  Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
• 0:05
  helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
• 0:09
  flow without sacrificing results.
• 0:11
  Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
• 0:15
  according to your human design.
• 0:17
  I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
• 0:22
  Hi everyone.
• 0:23
  It's Nicole.
• 0:24
  I just wanted to take a minute to introduce the episode that
• 0:26
  you're about to listen to.
• 0:27
  This is one of our encore episodes, the last of our encore episodes.
• 0:31
  We will be back with a brand new episode next time, but this is our
• 0:35
  last encore episode that we have for you as we take a little tiny little
• 0:38
  break here in the middle of the summer.
• 0:40
  This episode is on illuminating Your Zone of Genius through Human Design,
• 0:45
  and really what this is about.
• 0:48
  Is about blending your human design genius with your business genius.
• 0:55
  What does that really take?
• 0:57
  And if you've signed up for a million certifications and you have accumulated
• 1:02
  skills and experience, yet not been able to sell that zone of genius,
• 1:09
  chances are you're either a little too broad in what you're doing.
• 1:12
  Maybe you're a little scared or you are not really honing in on
• 1:18
  what your true zone of genius is.
• 1:21
  You're focusing only on the skills and you're not focusing on any of your magic.
• 1:24
  So embodying your zone of genius is really what we are breaking down in this
• 1:29
  episode, and I think you'll find it hugely helpful if you are looking to incorporate
• 1:34
  human design into your business.
• 1:37
  We are also running a very, very big sale here in the middle of
• 1:40
  the summer, Christmas in July.
• 1:42
  We are bringing you some of our most blowout deals on some of our most
• 1:46
  popular and well received programs and courses, and we actually even
• 1:50
  have a private coaching offer with me that is being offered right now.
• 1:54
  As well.
• 1:55
  If you're interested in seeing what those deals are, all you have to do
• 1:58
  is DM me the word July on Instagram.
• 2:01
  I'm at Nicole Laino official, or go to Nicole Laino dot com slash july and you
• 2:07
  can get the deals right there and you can see a new one pops up every single
• 2:11
  day during the sale, and then you have a few days to make a decision after
• 2:14
  all of the deals have been released.
• 2:17
  Okay.
• 2:17
  I hope that you look to buy one of those because 10% of all sales during
• 2:22
  our Christmas and July sale will go to flood victims here in central Texas.
• 2:28
  I live here in central Texas and I was on vacation with my family in California
• 2:32
  and my heart was very much still here with the families, with all of the
• 2:37
  people who are still missing, and how much this must be breaking all of them.
• 2:42
  We wanna do our small part.
• 2:43
  So 10% of all sales from this sale.
• 2:46
  Will go to central Texas flood relief.
• 2:50
  So your money will go to a good place if you do choose to purchase now.
• 2:54
  So I hope you do.
• 2:56
  I hope you enjoy this episode and we'll see you in a new
• 2:58
  one again just in a few days.
• 3:00
  Thanks.
• 3:01
  Hello, welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
• 3:05
  I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and this is sort of like a second part to the previous
• 3:10
  episode that we just did on attracting your soulmate clients with human design.
• 3:15
  You should listen to these together, I suggest.
• 3:17
  If you haven't listened to that one, go back, listen to that one, we're going
• 3:20
  to make some references to it in here, because we're going to talk about finding
• 3:24
  your unique genius and discovering your brilliance through human design.
• 3:29
  And how it can reveal your zone of genius.
• 3:33
  So if you've ever read that book, The Big Leap, it was basically all
• 3:37
  built around being in your zone of genius and what keeps us out of it.
• 3:42
  There were a lot of concepts in there.
• 3:43
  If you haven't read that book, it's fantastic.
• 3:45
  And you can read it real fast.
• 3:47
  It's not huge.
• 3:48
  It's a pretty slim book, but packed full of really valuable eye
• 3:53
  opening ahas in that book than a lot of other books that I've read.
• 3:57
  Very succinct.
• 3:58
  But the concept of Zone of Genius really came from that book.
