Pam Grout I am ready to launch. I am glad to be here. Thanks for having me.

Pam Grout Everybody’s heard of Think And Grow Rich like you said and what I say in the book is that the best way to get rich, and I also talk about different kinds of capital than financial capital. Because there’s a lot of different ways to feel abundant and to be abundant. I like to share how the power of gratitude can bring you abundance. Everybody’s heard of Think and Grow Rich. It’s a catchy title.

Pam Grout What I say in the book is you can think all you want but the best way to get rich is to start thanking it and getting on this frequency of joy and gratitude. When you get on that frequency then, your life just starts working in magical ways. It’s a good way to get in the now. It’s a good way to start seeing all the beauty, the wonder, and all that surrounds us at all times that we so often forget because we’re so busy following the seven steps to this or the seven steps to that. Obviously, it is a take off on Napoleon Hill‘s book. I call it the subtitles of 30-Day Experiment in Shameless Gratitude and Unabashed Joy. In it, I encourage people to be grateful for everything because there is so much to be grateful for. When we’re so focused on all the things that aren’t going right, we forget how much there is to celebrate in our lives.

Pam Grout Yes. That’s true. You’ve accomplished all those goals you mentioned early. You got this beautiful partner. You got this fantastic job and all these different things now. Probably, a lot of it had to do with the fact that you did get on that gratitude frequency because when you get on that frequency, everything in your life changes. When you get on that gratitude frequency and access the power of gratitude, all those things you were trying to get before, they come to you. There’s this abundant and intelligent universe out there that is always trying to interact with us, always trying to bless us with the power of gratitude. But because we’re on this other frequency, the frequency of “Oh, something’s wrong. Life sucks, and then you die.” When you’re on those kinds of frequencies, you miss this universe’s intelligence. The universe can’t get through to you. Another aspect of the power of gratitude is the Divine Buzz. When you’re in this Divine Buzz, it sounds like you were when you were on that rampage of gratitude. It rewrites and changes everything. It rewrites your neural chemistry. It makes you feel differently and anything you’ve ever wanted, manifestation or whatever, it starts coming to you in really easy ways. You will be led and guided. It’s just this remarkable magical thing that can happen. All of us can experience magical things once we start looking for all the things that are going right instead of all the things that are going wrong.

Pam Grout Yeah. I divided up into five different kinds of capital. Everybody thinks abundance or wealth is Financial Capital but again, as Luis was saying, a lot of times, you can have that and you may not even be that happy. The five kinds of capital that I encourage people to amass in this book starts with Spiritual capital. With the power of gratitude, it’s easy to access these. That’s the unseen connection that we have to all the world and that we’re all one. That’s where real joy and happiness comes from. Creative Capital, that’s where all financial capital comes from. Everything starts as an idea. When we use our imagination, it comes up with Creative Capital. Every screenplay that has been written started as Creative Capital. Every book that’s been written is creative capital. Every business started with Creative Capital. That’s how it get started. Now that’s the power of gratitude. Next is Social Capital, that’s where we make our connections with other people, and that’s so important. That sense of belonging and doing something bigger than yourself. It’s easy to get into this, “Me, me, me, me” thing. What brings us the most joy and happiness is when we are serving the planet.

Pam Grout When we are falling, what I call your Beeps, those things that are calling out to you and wanting you to follow. Next aspect of the power of gratitude is Adventure Capital. You just look at life as an adventure because there are so many people out there who always look at the bottom line or doing this but there are so many great adventures to take. The things that I like and the things I want to do is have exciting adventures. I do a lot of traveling. I’m a travel writer as well, so I’m always trying to collect experiences more than anything else. Adventures are important, and they don’t even have to be like foreign traveling. It can be an adventure of walking down your street and opening your eyes and looking at all that’s there because we miss most of everything. The final type of capital that you access with the power of gratitude is what I call Alchemic Capital, and that’s like alchemy. It’s the ability to change things, and we all have the potential to make changes in our lives. That’s the fifth capital that I talked about in the book. I have like an earnings report sheet, and I had people, “Where do you think you rated in this five kinds of capital when you began?” And then I have them reassess after the 30 days are over, and I have them do this program. This all plays into the power of gratitude. I’ve got 27, what I call party games, in there because again, I think people take things too seriously so who wants to do exercise. I’ve got 27 party games, but the only one required in the book is this 30-Day thing that I have, and it’s my A.A. 2.0 Program.

Pam Grout I don’t know if many of your listeners have heard me speak me before but it’s something I talk about a lot, and I can certainly share that with your listeners if you think they might be interested.

