Business Ideas For Your Human Design Type
Have you ever wondered if there’s a hidden formula to building a thriving business? Now what if that key lay within yourself?
Welcome to the profound world of Human Design, a system that unveils your unique energy type and offers a personalized roadmap for success–in business and everything else.
Many entrepreneurs struggle to reach their full potential. However, taking a Human Design test can provide the insights you need to create success.
Human design can help you set up a business that works with your energy as well as explain how you sell and communicate best. Working with your unique design can help not only bring more ease into your business work but help you stand out from the crowd.
Today we’re talking all things Human Design and business. My aim is to help you discover a more authentic and fulfilling path to entrepreneurial achievement than what you’ve been doing already. So let’s dive in.
What Is Human Design?
Human Design is a holistic system that combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and modern physics to create a personalized chart for each person. (Very similar to astrology!)
You can think of your Human Design chart as the blueprint for your life. It reveals your innate energy type, strategy, and authority. Human Design provides insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and the best way to navigate life’s challenges.
Business Ideas For Your Human Design Type
Manifestor: The Initator
Strategy: To Inform
As a Manifestor, your unique strength lies in your ability to initiate and bring ideas to life. You and Nike have one thing in common: you Just Do It. You don’t sit around and wait for permission or for the right time. You have a million ideas and you are itching to start them all now. Your pattern of work might be intense productivity followed by a long break.
Business Ideas for Manifestors:
- Anything innovation/invention. You excel at coming up with new ideas to share.
- Strategy, consulting, or creative fields where you can initiate projects and also take breaks to rest.
- Leadership roles where you have the freedom to make decisions quickly.
- Solopreneurship. Sometimes people can be frustrated with Manifestors because you move too quickly for their tastes. But as a solopreneur, you can steer your own ship and change things up as quickly as you see fit.
Business & Career Strategies For Manifestors:
Trust Your Intuition
Follow your gut feelings when deciding on your next move. The more you develop your intuition, the more powerful you get.
Use Your Inner Authority
Consult your inner authority for major decisions or when you need to conserve energy. (Check your Human Design chart!)
Initiate Fast
Don’t wait for external validation to start new projects. Prioritize starting new projects and initiatives ASAP.
Keep Others Informed
Manifestors must focus on their communication. If you’re on a team of any kind, always aim to keep those around you informed of your plans and progress for maximum harmony.
Delegate and Collaborate
Remember that you are the ideas person, but not necessarily the executor. Work with others, hire out for help, and delegate wherever you can so you can concentrate on what you’re good at. (Ideas!)
Don’t Feel Pressured to Finish Everything
Lean into your own energy! It’s okay to start and stop projects as your interests and energy shift.
Generators: The Builders
Strategy: To Respond
Generators are the Energizer Bunnies of the Human Design world. It’s like they have their own internal engine or source of power and energy. They just keep going and going, even when most others need to take a break. Set yourself apart by learning how to take advantage of this.
Business Ideas for Generators:
- Entrepreneurship
- Businesses that need someone 24/7 or someone who likes to work long hours on tasks that they enjoy
- Service or hospitality industry
- Subscription or membership-based businesses
Business & Career Strategies For Generators:
As a Generator, your unique strength lies in your ability to respond to external stimuli and pursue your passions.
Respond
Pay attention to the signs and opportunities that come your way. You don’t have to come up with new ideas yourself!
Follow Your Passions
Notice what lights you up! You must pursue the activities that ignite your enthusiasm to ensure maximum happiness and success.
Delegate
Preserve your energy for what’s important for you! That means outsourcing the activities and tasks that don’t light you up as much as possible.
Trust Your Gut
Listen to your inner authority to guide your decisions. (Check your chart!)
Avoid Proactive Initiation
Focus on responding to external cues rather than initiating ideas. You don’t have to come up with the next step. Very often, you simply won’t know it until you see it (and it lights you up!)
Manifesting Generators: The Multitasker
Strategy: To Respond & Inform
Manifesting Generators (or MGs) are a hybrid of the Manifestor and Generator types. That means you’re truly a superhero in disguise: you have both the quick ideas of the Manifestor and the ability to execute them fast, like a Generator. You are naturally efficient and able to juggle multiple topics or disciplines.
Business Ideas for Manifesting Generators:
- Multipassionate entrepreneur (like me!) That means having multiple niches or perhaps multiple clients (like coaches)
- Creative agencies
- Consulting
- Product development (or anything that allows you to switch topics frequently)
Business & Career Strategies For Manifesting Generators:
As a Manifesting Generator, your unique strength lies in your ability to respond to opportunities and to solve problems in unexpected ways.
