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
