Fueled by his passion for sports, he turned a junior year internship into a full-time position with the CBS-affiliate television station in Jackson, MS as a sports journalist, editor and videographer. Despite being courted by the likes of ESPN and several other networks, he decided to leave the TV industry.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tCollins founded Ample Opportunity, Inc., in December 2006 and provides promotional marketing, customer acquisition and sales for large, service-based corporations such as AT&amp;T, DIRECTV, U-verse, Dish Network and Staples.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:times new roman,times,serif\">To further broaden his horizons, Collins also became a certified coach, teacher, and speaker with the John C. Maxwell team just shy of his 10-year anniversary as a business owner. This led to Ample Opportunity, Inc. being named one of the top 10 corporate education and training companies in the country by Enterprise Services Outlook Magazine.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAdditionally, Collins is the author of &quot;Life is Easy. We Make it Hard &#8211; The World Wants You to Win. Get Out of Your Own Way,&quot; an award-winning self-help book that offers practical advice for its readers to follow on a range of topics such as unlocking your full potential, finding your true calling and overcoming adversity. &nbsp;Collins resides in Apopka, Florida.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&quot;Life is Easy.
