Human Design and Making Money in your Business: Generators
Ever feel like you're everyone's go-to person when shit needs to get done? That you somehow always have energy for "just one more thing"? That you say yes to every bloody opportunity because, well, you can handle it?
You're probably a Generator - making up about 37% of the population alongside Manifesting Generators (another 33%). Together, you represent the majority of people, and here's the kicker: the entire working world has been designed around your energy type.
What the hell is Human Design?
Human Design is basically your user manual for how you are personally designed to operate in the world. It combines ancient wisdom systems like astrology with modern science like quantum physics and genetics.
Here's what makes it so powerful for business: it shows us how we are designed to make decisions, how our energy works best, and how we are meant to interact with the world around us. The world's population is divided into five energy types, and understanding yours is the game-changer for your business strategy.
Your energetic superpower as a Generator
Generators have a "defined sacral center" - your personal power plant that gives you:
Consistent, sustainable energy: You're the only type with access to your own reliable energy source that can work day after day without burning out.
Natural magnetism when aligned: When you're doing what lights you up, people are drawn to you like moths to a flame - and they want to throw money at you.
Capacity for long-term success: You can confidently build sustainable revenue streams and longer-term client relationships because you've got the energetic stamina.
Why you burn out (and how to stop)
Here's the f*cked up part: just because you can do everything doesn't mean you should. You've been conditioned to think your reliable energy can be used for anyone and anything - even in your own business.
The truth bomb: Your energy is only designed to be spent on things that actually light you up.
Instead of saying yes to every opportunity because you have the capacity:
Do an energy audit - what actually excites you vs. drains you in your business?
Trust your sacral response - that gut feeling that says "hell yes" or "not for me"
Remember: having space in your calendar doesn't mean you should fill it with misaligned work
Put yourself in spaces where opportunities can find you, rather than chasing them
Your profit potential
Several factors make Generators naturally profitable:
Magnetic attraction: When you're genuinely lit up by what you're doing, people can feel it. They want to work with you because of that intangible energy, not just your deliverables.
Sustainable systems: Your consistent energy allows you to build long-term client relationships and recurring revenue streams that other types struggle to maintain.
Premium positioning: When you're energized by your work, you naturally attract better clients who pay higher prices because they're buying into your enthusiasm, not just your service.
Team amplification: Your lit-up energy amplifies your team's productivity, giving you better ROI on staff investments.
How to attract clients (and more cash)
Your strategy as a Generator is to respond, not initiate. This might sound counterintuitive in a "hustle culture" world, but chasing opportunities will drain you and repel good clients.
Instead:
Get out and have conversations - let external inputs spark your responses
Move your body, attend events, listen to podcasts - create space for opportunities to find you
Trust that the deals that come to you will always be better than ones you're chasing
Use your sacral response to filter opportunities - only say yes to genuine "f*ck yes" moments
Final thoughts
If you're a Generator reading this: stop apologising for having energy. You've been conditioned to be the "worker bee" who supports everyone else's vision, but that's bullshit. Your consistent energy is designed to build your wealth, not make everyone else rich.
You can be the leader, the visionary, the premium-priced expert. You just need to deconditioning yourself from the belief that your energy belongs to everyone else.
Stop dimming your light to make others comfortable. When you're genuinely excited about your work, you become magnetic. People want to buy from you, work for you, and collaborate with you.
Your job isn't to do everything for everyone - it's to do the things that light you up so brilliantly that others can't help but be drawn into your orbit.
The world needs your consistent, sustainable energy channeled toward what genuinely excites you. That's where the magic happens, and that's where the real profit is made.
