The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now Doing transformation work for many many years I’m never surprised at how many people are in bad, unhealthy and just out right abusive relationships. And, they are afraid to leave. Well, so was Penny. This is a really powerful episode, as I hope all of them are, and in this episode Penny talks about how she was in a subjugating relationship and in one with an abusive partner. And, the wake up call for her was that she didn’t even realize it was an “abusive relationship.” As we continued talking she shared why she stayed in the relationship. Actually, it’s all the same reasons as most people: The kids, financial security, the home, the stability, what her friends and family would say and mainly because of fear. Her fears were, “What am I going to do if I leave? How can I afford to live alone? How can I afford this house? And, what happens if I leave?” Again, all things that worry many people. And, all things that keep people trapped. As you’ll hear, one day she decided to leave and today she owns her dream home, which she thought she could not afford and has a thriving and very profitable business and this all happened in under six month. As well, I asked her to break down her thinking that took her from where she was to where she is today, and she shares this all with you in the episode. As you have heard me say, ‘What one person can so, so can another.” If you’re in an unhealthy relationship and you’re either afraid to leave or questioning it then you’re going to love this podcast episode. If you’re in a great relationship you’ll still love this episode. Why, because the bigger theme is about courage and triumph over life’s circumstances. And, that trump starts with our “inner resources.” Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode I talk to one of my current students, Matthew Bonadona. And, you’ll hear how he went from having it all in life and still not being happy to still having it all and bliss. This is a really great episode because so many of us have so much and we’re still not happy and that was exactly Matthew’s case. You may or not be able to relate to his exact scenario but all of us are looking for a better life, and he’ll tell you how he found that for himself. When he met his life was a “disaster.” Days upon days or anxiety and never enough are forever gone for him. He talks about how his life shifted when he started living from the “inside out” instead of the outside in. Matthew also talks about “how to become the person you want to be.” As he talks about how his life revolved around “what if thinking, stress and anxiety” and he lived in “fight or flight mode for 20 years.” I can go on forever but it’s better if you just listen to the episode and hear it all for yourself. And, what he did, you can do! Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now Money is “mental” and no matter where you are in life you can transform your circumstances with money. In this episode I’m visiting with Jake Curry. As you’ll hear, he went from right around $4,000 per month in income to $38,000 per month in just around six months. You can maybe relate to Jake’s story about growing up poor or being afraid to spend money, hoarding money and living completely from lack and circumstances in all areas of your life. I’ve helped countless 1000's of people transform their “money situations” and I picked Jake as I knew that many people would be able to relate to his story and his money transformation. Listen, take notes and realize that what I have done, Jake has done and many others have done, you can do! Fully embrace that money is a “mental game,” and when you change that everything else will change for you financially. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now OK, so I got a ton of positive feedback for the first episode I did like this a few weeks back so I decided to do another. So, in the same format and vein as the last time, here is another random thought episode…Part Deaux! Here are the five random thoughts I expand on in this episode: [5:24] Today is a good day to die [15:35] Fear is the idleness of will [22:02] You cannot do anything without peace of mind [30:43] When you’re triggered you’re judging someone [35:30] No two people have the same karma In this episode I share how each of these life philosophies shape my life and how I live by them and how they impact my well being. I share them as food for thought and give them to you as easy “takeaways.” And, when you master them and KNOW them, they will be guiding rudders that will change your life and give you peace of mind. Transformational Takeaway: Today is a good day to die.,Fear is the idleness of will.,You cannot do anything without peace of mind.,When I’m triggered, I am judging others.,No two people have the same karma.

