The Passion Prophet's Prophecy
"The day is coming when the majority of people will be PASSIONPRENEURS--relying less on an employer's paycheck, and more on their interests, hobbies, and talents to enrich them financially, as well as spiritually-a day when making a living means turning your passion into profit!"
--Walt Goodridge, The Passion Prophet
author of Turn Your Passion Into Profit
"I share what I know,
so that others may grow!"

The Philosophy and the Formula
The world is ready for a new way of thinking about money, value, self-worth, how to make a living, and even our purpose on the planet.
Your PASSION is part of your life's purpose
HAPPINESS in life starts when you pursue it
EVERYONE has a passion
ALL passions have value
ANY passion can be turned into profit
Value No One Can Steal
This popular quote forms the basis of Walt's teachings. He reads it at his workshops to great response. It may be freely quoted and published with the appropriate credit.
"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 F.J. Goodridge, Author Turn Your Passion Into Profit

NEW YORK--Are you committed to success? Would you risk your reputation and credibility making a promise you might not achieve? Are you brave enough to make that promise on a blog viewed by thousands each week? That's exactly what one author is doing when, beginning January 1, 2006, he makes a public commitment to achieve a specific level of fame within 365 days to show others how it's done!
"It's basically an object lesson in commitment," says Walt F.J. Goodridge, author of 12 books and the main character of the Elements of Fame Blog. "The challenge with writing a blog on how to become famous is that you have to become famous, or the blog is worthless! Failure is not an option here." Goodridge, known as the "Passion Prophet" is a career coach who helps aspiring entrepreneurs discover the hidden value in their passions and become "passionpreneurs." Among the 12 goals he's set as necessary elements of fame are appearing on the front cover of specific national publications, being interviewed on national television, and becoming a bestselling author.
But not only is he documenting his fame-seeking activities on his blog, Goodridge intends to publish the process as a book entitled Elements of Fame, a step-by-step guide for becoming famous. Goodridge calls this blog-to-book project a "blook," hoping aspiring fame seekers will follow the entire process unfolding each week while others will purchase the paperback to use as their own "how to" manual for harnessing their unique elements of fame!
Will he succeed? Will his "blook" on how to achieve fame be credible? You can find out while seeing if your own level of commitment to stardom measures up at www.elementsoffame.com
