— About Me
Hello! I am
John Douglas
Lead Mindset Coach at John Douglas Coaching, I’ve had the privilege of working with dozens of entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders just like you to help them break free from the daily grind, to stop working 'in', and start working 'on' the business. With the freedom to step into their visionary leadership role, my clients' experience accelerated business growth as they empower their team to take ownership and excel!
Our Mission
To Achieve 1 Billion Hours of Freedom
At John Douglas Coaching, our mission is to empower business leaders across the world to collectively reclaim 1 Billion Hours of Freedom every year. We are committed to being the ultimate support system for business owners who aspire to be visionary leaders with the time and financial freedom to work 'on' and beyond their business.
Why?
To grow a portfolio of thriving stand-alone businesses, which not only bring personal fulfilment and security, but are vehicles for making meaningful contributions in their communities and lays the foundation for future generations to thrive. We believe business leaders are hungry do more good in the world, and we are ensuring they have the time to do it.Â
Did you know that 95% of your success in any area of life is rooted in your mindset, while only 5% is about strategy? This is why shifting your mindset can be so transformative. By focusing on altering inhibiting thought patterns and limiting beliefs, I’ve helped my clients develop clear strategic visions, attract top talent and strengthen their teams’ performance, delegate effectively, and replace self-doubt with unwavering confidence.
I hold a first-class honours MSc degree in Business Strategy from UCD Smurfit Business School, where I excelled in strategy and marketing. My educational background, combined with experience working overseas in diverse cultures and different markets, equips me with a unique perspective and a broad understanding of various business landscapes.
Before I began my own coaching business, I spent over half a decade advising and supporting high-profile members of the farming community in their goal-achievement helping them excel both professionally and personally.
My clients compliment my genuine commitment to help them and my ability to make complex information easy and actionable. I’m dedicated to identifying the root causes of your challenges and helping you overcome them in simple, effective ways. I also believe in fun and humour making your journey both productive and enjoyable.
In addition to coaching, I’m a part-time farmer on our family farm in Wicklow. Recently, I’ve built my dream home there with my amazing fiancée Sophie. I have a keen interest in all things business, strategy, mindset, and innovation. Outside of this, I enjoy hurling, CrossFit, and relish hiking in the Wicklow mountains.
