0:11
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, everybody.
0:26
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and.
0:28
Nicole Laino: And I wanted to take kind of, like, a broader view today on human design.
0:34
Nicole Laino: I know we're starting the year.
0:35
Nicole Laino: We have some really cool episodes coming up for you, but I wanted to take kind of a broader view, kind of take a step back, chunk up a bit, if you will, to looking at the journey of human design.
0:46
Nicole Laino: So my goal with this episode is that no matter what stage you are in during, you know, your human design journey, whether you're just finding it or you've been doing this for a while, I think that this will give some insight into what you're experiencing, what you can expect to experience, and, you know, what this really looks like.
1:07
Nicole Laino: I'm one of those people that if I can see the whole process.
1:11
Nicole Laino: I just joined a program, and I had an onboarding call with the, you know, program director, and I was saying to her, I'm like, what is the thing that's gonna give me, like, the bird's eye view of everything so that I know what the whole picture is and then I can understand the pieces more?
1:27
Nicole Laino: Like, that's just how I am.
1:29
Nicole Laino: And that's kind of what this episode is.
1:31
Nicole Laino: It's like, let me talk to you about and show you the whole human design journey.
1:35
Nicole Laino: Cause I'll say this, the biggest lesson that I have learned with human design is just the benefit of hindsight.
1:44
Nicole Laino: Having been through all of this, that's, like, the most valuable thing to me is sitting here now, going into my sixth year with it.
1:51
Nicole Laino: And I'm sure in two years, when I'm going into my eighth year with it, I will have even more of this.
1:57
Nicole Laino: But it is the lived experience of being a practitioner of this, being a coach of this, where I have had the benefit and privilege of observing thousands of people at this point.
2:11
Nicole Laino: I've done hundreds and hundreds of readings.
2:14
Nicole Laino: I have had hundreds of people in business by design.
2:18
Nicole Laino: And then I also run sharks for, like, every person that I know.
2:21
Nicole Laino: And I'm always looking at people through the lens of their design.
2:24
Nicole Laino: And I want to talk to you about.
2:26
Nicole Laino: Today, we're going to talk about the four stages of evolution and expansion with human design.
2:32
Nicole Laino: And each of these four stages, like the fact that we can.
2:36
Nicole Laino: There's different things, there's different benefits to each one.
2:39
Nicole Laino: And what I really want to focus on is the fact that, like, I know that a lot of people, particularly in the beginning, and there's a lot of noise out there's a lot of Instagram posts, there's a lot of things out there, people selling you things that are like, this is the secret.
2:53
Nicole Laino: And unfortunately, and I use that language too because, well, sadly, if we don't say it that way, it doesn't stop the scroll.
3:01
Nicole Laino: We have to kind of have this sort of very exciting, hooky language to get people to pay attention.
3:08
Nicole Laino: What I try to do though, to remain integrity, is give the full picture of the whole story.
3:13
Nicole Laino: Once you are listening or once you are paying attention and reading what I wrote or listening to what I have to say, I don't sugarcoat things and I don't.
3:22
Nicole Laino: And I really work hard to not make it feel like human design is a magic pill.
3:27
Nicole Laino: I do think it's pretty darn magical.
3:30
Nicole Laino: I do think that it is the greatest tool for self exploration.
3:34
Nicole Laino: And if you're an entrepreneur or in the achievement business, where you are looking to grow as a human being, and if your business is connected to your personal growth like entrepreneurship is, then I really don't think that there is a more indispensable tool in your toolbox for how you do that than human design.
3:54
Nicole Laino: But I want to go through the four stages so you understand and maybe you can identify where you are at this point.
4:00
Nicole Laino: Where are you, what stage are you in?
4:03
Nicole Laino: And then I can really start to clue you into what you can expect at those stages and the different work and the different results there are at each stage, because human design is magical, it is indispensable.
4:16
Nicole Laino: But the reality is, like with all things, where we want something from it, we want the goods, is it takes work and results deepen with time and consistency.
4:27
Nicole Laino: Just like with anything else in life, there are very few things that have instant gratification that also have lasting results.
