Doug Collins went from corporate executive to home-based entrepreneur and best-selling author
One positive change, however, was the increase in the time he spent with his children.
When his corporate job ended, she didn’t understand much about what was happening. “Looking back, however, I do remember the feeling of him being more present in our lives and available to us by being home all the time,” she said. “I remember we purchased a camping trailer that summer and we had a lot of camping trips.”
“Alongside that, I also started a consulting business that I ran on a part-time basis for a few years,” he said. “In those early days of working from home, I often found myself becoming a distracted serial entrepreneur, as I saw opportunities everywhere. However, I soon realized that focus was crucial for success and my own well-being and I closed those businesses.”
Assisting her husband after he left his corporate job was both a thrilling and nerve-wracking experience for Benjie. He is also active in his local community and volunteers as a registered tax preparer for the Canada Revenue Agency through their Community Volunteer Income Tax Program .“I continue to stay very busy working from home and am just as, if not more, passionate about home-based entrepreneurship,” he said. “Having the ability to earn an income from home is not only a dream, but it makes for the ideal retirement lifestyle.
“Drawing on my expertise in tax strategies, I recognized that many people were not familiar with claiming home-based business tax write offs,” he said. “This led me to use my time to write a book, in order to share my insights with others.”It took me five months and he released the book, titled “The Home-Based Business Guide to Write-Off Almost Anything: You'll Keep More Money Once You Know These Tax Secrets, in August 2020.
Several new chapters have also been added to the book concerning rental income, business registration and legal structures and surviving a tax audit.
