the vulnerable. How hard can it be to give 800 million children clean water, when globally, the resources exist to do it?

We are working on revolutionary new ways to solve problems like toxic water, in a way that at least reduces the suffering of every child, not just a small percentage of them.

We do this through 3 phases:

1. The first is to empower human beings, who are more beneficiaries than benefactors, to understand their potential.
2. The second is to help them transform and build value in their lives; humanly, materially and financially.
3. The third is then helping those beneficiaries become benefactors, to alleviate suffering inside and outside our front doors.

That’s where we come in as an organisation – we work on the character and competency of human beings to help them become benefactors. We don’t just do that through a week-long or month-long program, and then off you go after that.

We give people the mentoring, coaching, counselling, and accountability to follow through, to actually become a benefactor over the long term.

We are now launching a global research project that any conscientious person can be involved in, at no cost to themselves. Through their involvement, we will invest what we would have spent on marketing our research, into a child receiving clean water for a year. All we ask is that conscientious people spread the word.