4:34
Nicole Laino: Instant gratification can happen, but then it's sometimes a fleeting experience.
4:40
Nicole Laino: This is a lasting experience.
4:41
Nicole Laino: This is a lasting effect, but it takes time to deepen and get.
4:45
Nicole Laino: When somebody like me who's going into their sixth year with this system is talking about my results and my experience with it, if you are just starting, it will probably be different for you.
4:57
Nicole Laino: Now, I'll say there's caveats here.
4:59
Nicole Laino: The caveat is that if you have done Lots of personal development work.
5:01
Nicole Laino: If you are a somatic healer, if you are an energetic coach, if you've done a lot of really deep personal development work on yourself, then these stages can move a lot faster.
5:12
Nicole Laino: Why?
5:12
Nicole Laino: Well, you're more self aware and you've done deeper work to go.
5:16
Nicole Laino: But beyond just awareness, where you have worked through some of your trauma, where you don't have deep wounds that are keeping you stuck in not self behavior and in not self patterns, you've worked through those patterns.
5:31
Nicole Laino: So human design can come in, tune you into some very specific things about yourself, and you can actually make those changes in the way that human design is usually explained, which is from an awareness perspective.
5:43
Nicole Laino: You know what I mean by that is someone will say something like, you have an open ego.
5:48
Nicole Laino: Don't prove yourself.
5:49
Nicole Laino: You don't have to prove your worth to anyone.
5:52
Nicole Laino: Well, that's wonderful.
5:54
Nicole Laino: If you've done the deeper trauma work on what made you feel unworthy in the first place and excavated all of that stuff, then hearing that, you can stop doing it maybe a little bit easier, you can be aware of what the conditioning is and go, oh, I get that now.
6:10
Nicole Laino: That took like that last layer of responsibility off of me and now I can let it go.
6:17
Nicole Laino: But most people haven't done that, at least not in my experience.
6:20
Nicole Laino: They come into this work and there's always some level deeper that's keeping them sort of stuck in the conditioned pattern.
6:26
Nicole Laino: So the headline for all of this is give yourself grace and give yourself some time.
6:31
Nicole Laino: And I'm going to take you through these four stages now.
6:33
Nicole Laino: And each of the four stages I'm going to let you know, like kind of what are the hallmarks of this stage?
6:38
Nicole Laino: What does it look like?
6:39
Nicole Laino: What will you be experiencing?
6:40
Nicole Laino: What's kind of the thought process?
6:41
Nicole Laino: What I see is what keeps people stuck in these stages and then how that relates to the results that we're getting in our life and our business.
6:50
Nicole Laino: Okay, so the first thing that I want to say before I start with the stages is that inherently when we're talking about energetics in business, and we're talking about energetics in life and attracting what we want and being able to receive and all of these things that human design promises us.
7:07
Nicole Laino: Because human design tells us how to be in an expanded state of our energetic force, right?
7:13
Nicole Laino: So our aura is doing work for us.
7:16
Nicole Laino: Our aura is attracting, our aura is creating for us.
7:19
Nicole Laino: It's allowing things in.
7:22
Nicole Laino: Well, then we have to be in a state of allowing.
7:24
Nicole Laino: And human design gives us a framework and a process for getting into a state, our version of that state of allowing of expanded energy.
7:34
Nicole Laino: But when we are having difficulty and we are forcing, then we are in a state of contraction.
7:41
Nicole Laino: That's when we feel like we're doing all the things, but nothing is working.
7:45
Nicole Laino: We've tried all the strategies, we've masculine energy ed our way through our lives.
7:51
Nicole Laino: We've done all of the work, but it's just not working.
7:54
Nicole Laino: And that's where human design can come in.
7:56
Nicole Laino: And when we're in a contracted state like that, we need to get into a state of expansion.
8:02
Nicole Laino: And human design can really help with that because it actually gives us a framework to tell us what is our state of expansion.
8:08
Nicole Laino: Because what worked for somebody else is clearly not working for me.
