MM Lead Capture

You feel it, don’t you?

The hollow ache deep in your chest.
The quiet voice constantly whispering in the background.
The smoldering frustration as another day of mediocrity passes you by.

When you were younger, you had big plans. Grand ambitions.

But your life doesn’t represent those visions at all.

Instead, here you sit. Leading an average, and entirely forgettable, life. Living up to a fraction of your potential.

Thinking, “I was made for more than this…”
Asking yourself, “What happened?…”
And more importantly, “Is this how it will be for the rest of my life?…”

It doesn’t make sense.

You’ve done everything “right.”
You’re a good guy. Smart. Reliable. Nice.
Maybe too nice.

And now… you’re stuck.

Not because you lack talent. Not because you’re lazy. Not because you don’t have what it takes.

But because you’re terrified to succeed.

I know, because I was, too.

The Real Reason Nice Guys Like You Stay Stuck

At a deep, unconscious level, Nice Guys believe: “I’m not okay just as I am.”

Early in life, this belief gets internalized at an emotional level and morphs into toxic shame. That shame shapes everything—how you work, how you relate, how you show up in the world.

It leads you to build a life centered on being liked, feeling safe, and being good… But never great.

Because greatness contradicts your self-image. It threatens to expose the shame you work so hard to keep hidden.

So instead, you keep people happy. Play it safe. Never rock the boat. Even when the untapped potential within you is begging to be expressed.

Let me explain…

Success requires releasing the belief that has shaped your entire life

It means accepting that you are okay, just as you are.

And like most Nice Guys, you simply can’t do that—at least, not without serious effort.

So, when success shows up, it clashes with your emotional reality. You literally can’t integrate it. Because to succeed would mean rewriting your entire identity.

So you sabotage.

You pull back. Burn it to the ground. Just to return to the emotional rut you were taught to live in.

Because, although fear, shame, and obscurity may suck, at least they feel familiar.

And familiar feels safe.

Then, this fear of changing identities is compounded by another core fear…

If you are successful, there’s one inevitable outcome… FAILURE

Nice Guys live their lives trying to avoid one thing above all else… Being found out.

And nothing threatens your chances of discovery like success.

With success comes visibility. People start watching. Expecting. Depending.

The odds of disappointing someone and failing publicly skyrocket.

That terrifies you when you’ve spent your entire life avoiding the spotlight, hiding behind deceptive productivity, helpfulness, and perfectionism.

You’re afraid that if people see you, they’ll realize you’re a fraud.

So when opportunity knocks, you pull back, delay, or step aside. Not because you doesn’t want it, but because success feels like exposure…

And for a man living in shame, exposure feels like death. So, what does you do?

Most Nice Guys don’t crash and burn – They just live in MEDIOCRITY

You stay competent, dependable, and liked.

Never taking risks, and slowly rotting in the middle.

You do just well enough to get a moderate amount of praise and avoid too much attention or criticism. But you never really excel. Never really take your game to the next level.

Why? Because mediocrity is manageable. It doesn’t make waves. Doesn’t trigger anyone. And most of all, it’s familiar.

So you stay in the same job for years, even when you know in your heart you’re put here for so much more. You remain in situations that drain you. You chase low-stakes wins just to stay busy, while avoiding the one thing that would actually change everything.

Not because you lack ambition or capability, but because you never gave yourself permission to go all in.

The cost of being a Nice Guy isn’t outright failure. It’s stagnation.

So What’s the Way Through?

After being fired from my first real job, I found myself installing Murphy beds for minimum wage (despite holding a doctorate), confronting the painful truth I had always known: I was meant for so much more, and I was capable of so much more.

That’s when it hit me: If I was going to work my ass off for no money installing Murphy beds, I might as well work my ass off for no money starting my own private therapy practice.

Within three months, I was making more money seeing a handful of clients a week than I was installing Murphy beds.

That decision, and the hustle that followed, paid off and set a tone that continues to this day.

As I began building that practice, I quickly learned some universal laws for professional survival. No one taught me these—they just became self-apparent. Over the years, I’ve discovered around 30 such laws for business success.