• 4:02
  That by people living solely in their Zone of Genius, and really
• 4:06
  focusing their efforts in not their Zone of Excellence, not their Zone of
• 4:10
  Competence, and certainly not their Zone of Incompetence, that when you
• 4:14
  focus in your Zone of Genius, we could call that alignment, right?
• 4:19
  Focusing on the thing and having laser focus and staying in your lane, and
• 4:23
  your lane is your zone of genius.
• 4:24
  This is what I am better than anybody else at.
• 4:29
  This is what I am a master at.
• 4:32
  And what can often come from traditional branding when we're trying to build
• 4:38
  a business and we're trying to create offers, and annoying coaches like me
• 4:44
  are telling you to go back and get more specific about your message.
• 4:47
  There can be this temptation to go and do market research and
• 4:51
  do whatever those people say.
• 4:54
  But if you're doing market research and you're paying attention to the
• 4:56
  problems that are out there, you're building your strategic message.
• 4:59
  You still have to come back and say, how does what I do fit into that?
• 5:04
  How am I uniquely positioned to provide some greater value
• 5:09
  than most anyone else will?
• 5:13
  That's the power of really knowing who you are.
• 5:16
  You can't skip that part.
• 5:18
  You can't skip the part where you really dig into what your zone of genius is.
• 5:23
  Otherwise then you live in your zone of competence or your zone of excellence.
• 5:28
  Your zone of competence is going to be the stuff that you can do.
• 5:31
  You don't really feel like you're super great at it.
• 5:34
  Your zone of excellence is going to be things that you're really pretty good at.
• 5:37
  You're probably better than a lot of people at it, but it's not your genius.
• 5:41
  Your genius is where everything in the world just tunes out and
• 5:45
  you're like, I'm so good at this, I can do this with my eyes closed.
• 5:50
  I can do this better than anyone.
• 5:52
  I could do it forever without really getting tired of it.
• 5:56
  I could just do this because it's so aligned with who I am, with how I'm
• 6:01
  built, with whatever skills I've acquired.
• 6:04
  This is that magic moment where everything that I've learned and everything
• 6:08
  I've become, becomes what I do and now I can help other people with it.
• 6:14
  So in the last episode we talked about the client attraction piece.
• 6:18
  How understanding the people that are part of this journey called your life can help
• 6:24
  you, and it does connect with your genius.
• 6:27
  You start to understand exactly who can benefit from your genius.
• 6:31
  But also maybe being around these people, working with these people, talking to
• 6:36
  these people that you have been around all the time, if you're doing the work
• 6:39
  with them, if you are surrounding yourself with them, if you are in the right places
• 6:44
  at the right times with those people, it will support your zone of genius.
• 6:49
  It will support your mission and purpose in this life, which is kind
• 6:54
  of what we're all looking for, right?
• 6:56
  I don't want to work for a big company.
• 6:58
  I don't want to be beholden to anybody else.
• 7:01
  I want to be this self actualized person living a fulfilled life that I
• 7:06
  feel is in alignment with the greater purpose that I have on this earth.
• 7:11
  So many people, when I do human design readings, when I talk with people at
• 7:14
  events, when I have sales calls with people, people book clarity calls
• 7:18
  with me and we have conversations.
• 7:21
  I always ask what their desires are and I'm going to say nine out of ten
• 7:26
  times there's something about, I live and work in alignment with my purpose.
• 7:31
  And I'm helping people, but the problem with that, and the reason
• 7:36
  that they're booking a design reading with me is because they're like, I
• 7:39
  don't really know what my purpose is.
• 7:42
  And when I say I want to help, it's things like, I want to
• 7:45
  help women feel more empowered.
• 7:48
  And that's not specific enough.
• 7:49
  You're still feeling around in the dark a little bit with that.
• 7:52
  So we're looking for the information of human design to
• 7:56
  answer that question for us.
• 7:59
  And the perspective I have is that human design starts to illuminate
• 8:05
  the path that will start to explain how this all comes together for you.
