In the quest for this freedom, we find there are barriers, borders and brainwashing that often stand in the way as challenges to our success..

Some of these challenges are within our personal power to overcome simply by choosing to adopt a new belief system and by exercising the courage and discipline to take the actions necessary and to stick to them.

Others of these challenges represent entrenched paradigms and customs that society as a whole will need to address, but are restrictions on freedom nonetheless.

In essence, I believe that as individuals, we need to exercise:

• 1. The freedom to live a life of purpose.

• 2. The freedom to profit and prosper.

• 3. The freedom to love honestly.

• 4. The freedom to escape.

• 5. The freedom to age less.

• Freedom to live a life of purpose

is the freedom to find and fulfill your life's purpose....

• Freedom to profit and prosper

is the freedom to earn money doing what you love on your own terms--to turn your passion into profit....

"Everyone has a passion. Every passion has value. You can make money, survive and prosper doing what you love!"

In other words, you can achieve the freedom to make a profit! That's the philosophy behind my turn your passion into profit concept. The uniqueness of the value you create for the world is assured by the following understanding I call "Value no one can match:"

"If you create and market a product or service through a business that is in alignment with your personality, capitalizes on your history, incorporates your experiences, harnesses your talents, optimizes your strengths, complements your weaknesses, honors your life's purpose, and moves you towards the conquest of your own fears, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that anyone in this or any other universe can offer the same value that you do!"-- Walt Goodridge

• Freedom to love honestly

is the freedom to love without fear of judgement or recrimination....

If you have the courage to present yourself thusly and honestly from day one, people will respect your honesty, and you will find connections that are more in alignment with who you are, and you will not live a life based on deception, disappointment or desperation.

• Freedom to escape

is the freedom to travel without fear and restrictions

"How would you like the freedom to spend time with family, travel the world, escape to a tropical island or simply see movies in the middle of the day? The freedom to escape means different things to different people, but it IS achievable if you plan and execute things the right way!"

I refer to myself as a "nomadpreneur." It's a word I created to describe the lifestyle I live based on a strategy for creating income, prosperity, mobility and FREEDOM....NOW! Leaving the US to see the world while generating income that doesn't require my physical presence in any one location is just how I personally choose to enjoy my freedom. YOU can sit at home all day and watch television. It's your choice. The point is that with "effortless" income based on your purpose and passion, you have the freedom to do as you please, go where you want to go, live where you want to live....to escape! Escape is a metaphor for that physical freedom. I never liked working for someone else. So, I started a sideline business and found the courage to escape from my nine-to-five. I never liked cold weather. So, I escaped from America to live on a tropical island in the Pacific. I also like to travel and meet new people, so I've also turned that nomadic passion into profit through tourism-based businesses around the world that I can run from my laptop. I have internet-based businesses that create income for me wherever I am in the world.

• Freedom to age less

is the freedom to control your health, age less and live free from the fear of disease....
People who knew me in college are surprised that I look YOUNGER now than I did when I they knew me! That's no accident or gift of having good genes. People with whom I share what I know, and who make some simple changes in their daily routines are surprised to hear their friends tell them "Wow, you look younger!" This is not coincidence. I do it by being vegan, eating only real food and by following a few strategies.

"It's really simple. Once you know the truth about your body, about health, about wellness and about disease, you reclaim your power, break free from the constant worry about sickness and health care costs and create some new options for how to live your life! You can not only avoid, prevent and cure illness, but reverse and rejuvenate and actually feel like you're getting younger!"

The actual strategies are explained in step-by-step detail in my books, Turn Your Passion into Profit and the brand new Living True To Your Self! and How to Reverse Aging. On this site, you'll learn a bit more about me, as well as the belief system, philosophy and lifestyle from me and others who share the same mindset. You can also visit the PassionProfit store for my books, audio and more to help you put it all into action. (The "Loving Honestly" book is coming soon!)

Ask most people why they are struggling to do all the things they do, and they'll tell you they wish to be financially free. At the root of this is the desire not to have to work for someone else to survive. What they really want is to be able to make money doing something they enjoy--something that's more in alignment with their purpose and passions.That's what the Turn Your Passion into Profit Philosophy and Formula are all about.

When I talk about freedom, I'm not talking about money. There are many entrepreneurs and many employees who earn much more income than I do who feel trapped in aspects of their lives they wish to change. When I talk about my personal definition of freedom, yes, I'm talking about the freedom from working a nine-to-five job, and the freedom to live in a location that suits my tastes, but what I'm primarily talking about is freedom from fear. What traps many people in their lives is the fear that comes from their belief system. There's a wise saying that goes: "the only way to control someone is to lie to them." In other words, you can't be controlled by the truth. A person's belief in falsehoods, therefore, is what traps an individual. Therefore, the more you know the truth about certain, specific things, the freer you become. That's what the Living True to Your Self Belief System is all about....

"Freedom is not something you need to purchase, petition or pursue. It's something you already own."--Walt

How to Achieve Freedom

---

Let me explain by giving you an example. First, however, let me say that the reason you'll always hear references to health and diet in my books and discussions about turning passion into profit, or living true to your self, is because those references are really about taking control of your body--your physical manifestation here on this planet--by choosing a different belief system that empowers and frees you rather than one that controls you by lying to you and causing you to live in fear. And as a trillion dollar industry, health care is obviously a very important aspect of life and an area about which people often feel the most powerless and fearful.

So, to explain how this works, let me ask you a question. How much money would you need to earn each month, and how much would you need to have stashed away in a savings "nest egg" account in order to feel "free?" Have an answer? Good. Now, here's the next question: How much money would you need if you didn't have to worry about paying medical bills? It would be less than originally stated, wouldn't it? Like many people, your beliefs about, and thus your fear of falling ill determines what you believe is required for you to be free.

Let's suppose that instead of what you currently believe about your body, and about health and sickness, that you absolutely knew and were convinced of a different simple truth, say, for example that cancer is preventable and curable, and that keeping the body alkaline (instead of acidic) prevents cancer cells from developing in the body. Imagine that you were a person whose family members all got cancer, and you worried continuously about getting it yourself. Can you imagine how much freer you would feel (and then, by extension, how much freer you would act) once you held a different belief about cancer? That's what I'm talking about. Think about it. Considering how expensive medical care can be, especially in the U.S., no practical amount of money would free you from the debilitating effects (financial as well as physical) of buying into a belief system that sells you the falsehood that your health is a random effect of luck and chance, and/or that the only way to cure your afflictions is with chemicals, radiation or by cutting off the afflicted appendage. So, you see, that's how one belief can have a tremendous effect on how free we think we are, or how easy we think it is to achieve that freedom in financial terms.

Again, that's just one example. However, people are trapped by their beliefs about many things including beliefs about their roles, their nationality, their gender, about people from other nations, religion, spirituality, life and so on. Make no mistake about this: It's not a lack of money that keeps people trapped. And make no mistake about this: it's not the acquisition of money that makes people free.

I always tell people that I made the decision to walk away from corporate employment on a Sunday, and then actually quit my job the following Tuesday. My financial position had not changed by a single penny in those two days. In fact, I had no savings, I was in debt, and was behind in my rent. What changed was my belief system about what I believed was possible for me, and what action I believed was required in order for me to be happy.

So, my point is this: You'd be surprised just what it takes to be truly "free." You can't achieve freedom unless you change the beliefs that are keeping you trapped. You might be surprised just how little money is actually required to live free and travel once you adopt a new set of beliefs (and prove them to yourself) about you, about the world, and about the universe you live in. For there's more to freedom than money.
