The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now How often have you asked yourself this question: “What is my life’s purpose?” If you’re like almost all people, you’ve asked yourself this question over and over and you still haven’t found your answer.  In this episode I dig deeper and take a look at your life’s purpose from a much higher perspective. For most people, they have never thought in this way. They’ve never expanded the level from which they see and experience their lives. In this episode I talk about: [5:38] “Where you’re living from” [9:59] Looking at your life in a bigger context [10:45] Why your purpose is internal and not external [13:28] Why your external purpose is not your real purpose [24:54] And, how working from your highest potential will help you connect with your real purpose Also, I talk about meditation and why this is so important. The easiest way to work from higher purpose is to quiet your mind and connect at the deepest levels of who you are. Transformational Takeaway: Your TRUE purpose is alignment Mentioned Resources: James Wedmore’s Niche Training https://www.jimfortin.com/nichetraining Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now Are you on the “money roller coaster?” Money goes up, money goes down and it’s a never-ending cycle, if so, this episode pertains to you. In this Q&A episode I dig into Stacy’s question about why her finances are like a roller coaster and I address why this is her “theme song.” I used to be on that same roller coaster, so I know it well. However, I got off that crazy ride years ago. It’s exhausting, as you know. In this episode I talk about: [3:33] Why the money roller coaster is simply a reflection of your identity [4:29] Your money “thermostat” and how it controls your income [12:11] Why people never see dramatic shifts in income [21:08] Why you have to change your money consciousness And, as you know, a lot more. Oh yea, one huge thing I talk about is the “cause and effect” of money. Money is the effect of a cause, and 99% of people focus on having the effect and place no attention on the cause…which repels money. If you want off the roller coaster then make sure you listen to this episode. Transformational Takeaway: If you don’t fist have money in your mind, you’ll never have it in your environment. You MUST be rich in your mind before you can have it in your life.

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever asked yourself why you’re on this planet? I don’t mean “what is your purpose while you’re on the planet, but the bigger question is…why on this planet? I attempt in this episode to get you to start thinking from a much higher perspective about the nature of your existence here on Earth. Most people search for a lifetime looking for their “purpose,” and they spend their life like a dog chasing his tail looking for this answer. When people think about their purpose, they are mostly thinking about how that gives their life meaning relative to others, but have you ever thought about the bigger cosmic purpose of you coming to this planet? In this episode I talk about: [4:12] How most people see life only in the context of time on the planet [5:39] How do you grow and evolve beyond your perceived time here? [7:09] How we are all born into a world that traps us in a small reality [11:53] Where is your predominant focus on your life right now? [17:27] And, the two biggest reasons you are on this planet. The point of this whole episode is this. Are you living fully into the duality of self and have you evolved into someone who lives from the higher value, meaning and purpose of your cosmic self or have you lived for the sustenance and convenience of your 3D ego? Transformational Takeaway: Do you live to serve and make the world a better place and do you live to serve and EVOLVE your higher self as much as you can?

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever held on to something too long? A relationship, job, or something you were working on that you ”hoped would work out?” If so, you’re not alone. In this episode I obviously talk about the difference between being attached to an outcome and committed to an outcome. Many times people hang on too long to something that they don’t have the skills, abilities, passions or talents to see to fruition, especially related to income-producing opportunities. In this episode I talk about: [5:55] Why hoping and wishing is not a commitment, it’s an attachment [7:01] Why being strategic in commitments is vital to the success [8:45] The reason many people won’t start commitments [9:37] How attachment often creates disappointment and repeated failure [11:04] Why attaching to a perfect outcome stops most people And, much more. As you may have heard me say before, commitment is the bridge between where you are and where you want to be, it’s vital to your success. And, attachment is literally that, attaching to an outcome, which 99% of the time you can’t control which most times leads to disappointment. Transformational Takeaway: Be strategic in your commitments and do not attach to outcomes. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most people into personal development, you’ve probably heard someone along the way say, “You get paid according to the value you create in the world.” I heard that many years ago and used to believe that if I wanted to become rich I needed to create more value in the world. You know, the old Zig Ziglar quote, “Help enough people get what they want and they’ll help you get what you want.” Over the years I’ve discovered that is only half of the equation. In this episode I talk about: [2:42] Why many people who create a lot of value in the world are broke [4:40] The reason the “social worker” mentality does not create business wealth [6:54] Why you have to couple prosperity consciousness with the value you create [12:25] Why contribution is more important than achievement [15:19] And, specifically, how you must first value the value you create If you don’t value your own value, then it’s going to be hard to attract prosperity because you don’t value the very thing which is supposed to attract money to you. Value what you do and the world will respond to that value. Transformational Takeaway: You have to value what you do. If you don’t value your own offering, no one else will.

Start Your Transformation Now How often have you felt like you’re not good enough or that people are going to reject or judge you? Welcome to the two biggest fears that most people have: abandonment and inadequacy. People are going to reject you, and you’re not good enough. Both of these are huge energy suckers for most people and they relegate most people to the sidelines of life. The only way you can not be good enough is when you compare yourself to others and most people compare the worst of themselves to the best in others. A completely skewed and unfair comparison. In this episode I discuss: [1:34] Why comparison is useless [3:04] Why comparisons lead to a lifetime of unhappiness [9:44] Accepting there is always someone ahead of you and someone behind you [22:33] When will you be good enough? [23:57] How good do you have to be? [25:03] Who are you comparing yourself to? And much more. If you’re comparing yourself to others, you’re wasting your life. Transformational Takeaway: No two people have the same karma so the comparison is a waste of your time and life. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now I wonder if you’ve noticed how much of your peace you give up and give away? Seemingly not a big deal but what you’re really giving up is your peace-of-mind, which is something you’ve been chasing most of your life. Pretty much everything you want in life you want it because you think it’s going to bring you peace-of-mind. The best example is money. Most likely you don’t want it just to want it, you want it because it’s going to “give” you something: security, social status, freedom and such. In this episode I discuss: [3:29] Why the things that you want most steal most of your peace-of-mind. [3:49] How chasing peace is living from the outside in, backwards. [6:55] What steals your internal peace [20:22] Why peace-of-mind is so vital to your performance and well being. And much more. When you quiet your mind you become the highest version of your BEing. A quiet mind is your unlimited potential expressing itself. Though this is a simple episode, the message is one of the most powerful ones you’ll ever hear. Transformational Takeaway: You can’t do anything well without peace-of-mind. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now This is not at all an uncommon question. Actually, I’m quite surprised at the number of relationships that fall into this category. One person wants to be happy, and the other grows as fast as a tortoise. I see it all the time, one person is growing, and the other is not. What usually happens is that one will stop growing and fall back into old patterns so as not to disturb the relationship, that’s most revalent, or both will decide to grow.  What I know is that the more misaligned the identities become the wider the gap in connection and relationship. In this episode I talk about: [1:43] A simple way to know if a person if good for you or not [5:16] Working from the inside out in relationships [32:23] Why you have no power if you’re afraid to leave the relationship [33:19] Why you must be 100% responsible for your own happiness [34:02] How you’re not responsible for your partner’s feelings As well, if you’ve been listening to my podcast for a while, you know I go a lot deeper than what is mentioned here. Transformational Takeaway: You can be happy anywhere when you’re 100% responsible for yourself. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?