• 8:12
  It's very rarely, I make this change and everything is better.
• 8:17
  You just start asking better questions about what your purpose path looks like.
• 8:21
  And you start to get asked very specific questions.
• 8:24
  So it can be very difficult to be specific when you don't
• 8:28
  quite know what your purpose is.
• 8:30
  You might know what you've studied.
• 8:32
  And this happened with me, I studied EFT and NLP, through my own healing I felt
• 8:39
  like I was called to do this work, so I studied emotional freedom technique, I
• 8:44
  studied neuro linguistic programming, why?
• 8:47
  Because I had my own issues with the way that I thought with my limiting
• 8:50
  beliefs, particularly around money, my emotions, dealing with my emotions.
• 8:55
  And now that I know that I'm an emotional authority, that makes so much sense.
• 8:59
  And having a tool like EFT to be able to work through my emotions
• 9:03
  moment to moment is priceless.
• 9:06
  But me selling EFT, that wasn't really working.
• 9:10
  I didn't have a specific enough message.
• 9:13
  I didn't know exactly how I was going to do it.
• 9:15
  And that's what happens with a lot of these certifications.
• 9:17
  We go and we acquire all of these skills and then you think the
• 9:21
  skill is going to sell itself, but it's you that people are buying.
• 9:26
  They trust you to help them with a very personal transformation.
• 9:32
  If you're in this transformational coaching space, think about
• 9:35
  how personal a journey it is.
• 9:37
  The people are going to have to get very vulnerable with you.
• 9:39
  There are other people who teach what you teach, who do what you do.
• 9:43
  But only one person is going to do it like you.
• 9:46
  But how do you understand that?
• 9:47
  How do you understand deeply what your zone of genius is?
• 9:51
  We have this big realm of personal development.
• 9:53
  We have this big realm of online coaching.
• 9:56
  We have this big realm of online services and service providers.
• 10:01
  We have this huge industry.
• 10:03
  How do we carve out our little niche in it?
• 10:05
  How do we do that?
• 10:07
  We do that like we talked about in the last episode, which is helping the
• 10:10
  right people and starting to tailor our message to the right people.
• 10:14
  But then we also have this other aspect of doing what we were born to do.
• 10:19
  So what are you born to do?
• 10:20
  And how do you find that in the human design chart?
• 10:23
  Now, our genius is a combination of everything.
• 10:26
  So when I'm in a reading with somebody, what am I looking for?
• 10:29
  I'm looking for all sorts of things, and I'm looking at the entire chart together.
• 10:33
  So it's never one element in isolation.
• 10:37
  But genius does come down to the incarnation cross in a lot of ways.
• 10:43
  And this is where I think the Gene Keys is incredibly beneficial.
• 10:48
  Because human design gives us that mechanical process.
• 10:51
  How do I know that I'm in alignment moment to moment?
• 10:53
  As a manifesting generator, I know that I have to be saying yes from my sacral,
• 10:59
  not from my mind, in order to be in flow and in alignment with my purpose.
• 11:06
  In order to be saying yes to the right things so that my purpose unfolds.
• 11:10
  I know that I need to wait out my decisions through my emotional wave.
• 11:14
  And understanding that the mechanics of it.
• 11:17
  Help me not get caught in my mind.
• 11:19
  But then there's this other element of it because what human design will tell you
• 11:23
  is that if you follow your strategy and authority, your purpose will just unfold.
• 11:27
  And that's true, but if we want it to go faster and if we want to start to
• 11:34
  dive into the more feminine side of it and understanding ourselves, not just
• 11:39
  if we're following our aligned path through our strategy and authority.
• 11:44
  But to start answering some of those questions, and honestly telling
• 11:48
  us the work that we have to do.
• 11:51
  Because it is work.
• 11:52
  Human design is just showing us what our potential is.
• 11:56
  So when I'm doing a reading with somebody and I'm sitting down, whether I'm doing
• 11:59
  a foundational reading where I'm telling them how their energy works, or I'm going
• 12:02
  into a business reading where I'm giving them the breakdown of their entire chart
• 12:08
  and what all of those activations mean and how it relates to their business and
• 12:12
  their message, no matter which one I'm doing, I am looking at the whole chart.