8:12
Nicole Laino: So what do I do?
8:14
Nicole Laino: How do I get it to work?
8:15
Nicole Laino: It's a personalized approach.
8:18
Nicole Laino: So I want you to understand this concept of contracted energy.
8:21
Nicole Laino: That's when things feel hard.
8:24
Nicole Laino: That's when it feels like we have to grind for every win that we get.
8:29
Nicole Laino: It's all hard.
8:30
Nicole Laino: And the minute we stop grinding, the winning stops.
8:35
Nicole Laino: And then expanded is really being able to fully step into next levels.
8:42
Nicole Laino: Like, it just feels easy or it might feel scary still, because we're still humans.
8:47
Nicole Laino: And it's scary doing new things, but it doesn't feel hard, it doesn't feel restrictive.
8:52
Nicole Laino: That resistance isn't there as much because you're in an expanded state.
8:56
Nicole Laino: You're in a state of allowing.
8:57
Nicole Laino: This is where the good things start happening without you having to work so hard.
9:02
Nicole Laino: This is when everybody talks about magnetism.
9:04
Nicole Laino: This is the state that we're in.
9:05
Nicole Laino: Right?
9:06
Nicole Laino: So human design tells us how to your not self theme tells you when you are contracted.
9:11
Nicole Laino: Your signature tells you when you are expanded.
9:14
Nicole Laino: Right?
9:15
Nicole Laino: The simple, like, very quick and dirty way of explaining how human design gets us into a state of expansion and lets us know when we are in a state of contraction and helps us get out of it.
9:26
Nicole Laino: Okay, now the first stage of this process, the first stage where most people enter into it at, is a state of obsession.
9:36
Nicole Laino: And the state of obsession, or the.
9:38
Nicole Laino: The stage of obsession is really hallmarked by.
9:42
Nicole Laino: And I see this all the time, people come in and they're looking for the answers.
9:45
Nicole Laino: This is where you have a collection of human design carousels from Instagram saved in your profile.
9:53
Nicole Laino: And you go in there and you're looking for the secret, the formula, the thing.
9:57
Nicole Laino: And there are formulas and there are things, but you are really looking hard for answer.
10:03
Nicole Laino: You're looking in the chart, you Have a problem.
10:04
Nicole Laino: You look for the chart, you're like, oh, I get this a lot with people in my programs too.
10:09
Nicole Laino: Like when they first join, they'll be asking a lot of questions.
10:13
Nicole Laino: What?
10:13
Nicole Laino: In my charts I'm having this problem.
10:16
Nicole Laino: What does my chart say about that?
10:18
Nicole Laino: And I'm always cautious with that because the chart can give us clues, but it doesn't.
10:24
Nicole Laino: It just the nature of that perspective.
10:27
Nicole Laino: I really try to work people out of in a gentle way and just kind of back them off of like looking at it like, I've got a problem.
10:35
Nicole Laino: Let me go to my little answer book.
10:38
Nicole Laino: It's while you can find insight in the chart, answers are usually just because of the by virtue of the way that we're approaching that.
10:48
Nicole Laino: The answers don't come because it's this like obsession about it.
10:52
Nicole Laino: Like, I gotta go to my chart and find out what it is.
10:55
Nicole Laino: Oh my God.
10:56
Nicole Laino: And the other hallmark of this is that people are usually treating the chart like good fortune or bad fortune.
11:03
Nicole Laino: You know, like examples of this are like, I have gate one, but I don't have gate eight.
11:09
Nicole Laino: I'm missing it.
11:10
Nicole Laino: So I'll never be able to express myself consistently.
11:14
Nicole Laino: I have an undefined ego, so I'll never be successful.
11:18
Nicole Laino: I am a pure generator, so.
11:21
Nicole Laino: And I work alone, so I'll never be a successful entrepreneur.
11:25
Nicole Laino: This is that feeling of like, these are definitive things.
11:30
Nicole Laino: And I understand that because I know if you listen to Ra and the way that he talked, you know, he's just like, it's not your way.
11:35
Nicole Laino: Like that's just not going to be how it is for you.
