  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
  Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
• 0:25
  I'm your host, Nicole Lano, and today we're talking to our projectors.
• 0:31
  Hi, I want to talk to you about your path to success.
• 0:35
  Now, whether you are a projector yourself, maybe you are a coach
• 0:40
  who works with projectors and you want to know how to communicate and
• 0:45
  understand really this group of people.
• 0:48
  Projectors are so important to our future as people, as humans.
• 0:53
  Projectors are so valuable to our ecosystem and to all of us, and
• 0:59
  particularly to the generator community.
• 1:01
  But they can only be that valuable.
• 1:04
  They can only rise to their potential if they're really being themselves.
• 1:10
  So it's up to the rest of us also to not put pressure on them to be like us.
• 1:16
  And so today what I want to talk about in this episode, these are some things that
• 1:19
  I've been observing very, very recently.
• 1:22
  Just some things that have been kind of coming up in a lot of our coaching calls.
• 1:25
  Some of the things that I've been helping projectors work through.
• 1:28
  And some of the realizations that I've had, and just trying to put that together
• 1:32
  in an episode because I know we have a lot of projectors and, you know,
• 1:35
  projector friends in this audience.
• 1:38
  And I really think that it's, a valuable thing to understand what
• 1:41
  the projector's path to success actually looks like, because it does
• 1:46
  not look like the generator's path.
• 1:48
  It's different.
• 1:50
  We are different fundamentally.
• 1:52
  Now, I'm only going to get into the episode but I'm going to break
• 1:54
  down how projectors are different.
• 1:56
  I'm going to break down what it is that I see so often is going
• 2:02
  wrong in their lives or why they are burnt out and not making the money
• 2:06
  that they feel that they deserve.
• 2:08
  And there's usually just some tendencies that are at play that
• 2:11
  I see with this group of people.
• 2:12
  And what do we do to shift that?
• 2:14
  And that's what this episode is going to be all about.
• 2:16
  For those of you who are interested in combining their business
• 2:19
  with human design, we have some things that are available to you.
• 2:22
  We actually have, the Cosmic Niche work, intensive was, So valuable.
• 2:27
  People loved it.
• 2:28
  It was such a huge success well, it was always planned to be an evergreen program.
• 2:32
  So that is still available.
• 2:34
  All you have to do is DM me the word niche on Instagram and I will send
• 2:37
  you the link on how you can sign up.
• 2:40
  and purchase that and get started with it right away.
• 2:42
  We've gotten such great feedback from everybody who's taken that program.
• 2:46
  We taught it live, but the recording is available.
• 2:49
  So it is just as valuable in the recorded version as it is in the live version.
• 2:54
  So I hope that you enjoy it.
• 2:55
  I hope if you are building a business and you want it to be a reflection of you.
• 2:59
  Where you want to connect with your soul aligned clients.
• 3:02
  If you want to really start to understand how your business can be
• 3:05
  a reflection of your purpose, then starting with your cosmic niche is
• 3:09
  a really amazing way to do that.
• 3:11
  So I encourage you to take a look at that program.
• 3:13
  DM me the word niche on Instagram.
• 3:15
  We'll send you the info or go to nicolelano.
• 3:17
  com forward slash niche, and you can buy it right there.
• 3:20
  Okay.
• 3:21
  Let's talk about projectors.
• 3:22
  Okay.
• 3:22
  So projectors are different, like I said.
• 3:24
  And let's talk about how they're fundamentally
• 3:26
  different than the rest of us.
• 3:28
  Literally, their energy is different.
• 3:30
  It moves differently.
• 3:32
  It does different things.
• 3:34
  We are all here with a different purpose.
• 3:37
  Projectors, so somebody who has an example I gave in the Cosmic Niche
• 3:41
  Intensive , we were talking about the nodes and we were talking about
• 3:44
  the niche and how that can reflect.
• 3:46
  And I wanted to give some examples.
• 3:48
  And one of the examples that I gave was Bernie Sanders.
• 3:51
  And one of the things that I wanted to pull out of that example was
• 3:55
  Bernie Sanders and I both have the same birthday, many years apart.
• 4:02
  Um, We have the same incarnation cross.
• 4:05
  We have the same nodes even, so lot of similarities and, , and the same profile,
• 4:10
  so lots of similarities between the two of us, but there's also a huge difference.
• 4:17
  I am a manifesting generator with six centers defined and he is a projector.
• 4:24
  He's an ego projector.
• 4:25
  He has two centers defined and that's it.
• 4:28
  Huge difference.
