~What might/does/can Living AND Doing Business as Yourself look like for you?~

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

Massive DBAY download after months (and months) of relative stillness

Good grief waiting can seem endless sometimes.

This round has been a real test for me.

Even being in year 10 of my experiment … the ruckus my Mind attempted to hijack my body Authority with was off the chart.

Thankful for having been in experiment for this long because being able to tell it to take an f-ing chill pill was pretty swift … and my days continued to pass pleasantly.

But boy it tried. 🙄

How that connects to my DBAY life is quite directly.

Perhaps it’s my Markets Environment piece that makes it this obvious; when I’m not selling/transacting/preparing to or in service to fulfilling on offers … I’m in waiting mode for the next interesting enough idea to put forth as such.

Period.

That’s what really lights me up.

Coming up with and activating yummy win/win offers for the people who recognize me.

Okay I guess eating delicious food is right up there with offer making and win/win transacting.

But as I’m often not the chef (though the waiting period this time has shifted that somewhat in a particular direction) a even that involves transactional activities - paying for exquisite food (remember I’m Taste PHS - this piece is non-negotiable for me … to be me), or shopping for the ingredients for a next (baking!) experiment. It’s still Markets related full stop.

So. Back to my download (it landed in a google doc - that’s when I know I’m serious 😅)

Part of what I was wrestling with was the old “focus on one thing” thing … which I’m sure has the effect of being more profitable sooner …

And largely is perfect for someone with Color 1, as an example of ‘not me mechanics’

Or a Left Mind/Brain perhaps. 🤔

Or Probability view…

Me over here 👈🏽 with a 1/3 trial and error profile, unexpected cross, possibility view & an open head and G …. well shoot … choosing a direction and thinking I know what’s interesting… pfft, it’s just not how I’m wired.

And so - my wave has landed - as usual - on a multi pronged approach … it’s a bit of a try a bunch of things and see what takes root reality.

Sort of like my gardening … I though I was planting kale, but what worked was bok choy and mustard - those where the extra things I tossed into a raised bed a couple months ago not expecting much. Oh and radishes too - those were effortless.

Imagine if I’d only planted Kale 🤓

The ideas are still developing out over on the google doc … but phew once they start getting written down, it really is like planting them.

Now they can take root.

Maybe the easiest way to share that process with you is to link the doc? 🤔

There were a couple of criteria that kept coming up for me -

I wanted more ways to talk to people casually about HD, in service to solid foundation setting.

I also have been craving something that can be delivered physically.

And also something consumable.

I’ve never before been able to nail down something consumable that made sense to me, but Florida guidelines for Cottage Food businesses under $250k have provided a short list of possibilities to dream up stuff to make from.

And then there’s Quail. Not quite ready to make a move in that front, but I think it’s coming. Egg selling will be the transaction part and meat for our freezer is in my hopper too. Apparently I have to get ALL the way to the bottom of things with that before I have clarity. Even though they’re hardier than you might imagine. There’s a lot that can go wrong. And stuff to be prepared for. Infrastructure to acquire/build.

Good news though - I’ve found a local homesteader who’s willing to sell me matured egg laying hens. 🥰

THEN if I like that well enough … incubating eggs >> to raising chicks >> to grown birds can commence. But yeah - whole other kettle of fish 👀.

So what are the general categories of offers?

All 3-12mo subscriptions:

  • HD and Art open studio - bi-weekly zooms

  • Planet Andrea Pessure Masters zooms | seeing the Notself in our everyday lives - bi-weekly zooms

  • Planet Andrea Bookmark+ | artsy subscription box (physically mailed - earlybird mini launch open now)

  • Planet Andrea micro bakery (all the social platforms are conveniently serving me up sourdough and farmstand reels atm 😅) - mostly preorders, mostly local but some shipping possible.

  • and Quail eggs 🪺 (maybe not subscription, but am gonna see about finding a way to incentivize consistent buyers) either way, the eggs will also be for baking with.

Of course, my handful or so of annual HD lens guided clients continues. Sometimes that’s as many as 6 or 7, because honestly, that’s enough lives to be all up
in the details of. They’re hand-invited.

And my digital programs, but if feels like they are better offered as part of these other mechanisms - to be able to sidestep selling stuff to people who haven’t already made a nod of recognition.

‘Cause for this 1/3 tribal gal - THAT is a pain in the neck more often than not.

So, there you have it. The culmination of this round of waiting. :)

I thank all who had some part in arriving here. 🙌🏽

All of the mind shenanigans are now gone and a lovely sigh of clarity has arrived 🩷

Whatcha think?

Anything pulling on your curiosity? 🤔🙂

AWA Podcast 0001? - early morning thoughts on gathering and organizing content as I go

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 ...

[Andrea Update] When work isn’t work 🙂

Unexpected. 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

But my body keep saying yes 👍🏽

I am seeing lots of ways it makes sense that it suits me Design-wise.

Can expand on that part in a separate post if that’s interesting?

🤔

Meanwhile, here’s a short video sharing what I’ve been up to the last couple weeks 🥳

(been trying to get this uploaded for what feels like several days - clearly, YouTube is the way forward)

Affiliate marketing in its purest form

This video is from a gal named Adeline, who promoted the same high ticket affiliate program as I did years ago (before it self-destructed in 2018).

She’s recently resurfaced (promoting something else high ticket, I forget what already - if I know at all, that’s how much it caught my attention - so far anyway 🤓)

But the content she’s doing on this new IG account is sort of a ‘classic recipe’ for “if you were starting an affiliate monetized income stream from scratch, here’s what could lead to success”.

I just bumped into one of the pieces of content she’s added (via an old FB group that she resurrected a couple weeks ago) that features a Clickbank Marketplace information product as the affiliate thingy that’s being sold.

Here’s a link to that video -

What she’s showing is showing a way (in like a minute 🙂) to use already existing content to support building out a topic specific IG account that then can bring ...

I got an unexpected notification on FB this morning.

About a video that my dad and I made about why teaching in groups can be a good thing.