11:37
Nicole Laino: And I think that there's more nuance to that because it isn't about you can't have those things.
11:43
Nicole Laino: It's just you need to release and relax into how self expression will come to you.
11:50
Nicole Laino: It probably going to come to you in a different way than through that portal if you have the one and not the eight.
11:58
Nicole Laino: But really what I want to point out here is that way of thinking.
12:03
Nicole Laino: It's not that those things are wrong or that they're right.
12:07
Nicole Laino: It's the way that people think about them.
12:08
Nicole Laino: Like I looked to the chart for answer and I didn't like the one that I got.
12:12
Nicole Laino: Oh no, that means X about me.
12:16
Nicole Laino: And that's not what this is about.
12:19
Nicole Laino: This is about acceptance and self love.
12:22
Nicole Laino: Human design should help you love the shit out of yourself.
12:24
Nicole Laino: I always say that like that is my goal with every single person.
12:27
Nicole Laino: Because the more you love yourself truly for who you are, not who you were supposed to be according to somebody else's design plan or their list of good and bad, but you for who you are.
12:41
Nicole Laino: So this stage, this first stage of obsession, this is the biggest state of contraction that I see for people.
12:48
Nicole Laino: This is being in the energy of force and contraction.
12:52
Nicole Laino: And this stage, the quicker for me as a.
12:55
Nicole Laino: As a human design coach, the quicker I can get people out of this stage, the better to me.
13:00
Nicole Laino: Like, that is my goal.
13:00
Nicole Laino: It's like, I gotta get them out of this way.
13:03
Nicole Laino: They have to go through it for the most part.
13:05
Nicole Laino: People have to go through, like, that obsessively, kind of like taking information and reading everything about their design and, like, devouring it.
13:13
Nicole Laino: You know, you kind of have to gorge yourself a little bit and get a tummy ache, and then you're forced to lay on the couch and chill out.
13:18
Nicole Laino: Like, the quicker I can get you to lay on the couch and chill out, the better, because then it can get you to the truly productive stages that are available to you here if you keep going.
13:29
Nicole Laino: Right?
13:30
Nicole Laino: So that's the first stage, that obsessive phase that leads to this state of force and contraction in your energy.
13:38
Nicole Laino: Because you are in such a state of lack of in this stage now you can be really looking into this stuff and be curious, and we'll get to that.
13:47
Nicole Laino: That's not usually what I see from these people.
13:49
Nicole Laino: They're looking for answers, not insight.
13:51
Nicole Laino: They're like, what does it say?
13:53
Nicole Laino: So I can fix it.
13:54
Nicole Laino: They're gonna fix it.
13:55
Nicole Laino: Oh, no, this says I can't fix it.
13:57
Nicole Laino: That means X about me.
13:59
Nicole Laino: The quicker I can shift you from there, the faster we'll move in a direction that's actually really productive.
14:04
Nicole Laino: Okay, that's the first stage.
14:06
Nicole Laino: The second stage, curious obsession.
14:08
Nicole Laino: So now you're still a little bit obsessed.
14:10
Nicole Laino: You were still, like, maybe really taking information.
14:13
Nicole Laino: Especially my fellow one lines.
14:14
Nicole Laino: We just love to research and dive in, and that is our way.
14:20
Nicole Laino: So that's not wrong.
14:21
Nicole Laino: I'll never tell somebody.
14:22
Nicole Laino: Stop reading.
14:23
Nicole Laino: It's how you're reading.
14:26
Nicole Laino: So now they've kind of let go a little bit of finding all the answers in the chart, and maybe they're feeling a little bummed that they didn't get all of the answers that they thought that they would get.
14:37
Nicole Laino: But now they're starting to, like, they're just getting curious.
14:39
Nicole Laino: They're starting to just have some fun with it instead of it being so like, ugh, I gotta get.
14:43
Nicole Laino: Tell me who I am.
14:45
Nicole Laino: Tell me how I fix this.
14:46
Nicole Laino: Tell me how I attract all the people with money.
