The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation NowThis is an ENCORE episode and I’m running those for a few weeks. Each one I picked is a pivotal aspect of life. Intention is the fabric of the universe and nothing is created without intention. We use intention all day long, every day, and yet most of us misuse it to create the lives we don’t want. It’s vital that you learn and master this universal concept. In this episode, I delve into the power of “Intention and Will” to transform your life from the inside out. This entire episode is about how your thoughts shape your reality and how you can consciously create the experiences you desire, even amidst the chaos of the world.Using Intention and Will In the first segment of this episode I explore the importance of using your intention and will to manifest your desires. I emphasize the significance of setting clear intentions and harnessing your willpower. When you understand the role of intention and will, you can begin to transform your life and create the experiences you want.What’s vital to explore and understand is your consciousness and the physical world. When you understand that you then begin to understand there is a relationship and the relationship of your internal thoughts and external circumstances are 100% related. I also talk about scientific evidence that demonstrates how your thoughts and intentions can impact your physical world. Additionally, I talk about the energetic influence you have on others through your thoughts, emphasizing the importance of conscious awareness in shaping your reality.What I’m going to say sounds a bit like Scientology and it’s not. Heck, I don’t even know what the tenets of that “religion” are. However, what I want to say is this: You are a multi-dimensional being. You are both mind and body and yet most of us live only through the body and that is 1% of who and what we are. In addition to talking about INTENTION, I talk about using your WILL and this is not your “willpower.” I’m talking about harnessing the life force in you. Harnessing and directing it is called “Using your WILL.” Every thought you have creates your reality and it is imperative that you evaluate where you focus your thoughts and the strength of your thought projection. By shifting from fear-based thinking to creating value and abundance in people's lives, you can align yourself with a higher vibration and attract the positive outcomes you desire. In the final part of this episode, I share the significance of Intention and Will in the healing process providing you want or need physical healing. I share a technique that I learned from don Xavier to aid in my own healing in 2020. Transformational Takeaway: Remember that you have the innate ability to influence your external world through your thoughts and intentions. By setting clear intentions, using your will, and embracing holistic practices, you can transform your life from within and inspire others along the way. Stay aligned with your higher self, continue to evolve, grow, and help others on their spiritual journeys.Mentioned Resources:Master Thought FormulaDR.QUANTUM – DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENTEPISODE 104: Using Your Intention And Will To Create And ManifestLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowThis is an encore episode with a new introduction. If someone asked me, “Jim, what is one concept you’d want people to master from your podcast?” AYNI would be that one thing.

Honest! Here are the key concepts in this episode:  Understanding AYNI and the Reciprocity of Life Unleashing Your Potential  Giving vs. Getting Finding Purpose and Fulfillment Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Solving Problems and Adding Value Embracing Challenges and Taking Action The Power of Coaching and Support Creating Meaning and Making a Difference Abundance Mindset and Letting Go of Worry There is no way I can fully express the power of AYNI.

Discover how your consciousness shapes your reality and learn how to rewrite your belief system for personal transformation.The Revolution of EpigeneticsBruce Lipton introduces us to the revolution of epigenetics, a science that reveals the power we have over our genes. He debunks the victim mindset of heredity and emphasizes how our perception of the environment plays a crucial role in gene expression. Explore the concept of “epi-genetic control” and understand how it transcends the limitations of genetic determinism. Many people consider Bruce one of the pioneers in the field.The Subconscious Mind and Habitual ProgrammingDelve into the profound influence of your subconscious mind in your daily life. Bruce Lipton explains how your subconscious acts as an autopilot, driving your habits and behaviors. Gain insights into the impact of thought patterns and the importance of being present in the real world. Discover the astonishing realization that we often operate on autopilot, playing subconscious programs for 95% of our day. I have said this a bazillion times before and many of us don’t “get it,” but our thoughts and behaviors are subconsciously “programmed.”Belief Systems and HealthThis segment challenges the conventional belief system surrounding health and disease. Bruce Lipton uncovers the fallacy of “cancer genes” and reveals that cancer is a state of disharmony in our lives perpetuated by belief systems. Explore the profound connection between our mind, body, and overall well-being.

