Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
0:17
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:22
Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design.
0:24
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Leno, and we're here, just the two of us, today, and we're going to be talking to our projector friends, or we're going to be talking about them.
0:32
Nicole Laino: Maybe you're not a projector, but you're interested in this because you got a projector husband like I do, or you got a projector kid like I do, or you have a projector mom like I do, or maybe you work with projectors like I do.
0:44
Nicole Laino: I am surrounded by projectors.
0:46
Nicole Laino: If you haven't even.
0:47
Nicole Laino: My dog's a projector.
0:48
Nicole Laino: I have two dogs.
0:48
Nicole Laino: One's a reflector, one's a projector.
0:50
Nicole Laino: I'm surrounded by projectors in my life, and I'm fascinated by.
0:56
Nicole Laino: By the projector population.
0:58
Nicole Laino: I have seen them in all walks of life.
1:00
Nicole Laino: I have seen them with all different levels of energy.
1:03
Nicole Laino: I've seen how diverse the projector population is.
1:08
Nicole Laino: And I wanted to do an episode.
1:11
Nicole Laino: What we're going to do, this is going to be a quick one.
1:12
Nicole Laino: We can get you in and out of here pretty quick.
1:15
Nicole Laino: Because what I'm going to say is going to be like, we're going to get in and get out.
1:18
Nicole Laino: We're going to just really hit it right from the start.
1:21
Nicole Laino: But there's like, a real truth about projectors and what's really holding them back, right?
1:26
Nicole Laino: There are some wildly successful projectors out there.
1:30
Nicole Laino: In fact, as you know, if you are a projector, if you've been following human design for a while and you've done any sort of reading, what you probably know, at bare minimum, is that is their signature is success.
1:42
Nicole Laino: Projectors are here to be successful.
1:46
Nicole Laino: I'm a manifesting generator.
1:48
Nicole Laino: I am here to be at peace and to be satisfied, not necessarily successful.
1:53
Nicole Laino: Peace and satisfaction will probably give me good things in life, give me more to feel satisfied by, but success not guaranteed.
2:01
Nicole Laino: The only one of all the types that is wired for success, that it's part of their makeup, it's part of their destiny.
2:09
Nicole Laino: It's what they're here for.
2:11
Nicole Laino: It's what makes them aligned.
2:13
Nicole Laino: It is what makes them like, because your human design signature, what it's telling you is like when you are bang on with this signature, you are on the path of where you belong in this life.
2:23
Nicole Laino: The only type whose signature so their path in life, the green light of everything is whether or not they are successful, they feel successful, is a projector.
2:35
Nicole Laino: So why are so many projectors struggling?
2:38
Nicole Laino: Well, that's exactly what we're going to talk about.
2:40
Nicole Laino: I'm going to talk about what really is holding most projectors back.
2:43
Nicole Laino: So if you're a projector and you don't feel successful right now, I'm going to talk to you a little bit about what I see.
2:49
Nicole Laino: The number one thing that I see that's holding projectors back.
2:53
Nicole Laino: Okay, before we get started, I do want to mention that if human design interests you, if human design and meshing it with your business, if conversations like this one, if you saw the title to this episode and you were like, I need to listen to that.
3:08
Nicole Laino: Whether you're a projector or you're not, and you were drawn in by this, then I have something that's like a great, like perfect next step for you.
3:16
Nicole Laino: If you're looking to like, if you're like, I want to really incorporate this, but I don't know how.
3:21
Nicole Laino: We've created something called the Human Design Authority Lab.
3:24
Nicole Laino: What this is, this is human design for business.
3:28
Nicole Laino: So all of that, like everything that I talk about on this show, but put into a membership so it's super affordable.
3:35
Nicole Laino: And what we're doing in there, our mandate in there and our mission in there is to help you be to take more aligned action, to be in your signature more, to be doing things that will make you successful regardless of your type.
3:50
Nicole Laino: So how do we do that?
3:51
Nicole Laino: Where we're keeping you in alignment with who you are and who you're meant to be, but we're also keeping you out there in the world where people can see it.
3:58
Nicole Laino: So if you're a projector, are you putting yourself out there so that you are getting recognized by people so you feel successful and you're not bitter?
4:07
Nicole Laino: Are you a manifester?
