The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation NowIf 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: [1:30] Managing your time is no longer about the clock [3:25] Whenever you manage your time by time or circumstance, you will never have enough time [8:26] Prioritize your time, energy, and effort to get you to bigger long-term rewards, than chasing your tail every single day [9:26] What am I committed to? Whatever you are committed to is what you want to prioritize [13:57] 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 [15:30] Whatever you’re in the habit of, is how you invest your time [30:30] 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?Mentioned Resources:Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money by Robert T.

Start Your Transformation NowDespite what you think, you’re not in control of anything.It’s the greatest illusion that most of us get into and it’s toxic to so many areas of life.In this episode I talk about:How control issues destroy self, relationships, families and even businessesI often see it: [2:46] Regarding self – mentally exhaust people and create frustration [9:48] Regarding families – I’ve seen it divide families [10:18] Regarding partnerships – I’ve seen it create “prisons” for partners [11:57] Regarding business – I’ve seen it strangle business growth The reality is, you have zero control in life and even if you think you do, you don’t. In truth and science, your brain runs the show. Your brain is in control.When you get into a car, how much control do you have? Better yet, when you get on an airplane, how much control do you really have?This is one episode of a few I’m going to create on the subject.Enjoy!Transformational Takeaway: You have ZERO control over anything in your life, but you do have influence in your life.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 NowHow often you wondered why things are not coming to you as easily in life as they seem to come to others?Probably almost everyone reading this can relate in some way. Right? You’re working away, you’re helping others but things just don’t open up.The flood gates never open wide.There are a few reasons for this but a vital reason is where you’re holding your energy and attention in regard to service and manifestation.In my opinion, this episode is a Master Concept – AYNI. Ancient Incan for “Reciprocity of Life.” We get what we give with an open heart, and if you’re not getting in life you may want to ask yourself if are you “giving to get or giving to give?”In this episode I discuss: [10:30] Why “servant leadership” is usually misplaced [11:48] Taking, matching and giving [15:43] The humbleness of giving anonymously [24:54] Why the best way to take care of yourself it taking care of others first [25:42] How giving is like an ATM [26:15] Why giving to others is an investment in yourself And, as you know from every episode, much, much more.In this episode I give you multiple stories and examples of how I shifted from a “matcher” to a giver. Specifically, a giver with an open heart, which makes all the difference.I said it earlier and I’ll say it again, I cannot stress enough, AYNI, and mastering it is the key to just about everything you want.Enjoy this episode, and more importantly, master AYNI and transform your circumstances.Transformational Takeaway: What you give with an open heart is what returns.Mentioned Resources:Books By Florence Scovel ShinnDisclosure: 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.

Start Your Transformation NowThis is a very special episode because it is the first time that I have a guest on the podcast.Today’s guest is Mr. James Wedmore, who is a very very good friend and he’s here because our relationship perfectly reflects the topic of today’s episode – AYNI. AYNI is an ancient Incan word for the concept of reciprocity of life. James and I play a huge role in each other’s lives and serve each other.In this episode we talk about in great depth the concept of AYNI and giving with an open heart.In this episode I discuss: [10:58] Why you need to give first to be able to get [16:40] The difference between doing something with your heart and giving without any expectation vs. just doing it for the money [17:46] Aligning with your purpose [25:30] How letting go of things (even if they are valuable) sometimes is the best thing you can do if they are not in your heart [33:23] How having money doesn’t change you and your being How selling is helping others because if people don’t have skin in the game, they don’t get the transformation [41:00] How you can manifest anything and give even without having any money Transformational Takeaway: Your life will become truly amazing if you follow the AYNI principle and you start giving with an open heart to people around you.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 NowHave 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 discuss: [4:03] How most people see life only in the context of time on the planet [5:36] How do you grow and evolve beyond your perceived time here? [11:11] How we are all born into a world that traps us in a small reality [11:50] Where is your predominant focus on your life right now? [17:21] 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?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 NowIf you don’t have what you want in life and you’re not where you want to be it’s because you’re not taking ownership of your life.What is “ownership”? It’s the act, state, or right of possessing something.YOU OWN YOUR LIFE!You own the power to heal, the power to create, the power to manifest, the power to attract, the power to reflectively think and the power to create anything you want and most of us touch none of that power.In this episode I discuss: [7:42] The difference between life ownership and responsibility [10:38] The power of ownership and co-creating [13:33] How you own your life and what you create [20:37] The power of commanding your mind And as you already know, a lot more.It’s such a huge thought for most people to get their minds around, but in truth you are the “sole owner” of your body and your life. As such, you have 100% dominion over your mind and body.Transformational Takeaway: You Are The Creator Of Your Life, OWN THAT.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 NowThis episode is a rerun of an earlier episode with a new introduction explaining why I’m running this particular episode again. If someone asked me of all the episodes which I’d chosen to master at the deepest level of my being, it would be what’s in this episode.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: [12:07] Why mastering your silence is the answer to finding your highest potential [14:39] External silence vs internal silence (and why we need both [16:53] How to quiet your mind by using a variety of different techniques [26:14] 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.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 NowThis is a powerful episode when you finally get the gravity of the title – You speak your life into existence.Everything you have or don’t have in your life, you have either spoken it into your life or out of your life.Fully consider that.You may have heard the old phrase, “You live and die by your word?” Well, you also create and manifest or repel by your word. Words are power.Words program your subconscious mind. Words affect behavior. Words have vibration and frequency.In this episode I discuss: [1:11] How you speak your life into existence [4:50] Why your world is the way that it is [7:07] How you create with your words [8:01] The power of self-talk [15:24] Words and stories that keep you trapped [19:59] Healing your body with words [24:12] And, the frequency and vibration of word As I said, this is a powerful episode and when you become 100% responsible for your words, your life will begin to transform in miraculous ways.As Kahlil Gibran said, “Your words are drippings of the mind.” And, you already know what's in your mind is what you will create in your life.Transformational Takeaway: You speak your life into existence.Mentioned Resources:What to Say When You Talk to Your Self by Shad Helmstetter Ph.DEpisode 9: How The Law Of Attraction Repels The Money And Abundance You WantDisclosure: 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.
