Episode Transcript
Welcome back to Unjaded. I am super excited to be with you here today. I have just finished the last of our three day masterclass series at the time of this recording, and I am fired up and ready to go.
Welcome to Unjaded. This is your straight talk, shoot from the hip, wrapped in a little bit of love, Human Design for Business podcast. We talk a lot here about clarifying your message so that you can bring in paying clients with ease and ease is different from easy. Stick around to find out how we roll here. I'm your host, Vickie Dickson. I am a 2/4 emotional manifesting generator, light on the emotional, and I'm a quad right in human design in real speak. I am an entrepreneur of 30 plus years. I've had every kind of business there is, and I always say that business is my love language. I can't wait to dive in with you here on the podcast.
So I thought it would be fun to take you through some of what we have done in the three day masterclass series because these are some of the things that you can be doing in your content now in order to bring you paying clients. So on day one, we talked a lot about your human design profile and how it influences your content, because your profile is the role that you were here to play in the movie of your life. It's who you be as you move through your life, and your content needs to reflect that. We also talked about the types of content that everybody tells you that you have to be posting all the time, and then you post all of this content. You spend so much time slaving over posting this content and it doesn't get you hired. So you may have heard that you need to be posting more educational content and you feel like you're basically teaching a free course on Instagram with your content. You may be feeling like you have to be entertaining people and you don't want to dance on reels.
Hello, I'm with you on that one. You may be feeling like you rely way too much on inspiring content. You just go to your default of, oh, I can't think of anything to post, so I'm just going to post something inspiring and at least it will be uplifting and it will add love and light into the world and all of those things, but it doesn't get you hired. The other thing that I think there's one other type of content that you're either using it too much or you're never using it, and that is sales content. Right? We either shy completely away from selling content or we're selling in some way or another all the time. And selling can be as little as a constant call to action for people, you know, wearing your audience out, asking them to comment, words and things like this. So we talked about those types of content, and then we talked about how to add the flavor that actually makes people want to hire you. And that flavor that you want to be thinking about adding is things that build authority in your content.
You need to show up as an authority in your content in order to get hired. You can educate until the cows come home. You can inspire all day long, and nobody is going to hire you if you haven't built authority. You want to also make your content relatable. You want to empathize and relate without jumping in the pool with your people, without being like, oh, I'm here with you. I feel you so much. You know, you're not there with them. You are a few steps ahead of the people who are going to hire you.
And then, of course, your people need to trust you in order to hire you. And the way that you build trust is by showing up on the regular. People need to be able to count on you. They need to know what you stand for and that you're going to still stand for that tomorrow and a week from now and a month from now in your content. So that was day one. On day two, we took a detour. We were going to cover something completely different. But in the Facebook group, what I noticed is that people are not clear on the problem that they solve.
Most people are not clear on the problem that they solve. And you can never create the right kind of content, the content that's going to get you hired if you don't know what you actually solve for your people. So, you know, we tend to think of niche as the person that we serve. You know, we've done all of these exercises around our ideal client, avatar, and what she drives and how much money she makes and who she's married to and where she lives, what kind of jeans she wears and all of these things. And it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, what I invite you to really put some thought into is what is the problem that you actually solve? Because if you're not solving a problem in your business, then you are a nice to have and you don't want to be a nice to have. You need to be a need to have. People need what you have.
But if they don't know that you solve a problem for them, they can't need you enough in order to hire you. And then today, we just got off the call today. Oh, my gosh. So much happened today. We talked about the seven places in your human design that you can be leveraging in order to bring paying clients into your world. And I am going to cover those quickly with you here today. So the first thing we talked about is your human design strategy. That's kind of a no brainer, right? If you're here, you already understand that you have a strategy in your human design.
