DBAY (Doing Business as Yourself) is a Planet Andrea breakout room for people who are into living their Human Design experiment who also want to explore possibilities for how to navigate that in a world that maybe isn't ready for you to be that.
I (Andrea) & whoever else steps through this portal are here to brainstorm that w/you & guide you on the tech bits.
Primary Goal: Success, Satisfaction, Peace &/or Delight
Thought this thread was fascinating - here’s the original comment thread:

While the email is just a waste of everyone’s time, the difference in approaches and having HD awareness now …
I’m reading the comments with that filter … undefined ego, defined ego (or healthy undefined ego), undefined solar plexus — are the top three that feel glaring to me.
Money is such an easy place to notice these things.
My guess is that the writer of the email is undefined ego and defined solar plexus… oh and also a projector 🤭
You have any takeaways?
Of course, I would do best to sleep on making any moves first if it were sent to me - because emotional Authority 🤓
I dropped this into Planet Andrea Locals by mistake yesterday- it might be too weird for in here too - if I ever do an actual podcast for this,, might have to restart the numbers higher 😂
Anyway, here’s me waking up and talking mostly to myself yesterday morning 😜🙃
Maybe there’s a nugget or two 🤷🏻♀️ no promises though :)
AWA aka ‘Art With Andrea’, is one of the umbrella ideas I’m floating around with atm that cropped up as I’ve been going through the subscription box contemplation process. Even bought the domain.
This morning (as happens many mornings), I woke up with what felt like crystal clarity around how to possibly move forward with, I guess is, a Collective application (two of my channels are Collective - the conscious ones, number 3 is Tribal) of sharing the stuff that I do/ don’t do - today’s topic was art - and the way that I think about all that.
So that’s what this audio is about. The dots that connected in my head this morning in that ...
This dude helped form part of my copywriting foundation both directly and through other people I learned from who learned from him -
“How can a letter riddled with typos make $24,000 from one Facebook post?
So one time Frank Kern posted to his Facebook that my Book of Secrets sales page (new at the time) was the best he'd read in a long, long time.
#truestory
Yet, it was riddled with typos. OMG his Facebook blew up with people denouncing the letter. Whilst it sold $24,000 from his post, best as I can recall.
My Amazing Formula sales letter had typos I didn't fix for 3 years. I don't have all the numbers. But taking into account the back end, I'd imagine it sold a million or close to it in that time period.
My rule of thumb is that if it's raining money, don't touch it. You screw more stuff up by "fixing it" than you do leaving it alone.
My wife informs me the same rule of thumb doesn't apply round the house!
I'm not advocating typos. I advocate speed over perfection.
So yesterday an old friend made a comment that my post couldn't have been made by a.i.
Because. of. ...
Hahahaha, I just spotted this question in an art group and thought it was so appropriate for understanding ‘value’ at a foundation level.
I run into so many people who would happily eat up my day and be ever so thankful once they’re done. 🙄
Shocker they often also don’t consider/value their own time and energy either.
Of course there’s other important value to consider beyond this trading time thing … :)

And here’s one commenter - sounds like a bitter projector 😂
I asked ChatGPT for some tactful responses, and then I asked, "Now make them snarky." The snarky responses are much more fun, so I thought I'd share them here. Lol!
"Wow, it’s such an honor to be chosen as your free labor! Sadly, my bills don’t have the same level of admiration for me, so I’ll need to charge my regular rates."
"Oh, sure! Let me just check if the gas station will fill my tank for free because we’re such good friends. Spoiler ...
When your backstory becomes your Mission Statement …
How we arrive places may seem mundane and boring to us, but it can often be more important for connecting with the correct people (for us) than can be immediately obvious.
Here’s an example of what I’m taking about:
While I’m waiting for the 21 additional sample mock-ups to be published to my new artist portal on this new platform (that I finally set into motion yesterday), I got to wandering around a bit on their site.
Had never been to the front of it before 😄
Found my way to a page with a succinct and not overly flowery origin story.
And I kinda love it 🥰
Speaks almost perfectly to me - the only word that grates a bit (ironically, because of overuse as a buzzword maybe) is ‘ethical’.
That’s funny to notice :)

But anyway, great example of how to write out context simply (in a nutshell) for the people you would be serving.
Imho, of course 🤗
