Hi, I’m Alex Hartley — a former Police Officer turned cleaning business owner and small business strategist for online and offline businesses.

With over a decade of experience running my own professional cleaning company and several online businesses, I know what it takes to build a real, sustainable business from scratch — no fluff, no corporate jargon, just proven systems and practical strategies that work.

Before launching my businesses, I served for several years as a frontline police officer and investigator, gaining deep, real-world experience in interviewing, communication, discipline, and decision-making — skills that I later used to grow trusted, 5-star rated businesses in multiple cities.

My goal as a Udemy instructor is to help everyday people take control of their income, time, and future. Whether you’re starting a side hustle, preparing for interviews, improving the skills and business you already have or learning how to launch your first self-employed venture — I’m here to make it simple, clear, and action-focused.

I teach from experience — not theory — and everything I share has been battle-tested in real homes, with real customers, in real businesses and in the real world.

Through my courses, I aim to support those who want more than just a job: people looking for stability, independence, and practical skills that create real opportunities.

I'm passionate about helping those in the gig work, self-employment and service industries, as well as those preparing for career shifts, professional interviews, or self-managed work.

If you're ready to build something of your own — Improve on what you have - or get hired faster with confidence — I’ve got your back.

Let’s get to work.
