The Full Transcription - Navigating Change & Turbulent Times with Your Human Design In Mind

Jamie Palmer (00:02 ):

Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the HD Your Biz Podcast. I am your host, Jamie Palmer, and today we are going to be talking about five tips for navigating business growth during turbulent times with your design in mind. So I think it's really important to name that I've been in business for almost 22 years now, and I have navigated lots of crazy change in the world in my own business, and we are living in turbulent times, let's just call it what it is, right? The global collective waters are choppy and a big part of that if you are into human design, you may or may not know that our global incarnation cross is changing from that of the cross of planning to the cross of the sleeping phoenix, which I'll talk about more. But think about it as the cross of the sleeping Phoenix is here to set up systems that work for everyone. And the cross of the sleeping Phoenix is all about, in my opinion, in a very distilled down manner, my individual way of doing things, right? It's not about the system, it's about being empowered as an individual. And when you think about that in context to what's happening globally, it makes a lot of sense. And like I said, I'll do a podcast on that in the coming months about that change. But really I want to stay focused on how can we continue to get business growth during turbulent times?

For me, I truly believe there is often great opportunity when there are globally choppy waters to handle and to navigate. And as a three five, I'm like, huh, this is my time. Let me step up and support people because I don't know, just for me, like I said, I see great opportunity, but the reality is we cannot panic during times like this. We have to remain calm and grounded. We cannot make rash decisions. We have to make informed decisions with our strategy and authority in mind. We cannot trend hop or think short term. We really have to embrace more longer term thinking. We have to double down on what's working for ourself and what's proven in our business, and then also be thinking about how can I incorporate what's next? And I think this is a time that it's really easy to be on focus, but we have to almost be hyper-focused during those times or times like these.

And we cannot let our emotions run the show. Instead, we have to process our emotions, and we cannot let the global narrative control us. For me, I'm a big fan of taking all sides in of the global narrative, and I think we have to put down doom scrolling and be really mindful of what we consume. And so when we think about this, I want you to think about the first tip as understanding what you can control. And when we think about leveraging our designs and we think about building a life in biz, at the intersection of our design, our desires, and our lifestyle, we have to remember what we are responsible for and what we can actually control. And I kind of think about it like three buckets. There's what we can control, there's what we can influence, and then there's out of our control, we can control our reactions, our emotions, our response. We can control what we can consume. We can contro
