 Hi, I'm George Kau and today I'm here with one of my clients, Sandy Freshie. I'm excited to introduce her to you and to talk about some of the things that she's been learning as she builds her own business. And I think some of the things she shares with you all will be encouraging for you and help you to grow your business a bit more successfully. Hi Sandy, great having you here. Hi George, thanks for inviting me. Yeah, so let me start Sandy with your bio. I'll read it out loud for everybody. And then if folks are interested, of course they can follow up with you through your website, social media, etc. So Sandy Freshie, she is a human design specialist. Some of you have probably heard of that before. I'll just read the bio and that seems better that way. She's a level four certified human design specialist who received her initial training and certification from Karen Curry Parker, who is the one of the more famous human design leaders today. Sandy takes an eclectic approach to her ever deepening understanding of this complex system and has studied a variety of material from different sources. She believes that the wisdom of human design is already encoded within each of us and she strives to make the information of the system as accessible as possible so that we can easily apply it to our life and unlock that truth within us. Now I'll just say that I have been exposed to human, I've actually had several different people read my human design chart and I'll say I think Sandy has been to me the most resonant and clearest. So I really appreciate the work that she does. So Sandy, thank you for doing this and today we're going to talk about, let's start by talking about some of the things that you've learned in growing your business. Most of the people watching this video are business owners or they're interested in growing their own authentic business. So you've learned a lot. Maybe I'll just let you start with whatever you want to start with there. Well, George, I really have to thank you for teaching me a lot about the way that you do business. We have a similar, we're the same energy type and I didn't even know that until we started working together. I just knew that you knew some things that resonated with me and one of those things that you've really created that has helped me is this sense of consistency because I don't have a lot of internal consistency. And I know a lot of people in business feel like they don't have their own sense of internal consistency. And what I discovered by working with you and with the group that you created is that it's so important to have an external container of consistency when it's not really in your wiring to be that way. And as long as I'm being who I am and taking care of myself in the way that I need to take care of myself and not following anyone else's program, that system or that container really keeps me kind of together and moving in the real world, the 3D world in a much more effective way. And maybe you can say a bit more of what do you mean by external container and there are probably multiple examples of how that might work for people. Well, yeah, well, you know, the having a group that like your beloved Master Heart group that I love so much having a group to go to and to be accountable to and then having some structure, not like tight structure where it's a someone's fixed idea of how everybody should do business but the way that you've made it so that everyone can find their own way is is really valuable. And then the systems that you've introduced over time and I know you have them in your videos and that's how I got to know you is by watching your videos and trying out some of your systems, your systems for productivity your systems for for outreach and marketing are really, really valuable and concrete so that they keep me in this, this place where I stay on the rails of moving forward. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. And I've been noticing that over the past year or so you've ramped up your own content and workshops as well. So talk to those who are watching, who might be wondering whether they should create content, or they're creating content and would like some encouragement. What, what would you say to them. Um, you know, I, I would say that, at least for me, the more I do it the easier it gets. And I have kind of a spontaneous style I don't have that. You know, Monday Wednesday Friday thing that I wish I did that you have but I have to go with what I have and you know when I go with that when I really trust that this is the time and I'm inspired and and I have everything set up the preparation. Then I can just get that content out a lot more easily. Yeah, that's a really important thing that you said is that, you know, different strokes for different folks right and you know, I tell people listen you don't have to do exactly what I do. What I care about is that, that people are are consistent in their way, how whatever way that is, I mean it's, you know, hopefully more than once a month that someone's putting on some content but. But yeah, so, so within that container I guess of more than once a month is however you want to flow, you know, and so what maybe you could share what kind of content have you started creating. You know, I know you do videos and you have a newsletter, etc. But tell us about that. Well, you know, it's all an experiment it's all part of process I do want to be even more consistent and get a handle on making it the flow a little more ease more easy. But I do create YouTube videos, I blog, I work, I post on Facebook. I sometimes think that it's not a lot, but then other people give me feedback about how they see me up there they reference something that they saw and it kind of lets me know okay. It's getting out there it looks like I'm, I have a presence and that's good. How has that influence I mean how has that affected your business what kind of results are you starting to see from that. I, I'm really starting to see more interaction and that's another valuable thing that I've gotten from being in your presence I guess and learning from you is not to be afraid to share. Not to be afraid, you know, not to feel like I have to hold on to a nugget of wisdom or information until the right moment or the right thing where someone can pay me for it or whatever that when I feel inspired that's my intuition saying it's time to share something. And I'm not in charge of who gets to see it or when they get to see it. I just need to trust that that's that needs to come out for whoever it's going it's there to benefit at the time when they get it. And that has really freed me up quite a bit. Yeah, absolutely. And how in terms of your own clientele your business results. What have you seen to be the most