    KEY TAKEAWAYS:



    Human design can be beneficial by learning the strategies, strengths and weaknesses that a person can have. By knowing their design and prioritizing their training to meet their personality type, you can empower them to be their best. 

    A business plan is important, but don’t get too attached to it, as it will change down the road due to shifts in the market and business directions. Work on it constantly, adding your ideas and altering it as things shift in the market and world.