However, I teach a lot of human design practitioners in the content by design course. And the thing that they say the most is, oh, my God. Now I finally know what it means to use my strategy in my content. I was using it in other parts of my life, but I didn't know how to use it in my content, and now I do. And then we look at your profile, which we've already talked about here. We look at who you're here to serve, and you can find this in the lines of your nodes. So I know that might be weird language. If you're new to human design and you're here, what I'm going to do is pop a human design chart into the show notes for you, and I'll have these things circled so that you know where to find it.
So you're going to look at the lines of your node to see who you actually are talking to. You're going to see the profile lines of the people that you're talking to. So you'll have your profile, which is who you're here to be, and then the profile of the people you're talking to, which is who you're speaking to. So you need to consider that in your content. Then you're going to look at your mercury. Now, in the human design circles, you will hear that your mercury is your message. And I got into so much trouble with this in my own design, it kept me stuck for so long. My conscious mercury is gate 27.
Gate 27 is a theme in my design, and it is all about nurturing. Oftentimes, the old and the young, we have an affinity to the old and the young, to keeping everybody close and safe. We are mama bears. We're nurturing. And I worked with so many coaches, some of them very, very expensive coaches at the time. It was $1,000 an hour at the time, a few years ago. And I came out of these coaching containers always being told that I needed to be a self love or a self esteem coach. If you've been in my world a while, you would not necessarily look at any of the content that I produce, any of the things in my world and think, oh my God, that girl needs to be teaching self love.
She's so soft, right? No, that's not how I roll. And it really kept me stuck because I tried to make myself fit into this. And there's danger in that in the human design space. There's danger in taking one piece of your human design and being like, I am, this, this is what I have to do. So what we look at in the content by designs, courses, we look at all of these pieces and how they relate to one another. It's all in the nuances. That is the goal in your human design is in the nuances. How does everything kind of sit together? How does it make the beautiful soup that is you? So we also look at your unconscious Mars, because your unconscious Mars is said to be your vocation.
And your deepest wound, your core wound, is in that unconscious Mars. So that is something that needs to be expressed when you speak from the scar and not the wound. That needs to be expressed in your content. And it is going to deeply, deeply flavor your message. We look at your openness versus your definition. So you'll hear in human design circles that you want to sell from your openness and deliver from your definition. Another way to think of that is any of the open or undefined areas in your design are where you call people to you, right? Those are themes that play out in relationship and your customer, your clients are relationships. You're in relationship with your customers and clients.
So you can draw people to you in your sales messaging through the openness in your design. But you're always going to deliver from your definition, because your definition is what you breathe out into the world. Your definition is who you be in the world. One of the other quick things that we talked about, and we spend a lot of time on this in the course, is the energy that either reaches or tries to reach your throat. Because you could be someone who has a lot of pressure on your throat coming from, say, your emotional center or coming from your spleen. There's a way that you're supposed to speak. There's a way that you are able to speak, I should say, based on the energy that is pushing for your throat, because those are things that long to be expressed. So that's a little bit of what we went over today.
We did hot seats like crazy. We were over 2 hours on the call and it was so much fun. If you are thinking about joining us in the content by design course, the doors are now open. They opened yesterday and I would love to have you in there with me. I'm going to put that link in the show notes for you so that you can check it out if you are ready to really own your message, so that you call your paying clients to you with ease. Every time you post, every time you write a blog, every time you deliver a podcast episode, whatever content you're putting out into the ethers, it has a job to do and that job is to get you hired. If you are just creating content for the sake of filling up the ethers and satisfying the algorithm, then you're missing the mark because your content should be getting you hired. And if it's not, I would love nothing more than to fix that with you so that you have a real legit business and you make a go of it because the world needs what you have.
I'm also going to put a link in the show notes for you. There is a replay page for these three sessions with me. It's about 5 hours of content in the room with me and whether the content by design course is in the cards for you or not, you will be able to get value from this masterclass series and move yourself closer to creating the content that gets you hired. Thank you for being here in my world. I appreciate you and I'll see you back here next Monday.

