Okay, bear with me here - if this is (or I am) new to you, this’ll be a dose of weird, if not - should be a good reminder :)
Good weird though.
It’s so strange in a way how clearly I can see that these two things -
Human Design - in a nutshell, the science of being yourself
and
Online Marketing - which in its highest form, I think, is essentially the art and science of learning to convey your unique message to those who you’re here to impact and serve in the world ...
To which I can add my own particular bias ... “as yourself or (honestly), why bother”
That they go together, might seem like strange bedfellows to some, but not through this lens I see through.
And like I’ve said lots of places before, though you may be new and hearing this for the first time, sure sales and marketing can be used for less than good.
Unfortunately, that IS what many have experienced and it’s what’s given sales in particular a bad rap.
But they can also can be a source of deep personal discovery, connection and service.
And really, what honing this skill and awareness offers, among other things, is a supported path to the personal time and space that’s really required to be able to comfortably, and in a sort of ironic way ... self-sufficiently ... become more and more yourself.
If that makes sense?
I dunno how much sense that makes tbh - am here writing off the cuff and horizontal in my cozy bed, listening to the neighbor roosters and the rain on the metal roof of my studio.
This is the quote from Ra I read just before beginning to write. Maybe it connects some dots or pops a lightbulb for you too.
“This is the magic of what it is to be involved in something that's about you and not about ―we, or some kind of larger this where we all have to wear the same costumes and do the same dance. It‘s not about that. It‘s the magic of what's possible when each of us gets to live out the flowering of our uniqueness. That's what's really here. It‘s not about changing anything. It‘s not about repairing anything. It‘s not about working at anything. This is about living. This is about living Design. This is what you do. You breathe. That‘s all.
And the breathing isn't something you're in charge of anyway. It just happens. Just follow your breath and let your breath remind you that this is all there is. There is just this mechanism. There‘s this prana. This prana is moving and moving and moving. It‘s the way it goes. If you‘re going to get stuck in all the nonsense of how all this works, what a pain. You miss the whole ride.
It‘s like being given a beautiful tour of some incredible place and you spend the whole time reading a book. You don‘t see anything; nothing. You miss the whole story. And the book you're reading is how to enjoy traveling. The madness of what it is to be a human being. We‘re here for the trip. We‘re really here for the trip. And if you throw the book away, if you throw your mind‘s whole long story about this, you can throw it away and you can actually enjoy the ride. And the ride is the thing.”

Do you hear what I’m trying to get across? 🤔
What I’ve experienced is - sales and marketing are the mechanism to that.
Maybe not in the way you understand sales and marketing to be.
Not the black hat version.
The white hat kind.
It’s possible. ❤️
You already have your extended Human Design chart, right?
Next we turn our attention to the thing that can remove resistance to sales and help you to get your message and offer in front of the people who are meant to hear you.
Ready for that?
