144. Is Your Business Model Serving Your For NOW or For FOREVER?

podcast Oct 28, 2025

Most of us started our businesses thinking about right now. How do I sign more clients? How do I replace my income? How do I make this thing work?

And while those are valid (and important!) questions, what I’ve seen lately in dozens of Human Design readings is this: too many entrepreneurs are building businesses that serve the moment, but not the mission.

This week’s solo episode is all about shifting your perspective from now to forever, and why that one change can completely transform the way you build, grow, and lead.

 

The Trap of “For Now” Thinking

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. I’ve seen it in coaches, healers, designers, and creators who have so much heart and purpose behind what they do. They start a business that feels good in the short term, but down the road… something feels off.

They’re exhausted, misaligned, or carrying a business model that doesn’t fit their energy, or their life.

It’s not that they did anything wrong. It’s that no one ever taught us to build beyond the now.

What If You Built Something That Lasted?

Here’s the invitation:
Start thinking about your business not just as a vehicle for your current needs, but as a living, breathing expression of your soul’s mission—something that will evolve and sustain you long into the future.

Ask yourself:
What does my business look like in 2, 5, or 10 years?
How do I want to feel when I wake up and lead it?
Does my current foundation support that vision, or does something need to shift?

When you start designing your business with your future self in mind, you move from reaction to creation.

Aligning Energy, Strategy, and Legacy

Your Human Design offers the map. Your mission gives it direction. Your actions today build the bridge.

This is where true sustainability lives, where your business becomes an extension of your purpose instead of a drain on your energy.

Because when you build intentionally for the long run, you’re not just building a business… You’re building a legacy.
