About
Alan Nagao is a success mentor, entrepreneur, and speaker based in Hawai'i. Born with a physical difference and raised in an environment that told him what he couldn't do, Alan decided early in life that his circumstances would never define his destiny. That decision changed everything.
At the core of everything Alan teaches is a practical system for personal growth built on three commitments: I Want (deciding what you want with definiteness), I Believe (building self-confidence through daily mental discipline), and I Give (contribution as the final unlock). Rooted in the principles of Think and Grow Rich and practiced for decades, the system has helped entrepreneurs, sales leaders, and individuals reprogram their mindset and produce extraordinary results.
Alan's work today is mentorship itself. After building businesses and retiring around age 39, he returned to work not for the money — but for the impact: speaking, mentoring leaders, and guiding teams as a Nu Skin Circle of Excellence IV leader. The milestones below back the philosophy without replacing it — the full narrative lives in the story section.
This platform is designed for high-achievers, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone who is ready to stop wishing and start training their mind for success. Here you will find Alan's core philosophy, interactive mental reprogramming exercises, and the tools you need to write your own Definite Purpose Declaration, build self-confidence, and align your daily actions with your biggest goals. Success is not an accident. It is trained.