• 4:30
  Not even just in our definition and our openness, but him as a projector,
• 4:35
  what he is here to do is very different than what I am here to do.
• 4:39
  Now, we're driven by different things, even though we have so many
• 4:44
  aspects of our chart in common.
• 4:46
  So that's kind of where the similarities end.
• 4:50
  I'm going to break away from this example, but just to show you that just because you
• 4:54
  have so many things that are the same, if your type is different, the way that you
• 5:00
  will go about living that purpose, the way you will go about living your life, the
• 5:05
  way that things will feel best for you, that you will get the right opportunities
• 5:08
  are going to be different than they are for somebody with a different type.
• 5:12
  The way that projectors find their way in this world is through
• 5:18
  recognition by somebody else.
• 5:21
  By them understanding things about the people around them.
• 5:28
  It's how their energy works.
• 5:30
  A generator who comes into your world.
• 5:34
  Their energy is doing something different generators and manifesting generators
• 5:39
  were here to respond because when we are in response, we're learning
• 5:44
  about what we like, and when we do the things that we like, we become more
• 5:49
  of who we are, which is why what we like drives the action that we take.
• 5:53
  And that is what creates the energetic force around us.
• 5:57
  That is what pulls the things to us to respond to.
• 6:01
  That's how our energy works.
• 6:03
  We have a warm enveloping aura.
• 6:06
  It just feels like it's everywhere.
• 6:08
  It's this big, generators, they say it's like a big hug.
• 6:13
  Manifesting generators.
• 6:14
  I don't know if it necessarily feels huggy.
• 6:18
  We can tend to be a little bit more forceful, have a little bit more
• 6:20
  denseness to our aura, but it's still really big and it still taking
• 6:24
  over, it's still enveloping you.
• 6:29
  That word is so important, a warm enveloping aura.
• 6:33
  But projectors cone shape aura.
• 6:36
  Targeted aura, like an arrow, like a, cone coming out of their body.
• 6:42
  I'm making gestures with my arms right now, but this is a podcast.
• 6:46
  So unless you're watching us on YouTube, you can't see me doing it.
• 6:48
  So I have to give some, some verbal cues here of what I'm doing, but I want
• 6:52
  you to picture like if you had a beam of light coming out from your heart.
• 6:57
  Like if, the energy came across your chest and like a big point of the tip of an
• 7:04
  arrow shooting out and hitting a target, that's projectors, you know, manifestors,
• 7:11
  they have that aura that's pushing things out of their way that is giving them this
• 7:15
  power, this strength, and it's moving differently and it's closer to them.
• 7:20
  And it's pushing in front of them to kind of clear the way, sort of
• 7:23
  how I look at it, like a snowplow.
• 7:25
  We're clearing the way.
• 7:27
  But projectors, this aura, this very targeted, specific aura, is
• 7:34
  picking up things very differently.
• 7:36
  I pull things in with my manifesting generator aura.
• 7:39
  Projectors, you go in.
• 7:42
  You go into other auras, you go into other things, you're not running around,
• 7:49
  if you're in alignment, trying to make things happen, you aren't responding to
• 7:53
  things, literally generators, we can't go to bed at the end of the day, we
• 7:58
  can't sleep, if our energy doesn't get used, if we don't actually work out the
• 8:04
  energy, if we don't do things that we love, We're miserable and we can't rest.
• 8:09
  We don't have energy for the things that we do want to do, and we can't
• 8:12
  rest because we are out of alignment.
• 8:13
  Things aren't working.
• 8:15
  We're not being who we are.
• 8:17
  We're being somebody else.
• 8:18
  Now projectors, you're sensitive to other people's stuff.
• 8:22
  You're sensitive because it's like an empathy.
• 8:25
  It's like an energetic empathy that you have.
• 8:29
  And when you're busy doing other things and not focusing on the other person,
• 8:36
  you're here to know about the other.
• 8:39
  You're here to know about other people.
• 8:41
  If you're not allowing that to happen, you're missing the wisdom.
• 8:44
  The other thing that I see about projectors all the time is projectors,
• 8:48
  when you're so focused on the doing, When you're looking out at the outside
• 8:54
  world and seeing how other people do it, , you often miss your own gifts.
• 8:59
  You miss what makes you special.
• 9:01
  You're trying to produce, you're playing the generator game, as I call it.
• 9:05
  Why?
• 9:05
  Because usually there's generators coaching the game and coaching the team
• 9:10
  and teaching you how to do it that way.
• 9:11
  We have to do stuff.
• 9:13
  We do.
• 9:14
  if you're an entrepreneur, unless you have a really large team that can do a
• 9:18
  lot of the work for you, there's probably going to be work that you have to do.
