Attract the Abundance You Deserve

with Peggy McColl

  

         Living a life with heightened awareness and a belief that we have the power to create our lives can some times leave us with a feeling of frustration and bewilderment as we continue to struggle to achieve the life we know we deserve. The recent popularity of the book The Secret, has served to get us all thinking about the Law of Attraction and helping to turn our attention to the Power of Creation. However, for many of us, we are still working hard to understand what it is that is holding us back when it comes to manifesting. Why are we still lacking in areas of finance, opportunity and love?

         During a recent visit to Las Vegas where I was attending the Hay House I Can Do it! Conference I spent some time chatting to Peggy McColl, a New York Times best-selling author, whose area of expertise is goal achievement, about these very issues.

         Peggy is the founder of Dynamic Destinies Inc., an organisation that mentors and trains thousands of people in strategies and goal setting techniques. She is the  author of five books to date. Your Destiny Switch: Master your Key Emotions and Attract the life of your dreams!; On Being…The Creator of Your Destiny; The 8 Proven Secrets to Smart Success; On Being a Dog with a Bone and 21 Distinctions of Wealth: Attract the Abundance You Deserve which was just released in May of this year.    

IS: As a life coach your work seems to focus on helping people to achieve their highest potential. From what I see of your own career and its successes, you have been able to do this in your own life. So please tell us a little about how you came to be where you are right now.

PM: Have you read Your Destiny Switch? Firstly, when you talk about a person’s highest potential, it’s important to remember that some people are quite happy living simply. My husband, for example, is retired and likes to play poker. A life he is quite happy with. 

IS: So is he in Vegas with you? 

PM: No, it’s safer to leave him at home. (Laughing) In answer to you question though, it’s daily disciplines. What can I do today to learn more, grow and share more? We are all  essentially habitual beings, so I work with my Power Life script and I follow the affirmations. I don’t whip myself up over things and I bless the experience.

IS: What would you say are the three most important things for people to know when trying to achieve their highest potential.

PM: 1. You don’t have to know how. Set your goal, keep focussed on it but don’t worry about how it will come about. Let that just happen.

In her workshop, Peggy tells a story about attending a workshop with Anthony Robbins and signing up to attend the Masters weekend in Hawaii. It was to cost $12,000 and she had no idea where this money was going to come from, but she really wanted to go. At the same time she was in the midst of buying a house, she had no money for either. After attending the initial workshop, Peggy had the inspiration to register the domain name AnthonyRobbins.com and create a website. While working and selling high-speed internet lines, Peggy was called to a company who wanted one of these. When she asked them what they intended to do with the internet, they said they looked after Anthony Robbins and were going to set up a website for him. Peggy said, “Oh really.” She then showed them the website she had already created. Well, as you can imagine, they were flabbergasted, and suffice to say after some negotiation she got to attend her weekend free of charge. Now there’s a “how” you would never have been able to figure out.

PM: 2. Believe in yourself, more than anything or anyone.

PM: 3. Invest in yourself. Feed and nurture yourself.

IS: Can you offer some simple yet important advice on overcoming the fear and self-doubt which limits us all?

PM: Fear is a natural emotion. Don’t expect it to go away. Feel the fear and what it is saying to you. I ask myself two questions to help me work through it.

1. What is it I’d like to experience? and

2. What is it going to feel like?

IS: A lot of your mentoring work involves authors, so if there was a self-published author sitting at home wandering what is the first step I need to take to get this book out there, what would you say to them?

PM: I love working with authors the most. It is what I’m most passionate about. Most authors are making a positive impact. I’d tell them to learn to market their book. Writing the book is only about 5% of the work. Seek out someone who has done it and learn from there.

IS: You have just released your fifth book, 21 Distinctions of Wealth. Currently, I am working through the program and I am now on the second distinction which is extremely appropriate for my life right now. While I usually find  affirmations difficult to work with, your program seems to make it simple. It is certainly helping the mind to stay focussed in the positive, which is the key. How has the   response been so far?

PM: 21 Distinctions of Wealth was inspired by Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World. The ten scrolls for success contained in this book made a big impact on me in 1986. Over the years working with these ten scrolls grew into twenty one distinctions, which I made available for people on my website. One day I realised ten thousand people had downloaded those twenty one distinctions, so we thought there must be a book in that. The response has been great. So many people are telling me things similar to what you just said about the affirmation program being made so simple. Three times a day with the checklist in the back as well.

IS: What do you think are the three distinctions that people most relate to?

PM: Certainly, the 2^nd Distinction first: the willingness to give it all up leads to having it all.  It would be the most common.

Then the 8^th: You don’t have to know how you’ll get what you want – you just have to decide what you want.

And lastly, Distinction number 11: Dwelling in negative emotions slows the flow of abundance.

IS: In regards to the 8^th Distinction, I often struggle with understanding the difference between when I am  controlling and when I need to take action.

PM: It’s the level of detachment. If you’re too attached to the outcome, then most likely that’s when we are controlling. Remember to detach and allow the how to unfold as it needs to.  

IS: What’s next for Peggy McColl? Do you think we might one day see you in Australia?

PM: Certainly, I’ve just been invited haven’t I? I’m working on a new book called The Won Thing. It’s about a girl searching for the one thing that would make her life successful. She thought she found it, only to realise it was something else. It’s my journey really. I’m not telling what The Won Thing is though, you’ll need to read the book.

Investing this time with Peggy, not only for the interview but also her workshop at the conference resulted in a new found faith and understanding about how I manifest. I certainly came away with some new tools and ideas to change the unproductive habits I have. Coming back to Australia I am continuing to work with some of Peggy’s books, CDs and teleseminars. Should you be at a time in your life when you are seeking to achieve some of those ideas and projects you’ve been holding onto, or you wish to bring about change, then I highly recommend investing in yourself with Peggy McColl.
