About The Course

Goodridge, has an eye-opening, mind-bending, belief-raising, trope-trouncing, stereotype-smashing, myth-mangling, bias-busting, possibility-packing, excitement-inducing course just for you!
Testimonials
"Reality in the making!"
Chief Warrant Officer Raymond was a recent client who had an idea for a unique guide based on his own experience finding employment after two military deployments. The book is titled Rucksack to Briefcase. This email was sent within 24 hours of us launching and announcing the site (even before the book was written):
"Walt, Received my first sale in less than 24 hours! That's exciting! Can you believe it? My first e-book sale wow reality in the making."
"Three books already! Thanks to you!"
“I've published 3 books already thanks to you and your workshop which was a well aimed kick in my lazy patookus. I think I've 2 more books of poems in me, and possibly another short-story collection! God bless you Walt and more power!”

Walt F.J. Goodridge
Your instructor, Walt F.J. Goodridge, is the author of
over two dozen books including:
• Turn Your Passion into Profit (first
published in 1999),
• The Tao of Wow,
• Living True to Your Self
• How to Become a Nomadpreneur
as well as books on health, travel, World War II history, politics and more
His self-published books have accomplished these milestones and more:
• used as texts in college courses in the United States
• featured in history books in Europe
• earned him the 2021 Governor's Humanities Award for Preservation of Culture by the CNMI government (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands)
• allowed him to be a full-time passionpreneur, part-time nomadpreneur, and now pandemicpreneur earning "location-free" income while living on a tropical island in the Pacific.
Walt has and will continue to refuse offfers from major publishers--prefering instead to let his "little flights of fancy" (as one publisher referred to his books) sustain him in the manner to which he has grown accustomed: that of freedom and control!
If YOU believe that self-published books are somehow less valuable, less prestigious, less lucrative or less powerful in any way--or that the process is more difficult, more expensive or more prohibitive--then your instructor, Walt Goodridge, has an eye-opening, mind-bending, belief-raising, trope-trouncing, stereotype-smashing, bias-busting, possibility-packing, excitement-inducing course just for you!

Walt's Pandemic message:
In my latest publication, The Pandemicpreneur Report: How to Make Money in this New Global Paradigm...Without Ever Leaving Your Home...*
I share some strategies for generating location-free, pandemic-proof income. Becoming an infopreneur or content creator through the written word is one of the most practical ways to start generating those streams of income. The knowledge and skill set you'll develop as a result of this course will be well worth the investment--provided you take the information and apply it!