Respond
Pay attention to the signs and opportunities that come your way, even if they come out of left field or don’t “make sense”. You don’t have to come up with every new idea (although you are good at that too).
Initiate with Intention
Tap into your Manifestor energy to take action when guided to do so by your intuition. Is it a hell yes or a hell no?
Follow Your Passions
Multipassionate is just who you are! So pursue multiple interests and projects that excite you, even if they’re strange.
Trust Your Gut
Listen to your inner authority to make informed decisions. (Check your chart for more on this!)
Don’t Force Yourself To Finish
While you start lots of projects, you don’t always finish them. And that’s okay! Don’t pressure on yourself to finish if you’re not feeling it.
Stay Flexible
You benefit from having flexible hours and tasks to focus your energy on.
Have Faith
For you, not everything makes sense at first. As the famous Steve Jobs quote goes, sometimes you only connect the dots looking backwards. Trust that everything you do pays off in one way or another.
Projectors: The Guides
Strategy: To Be Invited & Recognized
Projectors are the “big picture” people. They’re also natural leaders who excel at seeing the broader perspective and guiding others. Their strength lies in their keen insights and ability to effectively manage and organize teams. However, they must be mindful of conserving their energy levels to sustain their leadership role.
Business Ideas for Projectors:
- Coaching, consulting, and management
- Guiding and Advising: Any field where you can guide and advise others is a great fit.
- Small Teams and Partnerships: Collaborative environments allow them to contribute effectively.
- Part-time hours or jobs that don’t require you to be “on” for the normal work week
Business & Career Strategies For Projectors:
As a Projector, your unique strength lies in your ability to offer valuable insights and guidance to others. To maximize your potential, focus on these strategies:
Focus On Visibility
Showcasing your expertise is what you do well! Share your expertise through your social media, blog posts, videos, or other platforms.
Even if you don’t think of yourself as an influencer, posting on LinkedIn will position you as a thought leader, ultimately leading to new opportunities. (Just be patient! The results from this don’t come overnight.)
Respond to Invitations
Be receptive to opportunities that arise and actively participate. It’s not up to you to make things happen but it is up to you to say yes to the right things.
Speak Up
Don’t wait to be asked for your insight or opinion. Offer your insights and knowledge generously, even if you’re not explicitly invited. They might not always be considered, but sometimes they will be exactly right.
Trust Your Unique Path
Your worth isn’t measured by how much you do, but by the innovative approach you bring. Trust that you’re always on the right path even if it doesn’t make sense from the outside.
Strategize & Delegate
Delegate and outsource what you can, to preserve your energy. Consider working with a Generator or Manifesting Generator to handle outreach tasks.
Reflectors: The Mirrors
Strategy: To Find Clarity
Reflectors are like mirrors, reflecting both the well-being of their community and business. Your environment greatly affects you, so you must intentionally seek out supportive environments that align with your beliefs. Time and space are also essential for your decision-making process. Reflectors need time to step back and consider their options. You should seek workplaces that encourage thoughtful decision-making.
Business Ideas for Reflectors:
- Freelancing: Working on your own schedule and pace works well for you.
- Flexibility Business Models: Reflectors need businesses that offer autonomy and time for thought.
- Community-building: You are very community-minded and excel at rallying people around a common theme or goal.
- Strategy or consulting: Working independently and having a lot of time to think is perfect for you.
- Advisory roles
- Anything that gives you flexibility and time for reflection
Business & Career Strategies For Reflectors:
As a Reflector, your unique strength lies in your ability to experience life fully and share your insights with the world.
Wait for Clarity
It takes a full lunar cycle for you to have enough information to make a decision. So aim to take as much time as possible to reflect on your experiences and gain clarity before making decisions.
Surround Yourself with Inspiration
Vibes are real, but that’s extra true for you. Seek out people who inspire and appreciate you–even if it’s just on your Instagram feed for now.
Cultivate A Relaxing Office/Home
Since you are largely affected by your environment, it’s important that you seek out or create a space that feels good.
Create and Share When Inspired
Let your creativity flow and share your insights with the world whenever you feel inspired.
Trust Your Unique Vision
Don’t feel pressured to conform to industry standards! You’re not like the rest of the crowd so don’t try to blend in. Instead, express what’s real for you and the right people will notice.
Hire, Automate and Delegate
The name of your game is preserving your energy for what’s important. So hire out what you can and use both technology and delegating tasks to free up your time.
Prioritize Rest and Reflection
Rest is essential for your well-being–and you need more than the average bear. Build time for self-care and introspection into your daily routine for best results.
Collaborate Smart
Understand your strengths and try to collaborate with people who will complement you, like Generators or Manifesting Generators.