beneficial for that for getting new clients getting interested potential clients, etc. The missing piece of the follow up of the, you know, of checking in with with people, and I'm not as consistent as I would like to be. I have put some systems in place to follow up. But I've gotten so much better in the last year of just remembering the touch base with people as I go along. And to really trust sometimes that when someone pops into my mind, maybe that's the time to send them an email because that's the perfect time when maybe I could be of service to them. Absolutely, that's great. Yes, using our intuition to guide us and, you know, to saying yes to that impulse of connection. Whenever possible. Speaking of connection you also have been learning about the power of collaboration. Right. Let's not forget that. Yeah. Yeah, the power of collaboration is huge. And I think that has been my missing piece. Since I started this whole dream of having an online business which has been quite a few years you know, of how do you how do you actually collaborate when you're not face to face with someone and, you know, just developing those skills over time of understanding that that you can develop relationships with people that you've never physically met and really not, you know, having that courage to engage in conversations where we can discover how we can support each other has been huge. Yeah. And in fact, you had, if you've done a collaboration with beings, Huang, she's the, the most recent client that I interviewed for for this series. So it's, it's great. Yeah. Okay, so let's switch gears. We're kind of starting to end this interview and I wanted to make sure people got a taste of the work that you do. I know that you've got a kind of a chart that you wanted to share. Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to give an example of the typical client that I work with. Now, now I do work with clients that. Let me just show you this chart. Okay, this is this is the typical to human design chart that I tend to a person with a design that I tend to attract. And if you notice, there are only like two of these colored in centers and sometimes there may be three or four, but usually a good portion of these centers are white, which means that these are, these are parts of their energy system, where they take energy in and they're very highly affected by that energy. They feel it very strongly and it can distract them from being who they really are and coming from their own sense of authenticity. So a lot of times when they get to me, and by the way, this is these centers when they're open, a lot of them show me that this person is very empathic and very sensitive to other people's energies. So a lot of times by the time they get to me, they're burned out in their business or close to it or struggling to come back. They're overwhelmed in their relationships and they just can't seem to find their center for moving forward in a way that really works for them. So I work with them on energy management. I, you know, we start with the chart and the education of, you know, when you have this center, whatever center it is, it's white or undefined, you're going to have these potentials for patterns that are going to throw you off balance. So let's take a look at that. I get them in this place where they can begin to relax and observe their experience rather than reacting. And then, you know, that may happen in one session. It may happen in a series. It really depends on the person who's coming to me. But yeah, those are usually the people like that. And I love to work with. Yeah, that's great. Really clear description. And probably some people watching this video might fit that description. So if you resonate with that, you might want to contact Sandy. I highly recommend it. How do you work with somebody new? So somebody, let's talk about, well, let's talk about two types of people. One is somebody who barely knows about human design, but they're interested in getting to know themselves better and how to more effectively be in the world and work in their business. That's one type of person. The second type is the person who is maybe has gotten a human design reading before and now he or she wants to integrate that more and so that they can be more effective. So I know it's a big question. But yeah, how do you start with them? I usually like to start with a reading, which usually usually takes an hour 90 minutes, sometimes a half hour depending on their background. And that's something that we would discuss by email. Sometimes people just email me and say, you know, I want to work with you long term. And then we just get on and figure out what that is, what they really need and what I can provide and the parameters of that we'll talk about it over video conference. But generally speaking, the point of entry is a human design reading and whether if they've had a reading before, it's usually a laser focused on their particular concern or with that particular concern. As the lens through which we see their chart and I do work a lot with entrepreneurs and people. So we can talk about business, we can talk about whatever it is that they need. And then from there, it usually takes a little bit to integrate unless they're like in a place where they're in a major shift and they know that we know that they need support on going. And then from there that we would go probably right into some ongoing coaching and support. And if, if they're pretty good, they may want to go back and integrate the information and maybe come for a touch up session in another month, or, you know, come to one of my classes, get a little more information. So I'm pretty flexible about how I work. I have quite a few options there. And speaking of classes that you offer, what's available now if somebody says, oh, I'd love to learn more about what's about your expertise and you like what tells about that. Well, I have kind of an intermediate class that's actually up for sale now it's called tracking the transits. So if you are, if you're interested in astra if you know about astrology and you want to know the human design version of that that would be a good place to start or if you're into your own chart. This will give you a background and a foundation for tracking how the energies of the astrological transits affect your chart. I have, I'm working on something a few things. And one of the things I'm working on that will probably be a series of classes is working with the energy of I got to get the right side of the chart. The Spleen Center, which is the center for intuition, survival, vitality. And since we're in the springtime. That's, that's kind of that that same sort of quality of energy as is expressed through the Spleen so That's wonderful.
