Lighthouse Group Sessions - Pharos Business Services Inc.

Guest Overview

The Lighthouse Group Sessions are a fast-paced, 60-minute diagnostic mastermind for business-to-business (B2B) founders, operators, and executive leaders. We focus on clarity, diagnostic problem-solving, and high-leverage strategic connections.

Who Belongs in the Room

Established B2B Business Leaders: Owners and executives who serve other businesses and are focused on growth and operational leverage.
High Performers Seeking Clarity: Entrepreneurs who value time, structure, and surgical feedback over casual networking.
Action-Oriented Operators: Leaders who come prepared to diagnose problems, take notes, and execute outside the call.

Who This Is NOT For

B2C operators, hobbyists, or individuals seeking a casual social club or coffee chat.
Unprepared drop-ins, chronic interrupters, or people looking to practice unstructured public speaking.
Anyone looking to defend why ideas “won’t work” rather than growing together.

Rules of Engagement

Pre-Registration Mandatory: All attendees must register online prior to the session. Unscreened drop-ins will not be admitted.
Strict Time Discipline: Sessions start and end precisely on time.
Muted Mic Policy: During Hot Seat Ideation, presenters remain muted to listen and take notes without debating or justifying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the Lighthouse Group Sessions free?

My business is 100% referral based. I only work with people who come to me through my network. I host the weekly Lighthouse Group Sessions for free to allow me to meet new people and demonstrate what working with me is like. To be really candid, you will either love or hate the energy in the group. I can’t describe it, so I show it. If we are a fit, we will find a way to work together. It is completely acceptable if we are not a fit to work together. I want to see how you interact with my network and how I might be able to assist you.

Can I bring a guest to the Lighthouse Group Sessions?

Absolutely! Guests are simply new friends we have not met yet. We trust your judgement. Invite a colleague or peer if you think they would benefit from joining us. Just share this page URL with them and tell them why you think they would benefit from joining us. We will send Google Meet details to them once they complete our pre-screening form.

Is there a limit to how many free Lighthouse Group Sessions I can attend?

Nope. I don’t believe in gating access to cool kids. We meet weekly and it all depends on who can make it that week. Every person adds value by showing up. We love getting to know people in our community and introducing them to others.

Can I “pitch” my business to others in the Lighthouse Group Sessions?

Hell no! This is a peer group where we meet to diagnose common business challenges and find opportunities hiding in plain sight. We collaborate, we co-create, and we bring value to our peers. You might end up doing business together… once you get to know one another and build trust. However, if you are just looking for a room to pitch your business, fair warning, we don’t tolerate predators at our watering hole.

Do you offer more than the Lighthouse Group Sessions?

You bet! We have a three tier paid system that we use to guide our best clients and contacts as they implement the “Easier to Refer System” into their businesses.

The Lighthouse Foundry is a paid peer to peer group that focuses solely on making any business easier to refer. We will discuss topics around marketing, sales, and operations and how each function can support our business as we earn more referrals. You can learn more at https://pharosbusiness.com/lighthouse-foundry.

What does it mean to “play full on” in the Lighthouse Group Sessions?

We created the Lighthouse Group Sessions to be both fun and transformational. The secret to winning any game is to understand the rules and to practice with intention. We have created our “Lighthouse Group Sessions Participant Handbook” to share our core philosophy and to help our members understand how to play full on. Our handbook is here to guide you as you grow in our network.

What, exactly, is a hot seat in the Lighthouse Group Sessions? Do I want one? How do I earn one?

The Lighthouse Group Sessions has three unique hot seats:

Hot Seat #1 — Ideation or Frustration: Raw option generation or fixing a single broken process.

Hot Seat #2 — Execution: Systemizing and operationalizing the top 3 ideas from your previous Hot Seat #1.

Hot Seat #3 — Strategic Alliances: Joint Venture matchmaking, resource sharing, or strategic network introductions.

A Lighthouse Group Sessions Hot Seat is simply an 8 minute session where you share something you are working on in your business. The group will devote their full attention to brainstorming how you can improve your business, who can help you with your business challenges, or who can guide you as you pursue big opportunities.

Our Hot Seats demonstrate the power of the collective mind in identifying the best path forward.

Once you have attended one of our weekly sessions (to learn how to play), you are welcome to submit a request to be featured in a future meeting’s hot seat segment. Click here to complete the Lighthouse Group Sessions Hot Seat Intake Form.

It is that simple. No “buy now” or “pay here” – just complete our Intake Form. You will be given a chance to pick the best date for your Hot Seat once we have a chance to review it.
