The Business of Being You: How Human Design Can Transform Your Career
If our creativity wasn’t just a side effect of inspiration but an actual system, how would you use it? It could be a framework that allows you to generate profitable ideas effortlessly without constantly chasing trends or competing in over-saturated markets. What if, instead of forcing yourself to fit into traditional business careers, you built something aligned with your strengths?”
For multi-passionate people like us, entrepreneurship can feel like a struggle between wanting to do everything and not knowing where to start. Plot Twist: The key isn’t doing less; it’s doing what’s right for you.
As a Manifesting Generator (MG), I’ve spent years navigating the push-pull between wanting to do everything and struggling to focus on one thing. MGs shouldn’t limit themselves; we’re built to innovate, experiment, and bring multiple passions to life. Creativity is who you are. And when you understand how you’re naturally designed to thrive, you stop fighting yourself and start creating from alignment.
For me, that realization came through Human Design. Being a Manifesting Generator (MG), I’ve always felt like I had to “niche down” and follow a more practical path. Only to realize that I’m built to pivot. The moment I stopped forcing myself into a box and started working with my natural design, everything clicked. That’s exactly why I launched Rebel Radiance. I built a brand that works for me.
Let’s break down the cheat codes in my Human Design that helped me stop fighting myself:
- My Authority: Emotional (Solar Plexus) – Every major decision I’ve made has been based on how it feels, not just what’s logical or trendy. When I made the mistake of doing logical things that didn’t feel right. I paid the price. That’s why I push alignment over hustle. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not sustainable.
- My Not-Self or Emotional Theme: Frustration – Whenever I tried to follow the advice of others, I hit a wall. I was exhausted, uninspired, and stuck. If you’re constantly frustrated with your work, that’s a sign that something’s misaligned. I’ve learned to make decisions based on how things feel, which ties into Rebel’s messaging about alignment and authenticity, and not forcing yourself into traditional business structures. Sometimes what feels good is better than just what’s logical or trendy.
- My Most Important Gift: The Desire to Feel Deeply (Gift 30) – I don’t just create for money. I create because I want my ideas to mean something. Passion and impact drive everything I do.
- My Higher Emotional Theme: Satisfaction – When I’m in flow, when I’m aligned, when I create in a way that feels right. I thrive. And that’s what I want for you, too.
- My Profile: 1/4 – The Omniscient Teacher – Deep knowledge + natural influence = Me educating, inspiring, and leading my audience toward transformation (ahem, like this blog)
So, what does your Human Design say about you? And how can you use it to turn your creative vortex into something that truly supports you?
This image shows a Manifesting Generator Human Design chart. Not mine- but one that looks very close to mine. All MGs have defined sacral chakras. Defined means colored or illuminated. Undefined centers are colorless. They are the lessons and parts of ourselves we have to pay more attention to in this lifetime.
Tapping into Your Creative Vortex: To Leverage Your Platform & Turn Ideas into Marketable Assets
The human mind is a vast reservoir of untapped potential. Human design is a powerful tool that provides insights into your innate qualities, strengths, and potential. By discovering your unique design, you gain an understanding of your authentic self and the most fulfilling path in your life. Embrace your design as a compass, guiding you to your true calling as a generator of creative ideas.
Being a generator means tapping into that potential and developing the ability to produce innovative ideas continuously. Being curious, exploring new things, and having a positive attitude toward learning will help you find new ways to solve problems and create successful business ideas. I will list some books and workbooks at the bottom to help you learn more about your human design.
Creators, influencers, and entrepreneurs possess valuable platforms that can serve as fertile ground for generating business ideas. They understand their audience’s problems and desires, tailoring ideas and pitches that resonate with their niche market. Selling these ideas can lead to a mutually beneficial exchange between creator and consumer. The key to transforming this concept into a thriving full-time income lies in building a platform that attracts and retains an engaged audience. Providing relevant information, building trust through authenticity, and maintaining consistency are critical steps in establishing a loyal following.
Never Let A Good Idea Leave You
The best ideas rarely show up when you’re sitting down, pen in hand, waiting for inspiration to strike. No, they prefer to sneak in when you’re shampooing your hair, mid-rant with a friend, or just as you’re about to fall asleep. And if you miss them? Poof—gone.
For Manifesting Generators, ideas move at lightning speed. One minute you’re thinking about launching a creative agency, and the next, you’re plotting a documentary about the secret lives of bartenders. Our minds are always buzzing with the next big thing, and if we don’t grab those ideas as they come, we risk losing them forever. That’s where voice recordings come in.
Voice Record Everything – Rant into voice notes like you’re leaving a message for your future CEO self.
Dump It in Morning Pages – Julia Cameron was onto something. Fill three pages daily with your chaotic brilliance before your brain starts overthinking. I bet your million-dollar ideas download to you at 5:45 am before you’ve wiped the crust from your eyes and had your morning coffee.
Use AI to Your Advantage – AI isn’t your enemy, it’s your assistant. Use it to transcribe notes, structure ideas, and bring your vision to life without doing the most. AI is everywhere! Why be afraid of it when you can use it to your advantage? Do less and make more!
Empowering the Broke and Lazy: From Idea Seller to Entrepreneur
Not everyone has the resources or inclination to build a business from scratch. For those who prefer a different approach, selling ideas can be a more lucrative option. Sometimes we have the ideas, but we don’t have the energy to execute the business. Air sign placements I’m looking at you. So sell your ideas! Learning marketing strategies or connecting with angel investors can lead to a successful career as an idea broker.
For those exploring their human design, the journey from idea seller to creator is one of empowerment. Your human design will guide you towards your ideal path as a creative social entrepreneur.
After reading this, take a second. Pull up your Human Design chart. Notice what clicks.
What if your so-called “weaknesses” (multi-passionate, chaotic, can’t niche down) were actually your biggest business strengths?
What if success came from leaning into who you already are, instead of fighting it?
I’ll leave you with that thought. But if you’re ready to go deeper, here’s where to start:
