  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 Laino.
• 0:27
  And today we are together to talk about a question that either gets
• 0:33
  asked directly or kind of indirectly.
• 0:35
  And I also want to address why it's so important that we coach
• 0:39
  by type, that we live by our type.
• 0:42
  And we're going to talk specifically about generators
• 0:45
  and manifesting generators today.
• 0:47
  I get asked all the time.
• 0:49
  Is there a difference, between generators and manifesting generators?
• 0:52
  You'll even see that some of my content, I might put them together.
• 0:56
  I might say, generators and manifesting generators, this is for you.
• 1:00
  And then other times I split them up, where it's like, here's the
• 1:02
  tip for generators, and here's the tip for manifesting generators.
• 1:06
  That's on purpose, it depends on what I'm talking about.
• 1:09
  So I want to dive into the differences between these two, how they're the
• 1:13
  same, how they're different, and why I coach people to their type.
• 1:19
  And why it's so important to do that.
• 1:22
  Even if you're not a manifesting generator or a generator, I want you to understand
• 1:26
  that projectors, there is a specific way that you need to be coached and guided in
• 1:33
  order for you to live out your purpose, in order for you to find your way.
• 1:38
  And it might be different because you're different.
• 1:41
  And 70 percent of the world are generators and manifesting generators.
• 1:44
  So a lot of the advice is very geared toward generators
• 1:47
  and manifesting generators.
• 1:49
  And honestly, we're all told to be like manifestors.
• 1:52
  So, what I want to get down to in this episode, I'm going to speak
• 1:55
  specifically about how generators and manifesting generators are
• 1:57
  different and how they're the same.
• 1:59
  But then we're also just going to have that broader conversation about
• 2:02
  why type is so important, and why we come back to it, why it's one
• 2:06
  of the foundations of everything.
• 2:08
  I always say that there's a human design trifecta.
• 2:11
  There is the human design type, there is human design authority,
• 2:16
  and then there is your profile.
• 2:18
  Those three pieces are what make up the foundation for everything in human design.
• 2:24
  It all starts with that, because that's the individual.
• 2:26
  That's who you are.
• 2:28
  That is what we are talking about here.
• 2:30
  We're talking about who are you meant to be as a differentiated
• 2:34
  individual in this life?
• 2:37
  Now you can build on that and you can say, okay, I'm this differentiated individual.
• 2:42
  Now I'm gonna build a brand that's in alignment with me as a unique
• 2:46
  person and not just a person trying to be like somebody else.
• 2:50
  We can get all fancy with channels and centers and all of that stuff,
• 2:54
  but it all comes back to those three pieces that need to be in place.
• 3:00
  Now, if you want to dive into that deeply and understand that more, I just taught
• 3:05
  a workshop on this called Activate Your Magnetism because it does come down to
• 3:08
  those three pieces, but then there's also a lot more to being magnetic.
• 3:13
  If you'd like to jump into that, the recording is still available
• 3:16
  for free if you're listening to this when this episode drops, although it
• 3:19
  will be made into a paid workshop.
• 3:22
  So, please jump on it while you can dm me the word workshop on instagram I'm
• 3:26
  @NicoleLainoOfficial we'll register you right there and then you'll get
• 3:30
  an email with the link to watch, or just go to nicolelaino.com/workshop
• 3:35
  and you can register there and like I said you'll get an automatic email
• 3:38
  with the link to watch the replay.
• 3:39
  Okay, so that's the trifecta, but let's talk about type and let's talk about
• 3:44
  generators and manifesting generators and why it's so important to understand
• 3:49
  why we talk about them together and why we talk about them separately and
• 3:52
  the way that I look at them differently from a business standpoint and a
• 3:57
  day to day operations standpoint.
• 3:59
  For anyone who's been doing this long enough, in observing different types in
• 4:05
  their environment, doing their thing.
• 4:07
  I have worked with hundreds of people at this point between readings, and
• 4:10
  inside my programs, and in workshops and all the other things that I've done.
• 4:14
  Literally hundreds of people on their human design.
• 4:17
  So I've seen a lot of examples in front of me and I've certainly seen a lot of
• 4:21
  generators and manifesting generators.
• 4:23
  And I'm a manifesting generator myself.
• 4:26
  So I've seen the differences, but let's start with how are they the same?
