The Tao of Wow is a compendium of truths which, when applied and practiced with the appropriate discipline, is believed to guarantee extraordinary success in any endeavor from business to romance. The Tao of Wow has existed in a cloak of secrecy since its first documented appearance in 3300 B.C. Although never available in complete form, various components of the Tao of Wow have been known by a variety of names throughout history. During the Middle Ages it was known as Conquest and Coercion. In the 1700s it was resurrected as Secret Concepts of Conquest Mastery, and Recognition. In the 1800s it resurfaced as Mastering the Minds of Men. (See Introduction for more). Wow has always existed. What we today refer to as the "Wow Response" is considered to be a basic spontaneous reaction unique to all living things. It is the almost reflexive reaction to an idea, object or person that precedes one's fascination with that idea, object or person. As the text entitled The Wow Factor clearly explains, a Wow is needed prior to any action undertaken by a human being. The Wow Reaction is a basic component of survival of the fittest. It is the spark of emotion that precedes change, invention, innovation, art and even procreation. In short, Wow is what makes the world go 'round. Control the world's Wow, and you control the world! The World Foundation of Cultural And Linguistic Research in association with the Passion Profit Company is pleased to present the only authorized edition of The Tao of Wow Trilogy, which includes The Wow Factor, Tao of Wow & The Art of Wow.
Once upon a time, there was a civil engineer who hated his job, followed his passion, started a sideline business publishing his own books, made enough money to quit his job, ran away to a tropical island in the South Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day!"
A Columbia University graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering, Walt was, like many people, destined for a career in his profession of training. In fact, immediately after graduating, he accepted a job working in the Design Division of the Port Authority Engineering department on the 73rd floor of World Trade Center One. 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!
It was several years until he was able to grow his sideline business in the music industry--a personal passion--and walk away from his career to become a full-time "passionpreneur." He authored several books on the music industry, created a brand of inspiration called "Life Rhymes," and launched dozens of websites, and unique products.
As he honed his experience and expertise in website development, internet marketing, creating the life of his dreams, and living true to himself, he developed a unique "Passion Profit Philosophy and Formula" and a coaching practice to help others do the same. In 1999, he published the formula in Turn Your Passion into Profit which, with yearly updates, has consistently sold in the top 50 in home-business books on Amazon.com.
In 2006, through a friend who had visited and raved about his experience, Walt "discovered" Saipan, booked a one-way ticket, and 2 months later, escaped from New York to live his nomadpreneur dream on this pacific island paradise.
Walt writes a weekly business column for the Saipan Tribune entitled " The Saipanpreneur Project." He has written Doing Business on Saipan to further encourage entrepreneurial activity on the island, and, with former garment factory worker Chun Yu Wang, co-authored Chicken Feathers and Garlic Skin: Diary of a Chinese Garment Factory Girl on Saipan and is the founder of Destination Saipan Marketing, Inc. Walt was recognized by official CNMI Senate Resolution No. 15-54 for his invaluable contributions to Saipan, its residents and economy.
Walt currently owns and operates over 50 websites, has written a total of 16 books, over 400 articles and almost 500 motivational poems.
Walt is originally from the island of Jamaica, and, you can read about his first year and impressions of his new island home in the book Jamaican on Saipan!
