Carol Ferguson

My name is Carol Ferguson and I am a divorced mother of 2 wonderful children. My husband divorced me when our children were 6 and 10 years old. At the time, I worked for a large corporation and while I had a good paying job, I was like most of you and used to living off two paychecks. Now I had to live off only one paycheck.

Honestly, I was pretty scared. So, the first thing I did was take courses at night while my children slept and got my Project Management Professional (PMP) designation. I needed to make sure I had some higher education credits as a means to ensure continued employment.

Then, I needed to learn how to budget my money tightly so we could still afford the things we were used to and that were important to us. So, I took courses, read a lot and learned from my mistakes along the way. I spent a lot of money to be personally trained by T. Harv Eker, the author of the N.Y. times bestselling book “The Secrets of a Millionaire Mind”and Alex Mandossian, Online Marketing Expert, Teleseminar Expert, Virtual Book Tour Expert, Thought Leader, Speaker, and Author

And slowly, surely, I got out of debt. The children and I learned to live within our means so we could stay in our home and do special things like going away for vacation every year and attending summer camp.  Now I own my home, have a substantial retirement fund, travel and have financial freedom.

In my efforts to get through the emotional issues of my divorce, I spent a lot of time reading self-help books, getting support from friends and family and taking courses with Peak Potentials whose mission is to “Educate and Inspire People to Live in Their Higher Self based in courage, Purpose and Joy.”

I am passionate about learning and growing and supporting other divorced women. To accomplish that I have taken a number of courses from Coachville. I am also a 3rd Degree Reiki Master from the Reiki Grandmaster Academy, working towards becoming a 7th Degree Master.
