"I never had a lemonade stand, but I'm ready now."

You never had to be entrepreneurial to become one now. Let's open up your dreams so that you can show the world 'Your World' just what you're made of.

Entrepreneurship felt Risky

You needed to put food on the table, pay for the braces, add the college fund, and just be the steady for the family.

Selling never felt natural

Any time you tried to sell, it felt so uncomfortable and made you feel so awkward. So, not YOU. Or maybe you never even tried, but the thought of it is enough to make you feel uneasy. 

You kept waiting for 'someday'

Not because you are lazy - but because you wanted to do it right. Not going to fail. Nope. It had to be the right time to give it your all.

Hi, I'm Shane.

 I've lived on both sides of entrepreneurship.

Before academia, I built and worked in real businesses. Later, I earned a PhD in business and spent years helping entrepreneurs grow—while quietly wrestling with my own discomfort of starting and taking action.

I created The Nice Guy Entrepreneur to be the resource I wish I'd had—one that combines real-world experience, clear frameworks, and human encouragement.
