Clear the blocks that are holding you back & find the partner you've always longed for

Created by Bestselling Author and Coach John Williams in collaboration with the leading experts in the dating industry.  

Why are so many of us struggling with dating today?  

If you're finding dating difficult today, you're not alone. We polled thousands of people about their experiences with dating and we discovered a LOT of shared frustrations.  

Dating apps & sItes promise instant access to a pool of hot single people but the reality is very different.  

The average user spends many hours online to get into one interesting conversation (with someone who then disappears on them) or to get one date that goes no further. 

It's become easier than ever to find a hook-up but harder than ever to find love.  

If you're going to make dating work for you, you're going to need a smarter strategy.  

We all want LOVE - but what if we are our own biggest obstacle?

We all dream of a relationship that is fun, enriching and supportive with someone we truly desire.  

But aside from all the external factors today sometimes we are actually our own biggest obstacle to finding the right person.  

Perhaps you've become demotivated. (I meet plenty of men and women who have just about given up on dating altogether.)

Or when you get into a dating situation your nerves or your desire to 'get it right' on the night make it a miserable experience for you - and your date doesn't get to see you at your best. Sometimes we simply self-sabotage - ruling people out for the slightest flaw, or consistently getting attracted to people who don't turn out to be right for us. So we need a new approach to dating & rela&ionships - one that's smarter, deeper & more&authentic. And that's why I created The Love Challenge Academy.

The smarter, deeper & more authentic way to date & find love

I'm John Williams and I've been obsessed with finding solutions to life's greatest challenges for decades. That's why I founded my company The Ideas Lab 13 years ago and since then have helped 1000s of people to change their lives.  

My books Screw Work Let's Play and Screw Work Break Free have been recommended in The Sunday Times, The Guardian and many other newspapers & m&gazines and have now been translated into 10 languages.  

At the beginning of 2018 I committed to tackling a new challenge - that of finding love.  

I was hearing from so many men & women t&at the dating world is too superficial, too stressful, and just doesn't work for them.  

So I immersed myself in the topic of modern dating, polled thousands of people on their experience, applied everything I'd learned about psychology & self-devel&pment from decades of research, and consulted specialist experts in flirting, confidence, dating & relationships to formulate a smarter way to find love.  

What I was creating quickly attracted interest from the media: Psychologies magazine wrote a 2-page feature on The Love Challenge and I then teamed up with them to create a special one-off podcast.

But I knew I had to go further - to create a powerful online programme for men & women to discover the smarter, deeper way to date, get radically improved results and find the partner they've always longer for. We ran it in a test-run in November 2018 and the feedback was fantastic. This stuff works! Now, we've improved it even more and turned into a home-study course that you can take at your own pace to clear the blocks that are holding you back, and finally find the right person for you. Welcome to The Love Challenge Academy.

“I thought I should let you know how well your course worked. I have now finally met someone (after 3 years!) Just weeks after your course finished I finally allowed someone to get close to me. I didn’t realise how shut off I’d become and how jaded with the whole process. Huge huge thanks for running the course and creating big wide smiles on both my man and me!” - Andrea

WHAT GRADUATES ARE SAYING ABOUT THE LOVE CHALLENGE...

"Do it...I think if you've not been actively dating and avoidant of it this is a good way to push you towards why that is." Tessa

"You will learn a lot about who you are in a relationship and what you really want in and from a potential partner. Lots of practical tips too!" Vanessa

"Give yourself a month to find access to a New You....." Angela

"Some of my fixed ideas are more open now, I think differently about who a possible partner could be, more relaxed as I discovered my experience is normal!" V


"The short story is that having been single for over five years, I met a guy a couple of weeks after The Love Challenge, we’re still together and I’m happy. The longer story is how The Love Challenge changed my mindset and how it worked for me...

I made an effort to ‘connect’ with more people, both men and women, as I learnt that it’s important to practice talking to people you don’t know, and they might have an available friend who’s right for me; when I connected with my guy I didn’t allow the message of ‘he’s not my type’ stop me having a first date, or a second, as I kept thinking ‘my type hasn’t worked in the past’. 

I kept it slow, and referred frequently to what we learned in The Love Challenge, such as understanding the differences between people’s positive and negative relationship qualities, and about how to embrace my feminine side; I took the advice of friends as recommended, and started dressing a bit differently at parties, and I tried all the flirting advice too. There’s more learning I can talk about, but that would be a very long story! 

Thank you so much for setting it all up and running it so well. I really appreciated your openness and honesty during it; I think that gave me faith in finding someone at all after such a long time." Frankie


"Online dating can sap your confidence. The Love Challenge has created a positive mindset, built my confidence and helped me work out what I want in a relationship." Gary

"Johns’ approach to dating is unique, it’s not just about ‘man or woman up’ it’s more about the whole of you and letting you look at yourself fragment by fragment and to understand the subtlety of the problems within us, rather than blaming the whole dating system." Andrea

"The Love Challenge really has down to earth, common sense, useable information." Ken

"It's a good holistic look at you and relationships". H

"You will still be single in a few months' time if you don't do it!" Julian

Got a question?

Who is The Love Challenge for? The Love Challenge is for all women and men who have become frustrated with their current dating situation and are ready to try something new that will finally get results.

I'm exhausted with dating! I haven't got the energy to try something new.  

The Love Challenge is not a race. It's here to give you the support you need whatever stage you're at. The comprehensive programme can be done at any speed and in any order. You call the shots. Also, we make it fun with plenty of encouragement and humour along the way :)

Who can take part?  

The Love Challenge Academy has been created so that you can participate from anywhere in the world.

What do I need in order to take part?  

All you need is a computer or mobile phone and access to the internet.

I am L/G/B/T/Q, is The Love Challenge for me?  

Everyone is welcome! We don't have modules or guest experts aimed specifically at LGBTQ participants but the majority of what we discuss (even when we reference the masculine/feminine dynamic) applies across all relationships. If you have any specific concerns do ask us in the live chat window.

What are the dates of the course? There are no set dates. The course can be done over whatever timescale you need and you will have lifetime access allowing you to really get to grips with the info and make lasting changes that really deliver.

How much time do I need available to take part?  

We show you how to make progress on your love life in as little as 20 minutes a day. You'll want to take some time after this to reflect and complete the short actions that accompany the lessons.  

Of course the more time you can put in (eg at the weekend), the faster you'll progress but you’ll be amazed what you can achieve in short slots of time when we show you how.

Do I need to be single to join?  

You're welcome to join if you're in a relationship because there is a lot to learn about self-esteem, flirting, sex and relationships even if you are not looking for someone new.
