The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation Now Hopefully not, but if you’re like 79% of Americans you’re living paycheck to paycheck. Ironically, money is easy to make and there are a million ways to make a million dollars yet most struggle. In this episode I touch briefly on the mental aspect of money, and I make it brief because Episode 9 clearly lays out how to attract money and how to stop repelling it. In thi...

Start Your Transformation Now How 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.

There are a few reasons for this but a vital reason is where you’re holding your energy...

Start Your Transformation Now This week’s Q&A Rocco asks, “How can you commit to your goal if you don’t know what your goal is in the first place?” If you’re like most people, you can relate.

If you can relate, you’re like Rocco, and even if you can’t entirely relate, you may still enjoy this episode because it may r...

Start Your Transformation Now This 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...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like billions of people you could probably relate to the headline. All the motivational speakers, gurus, and armchair motivators yell from the rooftops, “You have to believe in yourself to be successful.” There’s a way to get out there and make things happen in life and it has nothing to do with believing in yourself. In this episode I talk about: [3:57] Bel...

Start Your Transformation Now How often have you asked yourself this question: “What is my life’s purpose?” If you’re like almost all people, you’ve asked yourself this question over and over and you still haven’t found your answer.  In this episode I dig deeper and take a look at your life’s purpose from a much higher perspective. For most people, they have never thought in this way. They’ve neve...

Start Your Transformation Now Are you on the “money roller coaster?” Money goes up, money goes down and it’s a never-ending cycle, if so, this episode pertains to you. In this Q&A episode I dig into Stacy’s question about why her finances are like a roller coaster and I address why this is her “theme song.” I used to be on that same roller coaster, so I know it well. However, I got off that crazy ...

Start Your Transformation Now Have 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 t...

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever held on to something too long? A relationship, job, or something you were working on that you ”hoped would work out?” If so, you’re not alone. In this episode I obviously talk about the difference between being attached to an outcome and committed to an outcome. Many times people hang on too long to something that they don’t have the skills, abilities, p...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most people into personal development, you’ve probably heard someone along the way say, “You get paid according to the value you create in the world.” I heard that many years ago and used to believe that if I wanted to become rich I needed to create more value in the world. You know, the old Zig Ziglar quote, “Help enough people get what they want and t...

Start Your Transformation Now How often have you felt like you’re not good enough or that people are going to reject or judge you? Welcome to the two biggest fears that most people have: abandonment and inadequacy. People are going to reject you, and you’re not good enough. Both of these are huge energy suckers for most people and they relegate most people to the sidelines of life. The only way yo...

Start Your Transformation Now I wonder if you’ve noticed how much of your peace you give up and give away? Seemingly not a big deal but what you’re really giving up is your peace-of-mind, which is something you’ve been chasing most of your life. Pretty much everything you want in life you want it because you think it’s going to bring you peace-of-mind. The best example is money. Most likely you do...

Start Your Transformation Now This is not at all an uncommon question. Actually, I’m quite surprised at the number of relationships that fall into this category. One person wants to be happy, and the other grows as fast as a tortoise. I see it all the time, one person is growing, and the other is not. What usually happens is that one will stop growing and fall back into old patterns so as not to d...

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you started something: working out, a new work regimen or wanting to do something new and you found yourself falling off track in just a few short weeks? It’s not your fault. You can thank the reptilian part of your brain for pulling you off track. However, that part of your brain is pulling you off track to keep you on track with your old habits,...

Start Your Transformation Now I answer this question in two parts because it can be answered two ways. First, one of the biggest causes of unhappiness is that people refuse to accept life as it is at the moment. Most people are living in the past or the future and complaining about where they are not.  The “space” between where you are and your story about where you think you should be is what I c...

Start Your Transformation Now Fear, a dreadful disease of the mind. The one thing that keeps most people trapped in old ways, old relationships and old circumstances. Fear robs you of possibility and opportunity and it eats away at life like a parasite. One of the most powerful things we can do in this lifetime is to learn to transcend fear. When we do, what’s unknown becomes possible and what was...

Start Your Transformation Now Are you more awake right this moment, or are you more awake when you’re “sleeping?” If you’re like most people you’re going to say you’re more awake right now, and that’s just not true. When you’re sleeping, you’re pure unfettered consciousness. Meaning, you are not trapped by the belief systems that you have learned to condition yourself to believe over the years. Yo...

Start Your Transformation Now Q&A: Why do I keep struggling with commitment and quitting on myself? If you have a pulse, I’m sure at some point in your life you’ve asked yourself this very same question, right? “Why do I stop working out?” “How come I can never stick to my new diet? “Why do I start new things and quit?” Why am I always broke?” And, the list goes on. What commitments do you have a...