• 4:30
  Why do we group generators and manifesting generators together?
• 4:34
  Because generators and manifesting generators have a defined sacral.
• 4:38
  So we're sort of driven by the same thing, that sacral life force energy.
• 4:44
  We're here to have fun, but we're here to have fun differently.
• 4:48
  There's going to be a very different flavor to a generator
• 4:52
  and a manifesting generator.
• 4:54
  But the way that we are the same is we have sustainable energy.
• 4:57
  We have access to sustainable energy.
• 5:02
  And our strategy is largely the same.
• 5:05
  To respond.
• 5:07
  Gotta turn the sacral on in order to be in flow with our energy.
• 5:13
  In order to do the things that are right for us.
• 5:15
  In order for us to have momentum.
• 5:18
  Now whether you're a generator or a manifesting generator, you understand,
• 5:22
  you've had moments at least where you have felt like I could do this forever.
• 5:27
  This is so good.
• 5:28
  I could do this forever and ever.
• 5:30
  I have so much juice for this.
• 5:32
  And we're all here to be satisfied by the work that we do.
• 5:37
  We're not here to sit around.
• 5:39
  We're not here to just watch other people do stuff.
• 5:42
  We are the doers.
• 5:44
  That does not mean that we are lowly worker bees.
• 5:48
  I hate that connotation.
• 5:50
  I think there's just that feeling when you hear that you're a generator, either one,
• 5:55
  you feel like, oh, well I'm here to work?
• 5:58
  Ew.
• 5:59
  I felt that way.
• 6:00
  I was like, I want to be a wise guide.
• 6:03
  I want to be a projector.
• 6:05
  And turns out I have them all around me in my life.
• 6:08
  But it's not that we're here to be worker bees, but we have the energy
• 6:14
  to create what needs to be created.
• 6:16
  And the other types don't.
• 6:18
  Not for the sustainable long haul.
• 6:23
  Like for instance this weekend, I reorganized my closet.
• 6:25
  I pulled out everything from all the drawers in my bedroom.
• 6:29
  I gutted my closet.
• 6:30
  Everything came out.
• 6:32
  That was absolutely a sacral yes.
• 6:34
  Walked into the closet, I had the time, I had been rested, I wasn't
• 6:39
  overworked, and I walked in the closet and it was just like uh huh, yeah.
• 6:44
  That was work that needed to be done.
• 6:47
  I got it done, I got it done quickly, I got it done efficiently, and I got it done
• 6:52
  right, and I felt super satisfied from it.
• 6:56
  And I was not at all tired the next day, even though I spent
• 6:59
  like the entire day doing this.
• 7:01
  I was not at all tired.
• 7:03
  Why?
• 7:03
  Because I used my energy wisely.
• 7:07
  Generators and Mani Gens, you have the same thing.
• 7:11
  You've gotta use the energy you have, or it gets wasted.
• 7:15
  Or you aren't lit up by anything.
• 7:20
  This is the commonality.
• 7:22
  So, the battery, so to speak, the engine that powers us is the same.
• 7:28
  We share that.
• 7:29
  We have that in common.
• 7:32
  But what makes us different is the way we operate day to day.
• 7:38
  What turns us on?
• 7:40
  What gets our energy going?
• 7:43
  And the way that I coach mani gens versus generators is actually very different.
• 7:51
  You guys are so different in the way that you're operating.
• 7:55
  It's so different the way that I get a generator into alignment and get them into
• 7:59
  action, and get a mani gen into action.
• 8:03
  I will actually say, mani gens, we are stuck a lot more.
• 8:08
  So it's important for you to understand how often you're hitting the break.
• 8:12
  And usually the break is you trying to figure all the things out.
• 8:16
  Because you want to move in so many directions, you end up a little bit
• 8:19
  confused about all the ways that you could go, and you can end up getting stalled.
• 8:24
  So there's a lot of overthinking about the how.
• 8:27
  Generators get into that same rut a little bit, but they get out of it a lot faster.
• 8:33
  They're a little cleaner in that respect where there's less complication.
• 8:38
  They're just like, let me get to the doing.
• 8:39
  Getting a generator to focus is so much easier than a manifesting generator.
• 8:44
  Now you also know that one of the differences is that generators tend
• 8:48
  to be more linear in their path.