14:48
Nicole Laino: Like, when we get over that, then you could start to actually have fun with this and start to go like.
14:53
Nicole Laino: And where it becomes this beautiful exploration of yourself and there's just a lighter touch.
14:59
Nicole Laino: And don't ever underestimate the power of a lighter touch and things like this.
15:04
Nicole Laino: So it might feel a little bit like you're losing interest in human design at this stage, because you're not as, like, you know, rabidly devouring information, but usually it's just this becoming a little bit more of a healthy obsession.
15:18
Nicole Laino: Right.
15:18
Nicole Laino: I hope you're still obsessed at this stage, but I hope it's like becoming a healthy sort of obsession.
15:24
Nicole Laino: Now.
15:25
Nicole Laino: This is the point where deconditioning really is the make or break it point here.
15:30
Nicole Laino: Whether you make it from stage two to stage three, you know, do you stop at stage two and kind of just get stuck there, or do you do the deconditioning work and that propels you into stage three?
15:43
Nicole Laino: Okay.
15:44
Nicole Laino: Because this is where you start to really see your patterns.
15:47
Nicole Laino: This is where you start to get little glimpses of how your design is working at work.
15:53
Nicole Laino: You're starting to find your way.
15:55
Nicole Laino: You're playing with strategy and authority.
15:57
Nicole Laino: You're really starting to get it.
15:59
Nicole Laino: You're not questioning yourself all the time.
16:01
Nicole Laino: You're not saying like, oh, well, I. I was in response, but now I don't want to do it.
16:05
Nicole Laino: So what does that mean?
16:06
Nicole Laino: And you're curious about that now.
16:09
Nicole Laino: Now you're like, so I really felt like I was doing it, but I noticed like, it's been like five or six times and like, just the questions have more of a contemplative vibe than a.
16:23
Nicole Laino: And a curious vibe.
16:24
Nicole Laino: Then like, tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it now.
16:27
Nicole Laino: Just that lack energy is less, that contraction is less.
16:32
Nicole Laino: So you start to really get those glimpses.
16:33
Nicole Laino: But it's the deconditioning that allows you to do that.
16:36
Nicole Laino: The more conditioned you are, the more in lack energy you are.
16:40
Nicole Laino: And that usually comes from some sort of trauma that is still in your energy and in your body that you need to release, because that's what's creating this, that your nervous system is in fight or flight.
16:55
Nicole Laino: And you thought that human design would fix it at the first stage.
16:59
Nicole Laino: So you're still in fight flight.
17:00
Nicole Laino: And you're just like, how am I going to get out of this?
17:02
Nicole Laino: And now if you're doing some deconditioning work, at least the way that I teach with tapping and breath work and other nervous system regulation tools and visualizations and the things that we do inside business by design.
17:13
Nicole Laino: When you are doing that work, then your energy naturally starts to expand, which makes you less obsessive about this.
17:22
Nicole Laino: Your mind has already chewed on a lot of this food and it's actually starting to digest some of what it ate in the first stage.
17:29
Nicole Laino: And now it's like, oh, now I can get curious.
17:31
Nicole Laino: And you have some experience behind you with it.
17:33
Nicole Laino: It's not just the information you're in response to now.
17:36
Nicole Laino: Now you're looking at your own experience and starting to connect those dots a little bit, right?
17:42
Nicole Laino: This is where people start to notice you and respond to you differently.
17:47
Nicole Laino: And you start to get little glimpses of what's possible now, the third stage.
17:52
Nicole Laino: So you, if you've done some deconditioning and you continue with it, you get to advance onto the third stage, which is the curious stage.
18:00
Nicole Laino: The curious stage is where you're gaining insight from the chart and your life.
18:05
Nicole Laino: You are really starting to see how your chart is working out in the world all the time.
18:12
Nicole Laino: You are starting to connect those dots and you are opening to breakthroughs on a regular basis.
18:19
Nicole Laino: Business connections of between your chart and your offers and the way that you structure things and the way that your messaging works with your, what I call the authority matrix, but with the rest of your design as well.
