About
Meet Douglas Haan

For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people unlock their potential and create lasting success. My journey started in fitness and personal training, where I quickly realized that true transformation wasn’t just physical—it required clarity, mindset, and a winning strategy in all areas of life.

That realization led me to expand my expertise beyond fitness into business leadership, career strategy, and holistic wellness coaching. Over time, I became the #1-rated life coach on multiple platforms, coaching thousands of individuals—from high-performing executives to entrepreneurs—helping them gain clarity, build unshakable confidence, and design lives that truly fulfill them.

Through my Method, I’ve developed a science-backed and experience-driven coaching method that delivers real, measurable results. Whether it’s reclaiming personal power, scaling a business, mastering health, or finding purpose, I give my clients the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts to make their goals inevitable.

“You get in life what you focus on.” This philosophy drives everything I do. I teach my clients to focus on what truly matters, eliminate distractions, and build a life of impact and fulfillment

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
ABOUT ME
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Glad you made it to my site! My name is Douglas Haan, and I am an Entrepreneur, Wellness Expert, and coach who empowers people to reach their full potential in life & business. I am super competitive and do whatever it takes for my clients to win at work and at home. I am a proud dad of two awesome kids, have two dogs, happily married, and absolutely love where I live. I love what I do for a living! Over 170,000 people have been impacted by my coaching since 2003. Now that you made it this far, can you keep a secret? It has not always been that way, and life still has its challenges. What looks like luck and circumstance on the outside to get where I am today, has really been years of dedication, perseverance, and grit. I have survived alcoholism, depression, loss of purpose, anxiety, burnout, multiple failed businesses, loneliness, and no sense of purpose. However, through all of that, I am blessed to have had the right mentors to inspire me to turn my pain into my purpose and use my struggles to help others. My ability to really feel what my clients are going through has enabled me to help them achieve better results. I do what I do today because, after each major problem in my life that I solved, I promised myself I would help others do the same. I would love to hear your story and how I can help.

My approach is 50% Art and 50% Science while being fun, compassionate, and results-based. I started coaching in 2003 as a personal trainer while in college. As time went on in my career, I learned to help people with a variety of challenges, including mental health, business, addiction, and life purpose. My mission has been to empower more people as I grow in my career. Over the last two decades, I have held senior leadership roles with top wellness companies, owned a health club at 35, launched my own mobile app, and had the #1 rated wellness business in North Carolina through Thumbtack. Through time I added mental health & wellness, career coaching, business strategy, meditation, and general life coaching. I continue to coach my fitness and nutrition training. Through the years, I have come to the conclusion, that a comprehensive wellness approach achieves the best results. In order for people to succeed in life and business they need to have a goal. They need to know their starting point, develop a strategy, and have a coach to hold them accountable to their goal.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Douglas Haan of douglashaan.com demonstrates risk-taking through his entrepreneurial ventures, business ownership across multiple industries, and his emphasis on guiding others through significant career and life transitions. His professional story is marked by launching startups, owning businesses in fields as varied as health clubs, technology, and real estate, and helping clients forge new paths rather than sticking with traditional employment or career patterns.

Evidence of Risk-Taking
Haan has started or owned businesses in more than 10 sectors, including health clubs, technology, transportation, and e-commerce, which inherently involves risk and adaptability.

He has personally launched multiple startups, including “Train Anywhere” and “Haan Wellness,” and has moved into corporate wellness consulting and franchise ownership, showing comfort with uncertainty and change.

Many of his clients are entrepreneurs themselves; one of his services is entrepreneur coaching, which involves helping others embrace calculated risks to grow businesses.

Coaching Philosophy and Risk
Haan’s life coaching and business advisory services are centered on empowering clients to overcome obstacles and transition into new ventures or more fulfilling careers—often a risk-laden process.

He directly addresses the importance of breaking through obstacles and pursuing ambitious goals, encouraging clients and business owners to leave comfort zones and invest in new ventures.

His philosophy emphasizes resilience, innovation, and moving towards uncharted territory to reach full potential, all core aspects of risk-taking in professional and personal growth.

Public Perception
Reviews and profiles highlight his innovative problem-solving and his ability to “create solutions,” especially for those starting first businesses or contemplating major career shifts.

Haan is recognized for building a legacy through business ownership, not just employment, and encouraging his clients to do the same.

Douglas Haan can be accurately described as a risk taker, both in his personal business journey and in the way he coaches and inspires others to take calculated, strategic risks with their careers and business ventures.
