That Projector Life

This episode officially kicks off the Projectors in Business series! Yay! This series is all about running a successful business as a projector. So no, I'm not giving you any passes to initiate, work all the time, or do anything else that's unaligned with your energy. #SorryNotSorry. Because honestly, you've been trying that forever, right? Isn't it time you stopped trying what doesn't work and start trying what does? This episode will dive into how you can run your business as a Human Design Projector. I'll share tips and strategies that I've found work for me (a projector) in my 5 years of online business. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes peek at how I run my business and what I do in a day.

The discussion delves into the unique challenges faced by projectors in the manifesting process. It emphasizes the importance of waiting for invitations and making aligned decisions to harness their energy effectively. Strategies tailored specifically for projectors are shared, offering insights on how to navigate manifestation differently than manifestors. Additionally, a free challenge is introduced to further engage with this journey, now enhanced with new features on Patreon.

Finding out your a Human Design Projector is a huge deal. It's life-changing. It can be exciting, difficult, frustrating, or all of the above. For many of us, finding out we're a projector is a shock, but after we start thinking about it, we realize that we are projectors. However, the more we learn about what it is to be a Human Design Projector, the more questions we have. And then we discover that our strategy is to wait for the invitation...and that can leave us feeling helpless and lost. Truly understanding and accepting that we're projectors is a process. Some of us learn we're projectors, and that's it. Acceptance is immediate, and we go on our way. But for others, it's difficult - a long, drawn-out journey that we sometimes try to change. If you're in this last category, this episode is for you. We'll cover Each of the 5 stages of Projector Acceptance My personal experience with each stage The fact that these stages aren't linear Episode Links Become a Patron and get access to exclusive content + early access to TPL episodes!

That Projector Life has some of the best subscribers and listeners ever! (Also, if you're not yet a subscriber to the podcast, be sure to hit the subscribe button.) And the best listeners always have questions (because you're so busy thinking about and applying what I'm talking about to your lives). So in addition to answering your questions via email, Instagram, and Facebook, I'm dedicating a That Projector Life episode to them! The amazing thing about having so many listeners send in questions is that I get to think about and explore topics that I likely wouldn't have thought about on my own. (So thank you for lending me your energy + insights + thoughts so I can create this resource for everyone.) Do you have a question you want me to answer? Feel free to email me (ardelia@thatprojectorlife.com) or message me on Instagram. Episode Links Become a Patron and get access to exclusive content + early access to TPL episodes!

You may have heard me mention the "Not-Self" before. But I've never really gone into what it is. That's where this episode comes in. The not-self is a term we use in Human Design when the mind falsely identifies us as something we're not. (So a projector thinking (and acting like) they're a hard worker - or that they're a worker bee - is the not-self. Because projectors aren't here to work hard all the time. Being a hard worker occasionally is fine. But being a hard worker all day every day is part of the not-self for projectors. Many of us come to Human Design having lived as our not-self our entire lives. We listen to what our society or our families tell us we need to be - a hard worker, an initiator, a go-getter, etc. And then we mentally identify with that. So we spend most of our lives in our not-self, not working with our energy and wondering why things aren't going great. This episode is here to change that. We'll cover The Not-Self theme for each Human Design type The Not-Self theme for each center Figuring out your whole Not-Self theme Steps to distance yourself from your Not-Self theme so you can live in alignment with your energy The books I mentioned but couldn't remember: The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Episode Links Become a Patron and get access to exclusive content + early access to TPL episodes!

It's time for another Human Design chart reading! Following along with me is a great way to improve your Human Design understanding and practice reading charts. This episode will focus on Diana, Princess of Wales. We'll walk through her Human Design chart and look at her energy as well as how that played out in her life. And, just like Former President Barack Obama, Diana is a projector! Ready to follow along with me for this reading of one of Britain's most well-known royals? Here is the birth info I'm using for Diana: July 1, 1961 at 7:45 pm in Sandringham, United Kingdom. Episode Links Become a Patron and get access to exclusive content + early access to TPL episodes!

Pressure! Pushing down on me. Pressing down on you... And likely that pressure is really intense if you have undefined Human Design pressure centers. Remember how we talked about the Human Design energy centers in Episodes 007 and 008? We're diving into two very important (and potentially very frustrating) centers: The head center and the root center. These two centers are pressure centers, which means that they put a lot of pressure on you in their own unique way. Do you constantly (or at least sometimes) feel like you HAVE to answer ALL the questions? Do you feel like you don't deserve to rest...despite working an 8-hour day? If you answered yes to either of those questions, this episode is for you. (I'd also wager that you have at least one undefined pressure center.) But even if you don't have an undefined pressure center, listen in anyway. You probably still feel some pressure, but not to the extent that those of us with undefined pressure centers do.

In our last episode, we talked about 6 business strategies that don't work for Human Design Projectors. Now, we're looking at the strategies that DO work for us! First, let's answer the question that's probably been nagging at you all week: Can projectors run a successful business? The answer: YES!* *You have to use business strategies that enable you to follow your Human Design strategy and authority. So...no initiating. And no working all the time. Now I'm sure you're sitting there like "Ardelia, how can I run a successful business without initiating or working all the time?" To which I reply "Projector Magic!" Seriously, though. Working with your energy, and following these 6 business strategies to do it, can help you live as a projector AND have a business that supports you. While I don't have all the answers - or even all the business strategies for projectors - start with these 6 and then experiment to see which ones work for you. (You're more than welcome to tweak them as needed.) NOTE: I've updated the show notes since this episode first went live. So if you don't see the links that I mentioned in the episode, that's why.

In case you haven't figured it out by now, dearest Projector, your energy doesn't work like the rest of the world's (who are mostly generators, by the way). And that can create a LOT of issues when it comes to starting and running an online business. Because there are a lot of well-intentioned business strategies floating around in the online business world. And they'll all give you clear-cut easy-to-follow steps. They'll all promise to give you the success that you're looking for. And they'll also all likely not be aligned with your projector energy. Why? Because most of the "accepted strategies" that you've probably been following (or have been told to follow by a well-intentioned business coach) don't take into account your Human Design type. A lot of these business strategies tell you to go out and initiate...and projectors just aren't built for that. We CAN initiate, sure. But things don't always go well for us afterward (hence your business struggles). So you've probably been using strategies that work AGAINST your energy. (Hey, I'm guilty of it, too. And yeah, it made me mad + bitter for the better part of a year.) It's time to shine a light on what business strategies don't work for Human Design projectors. We'll cover 7 in this episode, so tune in to learn what doesn't work with your energy. Episode Links Become a Patron and get access to exclusive content + early access to TPL episodes!

We talk a lot about Human Design in general...and especially in technicalities, but we rarely talk about designs manifesting themselves in the real world. Until now. I'll walk you through the steps I'm following in this episode as I break down my design step-by-step from type to channels to show you how each piece of my design supports and aligns with this show. This isn't just me showing off. This is me living out my 1/3 Investigator-Martyr profile and showing you what I've learned along my Human Design Projector journey so far. And because I have such an intimate understanding of my chart and my life, I can easily draw connections between what I'm doing and how that shows up in my chart. So there's a list of steps to follow so that you can do this for yourself with your design. Wondering if your job is aligned for you? Want to know what your purpose is here and how you can follow it? This is the episode for you.
