About this episode
At a certain level of success, the problem isn’t skill, It’s identity.
You’ve built the business.
You’ve earned the money.
You’ve created the responsibility.
But internally, part of you is still operating from an older version of yourself. This is identity lag.
And it shows up in subtle ways:
– hesitation in decisions
– overworking instead of leading
– avoiding necessary conflict
– constantly feeling like it could all disappear
In this episode, we break down:
• What identity lag actually is
• Why it happens as you scale
• How it impacts your leadership and decision-making
• And how to update your internal model without becoming delusional
