#89 - 99.8% Of People’s Minds Work Backwards - Do This Instead
Real talk… Jim Fortin changed my life as a young 17 year old. It is very full circle being able to sit down at his house for over 2 hours and have him on the show.
Most people are living life backwards. They’re chasing more money, more success, more things… all while stuck in the same identity that keeps pulling them back.
In this episode, Jim Fortin breaks down why 99.8% of people are working from the wrong place - behavior over identity, and how to flip it so transformation actually sticks. We unpack subconscious programming, the stories we tell ourselves, habits that shape our entire reality, and how to finally step into the identity of the person you want to become.
Key Discussion Points
• Why most people “work backwards” in life
• How your subconscious identity sabotages change
• The hidden role of habits and stories
• Breaking free from scarcity and limitation
• The real path to lasting transformation
Thank you all for the support. This one is special. Very special for me.