Start Your Transformation Now These days all kinds of “spiritual authors” have all kinds of books about “spiritual laws.” However, most people mix and match “laws” that tend to validate their model of reality. In this episode I quickly cover the “Seven Cosmic Laws” brought to the world by Hermes Tresmegistus and though the laws were just published around 100 years ago, the manuscript is believed to be over 10,000 years old. These are the laws that govern as laws and as you’re listening to this episode you’ll find two things: one, it will be obvious why your life has unfolded in the way that it has and secondly, you’ll start to see just how powerful you are. The Seven Cosmic Laws are known as Hermetic Wisdom and in this episode I lay out all seven for you. The Laws… 1. The Principle of Mentalism: The All is mind; The Universe is Mental. 2. The Principle of Correspondence: As above, so below; as below, so above. As within, as without; as without, so within. 3. The Principle of Vibration: Nothing rests; Everything moves; Everything vibrates. 4. The Principle of Polarity: Everything is dual; Everything has poles; Everything has its pair of opposites; Like and unlike are the same;Opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; Extremes meet; All truths are but half-truths;All paradoxes may be reconciled. 6. The Principle of Rhythm: Everything flows, out and in; Everything has its tides; All things rise and fall; The pendulum swing manifests in everything; The measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; Rhythm compensates. 7. The Principle of Cause & Effect: Every cause has its effect; Every effect has its cause; Everything happens according to  law’ Chance is but a name for law not recognized’ There are many planes of causation,but nothing escapes the law. 8. The Principle of Gender: Gender is in everything; Everything has its masculine and feminine principles; Gender manifests on all planes. Transformational Takeaway: Our lives are governed by cosmic laws and when we know these laws we then have the “scepter of power.” Mentioned Resources: The Kybalion Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill The Secret Of The Ages by Robert Collier Stuart Wilde Books Dr. Wayne Dyer Books Episode 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You Want Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most of the people on the planet, or at least in the first world, you have often asked yourself,“What do I need to do with my life?” Yes? No? This is akin to an earlier episode I did on your “purpose” but I’m looking at it from a different angle in this episode. As you’ll hear me say in this episode, most of us have been taught to go through life to “earn the gold watch.” You know…go to college, get a great job, make money,have a family and retire from the job after 40 years with that infamous “gold watch.” What a life, eh? 90% of people live this way because they don’t know any other way and recent research shows that over 70% of people are completely unfilled with living their lives this way. Yet, most do it for decades, anyway. If you’re like most of us I know you have thought,“There has got to be more to life than work, live and die,” right? There is more, but as you’ll discover in this episode, you’ll never ever discover what this other is until you set out on a journey to discover who you are at your soul level. I mean, after all, you are all a soul in a body, right? So, the reality is… You can live for your 3D ego or for your soul’s expression, the choice is yours and I know that one brings the hamster wheel of life and the other brings absolute freedom. Which have you chosen to date and which will you choose tomorrow? There is more to it than all this which you’ll discover in this episode and your place to start discovering who you are is this… Transformational Takeaway: “The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” RUMI Mentioned Resources: Episode 6: Here’s The Only Place To Find Your Highest Potential Episode 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You Want Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now I’m taking a different format for this episode, just to mix it up a bit. Instead of a one-theme episode like I usually do I share five random thoughts and premises that I live by and ones that have changed my life. Here are the five random thoughts I expand on in this episode: [5:57] I am who I have learned to be [13:03] There is nothing in my life without my agreement [22:40] Everything always has been, is now, and will be fine [23:19] What I give myself to owns me [30:27] My life is my teacher In this episode I share how each of these life philosophies shape my life and how I live by them and how they impact my well being. I share them as food for thought and give them to you as easy “takeaways.” And, when you master them and KNOW them, they will be guiding rudders that will change your life and give you peace of mind. Transformational Takeaway: I am who I learned to be, number one. Number two, there is nothing in my life without my agreement. Number three is what I give myself to owns me. Number four, let me reverse the order here without just thinking about these allowed is everything always has been is now and will always be fine. And then the final one obviously is my life is my teacher.

Start Your Transformation Now Did you know that… 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and 37% of Americans are three months from poverty. 80% of the US population is either overweight or obese. 50% of marriages end in divorce and 70% of people are unsatisfied with their jobs. Did you know all of this and where do you fall into these categories? All of this happens to each person for one reason, poor self-management skills. Lao Tsu once said, “Mighty is he who has power over others. Mightier still is he who has power over himself.” Self-management is self-power. How strong is your self-management? Let’s use a metaphor if your life was a factory and you were the foreman of that factory, how successful would your factory be? Would it be productive? Would it be a failure? What is the productive output? It’s all about management and the quality of management and so is your life. The quality of your life is about quality self-management. In this episode, I talk about your own self-management skills and I ask you to take one area of your life and start developing your self-management skills in that area. HINT: Amazing self-management starts with well being and that is an inside job. It’s about living from the inside out and not the outside in. Transformational Takeaway: “Mighty is he who has power over others. Mightier still is he who has power over himself.” How much power over yourself do you have and have you developed?
