Business by Design Network: Elevate Your Practice, Embrace Your Design
Yes, you ARE designed to succeed in business!
(No matter how your Human Design chart is configured…)
Do you relate to this?
You’re a great healer, coach, or consultant, but you can’t seem to attract or find the right clients, the ones who want to invest in working with you.
You have a message - a big impact you long to make on the world - but you don’t know how to stand out in the marketplace. You want to be seen, heard, and recognized, but you don’t know how to get people to hear what you have to say.
You know you need to do all the business “things” - like selling - but you hate it, and you’re worried you’ll be inauthentic or out of integrity if you try to make money doing service work.
Sometimes, you have a little bit of success with your business, but you don’t know how to sustain it so you can rely on your business income to support you. It feels like you’re doing a lot of work for little return and burning out.
You’ve tried to integrate your business practices with your Human Design, but you can’t figure out how to make your business work with all the “waiting."
Building a business is a new skill you’re trying to learn. You have a sense of what you need to do but don’t quite know where to start or how to make it work consistently.
If you haven’t had the success you’ve been dreaming of yet, it’s not your fault!
If you’re like most of our business-building clients, you’re an exceptional healer, coach, teacher, speaker, or consultant with a big vision for how you want to make this world a better place, but you can’t quite get the traction you want on your big vision.
Here’s the deal:
Being a healer, coach, teacher, or any kind of service provider is a distinctly different skill set than business building. You’ve probably never been taught exactly how to build, run, and scale a business.
Not only that, you’ve probably been taught information about business from people who didn’t understand your unique situation and energy needs - or hadn’t really had the success they claimed.
Your business is your mission. It’s an expression of your Heart. It’s the vehicle that allows you to serve the world.
Failing is not an option.
You need a holistic way of doing business that blends modern science, Heart-based sales, and marketing magic. You need a model that encompasses wellness on all levels and integrates your Human Design with your unique life circumstances.
That’s why we created the Business by Design Network.
I’m Dr. Karen Curry Parker. I’m a specialist in Integrative Medicine. I’ve been teaching Human Design for more than 25 years. I’m a multiple best-selling author and teacher; my mission is my passion.
I’m also a businesswoman.
I’ve made my living serving others for my entire adult life. And I’ve done it as a full-time single parent. I’ve done it while taking care of my aging parents. I’ve done it while struggling with a life-threatening illness. I’ve done it as a solo-prenuer struggling to make ends meet. AND I’ve scaled and grown my business to having 11 employees and multiple profound ways to use my business to serve my mission and my purpose.
I’ve pretty much tried every model and business strategy out there over the years. Teaching you how to avoid the pitfalls and mistakes that I’ve made so that you can honor the calling of your soul has been part of MY mission since 2005.
I created the Business by Design Network to help you find a simple, strategic way to build a sustainable, enduring, service-based business that allows you to serve at your highest level and also serves YOU.
I believe that You are pure potential, here to lead a life of your choosing. You’re not a being that can be stuffed in a labeled box or give a one-size-fits-all formula for creating success.
We don’t treat you or your business that way.
Welcome to a holistic business model that blends modern science, heart-centered sales, marketing magic, and wellness on all levels with Human Design.
We teach business, period. Because doing business is a universal skill that applies to everyone—all Types, all Profiles…EVERYONE.
BUT…your Human Design tells you how to do business in a way that maximizes your ability to serve AND avoid burning out.
Our model not only respects, but also teaches, you to work with your life cycle, your health, your state of self-worth, and the composite of your whole Human Design.
We give you the step-by-step building blocks to help you build your business from the ground up.

Hi! I’m Dr. Karen Curry Parker
If there’s one big takeaway I’ve learned from working with thousands of people since the 1990’s, it’s that the single biggest cause of pain and suffering on the planet is the disconnect people experience when they’re not living an authentic life.
It can look like anything from financial problems, relationship issues, physical pain, creative blocks, and even spiritual suffering.

Here’s some real talk…
Business By Design Network: Elevate Your Practice, Embrace Your Design addresses not only the world of service through business because there’s more to our lives than that so it also concerns itself with your personal and professional ecosystem.
We all know the world of work is undergoing significant upheaval from the impacts of economic fluctuations, the Great Resignation, and the trend of Quiet Quitting. And yet even in such turbulent times, businesses both small and large are flourishing! This global paradigm shift in the way we approach our work has given nearly everyone the ability to create a business for themselves.
We believe it's time for heart-based leadership. Its time for businesses to shine brighter, step up as leaders and model how to do business, sales, and marketing in ways that encourage creative development as we commit to finding focused solutions on a micro level (which email provider should I use? What are we having for dinner?) to the macro level (which organizations use my donations well and where should I be investing?).
Adopting a holistic Human Design approach that finds the balance between profit for profit’s sake and profit that fills your cup to overflowing so as you’re nourished and supported so too are your clients, family, local communities, government, and by extension - the world - can get us there.
We absolutely can do business in life-serving and life-saving ways.
BBDN imagines a world where businesses prioritize the health and well-being of the individual and the collective:
Where entrepreneurs live fulfilling, joyful and satisfying lives, enjoying quality time in nature and conversations with loved ones instead of feeling overworked, harried, and financially stressed.
Where employees are respected and treated as vital members of the company's mission, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose for everyone top to bottom.
Where businesses actively engage with and enrich their local communities, solving socio-economic issues with the kind of creativity that only comes with collaboration.
Where businesses acknowledge the reality of Oneness, actively and enthusiastically promoting radical empathy and responsible stewardship of our planet and all its inhabitants.
At the Business By Design Network, we believe in creating a future where inclusive business practices are the driving force for positive change. By joining our network, you'll be part of a transformative community that embraces conscious leadership and empowers you and your business to thrive holistically.

What a ride! First of all, thank you Karen for making possible for me to have this - thank you so much for my scholarship! The first time I heard about Quantum Human Design I felt such a great sense of purpose, my first chart is full of notes, and then I did some courses (HTWWBD and Quantum Money), but only with the Certification I got to understand my own existence mechanics! I highly recommend it if it's what you're searching for (and, as a bonus, you get an added skill to help others/make a living of)! Now while my line 1 wants more levels my line 3 wants to read charts for everyone! May I honor Karen's work!