And these principles didn’t just build my business, they confronted the toxic shame I’d been carrying for decades. They helped me let go of the belief that I had to earn my worth by being good, agreeable, or invisible. They taught me to show up clear, grounded, and unapologetically bold—even when it was uncomfortable.

In essence, they helped me dismantle my Nice Guy operating system at the root.

My universal laws for business success are what allowed me to break through, become a full achiever, and make my dent in the fucking universe.

They can do the same for you.

As I always say: What one man can do, another man can do. If a lifelong, moderately performing guy like me can turn it around and live the life of his dreams, so can you.

Do you want to let go of the familiar and pursue your dreams? Do you want the freedom to live anywhere in the world? Do you want to live an abundant life? Do you want to give your gift to the world? Do you want to put a dent in the universe?

If you’re done standing in your own way and ready to step into your full potential, Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last, They Rot in Middle Management will give you the roadmap. Here’s what’s waiting for you inside:

Lesson 1: Why Nice Guys Get Stuck in Middle Management
  • Finally, understand what has kept you stuck in mediocrity and how to escape it, so you can start rising to your full potential.
  • See how your fraudulent niceness has quietly drained you for years and find out how to replace it with a genuine confidence that actually commands respect.
  • Expose the hidden "covert contracts" you've been unconsciously living by, why they have left you resentful, exhausted, and stuck, and how to break free from them once and for all.
Lesson 2: Leapfrog Over Your Fear of Success
  • The powerful truth about the "fear of success" that's kept you stuck in mediocrity, and the clarity to break free from self-imposed limitations and achieve the success you're truly capable of.
  • A highly practical technique to overcome the "fear of success" and expose your specific success roadblocks, so you can overcome obstacles without fear, friction, or self-sabotage.
  • Escape the trap of "deceptive productivity," so you can stop wasting energy on low-stakes tasks and focus on the high-impact work that leads to promotions, recognition, and real achievement.
Lesson 3: Develop Integrity
  • A high-leverage approach that shows you how to achieve more while doing less, so you can stop throwing your time away and focus your energy on the work that actually moves the needle.
  • A direct way to silence the self-doubt and second-guessing that’s been slowing you down, so you can make confident decisions, take bold action, and get visible results faster.
  • A boundary-setting exercise to break free from people-pleasing and regain control of your time, priorities, and professional results.
Lesson 4: Embrace Abundance
  • A direct way to silence the self-doubt and second-guessing that’s been slowing you down, so you can make confident decisions, take bold action, and get visible results faster.
  • A reframe that shows you how to leave old deprivation patterns behind and start moving like a man who expects to win, setting high goals and taking calculated risks.
  • The real link between abundance and performance and how rewiring this one belief can sharpen your judgment, increase your output, and open the door to bigger roles and better results.
Lesson 5: Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway
  • A new way to see fear, not as a problem, but as a signal that points straight at the next level of your growth, impact, and success.
  • Dismantling the deep-seated belief that you can’t handle life's events and how to develop the mindset of someone who takes action and thrives under pressure
  • A practical fear-setting exercise that brings your next move into sharp focus, helping you stop stalling and start making progress where it counts.
Lesson 6: Find Your Focus
  • The real reason your progress has stalled, and how removing distractions helps you lock in on the work that creates meaningful results you can stand behind.
  • A system to bring structure to your effort, so you stop reacting to everything around you and start producing consistent, focused progress on your terms.
  • A path to reconnect with what actually matters to you, so you can build projects, habits, or creative work that reflect who you are, not who you think you’re supposed to be.
Lesson 7: Open Up to Adventure
  • Why your days feel flat and repetitive, and how stepping outside your routine helps you reconnect with energy and clarity in your career and personal life.
  • A daily boldness practice of simple actions that build confidence, sharpen decision-making, and help you speak up, step forward, and take your shot.
  • A 7-day challenge that forces you to try new things, break patterns, and build a habit of forward motion, so bold action becomes your new baseline, not a rare exception.
Lesson 8: Build Your Team
  • How to identify the people who drain your time, dull your ambition, or keep you playing small, so you can stop managing relationships that stall you and start investing in the ones that fuel your growth.
  • A method to build a support circle that actively challenges and backs you, so you get honest feedback, accountability, and the kind of strategic input that helps you execute faster.
  • A proven framework to manage up, so your boss (or anyone above you) knows how to support your priorities, clear obstacles, and give you space to deliver results.