By the way, I have also done a few episodes on the concept of fear and eliminating it.Creating Your Reality through Belief SystemsExplore the incredible potential of your belief systems in shaping your life.

Discover the profound connection between your consciousness, beliefs, and your ability to create a fulfilling and harmonious life. Transformational Takeaway: We are not victims of our heredity, but rather, empowered beings capable of rewriting our own destinies.

Start Your Transformation NowRecently, I was talking to my brother-in-law, the shaman, don Xavier, yesterday. It was just a general conversation though some things came up that we have talked about before. None of it was pointed at me but we talked about a few concepts that just may be able to have an impact in your life. Two things in particular. 1) Reactivity and 2) Nothing changes. When it comes to not changing I don’t mean it in the way you may think. In the way we talked about it here, I’m sure most listeners will find it valuable and will be able to see themselves in it.In my 13-week transformation program, TCP, we spend a week on the concept of reaction. Neurologically, a reaction can be related to either a survival defense or has simply become a brain-based habit. Regardless, how often do you get yourself in trouble when you react? How often do you react and wish you could take back your reaction? How often do you react and cause fights in your relationships?No matter your reactivity, when it happens in response to someone else’s behavior, you’re out of balance.Next, we talked about what we allow to change us and I don’t mean overall, in the grand scheme of our life but I mean in the course of daily living.When we let things change us, we give our power to the external world. The bigger caveat/message here is that it’s vital that we find impeccability in our life and that is a loss of ego, letting go of attachment, letting go of past history, and balancing the higher part of us with the lower part of us.When we learn to create impeccability, the key is not to let things change us from that, no matter what happens in life.Transformational Takeaway: When we react, we change based on external circumstances and we let these circumstances pull us out of our peace of mind and balance.Mentioned Resources:EPISODE 240: Are You Leaking Your Power?Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this episode, James Wedmore and I reveal several nuggets of pure gold as we discuss many topics from personal branding, to crafting an irresistible offer, overcoming the fear of selling, and the power of shifting identity in business.Each segment of the podcast is packed with actionable advice. However, I want to showcase one of the most profound segments here…Imagine a scene from a Marvel movie where the superhero discovers their true powers for the first time. The sheer wonder and delight of that moment ripples across their face as they discover all the things they thought were impossible are now easy for them to do. Well, in the world of business, shifting identity is like unlocking your superpowers. James Wedmore shares his own transformative experience, highlighting how changing his identity revolutionized his business journey. The secret lies in embracing the role you play and recognizing its impact on your results. You might BE the CEO, but the question is, are you BEing a CEO? If you constantly find yourself jumping on tasks that “need to get done” rather than finding talented people to own those efforts, then most likely little of your focus is on the growth of your business.Plain and simple, a CEO should be focused on leadership and growth, NOT doing data entry or figuring out what image goes best with a social media post.Success in business is about leverage. Fully assuming your role as CEO is about relinquishing control. It’s about leveraging talented people, resources, and tools to enable your business's growth.Now, whether you are a business owner or not, think about how this applies to your life. Are you constantly trying to “do it all” yourself and not reaching out when you could use help in your personal growth? In the various roles we play in our lives, mother, father, daughter, son, student, employee… heck, even pet owner. How are you showing up? Do you embrace and fully assume your role? Do you want to?Whether you’re an entrepreneur, soon-to-be entrepreneur, or happy employee, we should all ask these questions of ourselves. And if you want to learn how we answered them I can promise you that you’ll gain valuable insight listening in on my conversation with James.Transformational Takeaway: To receive success, you must BE success. Our actions are only as good as our BEing. Shift your identity to BEing that version of yourself that receives all the things you desire. From that BEing your DOing will change and become powerful.Mentioned Resources:James Wedmore CEO Quizjimfortin.com/riseLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowI’m doing an encore episode on money this week because so many people, maybe even you, are struggling in this challenging economy. I talk a lot about money in different places, not because I like talking about money but because the more money you attract the better quality of life you will have and the more people you can help. This is an