"Walt, next to my Bible, your book, Turn Your Passion Into Profit is the book I reference the most in my house! It is the only other book that is constantly visible (it's on the dining room table right now!)..." -- Karon Mason Etienne, MD, USA

"Walt, thank you so much for writing Turn Your Passion into Profit. Like you said, you're never really happy until you're pursuing your passion. So I want you to know that I stepped out on faith, quit my job and wrote the novel I always wanted to write. Now I'm on tour all over the country and I'm finally living my dream. I am very proud of me and you should be too!"--Hallema, author of Mass Deception


About Walt Goodridge

Who is Walt?

Entrepreneur, author, poet, public speaker and world traveler, Walt F.J. Goodridge is one of those rare lights who has remained under the radar for the past several years. However, once people discover his 12 books, his 468 unique life rhymes, Passion Profit workshops, websites and unique Passion Profit Philosophy and Formula, they often wonder why they've never heard of him before, and why he isn't more famous!

While his expertise has been acknowledged by editors and magazine writers who've sought his input and quotes for articles in the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, Black Enterprise, Essence and Billboard magazine among others, as well as by other authors who've used his work in their own books, he's never been in the public spotlight to the degree many feel he deserves.

Walt's Story


Walt, a Columbia University graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering was, like many people, destined for a career in his profession of training. He accepted a job working in the Design Division of the Port Authority Engineering department on the 73rd floor of the World Trade Center Building 1. However, within the first fifteen minutes of this his first job in corporate America, Walt, frustrated by the monotony, restrictions of nine-to-five employment, realized beyond the shadow of a doubt that he absolutely hated it!

And though he ended up working in the towers for 7 years, Walt eventually found the courage to walk away from his career to pursue his personal passion for helping others.

After many ups and downs (lights turned off, telephone disconnected, several evictions), he developed a unique philosophy and formula anyone can use to discover the unique value hidden within ANY passion. Walt's ideas have appeared in Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur's Be Your Own Boss, Time Magazine, Black Enterprise among others.

He conducts workshops around the world empowering others to follow their own path of greatest passion to prosperity and purpose.

Walt's Escape from America


Not only does he help others live their dreams, he's also a living example of what he teaches. In February of 2006, Walt embarked on a nomadpreneur adventure to live out his own dreams! He's now residing on the South Pacific island of Saipan helping others turn their passions into profit!

Walt's Philosophy and Formula



"Walt's PassionProfit Philosophy and Formula provide a level of clarity and a degree of specificity that are effective in (1)raising your belief level, (2)demystifying the entrepreneurial process, (3)removing real and perceived obstacles, and (4)actually put money in your pocket."

According to the Walt_s philosophy:
Everyone has a passion. Whether you realize it or not, you have a unique personality, interests, knowledge, experience, natural talents and a spiritual calling that sets you apart from the rest of the world.

Every passion has value. It_s a fact. ANYTHING you enjoy doing has inherent value for which people will pay to have in their own lives. The challenge is first, how to harness your own skills to create a product or service that captures the essence of that value, and then, how to tell the world about it.

You don_t need an MBA to succeed in a passion-centered business. Desire is your degree. There are powerful natural laws that can help profitize your untapped potential as a writer, singer, designer, chef or even shopaholic!

There_s really no good reason to work at an unfulfilling career or job you hate when you can get the world to pay you to do the very thing you_d do for free! Discover the formula, and TURN YOUR PASSION INTO PROFIT!

Walt's Passion Profit Cycle of Success_ shows how to
Step 1. Find Your Purpose
Step 2. Discover Your Passion
Step 3. Create a Product (or Service)
Step 4. Market it for Profit

Walt's Books and Audio
Walt has written 12 books on everything from music industry success to eating right all with the underlying goal of helping others live a passion-centered life. Perhaps his most popular book (also available as 6-cd audio) is Turn Your Passion Into Profit which offers the not only the essence, but provides the step-by-step execution for doing just what the title promises!

Many have been helped


Walt's philosophy and formula are helping people here in the US as well as people in other countries profit from the pursuit of their passions. The philosophy is simple: Everyone has a passion. Every passion has value. Find it, and you can make money doing what you love. The formula is what he's spent over 7 years developing, tweaking, sharing and using to help people become PASSIONPRENEURS, a term he coined to describe someone who has used their passion as the basis of a PASSION-CENTERED BUSINESS.

I am a business owner working on taking my business to the next level. I use Turn Your Passion Into Profit like a daily guide. It motivates me when I am feeling low and strengthens my knowledge in areas where I am weak. Walt's desire for that "perfect day" spurred him in a direction to make that day not a dream but a reality. I have made the visualization of what the perfect day will look like for me a part of my morning ritual. I cannot stress enough that Turn Your Profit Into Passion has helped me to turn my DREAMS into PLANS for my not so distant future.
--Gayle E. Santana, PVS Network/Professional Virtual Services

Hey Walt, When I first heard your personal story of the experiences that led you to the path of the passion pursuit, I knew you were achieving what many people think is out of their reach. You made me see that achievement had never been out of the reach for me. After attending your seminar and purchasing your book, I knew that the passion within me could only be profitable once I decided to take the necessary steps to success. I saw you as someone I was able to connect with and it made me think, "If he can do it, so can I." I am currently turning the passion I have of creating artwork, photography and dance to that next level. No longer are these just hobbies but a way of life that is invigorating, challenging and fulfilling. I feel a deeper connection to the purpose of this life path I am on. By focusing on this passion of creation, I am liberating myself from the limits of doing something I had no passion for. Getting Turn Your Passion into Profit was one of my first steps to acknowledging my own purpose, power and freedom. Thank you! And this comes straight from the heart because that is where passion truly lives. Peace and blessings,
--Nicole Woo, DC

We just want to wish you a happy and healthy holiday, and thank you for the tremendous guidance and support that you have provided with the book project.