Episode Transcript
It was a Monday morning, September 25, 2023, and the unjaded Human Design for Entrepreneurs podcast had hit the airwaves. We were doing a fun thing with our listeners where we had unjaded mugs, we had swag that we gave out, and people were sharing about the podcast. If you were there on day one, I would love, love, love to hear from you because you have made this podcast a success over the last year. And I thank you. So we were doing this thing with swag where people were sharing on social media, and we wanted to climb the charts to become one of the best podcasts in Canada. And we did it. We did it because it's a numbers game, right? So just like a best selling book hits the charts by, you know, playing with the numbers. We did that with this podcast, and it was so much fun.
I hope you had fun doing it if you were here and if you weren't here. We're going to do it again for the anniversary, so don't you worry. Welcome to Unjaded, your straight talk shoot from the hip, wrapped in a little bit of love. Human design for business podcast. We talk a lot here about clarifying your message so that you can bring in paying clients with ease. And ease is different from easy. Stick around to find out how we roll here. I'm your host, Vicki Dixon.
I am a two four emotional manifesting generator, light on the motional, and I'm a quadrite in human design in realspeak. I am an entrepreneur of 30 plus years. I've had every kind of business there is, and I always say that business is my love language. I can't wait to dive in with you here on the podcast. So welcome to the anniversary episode of the Unjaded podcast, and thank you for being here today. I'm going to take you behind the scenes and tell you how and why this podcast came to be and how I come up with content for it, and how the flow of the podcast has been over the course of the year. And I'm going to do this in a way that brings in your human design and your need for content creation in your business. Okay? So hold onto your hat.
This is going to be a long one. I mean, longer than what we normally go for on this podcast, but full of lots of juicy nuggets that you can use in your own business. So back in 2023, I attended Randy Gage's tribal mastermind. It was his signature event at the time. His last one, it was his swan song. There were 13 of us in the room, and I remember getting an email saying to bring your podcasting equipment and somebody would be able to interview him for their podcast. And I thought, I'm not really drawn to a podcast. I have no interest in a podcast.
This was, I think, like, say, around July, mid July last year. And we get into the room and everybody's talking about podcasting, podcasting, podcasting. And Randy is talking about how search is going to audio and how we best get more audio. That needs to be our main focus is getting more audio out into the ethers as quickly as we can. So there's number one tip for you. If you're not using audio in your business, find a way to be using audio. If you do, you don't want to do a podcast, that's okay. But you could do a vlog, you could do some YouTube videos, you could do screen shares on YouTube.
If you don't want to have your face on YouTube, I'm going to say, not so lovingly and gently, but you may need to get over that if you're in business, okay, not having your face online. But if it's just not for you, then screen recordings, things like that can be good for your YouTube. But get your voice out into the ethers because search is going to audio. So I kept hearing this over and over and over again at tribal. And then there came the day where we had the chance to interview Randy for a podcast. I'm like, I don't even have a podcast. I don't know what I would say. I don't know what I would ask.
I'm just. I don't know. But I could feel my sacral. Like I always say, it's being zhuzhed up. I could feel my sacral being zhuzhed up. I was like, oh, do I want a podcast? Like, I was getting lots of things to respond to as a manifesting generator. And I had made two friends fairly quickly at tribal. We're still friends now.
We are business buddies, and we do so many things together. We talk almost every day. But Lori Anne Mirabido has her own podcast called in demand. It is all about speaking to grow your business. And she and Tessa Brock, who also has a podcast in the mental health field, they were really pushing me to go for this opportunity, and I kind of sat back like my introverted second line self and just let the opportunity pass. But, you know, it wasn't there for me. Like, it wasn't there in my sacral for me to do this interview with Randy. It just didn't feel like the right thing, and I knew it wasn't the right thing, so I came home, and I kept feeling this draw towards a podcast, and I kept hearing Randy's voice in my head about audio search.
