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 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!
Walt's Life Rhymes
Walt is also the creator of an entirely new genre of motivation. His unique "Life Rhymes" are designed to help you think in ways that support your highest calling and the pursuit of your passion. Every Friday Walt has composed a brand new life rhyme EVERY SINGLE WEEK without fail for an unprecedented 468 week stretch! (That's 9 years!) This may just be one of the longest-running ezines on the planet!
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.

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
"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