4:08
Nicole Laino: So you're following what vision you have and you're really putting it out there.
4:12
Nicole Laino: So we're covering all of that.
4:13
Nicole Laino: That is what the whole purpose of this membership is.
4:17
Nicole Laino: We're doing monthly masterclasses with me where I'm hosting a brand new masterclass every single month where I'm going to give you a new topic, we're going to dive into some other aspect of human design and business and bringing it all together and then we're going to have co working sessions and all these cool things to help you actually implement it in the world.
4:32
Nicole Laino: We're not interested in helping you, just learn more about human design, although there will be plenty of that.
4:37
Nicole Laino: We're interested in putting you into action around human design and putting yourself out there.
4:42
Nicole Laino: Because too many of us, I find too many people are waiting for somebody to knock on their door and be like, excuse me, does somebody who teaches breathwork live here?
4:52
Nicole Laino: They think that people are just going to find them without putting anything out.
4:57
Nicole Laino: And that has not been my experience.
4:59
Nicole Laino: Usually we have to tell people what we do.
5:01
Nicole Laino: We have to put ourselves out there.
5:03
Nicole Laino: And if you want the big success and you want people to be finding you and you want to put your magic out in the world, that's really what it is.
5:10
Nicole Laino: Living your purpose in this life is showing up for it.
5:15
Nicole Laino: And that's what this membership is going to help you do.
5:17
Nicole Laino: Find the authority in you put it out in the world.
5:21
Nicole Laino: Okay, so if you're interested, this is something that everybody can afford.
5:25
Nicole Laino: We've made this super duper affordable and it's going to be highly valuable.
5:29
Nicole Laino: So if you're Interested, go to nicolelaino.comlab or go to Instagram.
5:36
Nicole Laino: DM me the word lab on Instagram.
5:38
Nicole Laino: I'm icoleno official and we'll send you the details there.
5:41
Nicole Laino: We have founding member pricing right now.
5:43
Nicole Laino: It'll never be cheaper than this again.
5:45
Nicole Laino: So this is the time to get in.
5:46
Nicole Laino: Okay, super excited about this.
5:49
Nicole Laino: Okay, let's talk about projectors now.
5:52
Nicole Laino: Projectors for everybody who doesn't know projector.
5:54
Nicole Laino: What makes you a projector is that you do not have a sacral center defined.
5:58
Nicole Laino: You do not have a motor to the throat.
6:00
Nicole Laino: Those two things will make you a projector.
6:03
Nicole Laino: But you have at least two centers defined.
6:05
Nicole Laino: You have at least one channel in your defined.
6:08
Nicole Laino: So you're not a reflector with a completely open chart.
6:11
Nicole Laino: You're not a manifestor because you don't have a motor to the throat and you're not a generator or a manifesting generator.
6:16
Nicole Laino: Because you do not have a sacral center defined.
6:18
Nicole Laino: It makes you a projector.
6:20
Nicole Laino: It means that energy is something that is not yours.
6:25
Nicole Laino: As far as like how you initiate things, the way that you take action is going to be you're waiting for other people's energy to kind of guide it.
6:33
Nicole Laino: Okay, so most common knowledge about projectors is that and all non sacrals.
6:40
Nicole Laino: But manifestors are sort of in a category of their own because they are motorized, they are here to initiate.
6:46
Nicole Laino: They have more energy than like a reflector, necessarily more.
6:52
Nicole Laino: And none of it is consistent.
6:54
Nicole Laino: But they have had a little more power.
6:56
Nicole Laino: Right.
6:56
Nicole Laino: And we tend to think about them that way, like manifesto.
6:58
Nicole Laino: They do what they want when they want to, and they don't.
7:01
Nicole Laino: When they don't feel like it, they don't do anything at all.
7:03
Nicole Laino: That's like an aligned manifestor.
7:06
Nicole Laino: And then we have reflectors where they have this, you know, just almost like a completely different life experience every day.
7:13
Nicole Laino: Like, every day is just this new bag of whatever is happening.
7:17
Nicole Laino: And it's like, oh, and.
7:18
Nicole Laino: And it's so much about how they feel.
7:19
Nicole Laino: And they're taking in so much from, like the outside world.
7:22
Nicole Laino: They're like sampling the life buffet all the time.
7:25
Nicole Laino: And then we have these projectors.