So I came home, and within six weeks of having those conversations at tribal, the podcast was born. The undated podcast was born. And just like any birth, it was beautiful. And there was some ugliness at the same time. There was blood and guts. As I found my way along, you know, I started recording at the cottage, and I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. I didn't know that you needed a soft room. I had a microphone and headphones, just the little Apple wired headphones, and I thought that was all that you needed.
And I was at the cottage, which is all hardwood, and I had a fan running in the upstairs window, and I sent some test runs to Lorianne, and she's like, there's a weird hum there. And here I am thinking, some magical editor in the sky is going to be able to take all of this and make it perfect, right? I didn't really get it, so I made a lot of mistakes. There was one episode at the cottage in the very first five episodes, where I actually am in a blanket fort. I pulled myself. I'm like, okay, I need a soft space. So I sat on one of the beds upstairs. I turned off all of the noise everywhere, had the windows closed, and I put myself into a blanket fort to be able to get some softness around me, to be able to record the podcast, because I had hired an editor, and she really needed those episodes in order to get them ready, because we were doing a big launch. Right? In my world, everything is go big or go home.
So if you were there from the beginning, again, thank you. But, you know, we launched this in a big way. We launched seven or eight episodes on day one, and we did a lot of hype around it so that we would climb the charts. And I'm going to talk to you about that chart climb in this episode as well. So, for me, it's always done as better than perfect. And I know that that can drive people crazy, and I know that I make a lot of mistakes, partly why I have such an affinity to third line profiles in human design, especially three fives, because as a manifesting generator, really going where my sacral guides me and being in response to life around me, things don't always go smoothly, and I can kind of wear people out because I have so much energy in me to do the things right, but done is better than perfect. And I remember hearing in the very beginning that if you're not embarrassed by your first few episodes, then you haven't put it all on the line. So let's just say that everything was on the line.
And when I go back, I'm mortified at those first few episodes. I still link to them in blogs and things and I'm like, oh, sweet Jesus, and you will be too. So when you do something that's scary, when you do something that's really big, that's going to move your business forward, you're going to look back on those first things that you did and be embarrassed that they are the way they are because they're not going to be polished like they will be later. Just like this episode that I'm doing today. You know, a year from now, I'm going to look back on this and go, oh my gosh, what was I thinking? Because we just keep growing. At least that's what we're here for if we're in business, right, is that we're just on this personal growth journey and we get to try all of the things and just keep learning and growing as we go along. So just do the thing in your business already. Okay? All right.
I have this part of me, this gate 27 that nurtures it is a theme in my design. It is both my vocation and my core wound and gene keys, and it is my conscious mercury. So it's a big part of how I do the things that I do and how I speak the way that I speak my entire design is about bringing you along on my journey. I lead by example, often with the egg on my face as things go wrong. And I'm putting that in air quotes because maybe you can relate. And if you've been here on the podcast a while, you've seen that where it is beautiful and gets a bit dicey for me, is that some of my people, and I thank you. If you are listening here, and you are one of these people, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for being here. Some of my people have been with me for decades because that's what my design does.
My design brings you with me on the journey. And some of my people have been with me for three decades through every iteration of my business, whether I was in clothing and accessories, furniture, holistic health, essential oils, frequency therapy, crystals, or human design. You have come with me and I can fall into this shadow pattern in this gate 27 energy of thinking and feeling. Like, I owe it to you to bring you with me. Even when that's no longer where my energy is. So as a generator or a manifesting generator, remember that what the universe wants you to do is play in the energy of what's alive for you right now. As a second line profile in my own human design, it's all about what's alive for me right now. What am I being called to do? Because remember, as a second line, it's about the call.
You will have your gifts called from you, and you got to be ready to go when that gift is called out. And then as a quad, right? In my own design, it's about what people are pulling out of me. So I've had a winding road to refining my niche, and the podcast has been a huge kind of mirror for me. When I've looked back on my episodes, I'm like, whoa. I can see the clarity and the refining in my niche as I've gone along. So I want to unpack that with you because I know that if you're here and you're listening and you have a business, this niche conversation can be a hard thing to wrap your head around. And especially in the human design space, right? We hear that human design is the niche, and it can be in the beginning. But I'm going to walk you through how it can feel to define your niche and why you're going to want to define your niche as you go along.
