In business, integrity is constantly tested.
We see it everywhere: leaders snatching clients from their downlines, competitors undercutting deals, partners chasing profit at any cost. It is tempting to play the same game, to fight fire with fire. Recently a leader tried to pull me away from my manager to his team. He promised more perks and training opportunities. It was tempting to me, and I almost jumped ship.
But when I live as my SuperME, the path becomes clear.
1️⃣ Return to Purpose
My Purpose is simple: to harness the potential in people. It is not to maximize profits at all costs. So whenever I face integrity issues, I go back to Purpose. The answer is then obvious: if a decision damages people, trust, or truth — it is not aligned with my Purpose.
When Purpose leads, peace follows.
2️⃣ Guided by Sun Tzu’s Art of War
Sun Tzu taught: “Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will never be defeated.”
I know myself: my Purpose, my SuperME, my values.
I also know my opponents: their main goal is profit. Since we are not on the same wavelength, I do not waste my energy trying to match them. I simply step aside, choosing alliances that align with my truth.
This is how to win without fighting.
3️⃣ Trusting the Cycles of Yijing
The Yijing, the Book of Changes, reminds us that life moves in cycles. Nothing stays hidden forever. When I practice integrity, it may seem slow, but the cycle always returns to me. The trust I build compounds; the value I create circulates back. And yes, the reverse is true too — dishonesty will eventually come back to those who practice it.
🌱 The SuperME Approach
So my compass in business is a threefold alignment:
- SuperME (Purpose, Love, Gratitude)
- Sun Tzu (Know yourself, know others)
- Yijing (Trust the cycles of truth)
With this, I no longer fear being taken advantage of. Because I know the most sustainable profit is integrity, and the greatest wealth is trust.
And every time I act with integrity, I’m not just doing business.
I’m building legacy.
