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
Something from nothing. It’s how I roll. 🤷🏻♀️
Yep, Video Sprint being born over in the Doing Business as Yourself FB group atm.
You’re invited :)

Here’s how that happened -
Recently … within the last week, I found myself asking whether there was anyone who might like to do a Video Sprint together - as a way to stir up some content-making energy … for each of us.
Raised hands makes it a thing. People raised their hands, now it’s a thing that’s in motion.
One of the points I want to drive home/model - especially since these are mostly people with inconsistent sacral energy … is how useful it can be to have a library of videos just waiting for repurposing.
Like a closet of clothes, just waiting for you to get dressed up and go out and be seen in them. 🤔 (not a perfect analogy, but leaving it lol)
The coolest part for me so far is in all the revisiting I’m getting to do of my old videos.
There is definitely more than enough stuff already recorded to make the Video Sprint posts with. To use as prompts at least, build a story around perhaps.
Which will free me up to be also participating in the Sprint myself (and able to make new stuff) vs having to create double the amount of videos as the Sprint facilitator (and tiring myself out).
Am also getting to see how spread out all over the place all these videos are 🤦🏻♀️😊
Am actually quite tickled to find the infrastructure set up the way it is on Instagram especially (I set up a foundation that involves 4 accounts last year - I know #overcomplicatemuch??) and there’s also some TikTok potential.
(Mmm gives me the idea to have a tech set-up/refinement Sprint of some kind 🤔)
And then there’s all the stuff I’m finding on YouTube - much of it unlisted, on a couple different channels - created originally for a particular audience … honestly, it’s a gold mine.
There’s also hours of recorded zooms that could be clipped from 🤦🏻♀️
All I could use now is some enthusiastic Planet Andrea “true fan” to wade through it all and pull out 100’s of reels and shorts.
Maybe one day :)
Meanwhile - there will always be Video Sprints 😍
Let’s see if this becomes an evergreen fixture (I think it can) and I remember to come back here and link to it. 🤔😆
Do me a favor and poke me if I haven’t yet? 🤗
Always remember to include links when you can, when it makes sense (and especially in my inbox) so people (I) can find their way with less friction and potential energy spend.
Assuming that’s what they’ve asked or raised their hand to receive - yeah there’s always that balance to strike :)
Appreciate you,
Andrea
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 ...
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 🤓
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 ...