It's coming. If you're tired of being a slave to the algorithm and you're really ready to claim your place in the online space, then this message is for you. I'm getting ready to launch another live round of the content by design course, where you learn to leverage your human design so that you can create content that draws your ideal clients to you with ease, without feeling yucky or salesy, and definitely without being a slave to the algorithm. We work on blog posts and email sequences and podcast episodes and social media posts and all of the things. Because no matter what you're creating, it needs to come from who you are here to be, what you're here to say, how you're here to say it, and who you're here to say it to. Get on the waitlist. The link is in the show notes for you. So in the beginning, my niche was broad.
I still had my holistic health practice. I had a bricks and mortar store that had the great fortune of opening on March 7, 2020. Really bad timing. And side note on that, I should do an episode on that one time. I knew that that was not the thing for me I remember sitting there signing the papers and hoping someone else would back out because I didn't feel like I could back out, even though I wanted to. So that's. That's something about the emotional authority piece that we'll dive into another day. But in the beginning, my niche was broad.
It was human design for life, relationships, and the business you were made for. And because I was still serving in my holistic health practice and I had a crystal business, I still had a lot of my people who've been with me forever, and I wanted to bring them along because my design brings something new into the community and brings people along in that new thing. And with that gate 27 in such a prominent place, there can be a lot of like, oh, I just really want to nurture you and keep you with me. The thing is, I knew in my soul, even back then, that it was business for me. I knew that it wasn't about relationships. I knew that it wasn't about life. Even though I love doing, like, relationship charts and things like that. It was all about business.
I've been a successful entrepreneur for over three decades. I have built four multiple six figure businesses on my own and one in partnership. But, you know, when I was starting out, a well known teacher in our space looked at my design in a group meeting, and she said that I really wasn't built for business. And it was so early in my human design journey that I believed her. And I felt like a fraud. So I tried to be about something else, even though this inner calling, this second line being called out was always being called out for business. And if you look back on the last year of the podcast, you'll see that I'm going further and further and further into business because that's what I'm made for. I can look at those first episodes.
I can look at, you know, by the time this airs, we will be almost at 100 episodes, if not at 100. And I can look over the course of that year and go, wow. My soul just kept calling me further into my niche. So for me, thankfully, another reader very, very early in my human design journey was like, looking at my chart and she's like, WTF else are you here for if you are not here for business? That makes no sense. All I see is business when I look at your design. And here's the lesson that I want you to take from that. As you listen to this podcast, you get to do what lights you up. You get to do what you're called to do.
Stop looking for answers outside of yourself....

Episode Transcript
Welcome back to Unjaded. This week we are going to be celebrating one year together on the Unjaded podcast. So along with the daily drop episodes that are going out every day for the month of September, there's a special anniversary episode coming up in just a couple of days, so make sure you catch that one on September 25. Welcome to Unjaded. This is your straight talk shoot from the hip, wrapped in a little bit of love. Human design for business podcast. We talk a lot here about clarifying your message so that you can bring in paying clients with ease. And ease is different from easy.
Stick around to find out how we roll here. I'm your host, Vicki Dixon. I am a two four emotional manifesting generator, light on the motional, and I'm a quadrite in human design. In realspeak. I am an entrepreneur of 30 plus years. I've had every kind of business there is, and I always say that business is my love language. I can't wait to dive in with you here on the podcast. And for today's episode, I'm answering a listener question.
Listener Question from Cat Matson:
Hi, Vickie. Cat Matson here from impactful presenters. My question is, as a manifesting generator, how do I set goals if I'm not designed to initiate? What's the role of goals in my business and how do I set them in a way that they're empowering and encouraging and not shoulding? Thanks.
