In case you hadn’t noticed by now, I’m a big proponent of merging what you’re passionate about with what you do to make a living. And, I’ve noticed that I’m not the only one who believes this. There are experts like Turbo-Charge Your Marketing’s first speaker, Lori Palm, who make a living helping people turn their passion into gold.

Also, there is Janet Bray Attwood, creator of The Passion Test, and Melanie Hoffner who walked me through the first part The Passion Test in an interview I posted on this blog earlier.

A friend of mine, Jeff Howard, that I met through social networking, also coaches people to connect passion, purpose and intention, thus creating a “rock star” presence on the Internet.

I bring this all up for a few of reasons:

1. Today is International Passion Day, a perfect day to talk about following your passion.
2. It is one of my favorite topics and, I believe, with what’s going on with Wall Street and the government, a topic that is very important to talk about and understand.
3. Jeff is launching a very powerful program that is totally in alignment with what I teach as part of the Turbo-Charge Your Marketing program.

You see, Jeff has partnered with Jerry Hart to create an 8-week webinar event called Create Your Social Media Marketing Explosion!.

You can find out more and register here.

Why do I recommend this program? For a couple of reasons:

• First, everywhere you turn, you’re probably hearing about Web 2.0 this and Social Media that … and you may even wonder what it all means. Twitter, Facebook, blogging … it all starts to sound like a science experiment and you may be missing a key ingredient. In fact, this is such an important topic to understand, I’ll be covering it in the third series of teleseminars scheduled for the Spring.

• Second, Jerry is the social media mentor to Fortune 500 companies like Boeing, Sony and Toshiba… His company typically charges five- to six-figure fees to set up programs like this. This information just hasn’t been available to small businesses like yours and mine. Until now.

Jeff and Jerry have created with Create Your Social Media Marketing Explosion! a system that combines the most powerful tools for traffic generation, social media, blogging and really “connect the dots” to put all those missing pieces together for you…and WITH YOU…

…and we’ll be blending all that with my systematized approach to connecting with your true passion and purpose while you ATTRACT your ideal audience to you using a cutting-edge intentional “attraction” system.

I’m trying to fit this into my tight schedule, and I recommend that you do the same!
