In the world of business, there are entrepreneurs… and then there are outstanders — individuals who refuse to follow the crowd, who innovate with purpose, and who build businesses that leave legacies.

Douglas Graeme McCoy is one of them.

An award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, wellness innovator, and creator of the Life ReCreation system, McCoy is recognised around the world for helping individuals, businesses, and communities recover from setbacks and rise to new levels of impact.

From Adversity to Global Influence

The journey of Douglas McCoy began like many great transformation stories — with a collapse.

A self-made millionaire by 30, McCoy built and lost multi-million dollar businesses, battled through legal and personal wars, and stared down public attacks and betrayals. But what makes him a true business outstander isn’t just that he survived — it’s that he turned his pain into a framework for others to thrive.

“You can either be crushed by your past or use it to build your future,” McCoy says.

That mindset became the foundation for his globally recognised system: Life ReCreation.

What Is Life ReCreation?

Life ReCreation is McCoy’s signature personal development system — designed for leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who are ready to overcome limitation and design a life with clarity, direction, and fulfilment.

It combines five essential elements:

  1. Clarity – Who are you, really?

  2. Healing – Letting go of emotional baggage

  3. Vision – Designing your ideal life and work

  4. Alignment – Living by values, not pressure

  5. Action – Building momentum with intentional habits

Whether you're recovering from financial failure or looking to lead with more purpose, Life ReCreation helps rebuild from the inside out.

The Innovation of Resilience: Vitalizer Rebounder

In addition to mindset mastery, Douglas Graeme McCoy is also known for blending health innovation with personal transformation.

His invention, the Vitalizer Rebounder, is a premium 48-inch mini trampoline designed to support:

  • Joint-friendly cardio

  • Lymphatic drainage

  • Energy and stress recovery

  • Balance and emotional clarity

Used in homes, corporate wellness programs, and retreats, the Vitalizer is more than a product — it’s a symbol of resilience.

“You don’t need to push harder,” McCoy explains. “You need to bounce smarter.”
