The Fit Rubric — who belongs on the team

We choose people deliberately. Five gates decide fit — the leadership qualities and the gut-health need stand shoulder to shoulder, and every gate has real teeth.


5

A candidate must clear all five gates — they are joined by AND, not OR. A single “no” is a no, no matter how strong the other four. Use the Yes/No marks on the right to screen a real person against each gate.

1

Growth-oriented

YesNo

What a yes looks likeWants to grow — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

2

Financially driven — wants more, doesn’t need it

YesNo

What a yes looks likeAlready has enough money and wants to earn more. The income opportunity genuinely moves them.

Not thisSomeone who needs the money now. At roughly one full level built per month, the position takes 2–3 months to turn a profit against the cost of the products — people earning under pressure fall off before it pays.

Exception

The network-marketing free agent whose company dissolved and left them out in the cold. They need to earn — but they already know the process and will put in the time, so the runway doesn’t shake them out.

3

Leads, or would lead in a heartbeat

YesNo

What a yes looks likeAlready leads, or would step up the moment they’re given the tools and the opportunity.

4

Community fit

YesNo

What a yes looks likeSocialized enough to want to be among a community of people who are up to something — drawn to a room full of positive, growth-oriented peers.

5

Gut-health fit

YesNo

What a yes looks likeGenuinely wants or needs gut health. That could mean:

  • They’re already taking action on gut health — taking probiotics, for example.
  • They haven’t taken action on gut health but are suffering symptoms of poor gut health.
  • They’ve taken products for gut health that have not helped or didn’t work for them.
  • They’re interested in health and understand that gut health is important.
Read the bar correctly

The question is not “does this person pass all five gates with flying colors right now?” It is: do they pass most of them — and after our conversation, are they genuinely attracted to all five?

Sometimes people just need to see the opportunity to free themselves to want to lead, to want to grow, or any of the others. Weigh their attraction to each gate after they’ve seen what’s possible — not before.