• 12:16
  We break down the ingredients of the recipe and we look at them all.
• 12:21
  But then we have to cook them and simmer them together and figure out
• 12:23
  what does this dish come together as.
• 12:27
  Because the ingredients themselves are not enough on their own.
• 12:32
  You're going to have to combine them and put them together and simmer
• 12:37
  them or freeze them or whatever needs to happen in order for the chemical
• 12:42
  reaction to happen so that it becomes the dish that we set out to make.
• 12:47
  Your chart is the meal that you are.
• 12:49
  It is the culmination of all of it, but the ingredients matter.
• 12:55
  Understanding what your ingredients are inform and tell you what
• 12:58
  the dish is going to become.
• 13:00
  So I'm looking at everything together, but when I break it down and I say, what's
• 13:04
  the piece that's going to help somebody really connect to their innate genius.
• 13:11
  What's the work that you have to do?
• 13:13
  The work of your incarnation cross is going to give you the greatest bang
• 13:16
  for your buck in this department.
• 13:18
  And it's what I'm always coming back to with my clients.
• 13:22
  So inside my Business by Design Mentorship, everybody gets a foundational
• 13:25
  reading, they get a business reading, and then we have weekly calls where
• 13:29
  we're constantly working on bringing this all together and bringing their
• 13:33
  design into a high expression so it can become this really powerful message
• 13:37
  and this really powerful business.
• 13:39
  Now, in Monday's episode I touched on the concept of helping an
• 13:44
  earlier version of ourselves.
• 13:46
  That our chart tells us where we started in life and it tells us where we're
• 13:51
  going and it tells us the viewpoint that we've had throughout that entire journey.
• 13:55
  So there's a reason that we tend to end up helping an earlier version of ourselves.
• 14:00
  And if you're listening to this and you're coaching or something, you've
• 14:03
  probably done that where your avatar started out as some older version of you.
• 14:09
  And that keeps evolving over time.
• 14:11
  But, you have to have helped that earlier version of yourself.
• 14:15
  You have to have overcome something in order to help
• 14:18
  someone else overcome something.
• 14:21
  You can't be stuck in the same spot.
• 14:24
  So what does that journey look like?
• 14:25
  What's the work going to look like?
• 14:27
  And I think the Gene Keys has done this amazing job of giving the conscious sun
• 14:32
  gate the title of being your life's work.
• 14:38
  The work you're going to have to do the most in your life on yourself is is
• 14:42
  going to be around your conscious sun.
• 14:45
  Because if your conscious sun is living in the shadow, then your light, which
• 14:52
  is what your conscious sun represents, the light you shine in this world will
• 14:56
  be dim because it's in the shadow.
• 15:00
  And then you're casting a shadow out, and not the light that you are trying to.
• 15:06
  So your genius lies in all four of those gates.
• 15:10
  It's in the conscious sun, the conscious earth, the unconscious
• 15:13
  sun, and the unconscious earth.
• 15:16
  But that conscious sun gate is the crux of all of it.
• 15:21
  We start there for a reason.
• 15:23
  It's the first stop on the train.
• 15:25
  Why?
• 15:26
  Because if that is in shadow, it's going to throw off all the rest of it.
• 15:31
  It's the biggest energy in your chart.
• 15:33
  It's the biggest representation of you.
• 15:35
  And it's going to show you what your life's work is.
• 15:38
  Now we often misinterpret that as being, this is my brand.
• 15:42
  This is what I have to put out there.
• 15:45
  You're missing something.
• 15:47
  It's called your life's work because it is the work you are going to
• 15:51
  have to do throughout your life.
• 15:55
  This will make you an expert in this particular topic more than anything else.
• 16:05
  It will naturally become the work that you put out naturally in your life.
• 16:11
  If you've done the work.
• 16:13
  If you haven't done the work, if you're just looking for a definition of that gate
• 16:18
  and then you try to slap it on an offer.
• 16:22
  My conscious sun gate is the gate of confusion.
• 16:25
  Try that on for size.
• 16:26
  When you're just looking for an answer and someone tells you that Conscious
• 16:30
  Sun gate is going to be your brand.
• 16:31
  And then you look at it and you say, it's the gate of confusion.
• 16:36
  What?
• 16:37
  Or maybe you have gate three, which is actually coming up right now.
• 16:40
  Gate three, the gate of limitation.
• 16:42
  My brand is limitation?
• 16:47
  My brand is confusion?
• 16:51
  It doesn't sound terribly empowering.
• 16:52
  And that's where it started.
• 16:54
  I was like, well, how's my brand the gate of confusion?
• 16:56
  My brand is confusion?
• 16:58
  No.
• 16:59
  Then I looked at the city and the city is illumination.
• 17:01
  Okay.
• 17:01
  That one I can work with illumination.
• 17:06
  What do I have to illuminate?
• 17:09
  I have to do the work to start to understand how I help people.
• 17:14
  I had to dive into, what does Gate 64 mean to me?
• 17:20
  What has my journey been with confusion and imagination and illumination?
• 17:25
  Now I have landed on the fact that I am here to illuminate a new way.
• 17:30
  I'm here to shine a light and to help people see greater possibility.
• 17:35
  But I had to see greater possibility for myself before I could slap that
• 17:39
  on an offer or say that with any sort of confidence in a show like this.
• 17:43
  Whether you're my person or not, and you're receiving that is a different
• 17:46
  story, but I wouldn't have been able to say that before with real confidence
• 17:50
  that resonated from me, where that came out as being like, yeah, I think she
• 17:54
  actually can help people with that.
• 17:56
  That is what I do.
• 17:58
  Why?
• 17:58
  Because that is my life's work.
• 18:01
  But I have taken on that work.
• 18:06
  I have done the work.
• 18:08
  You cannot live and build a business around the potential of your life's
• 18:13
  work if you have not done the work.
• 18:17
  And that's where people get stuck.
• 18:19
  So they do a reading and they get the answer and then they walk
• 18:22
  away and they're like, why can't I fit this into my business?
• 18:24
  I'm so confused.
• 18:25
  I don't know how to do this.
• 18:27
  It's the reason my program's a year.
• 18:29
  I It's the reason that we nurture you through the transformational process
• 18:36
  of forgetting who you've always been, that is not aligned with who you are.
• 18:41
  Doing the work that is aligned with your design and becoming this newer, higher
• 18:48
  version of yourself that was always there, but now we've chipped away and we
• 18:54
  have opened up and unlocked those closed doors, those locked gates within you.
• 19:00
  Now you can shine differently.
• 19:02
  There are no more doors closed that are blocking your light.
• 19:06
  Someone asks you a question about that work.
• 19:09
  Somebody asks me about confusion.
• 19:10
  I can talk to you about confusion.
• 19:12
  I can give you a million ways to Sunday to get out of confusion.
• 19:15
  I understand it better than anybody else, unless you've got that gate
• 19:19
  and you've done the work too.
• 19:22
  This is a key theme for me.
• 19:23
  So if you need help getting out of confusion, if you need clarity, I am
• 19:28
  confident I can help you get there.
• 19:31
  And I am not rocked when someone comes in my world and they get confused.
• 19:37
  Because, girl, I've been there.
• 19:39
  But I also understand how to illuminate the way out of it.
• 19:45
  That's the power of doing the work.
• 19:48
  That's the power of going deep.
• 19:51
  so, thank you so much for being here.
• 19:53
  I hope this helped you understand how you can illuminate your own journey
• 19:56
  of stepping into your zone of genius.
• 19:58
  So that you can speak with as much conviction and confidence as I
• 20:01
  do about my ability to get people out of confusion and get them
• 20:04
  clarity that they are looking for.
• 20:06
  It's my specialty.
• 20:08
