Two Versions of Your 2026 Business (And You’re Already Choosing One)
Today I don’t want to talk about fixing you, or why you’re misaligned, or why the strategies haven’t worked.
You’ve heard all of that. You already know it.
Today I want to talk about two different versions of your 2026 business.
Because whether it feels like it or not, you’re already choosing one of them.
One version is the business that happens by default.
The other is the business you build by design.
And your Human Design isn’t just a cute add-on in that story – it’s the difference between the two.
🔹 The default 2026
Let’s start with the default version of your 2026.
This is the version where you keep doing what you’re doing now:
– You know your type, maybe your profile, you follow some HD accounts…
– You understand why certain things haven’t worked…
– But your business is still being run mostly by: trends, urgency, and what you think you ‘should’ do.
In this 2026, your business might technically grow…
but your body still tightens when you think about launching.
You still question your offers.
You still get that pit in your stomach when you watch someone else doing it “right” and wonder if you’re behind.
You’re aware of your design…
but you’re not letting it lead.
And that gap – between what you know and what you embody – is where the frustration lives.
🔹The designed 2026
Now let’s look at the other version of 2026.
In this version, your Human Design isn’t just something you know – it’s how you operate. It’s the lens you build everything through.
Your offers are built around your energy, not around what’s trending.
Your marketing is rooted in how your voice is meant to land – whether that’s long-form, quick bursts, speaking, visuals, deep 1:1 connection.
Your schedule actually reflects your nervous system and capacity.
You stop apologizing for the way you work best – and you start designing for it.
This doesn’t mean everything is perfect or magical.
It means your business starts to feel coherent.
What you know about yourself, what you want, and what you’re doing… finally match.
🔹 What actually has to change
This is the part most people skip:
Your 2026 business won’t feel different because you learned more Human Design.
It’ll feel different because you started making different decisions with what you already know.
Things like:
– Saying no to strategies that make your body say “ugh,” even if everyone swears they work.
– Letting your type + strategy actually guide how you create offers and content.
– Trusting your authority more than the next guru swipe file.
– Letting yourself build differently than the coaches you’ve been watching for years.
This is the last year your business gets to be an accident.
2026 is the year it becomes intentional.
For me, losing my dad and watching my old business crumble was my line in the sand.
I realized I was not willing to build another year of my life based on someone else’s idea of success.
Human Design wasn’t just interesting – it was a lifeline.
And the more I’ve built my business from my design, the more obvious it is that I was never meant to do it the old way.
And neither were you.
Here’s what I want for you:
When you look up at the end of 2026, I don’t want you saying,
‘I learned a lot about my design… but I didn’t really use it.’
I want you to feel in your bones,
‘My business finally feels like mine.’
‘The way I create, sell, and serve matches who I am.’
‘This is sustainable. This is me.’
To help you start that shift, I just upgraded the first step completely.
When you download your free Human Design Business Starter Kit, you’ll not only get your chart and 12-page PDF, but a brand new audio where I walk you through the first piece of how your type actually works in business.
And then you’ve got the 9-part audio series waiting for you – where we start pulling the rest of the pieces together.
If 2026 is the year you want your business to finally match your design, start there.
You can grab it at [link], and as always, reply to my emails or DM me on Instagram if something clicks. I love hearing how your chart is landing for you.