18:32
Nicole Laino: You start to see like, oh, I see how my Mercury gate is showing up.
18:35
Nicole Laino: Oh, I see how this is.
18:37
Nicole Laino: I'm using it now in a different way.
18:39
Nicole Laino: But you don't have to try to.
18:41
Nicole Laino: You don't have to try to.
18:43
Nicole Laino: That's why people in business, by design, they get these business readings with me and they go back and they listen to them over and over again.
18:49
Nicole Laino: And at every stage, you know, months later, they're listening to it.
18:52
Nicole Laino: It's like they're getting all of these new breakthroughs from it because they are different now.
18:58
Nicole Laino: They're different six months from the time I did the reading.
19:01
Nicole Laino: They don't need me to do the reading again.
19:03
Nicole Laino: They can listen to the same reading.
19:04
Nicole Laino: They're just going to react to it, respond to it, and hear different things in it now because they have changed.
19:11
Nicole Laino: They have an experience to hold it up with, hold it up against.
19:15
Nicole Laino: So this is a stage of where you really start to feel some expansion.
19:20
Nicole Laino: And this is where you're creating from instinct, not from force.
19:24
Nicole Laino: You start attracting the right people.
19:28
Nicole Laino: People were responding to you differently in the last stage, but now you're really up leveling the People that are coming to you, that are responding to you because they're responding to your energy, and you are increasing your vibration.
19:44
Nicole Laino: You are expanding your frequency in this whole process.
19:49
Nicole Laino: But we take it for granted.
19:50
Nicole Laino: We keep looking for the tangible thing, how this gate is showing up here and trying to make a logical, strategic connection between them.
19:59
Nicole Laino: But the truth is this is energetic.
20:01
Nicole Laino: And while there might be some strategy behind it, there often is.
20:04
Nicole Laino: But I teach business strategy for the strategies a lot of the time because that's what's really required.
20:10
Nicole Laino: But now you're different, so those strategies start working differently for you.
20:15
Nicole Laino: And that's what's happening in this stage.
20:17
Nicole Laino: Real growth starts coming.
20:18
Nicole Laino: This is when people are coming and be like, I feel like a different person.
20:21
Nicole Laino: Oh, my God, I can't believe that this is all happening now.
20:24
Nicole Laino: The fourth stage.

Nicole Laino: The fourth stage, you know, never ends.
20:28
Nicole Laino: We stay here.
20:28
Nicole Laino: We're, you know, hopefully like, you get to this stage.
20:31
Nicole Laino: But the fourth stage, the biggest question mark is whether people make it from stage two to stage three.
20:37
Nicole Laino: They do the deconditioning work.
20:38
Nicole Laino: If they don't do the deconditioning work, you will stall at stage two.
20:41
Nicole Laino: Stage three, if you just keep going, stage four is yours.
20:45
Nicole Laino: You keep deconditioning.
20:46
Nicole Laino: You're kind of in a routine with it now.
20:49
Nicole Laino: It's like you're on the maintenance plan.
20:51
Nicole Laino: And stage four is where you become truly contemplative.
20:55
Nicole Laino: This is where you are in an expanded state of your energy.
20:59
Nicole Laino: You know the difference moment to moment.
21:02
Nicole Laino: You know when you slip into misalignment and you know how to get back, you know what all of that feels like.
21:08
Nicole Laino: If you get taken on a ride down the wrong path, you realize very quickly that you are on it and you know exactly how to force correct get yourself back to where you belong.
21:19
Nicole Laino: There is a level of self mastery here that happens at the contemplative space.
21:24
Nicole Laino: It's a beautiful thing to see.
21:26
Nicole Laino: This is where you get clarity in every moment.
21:29
Nicole Laino: You are allowing versus forcing.
21:31
Nicole Laino: You are rolling with your design, moment to moment.
21:35
Nicole Laino: And you're in what I call.
21:36
Nicole Laino: I've got this energy.
21:38
Nicole Laino: This is where, you know, I'll use myself as an example for right now.
21:42
Nicole Laino: We are changing a lot of things in our business in 2026.