7:27
Nicole Laino: And most of the time, when you're reading about human design, there's this stigma, incorrect thinking or something about that.
7:35
Nicole Laino: Projectors don't have energy.
7:37
Nicole Laino: Bullshit.
7:38
Nicole Laino: Projectors have plenty of energy.
7:40
Nicole Laino: In fact, some of them are some of the most energetic people that I know.
7:44
Nicole Laino: What projectors don't have is sustainable energy.
7:48
Nicole Laino: So that feeling of like going and going and going.
7:51
Nicole Laino: They need breaks.
7:53
Nicole Laino: They need to preserve their energy more than put it out.
7:57
Nicole Laino: But it doesn't mean that they can't put things out.
8:00
Nicole Laino: So when I say.
8:01
Nicole Laino: And I titled the episode, you know that this is going to be about what holds most projectors back.
8:06
Nicole Laino: So if you're a projector, what you might be experiencing, and I've seen this a lot with clients and people that I've worked with, both privately and in business by design, where I'm working really closely with people.
8:16
Nicole Laino: You know, we have weekly calls, we're in telegram together.
8:19
Nicole Laino: I'm working really closely with them where I can see their patterns.
8:22
Nicole Laino: And that's my job and that's what I want.
8:25
Nicole Laino: And I see what happens is that when something doesn't work for a projector or something stops working, like, we're seeing a lot of things shift in the business market right now.
8:34
Nicole Laino: We're seeing strategies that once worked not working as successfully as they did at one point.
8:40
Nicole Laino: And the minute a projector starts to not feel successful, then that's the snowball.
8:47
Nicole Laino: You start to not feel successful as a projector.
8:50
Nicole Laino: You're putting out.
8:51
Nicole Laino: Even if you're not bitter, the bitterness is like, it's not working.
8:55
Nicole Laino: It's not working, it's not working.
8:57
Nicole Laino: There is that desperate energy that when projectors have that it's not magnetic.
9:03
Nicole Laino: It's repelling.
9:05
Nicole Laino: It will be something that people are not.
9:07
Nicole Laino: They're not seeking you out, doesn't mean they won't like you anymore.
9:10
Nicole Laino: But we don't want to be liked.
9:11
Nicole Laino: You want to be recognized, you want to be asked, you want to be invited, right?
9:16
Nicole Laino: Well, they're not going to ask you if you're in that kind of energy, especially if you do some sort of guidance work.
9:23
Nicole Laino: If you are a coach, if you are an energetic service provider where they're looking to you for like, you know, for comfort or to make them feel better or to help them through something difficult, if they're sensing that you are in a difficult place and you can't guide yourself through it, then energetically what they're picking up on is like, you're not the person to help me with this.
9:48
Nicole Laino: You gotta be clean.
9:49
Nicole Laino: That's why you need to take care of yourself.
9:52
Nicole Laino: But what happens as we see some of these things?
9:54
Nicole Laino: So that's, I guess there's two things that we're gonna be talking about.
9:57
Nicole Laino: Cause that wasn't it.
9:58
Nicole Laino: That wasn't the number one thing.
10:00
Nicole Laino: But when projectors start to not feel successful, that has a knock on effect in their life.
10:06
Nicole Laino: So as a projector, you kind of have to find ways to feel successful.
10:09
Nicole Laino: How do I feel good about me right now?
10:11
Nicole Laino: How do I feel awesome about me?
10:14
Nicole Laino: And you really have to make that a top priority.
10:18
Nicole Laino: But what happens here?
10:19
Nicole Laino: So what I was getting at was as things change, as things shift like they are in the market right now and people are having to change their strategies, shift the things that they're doing, maybe rewrite something that you have been using for a long time.
10:38
Nicole Laino: Right?
10:39
Nicole Laino: That was feeling kind of cushy, kind of easy, kind of simple.
10:43
Nicole Laino: Like you had a system and a projector loves a good system.
10:46
Nicole Laino: They love a good reliable thing that just feels manageable.
10:51
Nicole Laino: The minute a projector gets that, it's going to feel like, oh my God, like everything is working and all is right with the world.
10:58
Nicole Laino: And the minute it stops working, that's where the success can start to feel far away and like they're not connecting with it.
11:05
Nicole Laino: And then this is the thing that stands in the projector's way.
