The Hidden Places You Are Copying and Slowly Killing Your Business Results
Alright… let’s be real.
You probably think you’re building your business your way.
You’ve put in the work, you’ve got your offers, you’ve got your strategy… but, and hear me out, there’s a very good chance you’re unknowingly copying someone else.
And no, I don’t mean stealing content.
I mean adopting the way you price, market, sell, or even work every day… just because it’s what you’ve seen everyone else do.
Here’s the thing… you can’t build a truly sustainable, profitable business that feels like home if you’re running it based on someone else’s blueprint.
And I say this with so much love… but also from 13 years of trial-and-error. I’ve been there.
Today, I’m breaking down the sneaky ways copying happens without you even realizing it, how it’s secretly draining your momentum, and how Human Design is the key to getting your business back to being 100% yours."
"So, here’s how this happens…
We enter the online business world, and suddenly we’re in this sea of experts and gurus saying:
‘Here’s the formula.’
‘Here’s the launch plan.’
‘Here’s the only way to get clients.’
And without even thinking, we start adopting it.
Why? Because it’s everywhere. It’s normalized. It’s ‘the way things are done.’
I did this for years. I copied launch schedules, offer structures, even how I was supposed to post on Instagram. I convinced myself that because it worked for someone else, it had to work for me.
But here’s what I learned the hard way when you try to succeed using someone else’s rules, you end up exhausted, frustrated, and doubting yourself.
It’s like wearing shoes that are the wrong size. They might look great, but after a while, they just give you blisters.
"Let’s talk about where this shows up, because I want you to actually check yourself here.
Here are the 5 most common places I see business owners , maybe even you , unknowingly copying:
Pricing — You set your prices because ‘that’s what coaches charge’ or ‘I saw someone else at this level charging this.’ No reflection on your design, your energy, your audience… just an autopilot decision.
Offer structure — You mimic the course layout, group program format, or even length of someone else’s offer because it’s ‘what works,’ not what actually lights you up to deliver.
Marketing cadence — You follow the 5-posts-a-week, 12-emails-in-a-launch rule without asking if it fits how you’re designed to work. And spoiler: for many of you, it doesn’t.
Sales style — You push urgency tactics, scripts, or calls-to-action that make you feel… kinda gross. But you keep doing it because someone told you it’s how to close a sale.
Work schedule — You try to fit yourself into the 9-to-5 or the ‘CEO morning routine’ because it’s what everyone preaches… even though it leaves you drained.
If you’re nodding right now, you’re not alone. This is the reality for so many entrepreneurs. And again… this isn’t about blame. This is about awareness.
So why does this matter?
Because when you operate out of alignment with your Human Design… your type, your strategy, your authority… you’re making every part of business harder than it needs to be.
You’re leaking energy in a hundred small ways. Your clarity gets fuzzy. Your momentum dies down. Sales feel inconsistent. And suddenly, you’re wondering if you’re even cut out for this.
And that’s the most dangerous part… you start making your results mean something about you… when really, it’s just that you’ve been building a business designed for someone else.
So how do you stop this?
Step one… get crystal clear on your design.
Your design tells you why certain things feel heavy, why some strategies take twice the energy for you, and why you’ve been drawn to approaches that don’t actually work for you long term.
Here’s a quick example: A Generator might thrive on a consistent content rhythm and doing more live interaction, while a Projector will burn out fast if they try to keep that pace their energy works differently.
This is why Human Design isn’t just some fun personality test. It’s literally your instruction manual for how to run your business in a way that works for you.