Ah, that's a good question. Right? Response is such an interesting piece of the puzzle. And I hear this over and over again again from generator and manifesting generator clients and audience members that they really don't understand what response means. I had a conversation with someone just a couple of weeks ago, and she was saying that she always thought that response had to be another person, that she was waiting for another person to give her something to respond to. And I'm like, no, no, no. You can respond to anything in the universe. The whole universe is conspiring with you as a generator type, so you don't need another person in order to get going on something. But this question is so good because how do we set goals? Why do we set goals if we're just waiting for our response to guide us around the planet? So I'm really of the camp that business is business, right? There are things that need to be done in your business and your life, no matter what your human design type.
And how I encourage you to use human design and how I use my human design is to do the things that need to be done in alignment with my human design, because that is my path of least resistance. That always makes things easier. So goal setting for me is something where I'm in response. I absolutely love January. I know we set goals other times other than January, but I love January because I am really in the energy of responding to the things around me. I'm really in response to the energy of the books that I'm reading, the people that I'm listening to, maybe the podcasts I'm listening in on, the audiobooks I'm listening in on. When I'm going for my walks, there's lots of response happening for me because you've heard me say here before, my sacral is all juiced up. Like it really feels juicy in my body to be in the energy of goal setting.
So I think you are responding when you're setting goals. You're setting your goals based on what you've responded to. Maybe you've been inspired by someone who's making a million dollars in their business. Maybe you've been inspired by someone who's making a hundred thousand dollars in their business. Maybe you've been inspired by the way someone's feed looks on social media when you go on, or the way they show up in their email, or an event that you'd love to attend, a mastermind that you'd like to be a part of. There's all kinds of things that you're responding to, but sometimes I think that we don't recognize it as response. We feel like because it's starting to happen in our body, it can't be the thing, right? But when we really lean into that and trust the juiciness of our sacral center, we get to feel that kind of guiding us towards things and away from things. So I think you do still go ahead and set the goals.
I mean, even think about going to the gym, right, or setting goals for your physical health. If you never have something that you're working towards, then chances are, you know, your health is just going to fall by the wayside. You're going to get more and more out of shape. Whereas if you have a goal of, you know what, I would like to be in this type of shape, or I would like to be at this weight easily, or I would like to be this flexible, you know, you're thinking of those things, then you're going to work towards it. And then within that, with that goal in mind, then you can choose your workouts by what you're in response to. Some days you're going to do yoga, some days you're going to do kettlebells. Some days you're going to do hiit training. Some days you're going to run, but you kind of play within it.
But you do have a picture of what you're really going for in life. And, you know, my, my childhood days of Bible verses are coming back to me. Without a vision, the people perish. And I think that we all need a vision. No matter the human design type, you need to have that vision, and then you use your human design strategy and the rest of your design, but you use your human design strategy in order to create the path of least resistance towards that goal. Does that make sense? I hope that it makes sense. And I don't think our goals should ever be a should thing. Right.
I think maybe that's another piece of human design where human design makes it a little bit easier, where we no longer have to have those shoulds on us. Like we know that. Okay. This is the general idea of what I'd like to get to. And I'm 100% open, dear universe, to you, guiding me there some way, somehow. And I'm going to set the plans in place in my business that I know my business requires of me. And I'm just going to trust that I'm going to get sign after sign after sign put in my way. That's going to guide me on the path to get to this goal.
That's the most beautiful thing about your human design, is that it will guide you in a way that doesn't break your life. It's coming. If you're tired of being a slave to the algorithm and you're really ready to claim your place in the online space, then this message is for you. I'm getting ready to launch another live round of the content by design course, where you learn to leverage your human design so that you can create content that draws your ideal clients to you with ease, without feeling yucky or salesy, and definitely without being a slave to the algorithm. We work on blog posts and email sequences and podcast episodes and social media posts and all of the things. Because no matter what you're creating, it needs to come from who you are here to be, what you're here to say, how you're here to say it, and who you're here to say it to get on the waitlist. The link is in the show notes for it.