Dr. Robert Glover

Hi there, I’m Dr. Robert Glover, author of No More Mr. Nice Guy and creator of Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last, They Rot in Middle Management.

For the first 30 years of my life, I was the classic underachieving Nice Guy. After being fired from my first real job, I found myself installing Murphy beds for minimum wage (despite holding a doctorate), confronting the painful truth I had always known: I was meant for so much more, and I was capable of so much more.

I needed to stop playing small and become a full achiever.

That shift changed everything. I built a thriving private practice, wrote a book that publishers said would never sell (now bringing six-figure royalties annually), became an online entrepreneur and digital nomad before most people knew what these terms meant, and created a location-independent business that allows me to live exactly where and how I want.

This course distills everything I’ve learned over 30+ years—not from theory, but from transforming my own life and helping thousands of others do the same.

If you’re ready to stop rotting in middle management and start living up to your full potential, I’d be honored to show you how.

Middle Management Testimonials

Paul Brown, England

“Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last gave me the confidence to try new things, take risks, say no, and believe in myself. The course helps with the whole of life, not just work. It explains why you keep on doing the same old things and not getting the results. It also puts you in touch with people in different industries which I liked. I’m a structural engineer but it put me in touch with journalists, accountants, nurses, dentists, computing industry, financial industry, etc. The issues they had were similar to my own. It was great to learn from others.”

Phil, 37, Dallas

“There are many books and courses on career improvement. What I like about the Middle Management class is that Dr. Glover begins by addressing some of the issues specific to those who are recovering from NGS. This paves the way for a better understanding of what might be holding someone back regarding their career goals. I have used the principles to finally finish a major project and am now armed with a better tool set. I am working on finding my ‘Really Great Job.’ I Highly recommend this course.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just for guys in corporate or management jobs?

Not at all. These principles apply whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, corporate employee, or even working part-time. The “middle management” concept is about getting stuck in mediocrity in any field—not just traditional corporate structures. I’ve worked with everyone from CEOs to creative professionals to guys just starting their careers.

What if I'm not sure I'm a "Nice Guy" or don't think I am one?

The specific label doesn’t matter. These are universal business principles that apply to anyone who wants to maximize their professional potential. Whether you call it being a “Nice Guy,” perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or just playing it safe—the core issue is the same: talented people sabotaging their own success. If you’ve ever held back from promoting yourself, avoided taking calculated risks, or settled for less than you’re capable of achieving, these strategies will help you break through those barriers and perform at your true level.

How is this different from your book "No More Mr. Nice Guy"?

The book focuses primarily on relationships, dating, and personal life. This course is laser-focused on career, money, and professional achievement. While there’s some overlap in the underlying psychology, the strategies and applications are completely different. You don’t need to read the book first, but many guys find them complementary.

Should I take this course if I'm already happy with my job?

If you’re genuinely satisfied and fulfilled professionally, this might not be for you right now. But if there’s any part of you that wonders “what if” or feels like you could be doing more meaningful work or making more money—then yes. Many successful guys take this course not because they’re miserable, but because they want to level up.

How much time does this require?

The course is eight lessons that you can complete at your own pace. Most guys finish it in 2-4 weeks, spending about an hour per lesson. But you get lifetime access, so you can revisit the material anytime. The real transformation happens when you start implementing the principles in your daily work life.

Will I have access to this course forever?

Yes, once you enroll, you have lifetime access to all video lessons and materials. You can watch them as many times as you want, whenever you want.

What if I'm just starting my career or don't have business experience?

Perfect timing. It’s much easier to build the right habits early than to unlearn decades of self-sabotaging patterns. The universal laws I teach apply whether you’re 22 or 52, whether you’re climbing the corporate ladder or building your own business.

Is this only for men?

While the content is written from a male perspective and most of my students are men, the principles absolutely apply to women who struggle with similar patterns. I’ve had many “Nice Girls” go through this course with excellent results.