• 8:51
  And manifesting generators are more multi passionate.
• 8:56
  Our path is going to wind and turn and take detours that we have to take.
• 9:03
  Whereas generators, they're going to march pretty close to the path.
• 9:08
  It doesn't mean that they're going to do the same thing over and over
• 9:11
  again, and just make the same content, make the same offer, do the same job.
• 9:18
  It does not at all mean that.
• 9:20
  However, they're just not going to need the multi passionate
• 9:25
  thing, the way that Mani Gens do.
• 9:28
  Our path is going to be so all over the place.
• 9:33
  It's just really natural for it to do that, for us to just get done
• 9:38
  building something and already be thinking about what's the next thing.
• 9:43
  And to me, I don't see generators doing that quite as much.
• 9:47
  Generators can stay the course.
• 9:49
  They're satisfied with staying the course.
• 9:52
  They're also satisfied with taking direction a little bit better.
• 9:56
  Whereas Mani Gens, we've got an idea about what we want and how we want to do it.
• 10:00
  And so I will say it is more challenging to coach Mani Gens than
• 10:05
  it is to coach generators in general.
• 10:08
  That does not mean I don't like doing it.
• 10:10
  You are my brethren.
• 10:11
  You are my sisters.
• 10:13
  And I love coaching manifesting generators because the potential is so tremendous.
• 10:20
  Once I get you to slow down, and once I get you to commit to certain things.
• 10:29
  Now in the coaching world, a lot of the successful coaches that
• 10:34
  are out there, the really big names, they tend to be generators.
• 10:38
  We're at a point now where human design has come to a level where
• 10:43
  people talk about their human design on their podcasts and content.
• 10:46
  They're teaming up with other human design coaches and we find out what they are.
• 10:50
  And so many of them are generators.
• 10:52
  Very few actually are manifesting generators.
• 10:55
  And if they are, you can see a difference with the way that they teach,
• 11:00
  what they teach, how they run their businesses, and what works for them.
• 11:07
  The generators that are out there, the true generators that are the big
• 11:12
  name coaches, a lot of them have a very linear strategy that they teach.
• 11:17
  Now, that stuff does work.
• 11:23
  And it can work for projectors, it can work for mani gens,
• 11:26
  it can work for generators.
• 11:27
  I'm not saying that it can't work.
• 11:28
  You have to make your own decision through your own authority.
• 11:31
  But what gets a lot of people tripped up is when you try
• 11:35
  to play somebody else's game.
• 11:37
  So, as a mani gen, trying to make a generator strategy work, the truth
• 11:43
  is that what I've learned is by coming back to your own authority,
• 11:48
  you can start to find the truth.
• 11:51
  Because what we do is we end up in this this or that atmosphere with human design.
• 11:56
  I'm a projector so I can't do that because that's a generator
• 11:59
  strategy and I can't do that.
• 12:02
  That's not true.
• 12:04
  You don't want to play a generator game as a projector.
• 12:07
  As a manifesting generator, you don't want to play a generator game.
• 12:11
  As a generator, you don't want to be leaning back and not doing
• 12:17
  things, more like a projector.
• 12:19
  You might find that those things just don't work for you.
• 12:24
  But, it doesn't mean that the strategies cannot work.
• 12:29
  You just have to come back to your own authority and understand
• 12:32
  why some of it may work for you and other parts of it don't.
• 12:37
  And you get to adopt other strategies and pair them with things, and
• 12:42
  that's what I help people do inside my Business By Design Mentorship.
• 12:46
  I'm looking at the type, I'm looking at who the person is, I'm looking at
• 12:50
  their design and saying, this is why this didn't work for you in the past.
• 12:55
  You will probably need more variety in your offers, Manifesting Generator.
• 13:00
  You're probably going to need to have multiple avenues and
• 13:04
  multiple funnels that are going.
• 13:07
  Now, how do you do that without getting overwhelmed, burnt out, or confused by
• 13:15
  trying to do multiple things at once?
• 13:19
  That's the art of the design.
• 13:20
  That's the art of learning to work with your design rather than just
• 13:23
  intellectually understanding it.
• 13:25
  Because what can happen is, manifesting generators say, I'm
• 13:28
  supposed to be multi passionate.