• 9:24
  But are you choosing the work that you do?
• 9:28
  Is it in alignment with your gifts?
• 9:30
  And a lot of times projectors are so busy that they don't recognize their own gifts.
• 9:34
  And they wonder why nobody recognizes them . They aren't putting out a
• 9:39
  signal that other people can pick up on.
• 9:42
  The most important work that projectors can do is the work
• 9:46
  that they do on themselves.
• 9:48
  To really see themselves, to really fill up from within.
• 9:54
  Now let's talk about this, the projector strategy, okay?
• 9:57
  I see this come up with projectors a lot because they're like, should I do this?
• 10:01
  Should I do this?
• 10:02
  Should I do this?
• 10:03
  I didn't get an invitation yet.
• 10:05
  you don't need an invitation to work.
• 10:08
  You need an invitation into somebody else's energy.
• 10:11
  You need an invitation to tell somebody else what you see.
• 10:14
  That's the invitation.
• 10:15
  Do you have an invitation to help them?
• 10:17
  That's where the invitation comes from.
• 10:19
  Now, can recognition.
• 10:21
  give you some insight into what people might buy from you?
• 10:25
  For sure.
• 10:26
  Yes, absolutely.
• 10:27
  Have I been recognized for it?
• 10:29
  You should absolutely be paying attention to what other people tell you is your
• 10:33
  genius, but that's not all there is.
• 10:36
  And don't feel like if you're not getting that recognition, well, one
• 10:40
  question I would have for you, if you're not getting the recognition
• 10:42
  is, does anybody even see you?
• 10:44
  When, the reason that projectors can be so successful in corporate environments,
• 10:49
  so when they have a job, when they have a structure around them where they're
• 10:52
  showing up every day and showing people who they are, projectors will rise, they
• 10:57
  will get the promotions, they will get the raises, they will get the recognition
• 11:01
  faster than their generator counterparts a lot of times because they're seen.
• 11:07
  , their gifts are recognized and usually they're pretty valuable
• 11:10
  in that type of environment.
• 11:12
  Corporations are riddled with inefficiency and systems that
• 11:17
  don't work and people wasting time doing things that don't matter.
• 11:22
  And projectors are the ones that can see where the break in that system is, where
• 11:28
  people are wasting their time and their energy, where it could be spent better.
• 11:33
  But when we're in the entrepreneurial space, we're not necessarily
• 11:36
  displaying all the time.
• 11:37
  But I do notice with my projector clients, when they show up, people recognize them.
• 11:42
  They get opportunities.
• 11:43
  They get invitations.
• 11:45
  But usually I'm going to say the problem will be that they're not
• 11:49
  showing up in those places enough.
• 11:52
  And we have to look for a balance between preserving our energy, as a projector,
• 11:58
  you do have to preserve your energy, you don't want to be burning yourself
• 12:02
  out, doing all the time, but sharing your wisdom in ways that allows other
• 12:09
  people to see it, recognize it, and then choose you and invite you home.
• 12:14
  That is worth your time.
• 12:16
  That is worth your energy.
• 12:18
  If you want to be recognized for being really awesome at something, you must
• 12:23
  show the world, you must be a lighthouse.
• 12:27
  You must show up that way, or you will feel invisible and you will get bitter.
• 12:32
  That is just how it goes.
• 12:34
  So making those the priority.
• 12:36
  Seeing yourself, recognizing yourself, saying, I'm so awesome at this.
• 12:42
  I am so much the best kept secret in this department.
• 12:46
  I must show people this.
• 12:49
  That's where the energy goes.
• 12:51
  When you choose.
• 12:52
  Or when people are telling you and you're like, yeah, I agree.
• 12:56
  I am kind of a badass at that.
• 12:58
  Then that is your cue to really unveil that to the world.
• 13:04
  Show it to them.
• 13:06
  And don't make it perfect.
• 13:07
  The last thing I want to say about projectors, because
• 13:09
  I want to keep this quick.
• 13:11
  So that people actually listen to this and really get what they need to out of it.
• 13:15
  Your strategy is your protection.
• 13:17
  And that's true for all of us.
• 13:19
  Our strategy is our protection.
• 13:21
  Generators, we can run in the wrong direction for a very long time before
• 13:26
  realizing that we are way off course, particularly my Mani Gen brethren, my
• 13:32
  sisters, we can absolutely do that.
• 13:35
  What saves us is if we're paying attention to our strategy, then we are not doing
• 13:42
  that unless we've truly gotten a response.
