Review

[From the Library Journal]...Libraries might find their readers better served by Walt Goodridge's Turn Your Passion into Profit , which is noteworthy for its more complete coverage and practical, down-to-earth tone and style.- --The Library Journal, Susan C. Awe, Univ. of New Mexico Lib., Albuquerque

"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 finally living my dream. I am very proud of me and you should be too!" ----Hallema, author, Mass Deception

"I have read many "self-help" books but yours is actually instructional and answers questions. It addresses how I feel and what I am thinking...Like you said in your book, it is scary. However, I am doing what you said and am starting to feel so much better....I think just realizing that I don't have to stay in one of those 9-to-5 jobs working for someone else gives me so much courage to get out there and start doing what I want! Thank you so much for the book and the inspiration. I truly appreciate it." ----Tammy van der Leest

From the Publisher

Published since 1999, and updated annually, this groundbreaking book is the standard against which all others are judged. Walt's book coined the term and ushered in the new millennium's era of the passionpreneur. Others followed, offering their own spin on the phenomenon. But none have matched Goodridge's timeless, practical yet spiritual take on finding one's purpose, harnessing one's passion, creating a product and selling it for profit!

WORTH EVERY CENT!

ByA customeron August 12, 2001

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In the last 20 years, I have read a few hundred self-help and start-your-own-business books. Usually I read a book, get maybe 1 or 2 helpful ideas and then move on to the next. THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT because it combines so many of the concepts from other books into one volume. It combines ideas and exercises for discovering your passion with examples of people who have done it and moves into marketing, selling, and even filling out IRS forms! The section on making money on internet alone is worth the price of the book. The writing style is simple, clear, concise and the book is well organized. As an African-American, I really appreciated the diversity in the examples of folks who started their own unusual businesses. The rhyming poetry sprinkled throughout the book was a treat and really drove the concepts home. I am recommending it to all my friends.

Usable, uplifting - no matter what your passion is

ByAnna Yarnraiseron April 14, 2006

Format: Paperback

The chart on page 126 is worth the price of the book alone.

Combining your role as a "Creator", "Savior", "Guru" or "Guide" - according to the light personality profile in the book - it gives you an excellent idea trigger sheet that helps you create moneymaking products and services from your passion.

Combine your skills/gifts with products/services with values/benefits for "your chosen people" (your target group) and you'll have brainstormed a dozen of doable ideas in just 15 minutes.

The journaling exersices helps you find your passion, your skills - and "your chosen people".

Use this book, really use it, combined with the plotting and planning tools in Barbara Sher's "Wishcraft", to make a difference in your life... and perhaps in the world.

Everything you need to know!

ByM. A.on April 5, 2006

Format: Paperback

I loved this book because it takes you through the process of having an idea and bringing it to life in tangible form. The author writes in simple, plain english. He writes as though you are a friend that he's talking to. That made it easy for me understand.

I particuarly appreciate chapters 8-10 which provide the nitty gritty details that one needs to know in order to start a business but it's provided in a very engaging and entertaining way. It's not boring or dry. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get throught it!

This book is helping me tremendously!

ByJoAnn Youngblood Kingon January 26, 2005

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I absolutely recommend this book for everyone who is frustrated with working 9 to 5 and is ready to make money doing what they love!! I use this book on a daily basis! It's highly motivating and inspiring! This book is for anyone who has a gut feeling that something better exists than a 'job'. The author really 'walks the talk' and offers a great deal of information in this book. Even if you're not sure what your passion is, you must read this book!!

A constant source of information for my business!

ByK. Etienneon January 31, 2005

Format: Paperback

I've owned this book for some time now, but I still find myself constantly referring to it whenever I need insight on business related matters. The information included in the book is not only relevant to the small business owner, but it's practical and logical - making my life as an entrepreneur just a bit more manageable! No small business owner should be without a copy.

Make the info work for you!

ByMinister 8-Ballon December 24, 2007

Format: Paperback

I always preface my reviews of these type of books this way:

Treat these books like a Chinese Buffet: Take what you need and leave the rest for the next man.

After reading Mr. Goodridge's book and listening to him on an Internet interview, I've found very valuable information. In fact, I've made this book the main textbook in an upcoming entrepreneurial course I've designed. Although there is information that is relevant to residents of New York state, anyone in the US can use this book to take their "passion" and convert it into profit.

What was helpful to me was his thing about "reality reconstruction" and how when one chooses to pursue the entrepreneurial path, everything that does not serve the "endgame" must be removed. I think that is a very critical aspect of pursuing the entrepreneurial path. How strong are we to stay focused in the face of those who will be nay sayers and others that oppose our path to entrepreneurial success?

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to achieve independence in doing what they love to do.......

The Original And Still the Best and Most Unique

BySamaraNYon August 16, 2005

Format: Paperback

I'm a big fan of Walt and his series of books. So

it's interesting to see the plethora of similar books

with pretty much the same title hitting the market

every year. Don't be fooled by the imitations. This

is still the most unique of all. No one has created

quite the same mix of spiritual principles and specific

steps to get you thinking the same way. As a client

of Walt's I can attest that he's got something unique

to offer more so than simply case studies. Get this

one and stick to it.

So much more than a business plan

ByJim Meckon August 27, 2012

Format: Paperback

I thought this book was going to be another "practical" guide to setting up a business - just instructions for the non-business person in regards to getting started, organizing an office, raising capital, etc. Wow! It is so much more than any book like that could ever hope to be. Mr. Goodridge surprised me with a look into the true foundations of profiting from your passion. So many of us hear negative noise about pursuing "non-traditional" careers. If you are able to open your mind and consider Walt's philosophy, it just makes sense. I discovered a new outlook on spirituality that I never really thought about and while there is no religious association in the ideas presented here, instead of conflicting with beliefs I hold, it actually confirms them in a way I did not expect. This book gets to the heart of finding your passion, allowing yourself to pursue it, and how to best turn it into profit. It is so well writting and easy to understand, yet packed with so much information and guidance, it will change your outlook and your life.
