About Alan:
Why I Believe in Partnerships (And Why I'm Good at Them)
It Started with a Movie Poster
When I was seven years old, we lived at the back of a corner store. The local movie theater displayed their posters in our shop window, and one day I asked my Dad if they paid us anything for that space.
When he said no, I asked if I could get a free movie pass in return.
I had free movies from then on.
That was my first lesson in creating win-in partnerships - finding value that others were missing and structuring deals where everyone benefits.
53 Years of Business Problem-Solving
Since then, I've been solving business problems and spotting opportunities across multiple industries:
- Started as junior chartered accountant in 1972 - 53 years of business experience
- Started coding in 1978 - did my first commercial programming job with the Australian Bureau of Statistics for census data
- Built my first website for my 5-year-old niece's birthday (she turned 35 in May this year)
- Achieved CPA Fellow status in 1994 - the highest designation in CPA Australia, which I still hold
- As Credit Manager Australia for the Trade Finance division of what was then Australia's largest finance company, I established their credit function and analyzed hundreds of businesses
- Owned multiple companies including an audio-cassette distribution company, building company, and land development company
- Currently consult with companies doing $2M+ annual revenue
- Completed postgraduate study in 2023 on Machine Learning, General AI, and Robotic Process Automation
Why I Focus on Partnerships Now
After decades in business, I've noticed something: there are things I love doing that others hate, and things that come easily to others that I find difficult.
Teaching and mentoring are incredibly satisfying for me - but also draining. I realized the partnership model leverages the skills of both parties to accomplish what neither would do alone, even if they had the capability.
Recent Training with Jay Abraham
My latest partnership education came through direct mentorship with Jay Abraham - a legendary advocate for partnership and collaborative business practices. His approach reinforced what I'd learned over decades: the best business growth comes from strategic partnerships where both parties are genuinely invested in each other's success.
My Commitment to You
I don't make money unless you make money. That's not just a tagline - it's how I've structured this entire business model.
When we partner together, I'm not selling you a course and walking away. I'm betting my time, expertise, and resources on your success. The 50/50 revenue split means we're literally partners in this venture in every sense of the word.
My role: Handle the business systems, sales processes, and technical setup so you can focus entirely on what you do best - teaching and serving your audience.
Your role: Bring your expertise and engaged audience, create the content, and help us validate what your people really want.
Together, we build something neither of us would create alone.

No sales pitch. Just a conversation about whether we're a good fit to work together.
