I had the pleasure of meeting Eric Holmlund at Underground IV back in March. Thankfully, I was even able to share the bonus dinner and scavenger hunt with him on my team and had the opportunity to talk to him for a bit.
Eric is truly a nice guy. He showed up with his family (wife and children), which speaks volumes to a family guy like me (and it made me miss my children!). He’s also very soft-spoken and came across as humble to me and is willing to put up with a bit of abuse for a good reason (perhaps I’m revealing too much here…). I truly enjoyed talking to him and feel blessed that I was able to spend an evening of my life with people like him and Joel Comm.
I also appreciate Eric’s newsletter and blog. He’s definitely approachable and listens to people, and as a result, he’s changing the focus of his Internet business. As he puts it in a recent email to his list, he’s going to quit Internet Marketing.
Yes, Eric Holmlund is quitting Internet Marketing — and I’m looking forward to it. Why? Because he’s promised a series of lessons (free to his readers) to help them build their Internet business (so click on that link and sign up for his newsletter). Beyond that, I want to see the direction he takes to earn money to support himself and his family.
I also like his reasons for doing this (they are listed on his blog), and from my brief personal encounter with Eric and from being a long-time subscriber to his newsletter (and I actually do read his blog), I truly believe them to be sincere.
So I’m looking forward to watching you as you embark on a new road, Eric, and I definitely wish you the best. Just don’t disappear completely, please… 
Best regards,
Tom

hey Tom, I just saw this on the trackbacks on my blog, and came to check it out. Thank you very much for your kind words! And I’ll try not to completely disappear
Hi Tom
When I first went online years ago, I was on Eric Holmlund’s list but years later changed computers and main emails - somehow lost contact … just seeing Eric’s name here reminded me of him and how sincere he came across back then.
It will be a pleasure to get back on his list … and hope he definitely does not completely disappear.
Thanks for the reminder anyway.