• 13:31
  So I'm going to have this offer over here.
• 13:32
  I'm going to have this over here.
• 13:33
  And then before they know it, they don't know what they're selling, their
• 13:37
  message is all over the place, people aren't buying, and it just feels awful.
• 13:44
  Feel overwhelmed, maybe you feel like a failure, maybe you're making money,
• 13:48
  but it doesn't feel good because you're so stressed out about all
• 13:51
  the things that you have to create because you've overcommitted yourself.
• 13:55
  So that's where the other aspects of your design start to support you, or
• 14:00
  tell you where you need to pull back.
• 14:04
  So it's about working with the general framework of your design.
• 14:07
  But again, this is that integration part.
• 14:10
  It isn't about a definition written on a piece of paper.
• 14:14
  It's about looking at your life and saying, we're going to build this thing.
• 14:18
  But we are also going to have these in the works.
• 14:22
  And how can we exercise this need for you to move, and play, and
• 14:27
  talk about different things, and offer different things, and teach
• 14:30
  different things, but without burning you out and stressing you out.
• 14:36
  That's the art of working with it, rather than just saying, I'm
• 14:40
  supposed to be multi passionate.
• 14:41
  Five offers it is.
• 14:44
  And then you get like six weeks in and you want to die.
• 14:48
  And as a generator, when you see other people offer stacking, so they've got
• 14:52
  all of these offers and they've got all of these things going on, and that
• 14:56
  just feels really overwhelming to you.
• 14:58
  It feels exciting for a minute, but your energy doesn't spread like that.
• 15:04
  It doesn't want to do that.
• 15:05
  It wants to go deep and keep working on something and build.
• 15:09
  It doesn't have that manifestor need for variety and for freedom.
• 15:17
  Not that you don't need freedom.
• 15:18
  It's just not in your energy to need it in order to fulfill my purpose.
• 15:23
  Cause that's what we're getting down to.
• 15:26
  Your energy wants to go certain places.
• 15:29
  Your energy wants to connect with certain things.
• 15:32
  Your energy wants to be lent to certain things that ultimately, when
• 15:37
  you follow it and you do the thing that feels right to you, opens up and
• 15:43
  leads you on the path of your purpose.
• 15:45
  That's how this works.
• 15:49
  And you have to start trusting where your energy wants to go.
• 15:53
  Because it is a mind game if you start saying, I'm supposed
• 15:57
  to be multi passionate.
• 15:58
  So that means X Y Z.
• 16:02
  It doesn't.
• 16:03
  I'm supposed to be multi passionate.
• 16:05
  So when I get something to respond to that isn't a direct straight
• 16:10
  line from the thing that I'm doing right now, it's off to the side.
• 16:14
  I don't question it with my mind because some guru told me
• 16:18
  I should only do this one thing.
• 16:20
  This is how you have freedom.
• 16:21
  This is how you'll make a million dollars.
• 16:24
  I don't give my power away to something I've heard, or to someone else's result.
• 16:30
  I hold my power, and I make decisions from my own authority,
• 16:34
  and I trust what's right for me.
• 16:36
  So if I get a response that's saying yes to going slightly off track for
• 16:43
  a bit, I give myself permission to go explore that, to go experiment
• 16:48
  with that, to see what happens, and to stay open in my energy about it.
• 16:54
  Not browbeating myself or telling myself that I'm doing it wrong, or worrying
• 16:59
  about the correct decision I made.
• 17:03
  Second guessing my own authority because it doesn't fit into
• 17:06
  somebody else's formula exactly.
• 17:09
  This is how you develop a process that is yours.
• 17:13
  And this is how you develop a process for continually finding what's yours.
• 17:19
  It's not about what I tell you to do.
• 17:23
  In my coaching programs, I preface everything.
• 17:25
  I would say, I'm never telling you want to do.
• 17:27
  I'm going to throw some things out for you to respond to.
• 17:31
  And I give them options, and I start to have the conversation with them,
• 17:36
  and they find the answer themselves.
• 17:39
  That's what integration is.
• 17:42
  I'm not your guru.
• 17:45
  Nobody is.
• 17:46
  Nobody should be.
• 17:49
  There's only people who should bring you back closer to yourself.
• 17:54
  Because when you find the power in yourself, nobody can take that away.