21:45
Nicole Laino: We have a lot of new things that are happening.
21:48
Nicole Laino: We are changing up the way that we do things just because the market is changing and the industry is changing.
21:53
Nicole Laino: So.
21:54
Nicole Laino: So we are changing a lot of things.
21:56
Nicole Laino: Even when I get worked up or a little overwhelmed thinking about all of the changes and the work that needs to be done.
22:03
Nicole Laino: I can come back to a truly grounded energy where I'm just like, I've got this.
22:08
Nicole Laino: And I'm not just saying that to myself.
22:11
Nicole Laino: That is a state that I'm in.
22:13
Nicole Laino: I'm in an.
22:14
Nicole Laino: I've got this state.
22:16
Nicole Laino: And I'm not pushing and I'm not hustling.
22:19
Nicole Laino: There are just times where it's like I ride the wave of when I'm on with my energy and I know how to truly surrender to the moments where I'm not on and I know what to do in all of them.
22:32
Nicole Laino: So that I get the most out of myself at every stage.
22:36
Nicole Laino: Doesn't mean I'm perfect, doesn't mean that I don't have bad days.
22:38
Nicole Laino: I do, but that bad day doesn't really last more than a bad day.
22:43
Nicole Laino: I am able to rebound so quickly in a truly natural and genuine way.
22:50
Nicole Laino: Not a, okay, well, yesterday was bad, so I gotta make today good.
22:53
Nicole Laino: I don't force.
22:55
Nicole Laino: And that's an indispensable comfort to have because every day counts.
23:01
Nicole Laino: And it isn't about making every day, hustling every day, but it's about making every day as good as it can be.
23:07
Nicole Laino: And we can't do that if we are not as good as we can be.
23:11
Nicole Laino: If you're fighting yourself, you'll drain your energy.
23:14
Nicole Laino: And if you're draining your energy, you're going to find that it's so much harder to have true consistency in this business.
23:21
Nicole Laino: This big misconception about what consistency is.
23:24
Nicole Laino: Consistency in entrepreneurship is not showing up every day and working your hardest.
23:30
Nicole Laino: Consistency is about creating consistency in your energy.
23:34
Nicole Laino: You have goals that you meet, but every day is not the same set of goals.
23:40
Nicole Laino: You don't have the same standard for every single day.
23:43
Nicole Laino: The standard is, I do my best, I don't force myself to push, I don't force myself to perform.
23:50
Nicole Laino: And that's where the magic happens, because that's where your business feels actually sustainable.
23:55
Nicole Laino: When you're forcing yourself and you're pushing, you're wondering all the time, can I do this?
24:01
Nicole Laino: And if you're wondering if you can do this, part of you doesn't believe you can.
24:04
Nicole Laino: And that is seeping into everything that you do.
24:06
Nicole Laino: That doubt, that is lack, that's contraction.
24:10
Nicole Laino: It'll make everything harder.
24:12
Nicole Laino: So I hope you loved this episode if you did.
24:14
Nicole Laino: We are actually teaching.
24:15
Nicole Laino: I am teaching a masterclass, a workshop.
24:18
Nicole Laino: This is a actual paid workshop.
24:20
Nicole Laino: This is a really in depth thing that we are doing on Recalibrating your G Center.
24:24
Nicole Laino: This is all about shifting your identity for 2026 or for whenever you do this course.
24:29
Nicole Laino: If you want to do this later, you can.
24:31
Nicole Laino: It's not exclusively to January, but it feels like a really good time to do this, that to shift your identity.
24:37
Nicole Laino: Because if your identity doesn't match the goals that you have for yourself, you will find that you always are having trouble reaching them.
24:45
Nicole Laino: And the G Center is this sort of, I guess, unspoken piece of this puzzle that most people don't know about or most people aren't teaching.
24:54
Nicole Laino: So I'm doing this, I'm doing.
24:56
Nicole Laino: It's a two day session if you do the VIP with us, where we're going to go deeper into role gates and some more advanced things on the human design side and the integration side of this.
