The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now I’m sure you’ve already made dozens of judgments today about yourself and other people and people have already judged you about what you’re wearing or how you’re acting or what music you’re playing. Heck, you’ve probably judged this podcast! That’s because that’s what humans do. We judge. We are meaning-making machines! In this episode, you’ll discover that judging people and being judged is a part of the human experience and the most effective way to eliminate the fear of being judged is to accept it. I provide some key questions to ask yourself surrounding fears of abandonment and rejection that you won’t want to miss if you want to start living a fuller and more freedom-filled life. In this episode I discuss: Abandonment and Rejection—the two biggest fears we have How to get over people judging you for good Are you judging yourself on externals? If so you’ll never be happy. Do this instead! Questions to ask yourself to finally eliminate the fear of judgment and rejection Transformational Takeaway: When people are judging you, how do you know to the exact degree that you’re being judged? 10%? 100%? The truth is you don’t know. If you’re not putting yourself out there yet, at what degree of judgment can you take action anyway, despite the judgment? When you’re only in a 100% judgment-free zone? Can you take action when you have 20% judgment? How will you know when to stop being in the fear of judgment? Hint: Now is a good time to let go of that fear. No matter what you do you’ll be judged. What would your life look like 3 months from now if you took action even if you knew you would be judged? Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode, you’re not going to get some “rah rah” motivational advice to perform at your highest. Instead, you’ll learn that living your highest potential is not external, it’s internal. It’s all about quieting the mind and mastering your silence. When you stop your internal dialogue you become so much more powerful and when you quiet the internal noise you create silence of mind, and that’s where the answers come. In this episode I discuss: Why mastering your silence is the answer to finding your highest potential External silence vs internal silence (and why we need both) How to quiet your mind by using a variety of different techniques (Download PDF for a list of resources) When you learn to stop talking to yourself, ANYTHING becomes possible for you Transformational Takeaway: Living your highest potential is not external, it’s internal. it’s all about quieting the mind.

Start Your Transformation Now In today’s episode, you’ll learn why it has been so hard to break your bad habits. The reason why is that people try to use willpower to break bad habits and willpower is a conscious process and habits come from the reptilian brain. When you got up this morning you didn’t say “ok I’m going to get out of bed then go to the bathroom then shower”…. it happened automatically without conscious analytical thought. All of us go through life on autopilot and if you have what you do not want, you’ve created that on autopilot. If you want to create new things in life, you’ve got to create new habits. You’ll learn: Your entire life is a habit. You must focus on creating the habits that create the outcome that you want. Most people have a story that it’s hard to break a habit. Most people try and create change with the wrong part of the brain My habit program that will show you how to eliminate any habit without using willpower Transformational Takeaway: You are not your habits. You are not your urges. You are not your habit voice telling you to go into your habits. (That’s your reptilian brain talking) You are you and your brain runs your habits. You cannot change your habits by fighting them. You must communicate with reptilian brain and it becomes easy for you to break your habits.

Start Your Transformation Now What is the story of your life? In this episode you learn that your stories control every single aspect of your life. Basically, your life is one big story. Everything in your life is a story and if you’re not getting what you want in life, what is your story about that? About money? Health? Relationships? If you want something in life and don’t yet have it, that means your current story doesn’t support the having of it. Listen to the full episode to learn how to create stories that support your dreams! In this episode I discuss: How I changed my story from hurting me to serving me How life reflects your stories What did your parents say to you when you were younger? Do you still carry this? Let’s examine your stories! Debilitating stories versus driving stories My brother-in-law the Shaman Transformational Takeaway: What experience of life do I want? What story will create that for me?

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode we look at your identity and why you do what you do. You’ll learn that it doesn’t matter what you think you want and it doesn’t matter what you do because you only create in life what you are. Your identity is created from experiences in your life, then you create an interpretation from those experiences and then you tell yourself a story about it for the rest of your life. So, in order to change your identity, you must first ask “What would be the identity of someone who already has what I want?” Look for someone who already has what you want. Listen to the entire episode to learn about changing your identity! In this episode I discuss: How your identity is formed when you’re a small child How you have created an identity loop and it’s keeping you stuck How to determine what identity you have (hint look at your environment) Discovering your internal barometer What identity do you want? How do you get it? Transformational Takeaway: What identity would I need to have to create _____ in my life? Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode you'll discover why you’ve worked really hard, put in all the effort, the hours, the blood sweat and tears and you’re still not getting the results you want. If you’re like most people you are working backwards—working from the “have do be” model. If I had the money then I could hire someone and grow my business. This is a broken model! The model that you want to start working from is what I call “be do have” model. “Who or how do I have to be to do the things that I choose to do to have the success that I want?” In this episode I discuss: Are you working from an identity that sabotages you? How perfectionism didn’t stop me from getting this podcast out How most people are working backwards The “be do have” model (if you’re not using this, you’re sabotaging yourself!) Why people are setting goals in the wrong way The reason you haven’t created what you want to create in life Who are you really? Where were you before you landed on this planet? A powerful question to start asking yourself Transformational Takeaway: What am I committed to and how or who do I have to be to achieve _____?