This effort has more than exceeded reasonable expectations in large part because of the energy that you have brought in helping to frame the concept, chose the title, and select the packaging, as well as leading the book through the registration, printing, production, and distribution processes. You were able to make happen in just a few months what otherwise would have taken significantly longer to achieve.

Thanks again for all of your efforts, and we wish you the best with your upcoming tour. Without a doubt the PASSION PROFIT tour will achieve rock star status!

Happy, happy holidays!!"

READ MORE TESTIMONIALS

The Deeper Significance: Walt's Grand Plan of Escape

(Analysis by Zelda Owens-Waters, TalentMatch)

"A Great One knows that the way to truly help others is to simply give one's guidance without establishing oneself as an idol or holy image. True virtue is demonstrated by spreading the truth of oneness which dissolves all limitations and illuminates the integralness of life. The power of naturalness and informality in your own life can subtly and naturally lead people to rid themselves of their bondage."--Ni, Hua Ching
The Uncharted Voyage Toward the Subtle Light

There is a revolution brewing. In subtle ways, Walt is leading a revolution. By his example, people are asking different questions. By his guidance, people are shown new ways to be. Through his books, audio programs, coaching and workshops, people are shown different ways to communicate with themselves and with others, to ask different questions and make different choices.

Walt has written 12 books. On the surface, these books appear to be practical "how to" instruction manuals. Below the surface, however, there is deeper significance.

Taken collectively, Walt's published works represent diverse facets of a grand plan of escape--escape mentally, financially, physically and spiritually; a call to create one's personal Paradise and blaze one's own path towards a life of one's own choosing.

These books are a collection of ideas infused with a deeper spiritual message, illuminating a unique path and offering guidance for any and all who are ready.

That message is "break free!" That path is one of self discovery.

Life Rhymes
The Message: break free from limiting thoughts
TOWARDS A LIFE OF EMPOWERING THOUGHT

Turn Your Passion Into Profit
The Message: break free from corporately defined value and ways of earning a living and surviving
TOWARDS A LIFE OF PASSION

The Tao of Wow
The Message:break free from a limiting self worth
TOWARDS A LIFE OF GREATER PERSONAL VALUE

The Ageless Adept
The Message:break free from limiting concepts of health and wellness
TOWARDS A LIFE OF NATURALNESS

The Nomadpreneur Manual
The Message: break free from artificial and arbitrary lines
and experience the world of your creation and desires
TOWARDS A LIFE WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

Taken as a whole, Walt's works, life rhymes, articles, blogs and his own personal life choices represent a curriculum for a PhD in self-definition, self mastery, freedom and exploration. By personal example, he teaches the courage to be different, the courage to challenge the norms. He is a living testament to the efficacy of his concepts. Here is a master who leads by example.

But even after knowing all this, there is still one vital question that everyone must ask before investing their time and talents towards what Walt has to share: Does it work? Will it work for me?

These ideas will work for you if you have the courage to believe in them, the discipline to sustain them, and the will to see them through despite the external pressure, and the weight of what you have been conditioned to believe. You must be willing to become something new. It's that simple.

But the power lies not in the books, but in the belief level of the person using the books as a guide. The power of what you will be exposed to is lies in the fact that it is merely a reflection of what you already are, but of which you simply need reminding. Your own unique path is already within.

And that path is what will take you to paradise.

The Paradise Project:

"Walt, I see you as one who concerns himself with the message, not the source, and I agree. Even though my direct personal experience of you is highly limited, I believe you are the genuine article. You have the real ability to relate to people, and you have a message. That separates you from the growing crowd of spiritual messengers, prophets, mediums, and professers of truth. What you have under your belt is a documentable process of illumination, and a clear motivation. You're not looking to lay hands on people to remove the pain of whatever ails them emotionally or physically, and to charge them for such, but to empower people to become their whole and spectacular selves. It's another form of healing."--David Reed, Sedona AZ (From one of thousands of fan emails)

Many people think of paradise as someplace you visit where you live out your fantasies, enjoy freedom, live stress-free, experience beautiful scenery, perfect weather......and then return to the "real" world. But paradise can be so much more than that.

Paradise is a lifestyle you create. If you have the courage to pursue your passion, take risks, think differently, and break free, you can live your paradise every day of your life. You can make money, have fun, help others to your heart's content, here, now, and for as long as you wish. And wouldn't that be nice?

And that is what the Paradise Project is all about. The world is in need of change. It is your own commitment to create the life you have envisioned--not just for yourself, but for the rest of the world that sparks that change.

Every passionpreneur who discovers their personality, capitalizes on their history, incorporates their experiences, harnesses their talents, optimizes their strengths, complements their weaknesses, honors their life's purpose, and moves towards the conquest of their own fears, becomes part of that commitment to change. I call this commitment, and the resulting journey "The Paradise Project." And it all starts as a personal journey. For, as David Reed so eloquently phrased it, it is through being masters of their individual "whole and spectacular selves", that the world will heal, change and become the personal paradise it was meant to be.

Let the healing begin.