Pam Grout Exactly. So yeah, like I said, there’s a little sheet, and you rate yourself on a 1 to 10 on each of those kinds of capital. And see how the power of gratitude plays into all this. The other thing that I think is so important about the power of gratitude is the idea that you are serving something bigger than yourself. A lot of people do think of financial capital when there’s just so much more. When you have these other kinds of capital, the financial capital is almost like a side effect. It’s a side effect of having this other forms of capital in place.

Pam Grout Exactly. That falls into the social capital, but that’s so terribly important when it comes to the power of gratitude.

Pam Grout Yeah. In fact, this 30-Day experiment, that’s what I have people do this program for 30 days, and it is so simple to practice the power of gratitude. The reason I call it A.A .2.0, you’ve heard of the first AA. It’s a 12-Step program. Well, I’m all about smooth and easy, so this is a simple program that has two steps.

• Step 1. You get up every morning and the first thing you do before you pull off your covers, brush your teeth, or before anything, you just set the intention.

You say “Something amazingly awesome is going to happen to me today.” You practice the power of gratitude. That’s where I got the AA. The “Amazingly Awesome.” You get up, and you set that intention. It’s like, “You know what? This is what I’m looking for today. I’m going to have an amazingly awesome day.”

• Step 2. This action goes back to the power of gratitude. I have what I call “My possibility posse,” and these are five friends that every day, I text them five blessings from the day before.

A lot of people create gratitude list to practice the power of gratitude. But the thing that’s unique about this is every day; it has to be something different. You cannot repeat. “Oh, I love my career.” “I’m going to get to travel the world.” “I love my dog.” That kind of thing, but no. This has to be something different. So every day, I’m like “Luis and Clark, man, I’m out there. I am scouting for those blessings” You do find. You call into your life whatever you put your attention on.

Pam Grout So if you put your attention upon looking for blessings and miracles, what do you think you’re going to see? Blessings and miracles. That’s the little program, and it’s super simple, but it just changes your focus in how you’re looking at life, and it changes everything. You see this happen with the power of gratitude.

Pam Grout Right. Well, it is going on every single day of our lives, but we don’t see it a lot.

Pam Grout Exactly. We live in this infinite field of potentiality. I call it “Field of Infinite Potentiality” in my other book, E-Squared, the one which became a huge international best-seller. We live in The Field of Infinite Potentiality, but all we see is the waves that we’ve collapsed. Here’s unlimited, that means endless. We collapse like this finite little thing, and we think this is the world. All of us have our little picture, our little reality, our little hologram of what we see out there when there’s so much more possible.

Pam Grout I think the biggest thing that I like people doing it when you get in this frequency of joy and gratitude; you’re just open to so many more things. With the power of gratitude, there are so many more possibilities out there because they are infinite. That means there is no into it and our little pea brains have a hard time even grasping the concept of infinity, but truly, that is what’s available to us.

Pam Grout Exactly. It’s causative energy. Gratitude is causative energy. It plants seeds that grow into unlimited abundance.

Pam Grout Again, it put you on a frequency where you’re connected to all that. The truth is, we’re connected to all the abundance we could ever want, but because we’ve collapsed the wave and we’re believing “what was me” tale, we do not see it. It’s just not materially manifested in our lives. The power of gratitude brings in abundance. Once you get on that other frequency, it shows up, and it’s there. It just comes out the wazoo. It’s amazing. Like this woman that I wrote about today on my blog. She was implementing the power of gratitude. She had been doing Law of Attraction. She said she had some success but once she started just really focusing on gratitude. She was trying to find a job, and she said she just had this hit not to look for the job but to just really start focusing all of her blessings and then all of a sudden, she just gets this hit “Go walk down Web Street.” After she sent out all of her resumes, she walks down web street. She ends up walking to this jewelry store. It ends up being this woman hired her to be a marketing director. It’s like this perfect job, lots of money.

Pam Grout Because she had gotten on this power of gratitude for three days, that’s all she was doing, was think about all she was grateful for and this job just falls into her lap. This intuition “Go walk down Web Street.” That’s what happened, and that’s exactly where the job was. That’s what I mean. This interaction is there. The perfect answer to whatever is troubling you is right there once you get on that frequency, then it can speak to you.

Pam Grout The power of gratitude is about love. We are all loved so much and that we are love. Who we are is love. At any time we’re not acting out of love, we might be judging something, or we’re not grateful, we’re actually in stress. We are love wanting to give and wanting to express our gifts. So when we’re in that state, we’re happy and joyful. But anytime we’re not, we’re judging this, or that’s not going right, our body’s in stress. Just to realize how much we are all loved and how much we are loved. That’s who we are and how much this universe wants to interact with us and wants to shower us with blessings and beautiful things.

Pam Grout Thank you.
