About Doug
Doug Collins, a seasoned entrepreneur, author, and coach, brings a wealth of experience spanning over two decades in successfully establishing and operating home-based businesses. Doug embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in his 20s, fueled by an innate passion for self-employment. In 1998, despite its modest beginnings, Doug's part-time venture soon evolved into a thriving international internet-based business.
In 2010, when his corporate role was dissolved due to a company-wide restructure, Doug seized the opportunity to transition into full-time self-employment. His diverse professional experience, coupled with his personal interests, set the stage for him to dive deeply into his business ventures.
With a keen eye on reducing his income tax burden, Doug explored tax write-off strategies. Recognizing a widespread need for such information in the home business sector, he created "Home Business Tax Secrets," an online course and coaching system designed to assist fellow home-based entrepreneurs in understanding and leveraging the many tax write offs available to them.
In the face of a global pandemic, Doug's commitment to supporting others prompted him to author a book designed to aid home-based businesses. His debut publication in August 2020, "The Home-Based Business Guide to Write-Off Almost Anything," garnered widespread praise, earning him the distinction of being a #1 Best Selling author on Amazon. Doubling down on that success and in response to reader feedback, Doug published the 'Updated and Expanded' second edition of the book in February 2023, which swiftly climbed the ranks to become another Amazon bestseller.
Today, Doug continues to grow his home-based business interests, while simultaneously fostering a community of like-minded, driven entrepreneurs. He frequently shares valuable lessons, tips, and strategies across social media platforms, as well as through insightful blog posts on his own websites.
In addition to his business success, Doug holds certifications as a nutrition consultant, metabolic health coach, and emotion code practitioner. His latest book, published in May 2023, "Beyond Feel Great," reflects his passion for wellness and underscores his commitment to inspiring others to live their best lives. The transformative power of the insights shared in this book mirrors Doug's personal journey towards improved health, testifying to his unwavering belief in the power of focus and consistency.