• 17:58
  Not even human design.
• 18:00
  I always say, never give your power away, not even to the human design system.
• 18:05
  The human design system is a mechanical process.
• 18:09
  So when you're wondering what the next move is, there's no
• 18:14
  confusion, there's no fear.
• 18:17
  I'm not going to say there's no fear.
• 18:19
  But it's a different kind of fear.
• 18:21
  We might be uncertain.
• 18:23
  I don't know where it's going, but we are grounded in that uncertainty.
• 18:28
  I don't know when something will be a success.
• 18:32
  I don't know if my next launch will be a success.
• 18:36
  I don't know when I launch a new program, or an offer, if it's going to make
• 18:41
  $50,000 or it's going to make $10,000.
• 18:44
  I don't run ads, I don't do anything like that, so I can't play the
• 18:48
  numbers game quite the same way.
• 18:50
  I do my work, I know what I can do to make them successful, but the big
• 18:56
  difference that shifted me from having $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 launches to
• 19:02
  having $50, $60, $70,000 launches is my ability to stay grounded
• 19:08
  through every decision I make.
• 19:10
  What happens when the launch isn't going well?
• 19:14
  I no longer question whether I should have gone down this path.
• 19:19
  I don't worry.
• 19:21
  I just go, okay.
• 19:23
  Data.
• 19:23
  Now I'm just paying attention to what I'm responding to.
• 19:26
  I'm not making a decision whether I'm going to launch that thing
• 19:28
  again purely based on data.
• 19:31
  Data is part of it.
• 19:32
  I take in the strategic data that is available to me because I get to put
• 19:38
  that in my body and my experience, but do I want to do it again?
• 19:43
  Do I have a response to it that's saying yeah let's do it, or do I not?
• 19:51
  There's a lot of cleaning out of the energy out of the mind to come back into
• 19:56
  the body that allows us to start making decisions from our strongest part of
• 20:03
  us, our deepest wisdom, our intuition is really what we are talking about.
• 20:10
  And for generators and manifesting generators, there are many similarities.
• 20:16
  But there are also big, big differences with what your path will look like
• 20:20
  and what it will, what's required of you to surrender to in order
• 20:26
  to live the path of your purpose.
• 20:29
  Generators, you gotta surrender to fun.
• 20:32
  You gotta surrender to the fact that you're just gonna really like doing stuff.
• 20:36
  And if you're not doing stuff and you feel stuck, it's probably because you're
• 20:40
  not engaging with life and you're sitting around waiting for something to knock on
• 20:43
  your door and tell you, go do this thing.
• 20:47
  It probably won't work out that way for you.
• 20:49
  You have a responsibility and you have an energy source, so you
• 20:52
  get to go get yourself unstuck.
• 20:54
  You can do that.
• 20:57
  You can't engineer things to respond to necessarily.
• 21:01
  But you can go and interact with life, and you will have
• 21:05
  things to respond to constantly.
• 21:08
  Manifesting generators, you've got the same thing, but you've got a vision.
• 21:13
  You have to connect with one.
• 21:16
  And you have to slow down long enough, and intentionally enough.
• 21:20
  It's really about becoming intentional as a manifesting generator.
• 21:24
  So many of us are not.
• 21:26
  I was not for a long time.
• 21:27
  I was not intentional.
• 21:29
  I was really running from my mind.
• 21:31
  And that muted all of the power that I actually have.
• 21:36
  So it's about coming back home to the fact that you get to move
• 21:41
  fast, but you do not have to be in perpetual motion moving all the time.
• 21:45
  You're diluting yourself when you are.
• 21:49
  And if you're thinking about what's the next thing, what's the next
• 21:51
  thing, what's the next thing, what's the next thing, You're diluting
• 21:54
  yourself and you're draining your energy and that's why you're tired.
• 21:57
  That's why you're confused.
• 21:59
  That's why you feel stuck because you cannot get comfortable with sitting
• 22:03
  here right now and letting things be.
• 22:06
  Manifesting Generators, more than anybody, you got to come
• 22:10
  back to the present moment.
• 22:13
  Can you look around and just be here now?
• 22:19
  I'm going to leave this here.
• 22:20
  I hope you enjoyed this episode.
• 22:22
  I hope this illuminated a little bit of the generator mani gen differential.