11:08
Nicole Laino: This is what I see crumble.
11:10
Nicole Laino: So many projectors is it's not the amount of work that they have to do, it's their perceived idea of what they can handle.
11:19
Nicole Laino: Because there is so much talk about projectors and them not having sustainable energy and you know that they need to rest and they need to do all of these things.
11:27
Nicole Laino: You notice I don't really say that stuff on this show.
11:29
Nicole Laino: I speak about it very differently because I don't want that language in the heads of my listeners and the people that come to me for human design guidance, because that's not the game.
11:40
Nicole Laino: And the reason I can say that, because when you hear other people say this stuff or you see stuff on Instagram, I'm gonna get on it here a little bit.
11:48
Nicole Laino: Those are not people that have been doing this very long.
11:51
Nicole Laino: These are people who are reading out of a book and taking something out of a book and putting it on a page or saying it on their podcast to you.
11:57
Nicole Laino: They haven't observed all of these people.
12:00
Nicole Laino: They haven't seen it out in the world.
12:01
Nicole Laino: They haven't lived it long enough to know how this stuff really works.
12:06
Nicole Laino: Projectors are not tired all the time.
12:08
Nicole Laino: But what can tire a projector out is the fretting over the amount of work they perceive or think they have to do.
12:17
Nicole Laino: And then they get in their heads about, well, I can't do that because I'm a projector.
12:20
Nicole Laino: I can't do that because I'm a projector.
12:22
Nicole Laino: I can't do that because I'm a projector.
12:24
Nicole Laino: Yes, you can.
12:25
Nicole Laino: You just can't sustain it for long times.
12:27
Nicole Laino: And you need to build in enough time so that you are not stressing yourself out.
12:33
Nicole Laino: You can't have tight.
12:34
Nicole Laino: And I don't like saying can't.
12:36
Nicole Laino: I don't like that word.
12:37
Nicole Laino: I think that it creates more problems than solutions, buddy.
12:42
Nicole Laino: That tells you know, it has to be some way or it can't be another way.
12:46
Nicole Laino: They're too definite.
12:48
Nicole Laino: They're too finite.
12:51
Nicole Laino: What we want is space in all of this.
12:54
Nicole Laino: It could happen any way you want.
12:57
Nicole Laino: It's how you structure things.
12:59
Nicole Laino: But what I see with a lot of projectors is there's so much anxiety that they haven't cleared from the past.
13:05
Nicole Laino: They haven't gotten over the trauma of the times where they've run themselves into the ground.
13:10
Nicole Laino: They.
13:11
Nicole Laino: And I say this with all the types.
13:12
Nicole Laino: I'm a manifesting generator.
13:14
Nicole Laino: I have to go through.
13:16
Nicole Laino: Like, we also have to remember, like, we've grown since the last time.
13:19
Nicole Laino: We've done a lot of things.
13:20
Nicole Laino: But as a manifesting generator, I've got tons of energy, but I've also wasted that energy and not used it correctly in the past.
13:27
Nicole Laino: So that thinking of tying it to a time when I was out of alignment, like, that doesn't serve me.
13:34
Nicole Laino: And I've had to do Work to unwind those feelings and feel those feelings and move on from them.
13:40
Nicole Laino: I have to regulate after that.
13:42
Nicole Laino: So for projectors, a lot of times it's just them thinking that things won't work.
13:46
Nicole Laino: I can't do it like that.
13:47
Nicole Laino: And then they start to not feel like success is possible.
13:50
Nicole Laino: And therein lies the problem.
13:53
Nicole Laino: And that's where, you know, I'm like begging them, please come see me, because we can work this out.
13:59
Nicole Laino: We can create something that feels supportive for you, that feels doable for you, and a system that is sustainable for you.
14:08
Nicole Laino: Do I suggest that projectors do nine day launches like I do and do them every six to eight weeks?
14:15
Nicole Laino: No.
14:15
Nicole Laino: I'm a manifesting generator and that was too much for me.
14:18
Nicole Laino: It's too much.
14:20
Nicole Laino: Could you do it once if you wanted to kick things off?
14:22
Nicole Laino: Sure.
14:23
Nicole Laino: But you would schedule some real downtime after that and we would really work how we structured that whole thing.
