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
Maybe youāve heard me say this. Maybe not.
And first a tiny backstory in case you didnāt catch the FB post I made 3 or 4 days ago about having been on zooms or in a one-on-one chat for 4days in a row. Starting with last Friday.
- Friday Zoom
- Saturday Zoom
- Sunday (unexpected visit from Dad, 5/1 emo/ego defined P I believe, which is always intense. This is him and Jag on my couch with me)
- Monday Zoom
- Tuesday - semi-spa day at Aledaās - so beginning to rest
- Wednesday mostly rest
- Thursday mostly rest
And here we are again - Friday and itās the first day Iāve felt my body be all the way okay with āgetting back to workā whatever that might look like.
Anyway - hereās the thing Iām getting to be reminded ofā¦ ācause Iām not gonna lie, there were moments since starting Monday afternoon that my Mind would have liked to use my undefined sacral and my open head tbhā¦ so many ideas bubbling ā¦ begging me to ākeep going, keep going!ā
But I told it that I know from personal experience how completely incorrect and Notself pressuring it was trying to be.
And it (mostly) shut up.
The reminder is -
āThe downtime IS PART of the uptimeā
Period.
Same goes for the emotional wave to a degreeā¦ but thatās a whole other conversation š¤
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 š
Anyway, hereās me waking up and talking mostly to myself yesterday morning šš
Maybe thereās a nugget or two š¤·š»āāļø no promises though :)
AWA aka āArt With Andreaā, is one of the umbrella ideas Iām floating around with atm that cropped up as Iāve 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/ donāt do - todayās topic was art - and the way that I think about all that.
So thatās what this audio is about. The dots that connected in my head this morning in that ...
Thought this thread was fascinating - hereās the original comment thread:

While the email is just a waste of everyoneās time, the difference in approaches and having HD awareness now ā¦
Iām reading the comments with that filter ā¦ undefined ego, defined ego (or healthy undefined ego), undefined solar plexus ā 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 plexusā¦ oh and also a projector š¤
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 š¤
This dude helped form part of my copywriting foundation both directly and through other people I learned from who learned from him -
āHow 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 āvalueā at a foundation level.
I run into so many people who would happily eat up my day and be ever so thankful once theyāre done. š
Shocker they often also donāt consider/value their own time and energy either.
Of course thereās other important value to consider beyond this trading time thing ā¦ :)
The original post is in the screenshot below šš½
And hereās one commenter - sounds like a bitter projector š
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, itās such an honor to be chosen as your free labor! Sadly, my bills donāt have the same level of admiration for me, so Iāll need to charge my regular rates."
"Oh, sure! Let me just check if the gas station will fill my tank for free because weāre such good friends. Spoiler ...
