The old man here has had plenty of nasty things said about him over the years -- hard to believe that an affable guy like me could attract enemies, I know, but if even Ron Paul has haters, it's inevitable.

But I've also had lots of nice things said. One of my favorites is when daughter Amy, years ago, wrote on a Father's Day card: "You're even nice when I'm in trouble."

As it happens, I've received a lot of compliments on how I teach how to build a laptop-based side hustle or business.

Remember, I'm the guy who in high school they'd send the athletes to who were in danger of flunking out of the athletic program. They knew I'd get their grades back up. I'm a good teacher.

Here's a sample (and there are many more) from people who've viewed my Online Business Masterclass:

"Tom, you are a natural teacher: you got me excited about something I didn't think I could do. Your honesty and clarity made me a believer."
 

"So grateful I made myself join tonight -- worth every penny! Thank you."
 

"Genuinely the best, most to-the-point, online moneymaking strategies I’ve ever heard."
 

"This presentation was really on point with succinct, actionable points and not too many. No overwhelm. Great examples and recommended resources."
 

"Terrific presentation. I'm ready to take the journey.
 

"This was really great, practical, and real, useful advice."
 

"Super informative and nice step-by-step process to get started."
 

"I stayed up an hour past my bedtime just to watch this until the end."
 

"This was awesome and worth every penny!"
 

"Tom, Great presentation! My brain is bursting and I can't wait to get started."