14:30
Nicole Laino: So you had lots of time in between and you had like, that's the only thing you're doing that day.
14:36
Nicole Laino: There's nothing that you can't do.
14:38
Nicole Laino: There's only ways that you can run yourself into the ground or ways that you can support yourself.
14:43
Nicole Laino: And there's choices that we make, understanding what your energetic capacity is and what will make you feel successful and all of that.
14:51
Nicole Laino: So it's the way that we approach these things.
14:53
Nicole Laino: There's never, it's never the thing, it's how you structure the thing.
14:58
Nicole Laino: I always say that, like people ask me all the time, I'm a projector, can I have a podcast?
15:02
Nicole Laino: Of course you can have a podcast.
15:03
Nicole Laino: In fact, I highly recommend it because there is no better place to put your wisdom, which is how projectors draw people in and get them and magnetize them to them is through things like, you know, longer form content where you can really build rapport and a connection with your audience.
15:23
Nicole Laino: So yes, absolutely, projectors can have that.
15:25
Nicole Laino: Are you going to do three episodes a week?
15:27
Nicole Laino: Probably not.
15:29
Nicole Laino: That probably won't feel great.
15:30
Nicole Laino: Maybe it will.
15:31
Nicole Laino: I don't know what you're like, but we want to make these decisions not from fear, but from true alignment and understanding.
15:40
Nicole Laino: Like, this is how I want to be recognized, is how you can put yourself out there and then you make choices.
15:47
Nicole Laino: Do you do a weekly podcast, but then you're making sure that you're structuring your week.
15:52
Nicole Laino: Time management is one of the most important things for a projector because it isn't about the time, it's about building in enough time between things that you're able to recover and recharge.
16:04
Nicole Laino: Like, I don't have to do that as much as a manifesting generator projectors do, but they get in their head that I can't do that because that's going to drain me.
16:14
Nicole Laino: That's the thing that's killing your success.
16:17
Nicole Laino: That's the thing that is holding you back.
16:19
Nicole Laino: You have to let go of those preconceived notions and be open to looking at things with fresh eyes.
16:26
Nicole Laino: Deal with any small t trauma you have from times when you did not listen to your body, because that's probably what happened in the past when you burned out is you didn't stop when your body said stop.
16:37
Nicole Laino: That's the danger.
16:39
Nicole Laino: Are you wiser now?
16:41
Nicole Laino: Do you have somebody in your corner who can call you out about when you are not paying attention to what your body is telling you and telling you to rest?
16:47
Nicole Laino: Are you not building in time to.
16:50
Nicole Laino: To take care of yourself?
16:51
Nicole Laino: All of these things are going to help you be successful.
16:54
Nicole Laino: Projectors can do anything the rest of us can.
16:57
Nicole Laino: But you're probably just going to do it more efficiently and elegantly than the rest of us, which means you don't have to take as much time as it takes me to do something potentially right?
17:08
Nicole Laino: So projectors, the big headline is don't limit yourself.
17:12
Nicole Laino: Don't limit yourself.
17:13
Nicole Laino: You can do anything if you are listening to your body and your body signals, if you are creating enough space to allow yourself to rest and recharge, if you are stopping and slowing down long enough to feel into things so you actually gain wisdom so you can be recognized for it, those are the priorities.
17:35
Nicole Laino: I would love to see projectors shifting into in 2026.
17:39
Nicole Laino: And if you are one of those and you want to join us in, I mean, if you want real guidance, business by design is for you.
17:45
Nicole Laino: But if you want to jump in and start to really work with this and use the Human Design Lab like a gym to really get in alignment with who you are, where you're putting your wisdom out there and taking action in a way that's in alignment for you.
17:57
Nicole Laino: Join the Human Design Lab.
17:58

18:20
Nicole Laino: I hope you projectors feel empowered that you can do anything in 2026.
18:24
Nicole Laino: The world is your oyster.
18:26
Nicole Laino: You are just going to be like a complete and total Nazi about your time and although that's a really bad word to use right now, but you're going to be so strict about your time and preserving your energy that you don't let anything override it.
18:41
Nicole Laino: No conditioning, no thoughts, no coach, nobody.
18:44
Nicole Laino: You listen to you.
18:46
Nicole Laino: You will find that success finds you when you shift into this.