encore episode of me chatting with my good friend, James Wedmore. James is a world-recognized leader in the field of internet marketing and online business building. And, over the years he has helped 100s of 1000s of people around the world and attracted tens of millions of dollars back into his own life. We talked for over an hour about things that I know will be helpful to you. And, this episode is not just about money, it’s about life and service. One of the most important concepts you’ll ever hear me talk about is AYNI and we talk about it in this episode. James also works with my brother-in-law, the shaman, don Xavier. So, he also lives from AYNI and service. This concept alone can bring you anything and everything you want in life yet most of us don’t live in this place. A place of service. Candidly, I know when we “listen” to things we often do it with a distracted mind and we “half listen.” If you’re a business person or entrepreneur listening several times is a must but it’s not just about listening, it’s about absorbing the truth in this episode and executing it in your own life and business. When you do that, dramatic changes will happen very quickly in your business. Transformational Takeaway: The true essence of the game is practicing true AYNI, which is serving from an open heart. If you’re not receiving something in your life, it’s because you haven’t first given something. If you witness things vanishing from your life, that’s a reflection of yourself.Mentioned Resources:James Wedmore CEO QuizEpisode 33: “AYNI – The Reciprocity Of Life”Episode 115: “Spirituality, Business, and Prosperity”Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowI don’t know about you but there have been times in my life where I have been sick and tired. I’ve been irritable, miserable and lost. There have been times, and it has been many years ago, but I have been very unhappy at my external circumstances. As I look back years ago, I now know that I was so unhappy because I was trying to control, force or make things happen. Many of us try to control our external world and circumstances instead of managing our internal world which directly affects our external world. Many if not most of us work backwards…. we try to work from the outside in and that’s as successful as trying to snow ski uphill… it does not work. Long ago I realized that life was so hard for me because I was trying to control things and I was not happy when things did not go the way I planned, wanted or expected. I would literally fight, curse and complain about not getting the results I wanted when I was the one creating the lack of results. One day I realized, it dawned on me… I heard someone say, “Just surrender and all that will go away.” The last thing I wanted to do in life is surrender because I thought it would make me look weak. My tenacity and stubbornness was my downfall and it brought a great deal of unhappiness into my life. I didn’t understand what it meant to surrender. And, when I finally understood the meaning of the concept of surrender my life started to change and that’s what I want to share with you in this episode. If you want more peace and joy in your life then start living from what I share with you here.Transformational Takeaway: When you surrender you let go of fear and when you let go of fear you surrender. Ponder that. Your fears, not including survival fears, are attachment driven and when we attach we try to control an outcome that is not surrender and we make ourselves miserable though our attachments.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation Now“I’m not good enough” is one of the stories I hear more than any other.This single story alone is debilitating and toxic and I talk about how I used to feel the same and how I overcame it.The thing about being “good enough,” it has to be measured against something. There must be criteria to measure it and the truth is, there is absolutely no way to measure it.For example…if someone said, “You’re the best in the world at what you do,” there is almost no way to verify that. After all, if you are the best, then it means the “best” and it means they’d have to have an experience with every single other person in the world who does what you do to verify. It’s not possible.More than anything, we only feel not good enough when we compare ourselves to others.And, we only feel not good enough when we are judging ourselves and making value judgments about others and ourselves.In this episode I talk about how I pulled myself out of this toxic vortex and how I freed myself.More than anything, to feel good enough we MUST accept ourselves. We must accept how and what we are…whatever that is.The interesting thing is, we can only evaluate being “good enough” if we are comparing ourselves to other people and that also is not impossible as we can compare ourselves to what we can see of and about them but we cannot see what’s going on in their head and internal life.Transformational Takeaway: Being “good enough” has nothing to do with your external world. The way to be good enough is to accept yourself as you are, right now.Mentioned Resources:Introducing Jin Shin Jyutsu Is, Book 1 by Mary BurmeisterDisclosure: 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.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
