The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever wondered why you’re so unhappy at times? Have you often wished you were happier? Well, it’s possible, and you can be because your happiness is 100% reflective of your internal state. It does not come from outside of you, it comes from with it which means it’s an absolute choice to what degree you’re going to be happy. The Buddha said something along the lines of “Your greatest causes of suffering is attachment.” What do you ATTACH to? Homes, cars, money, people, ideas, beliefs? The biggest cause of suffering for most is that they attach to “things” and when the things are not aligned with how they think they should be, they are then happy and “suffering.” In this episode I discuss: [4:27] Your expectations of others and things [11:45] Separating your outcomes from your expectations [18:19] Letting go of attachment to your stories [28:03] Letting go of fear, worry and the past and future [29:00] Being in the moment and in the perfect place and time now [29:21] Letting go out of attachment to outcomes Transformational Takeaway: “You are only to perform your duty without an eye on their fruits.” — Bhagavad Gita Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now If you’ve read all the books, been to all the seminars, followed all the gurus and you still don’t have what you want in life it’s because you’ve not learned to master your attention – it’s the Master Key in life. The definition of ATTENTION IS: the act or state of applying the mind to something. Attention filters into every single aspect of your life: Health, money, happiness, marriage, relationships and every other aspect of your life. If you find yourself somewhere that you don’t want to be in life it’s because that’s “where your attention is.” Want something different, then move your attention. In this episode I talk about mastering attention and how that applies to health, wealth and happiness. And, I talk about how MOST people keep their attention in the past and future and very few people live in the present moment. I also give you an example of how most are trapped in the past and future and don’t live from and for NOW. If you want more in life then listen to this episode and start to work on mastering your attention. You’ll be glad you did. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now The #1 reason people are unhappy and probably you too is because you’re not where you think you want to be in life. That space between where you are and where you think you should be is what most people call unhappiness. In this episode I answer Iilam’s question about How To Be Accepting Of The Way Things Are and How To Stay Happy When Bad Things Happen. In this episode I discuss: The frequency that “bad thinking creates. How BEing happy is the way to BE Happy. Why thinking is an illusion. You’re where you are in life because of your choices. Living from the inside out, not the outside in. The reason “training ourselves” is important. Why “Moving Your Attention” is vital to your health and happiness And much, much more… Transformational Takeaway: You are where you are because you choose to be there. Life does not test you it REFLECTS YOU. We have to work from the inside out, not the outside in. To be powerful, we can not let the external world dictate our internal state of mind. Everything is about training yourself because thought is nothing more than habit. Mentioned Resources: Master Thought Formula Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most people you go through your days never having enough time, always playing “catch up” and wondering what you can do differently to get things done, right? If this is you, then you’re going to love this podcast episode because getting everything done that you need to is not about managing your time, it’s about prioritizing your commitments and values. When you know what you value most and what you’re committed to, it’s then easy to understand how you need to prioritize your time. If you don’t know what you’re committed to you don’t know how you’re choosing and when you don’t know how you’re choosing you’re mismanaging your time. Actually, the reason most people never have enough time is because they manage their day by time, and when you manage your day by time, you’ll never have enough time. Look at your own life and you’ll probably find that to be true. If you want to “catch up” and be productive and get things done then you must start managing your time by commitments and values. In this episode I discuss: Managing your time is no longer about the clock Whenever you manage your time by time or circumstance, you will never have enough time Prioritize your time, energy, and effort to get you to bigger long-term rewards, than chasing your tail every single day What am I committed to? Whatever you are committed to is what you want to prioritize If you don’t know what you are committed to, you don’t know how you’re choosing, then you do not know how you are investing or squandering your time Whatever you’re in the habit of, is how you invest your time What am I committed to and who do I have to BE to make it happen Transformational Takeaway: Instead of working from the clock, and by the clock, where you want to start working from is, what am I committed to?

Start Your Transformation Now You probably believe in the Law of Attraction, but if you’re like most people you’re struggling with money. And this is because you’re most likely using law of attraction against you. If this is you, listen to this episode now because we're about to change all that for you! People who have money work from prosperity consciousness. They are engaging the Law of Attraction in a way that actually attracts money for them, instead of repelling money for them. When it comes to money, most people focus on not having it and they focus on lack. What you put out in thought is what you attract back, and most people engage in the Law of Attraction because they need money, and therefore are in fear and desperation, and that’s what they are vibrating and feeling and attracting back. In this episode, you are going to learn how to manage your emotions which affect your frequency, what your prosperity consciousness is, how you feel about being rich, and separating your money from your work. In this episode I discuss: Everything you have in your life or don’t have is reflecting who and how you’re BEing unconsciously, and who and how you are BEing in your thought. The universe does not test you, it reflects you. HUGE myth: Money comes from hard work! Exact steps that you need to master to use the Law of Attraction to actually bring money to you as opposed to repelling money for you like it did in the past. One of the easiest ways to change your prosperity consciousness. Transformational Takeaway: Wherever you have your attention, wherever you have your emotions, that’s what you attract. Use the Law of Attraction to attract money instead of repelling money. Focus on emotional abundance. I must be emotionally abundant if I want to attract financial abundance.

Start Your Transformation Now Everyone knows and I know that you know you have what people call a subconscious or unconscious mind. Less than one percent of people know how to use this part of your mind. And this part of your mind pretty much controls every bit of your life. If you're not making the kind of money that you want to make or you don't have the health that you want or the relationships or the body or money or whatever it is… the reason you do not have all of that is because everything that you have in your external life is a reflection of what you hold in your unconscious paradigms.  The big mistake that everyone makes is that they try to change something in their behavior. They try to change something in their external world never recognizing that their entire external world is created and driven and perpetuated by their internal world. Stop trying to DO things to make it happen and start BECOMING. In this podcast episode you're going to start learning about the unconscious mind and you're going to start learning about how you can use this part of your mind to create anything that you want.  In this episode I discuss: The big mistake people make when trying to change Why people who read “Think and Grow Rich” don’t get rich How to use repetition and programming to change your identity How contextual programming plays a role in your transformation Transformational Takeaway: When you change your subconscious paradigms your external world changes automatically. So stop trying to DO things to make it happen and start BECOMING. Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?
