FIVE STANDARDS FOR INTEGRITY IN BUSINESS

These standards weren’t made to critique—they were built to clarify.

They offer a reliable framework people can trust—especially after trusting advice or systems that sounded right but collapsed under pressure.

Too many business models fall apart when the hype fades.

Too many sales tactics rely on manipulation or moral pressure.
Too many leaders perform integrity without ever proving it.

These five standards make misalignment visible—before it causes harm.

They're not about how “nice” someone seems.

They're built to help assess whether the structure, delivery, and behavior actually hold—ethically, sustainably, and without hidden costs to the client.

Originally developed to help artistic professionals vet business mentors, these standards can now apply across professions and industries—giving anyone the tools to recognize true structural integrity (and to stop confusing charisma with congruence).

You don’t have to assimilate to align. 

These standards transcend identity, politics, and belief—because they rest on how your business actually behaves. That’s what makes them a powerful baseline for leadership, economic sovereignty, and structural clarity—without cultural homogeneity. 

ANY entrepreneur, business owner, or leader who is ready to operate at a higher level can start by evaluating how their work abides by these five principles: 

(Even If You’ve Been Operating Without Them Until Now)

You don’t have to rebuild everything overnight. 

These standards aren’t a purity test. They’re a tool—for structural awareness, intelligent recalibration, and deeper economic congruence.

And there’s always another level of economic congruence to be achieved.

You can start by simply asking yourself these questions:

• Where does your client experience truly reflect your values? And where might it quietly contradict them?
   
• Does your ablility to sell ever depend on false urgency, emotional compliance, or manufactured scarcity? (Aside from actual calendar, capacity, or supply constraints...)
   
• Are your decisions grounded in your sustainability? Or based on what worked for someone else in a completely different context?
   

Each standard offers a diagnostic lens.  You can use them to:

• Audit your model before a launch (or after one that didn’t land)
   
• Rework sales language to attract aligned clients—without bait-and-switch tactics
   
• Evaluate potential hires (mentors, coaches, or team members)
   
• Check your own congruence when pricing, scaling, or shifting strategy
   

This isn’t about perfection. 

This isn't about shame or guilt.

It’s about structural honesty.

When your model is built in alignment with these standards, you won’t need to rely on manipulation or mystique. You’ll be able to earn, lead, and deliver with more integrity—and trust that your business can better hold under real-world pressure, not just inside a well-rehearsed funnel. 

The standards are here to help you lead your business—not perform someone else’s.

Because full integrity isn’t just more ethical—it’s actually more profitable. 

It’s the most sustainable path to financial freedom, stronger sales, and outcomes that actually last. 

So let's get ready.
Let's get congruent.

And let’s build what can be best for your bank account and your heart.

Share the above list. Screenshot it. Save it.

We can raise the bar—quietly but firmly—for all.

Without needing to name names.
Without needing to point fingers.

We can just let these standards do the talking.

—THIS is how we can really start to change the economy for the better for everyone!
