A couple of years ago.
My business coach invited a ‘Human Design Expert’ to deliver a guest presentation to our group.
I’d never heard of HD before.
At first I thought HD was some ‘woo-woo’ spiritual BS.
But this presenter blew my mind!
Understanding HD was a liberating experience. It led me down a deep rabbit hole learning more about my HD.
Understanding my HD has helped me be more effective with my energy in business and finances. It’s helped me understand what strategies work best for my energy type.
Human Design is a system for understanding your personality, energy, and life purpose.
If you’ve done ‘DISC’ or ‘Myers-Briggs’ before then you will love this!
HD combines elements from astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, chakras, and quantum physics.
Now I know what you’re thinking…
This sound like some ‘woo-woo- spiritual BS!
But I encourage you to open your mind.
In today’s Newsletter I will share a high-level overview of the five Human Design types. Plus I will share how my unique HD makes me an epic financial coach for business owners.
The 5 Human Design Types
There is a lot to learn in Human Design. I’ve only scratched the surface so far. But the most common component of HD are the five energy blueprints.
1. Manifestors are the initiators who bring new ideas into the world.
2. Generators are the builders who have sustainable energy to work on what they love.
3. Manifesting Generators are a blend of Manifestors and Generators. They move fast and have diverse interests.
4. Projectors are the guides who excel in leading others and offering wisdom.
5. Reflectors are sensitive individuals who reflect the energy of their environment.
70% of the population are Generators or Manifesting Generators. These types have a defined ‘sacral’ centre. Meaning they have access to ‘consistent energy’. These types are the ‘builders’ or the ‘doers’ of the world.
My wife is a Generator. She can go-go-go all day! She’s like one of those energizer bunnies.
Projectors make up 20% of the population, Manifestors 9% and Reflectors 1%. All these energy types have an undefined sacral centre. This means they DO NOT have consistent energy like the other types.
I’m a Projector. We need lots of rest. But the cool thing about Projectors is we can achieve more in 2-3 hours than what a Generator can do in 8!
Projectors, Manifestors and Reflectors have a challenge. We have been CONDITIONED to operate like the Generators and Manifesting Generators. But we are not energiser bunnies like my wife… And if we try to be, we will burnout fast.
“How am I ever going to keep up with these people?”
This is what I used to think to myself before I knew about HD.
But now I know these people were Generators or Manifesting Generators. I’ll never be able to keep up with them. And that’s ok. Work and success looks different for Projectors, Manifestors and Reflectors.

Why being a 6/2 Projector makes me an EPIC Financial Coach for Business Owners
1. Throughout my life people have always come to me for advice. This makes sense because Projectors are natural mentors and coaches. We’re here to manage, guide and direct others.
2. Serving people 1:1 is my jam. I’ve always had this ability where strangers feel safe opening up to me and we go deep FAST. This is important because it can be hard for business owners to open up to others about their finances.
3. While you’re stuck in ‘doing’ mode, I’m like the wise old owl sitting up in the tree. I’m here to show you a more efficient way to manage your finances and guide you to your destination.
4. Projectors are masters at systems. We take the complex and make it look simple. That’s what I do with money management systems. I take you from confusion to clarity.
5. Projectors don’t have consistent energy. This means we must work smarter, not harder. F*ck hustle culture. I’m here to show you a more efficient way to reach your financial goals.
6. Line 6’s love experimenting and we put ourselves through lots of trial and error. From these experiences we extract the wisdom and share it with you. This means you can gain my financial wisdom without investing the 1,000s of hours like I have.
7. Line 6’s are natural role models and leaders. We walk our talk. We practise what we preach. To be honest I’ve always been a reluctant leader. But my actions have always resulted in me leading others.
8. Line 2’s are ‘naturals’. We make our craft look effortless. We don’t need extensive training or formal education to master our skill sets. Our gifts are innate. When the right invitations come we share our gifts to the right people who invite us into their world.