• 13:44
  Response saves us, because the mind will tell us we should go here,
• 13:48
  we should do this, and we have the energy to actually do that.
• 13:52
  Okay, I'm running, I'm going, I'm going to get what I want.
• 13:55
  And we can hustle our way to some real success that way.
• 13:58
  We can also hustle our way right into the ground that way.
• 14:01
  So strategy saves us from wasting that energy, from going whole hog on
• 14:07
  something that's totally not right for us.
• 14:10
  Gives us a new mechanism.
• 14:12
  okay?
• 14:12
  Let's talk about what it means to be invited, what it means to be recognized.
• 14:16
  Think about this.
• 14:18
  If you haven't been asked, if you were not invited to something, right?
• 14:24
  And you didn't answer yes, so if I haven't been asked, so I haven't answered, but
• 14:31
  I'm still moving, and I'm still doing something, and I'm still progressing
• 14:35
  in a direction that doesn't feel right, then that is the first sign that you
• 14:42
  are probably on somebody else's ride.
• 14:44
  Which is honestly the most common thing that I see with projectors.
• 14:50
  I see it all the time with projectors.
• 14:51
  The acquiescing to other people's needs, wants, direction, demands.
• 14:58
  This goes double for the projectors with Open G Centers.
• 15:02
  , where you can sort of assimilate wherever you go, that you don't even
• 15:06
  know that you're on somebody else's path.
• 15:10
  Now, we know this from the more basic standpoint with this, nobody gets to have
• 15:16
  your energy, have your wisdom, gets to pull you into anything without asking
• 15:23
  you, that's the projector, protection there with the invitation, right?
• 15:29
  We all know that from the standpoint of like, oh right, because I don't
• 15:32
  have sustainable energy, so they have to ask me so that I'm really being
• 15:36
  recognized for the right things, and I'm lending my energy to the only the
• 15:40
  things that are correct for me, and the right collaborations for me to really
• 15:45
  get involved with, like I get that.
• 15:48
  But what they don't get is that ideas and other people's energy without
• 15:53
  them saying anything necessarily.
• 15:55
  Without you really feeling like you are doing a whole lot, you can get swept
• 16:01
  up in their story, in their journey, in their idea of where you should be going.
• 16:08
  The conditioning is so strong that if you find yourself just kind of like
• 16:13
  tied up in, topic, in a business, in an offer, in something, or not
• 16:23
  going in a direction that you want because other people have told you.
• 16:27
  Projectors can be very susceptible to a ride on somebody else's
• 16:33
  wagon without knowing it.
• 16:35
  Become very aware of where your energy is, where your focus is.
• 16:40
  I want to change it to that word, because I think that that's a
• 16:42
  better way of explaining it.
• 16:45
  Pay attention to where your focus is, because your energy is focusing
• 16:48
  on other people, and it will get sucked into other people's stuff
• 16:53
  if you're not careful and aware.
• 16:56
  So I hope that you found this helpful.
• 16:59
  Projectors, you are the guides that we all need.
• 17:03
  But you cannot guide unless you are leading yourself.
• 17:07
  So eyes open, heart open, and really pay attention to where that focus is.
• 17:12
  Because where you focus your energy is where you are as a projector.
• 17:16
  It's who you are.
• 17:18
  So you have to be able to focus and then pull it back.
• 17:21
  And I get it.
• 17:22
  That is a different game than the rest of us are playing.
• 17:24
  And it comes with a whole host of challenges.
• 17:26
  But it also has amazing gifts and you guys are so powerful and magnetic and
• 17:33
  beautiful and just valuable to the collective that I want to see you shine.
• 17:39
  So lead yourself and find somebody who lead, who helps you lead yourself.
• 17:45
  This is why coaching and working with human design is so important because
• 17:51
  you can't be coached like a generator.
• 17:54
  You can't just be told to do, do, do.
• 17:56
  You can't just be guided that way.
• 17:58
  That's not right for you.
• 18:00
  And it'll make you feel less confident.
• 18:03
  It'll make you lose your conviction.
• 18:04
  It's gonna make you lose steam.
• 18:06
  But when you start to feel successful, and you start to recognize yourself,
• 18:09
  and you start to follow this path, then you really start to come out.
• 18:14
  And you show people who you really are.
• 18:16
  And that's when the invitations start rolling in.
• 18:19
  So thank you for being here.
• 18:20
  I hope that the projectors found this useful.
• 18:22
  I hope that the projector friends and family found this useful and you
• 18:27
  have compassion and love and openness for the projectors in your life.
• 18:31
  They are so valuable.
• 18:33
