Every major leap in your life and business requires one thing: an identity upgrade.

Not a new strategy. Not a new system. Not another motivational quote.

A shift in who you believe you are as a leader.

In this episode, we dig into what it really means to shift your identity so you can lead at a higher level — whether you’re a solo entrepreneur stepping into your first leadership role or a seasoned professional aiming for bigger impact and responsibility.

You’ll learn:

• Why identity is the ultimate performance limiter (and how it quietly controls your decisions, confidence, and capacity)
• The three identity traps that keep leaders stuck operating below their potential
• How to break outdated roles you’ve outgrown — including the “Do-It-All Operator” mindset
• A practical framework to redesign the identity needed for your next level of leadership
• What the research says about identity-based behavior change and long-term growth(Including insights from Stanford and Harvard studies on self-schema and leadership development)
• How to align your habits, environment, and language with the leader you are becoming

If you feel like you’re doing “all the right things” but not moving the needle fast enough…

If you’ve plateaued, stalled, or keep slipping back into old patterns…

Or if you know you’re capable of more but your current self-image hasn’t caught up yet…

This episode will give you the clarity and tools to step into your next level with purpose, confidence, and alignment.

This is where transformation begins — not with what you do, but with who you decide to be.

Are you the reason your business isn’t scaling — even though you’re working harder than ever?

If you’re a solo entrepreneur sitting between $100K–$300K and clocking 50+ hours a week, this episode will hit home. You’ve built something that works — but every time you try to grow, it feels like all roads lead back to you.

In this episode of The Top Notch Leader Podcast, Terence Colson breaks down how high-performing entrepreneurs unintentionally become their own bottlenecks — and what to do about it. You’ll discover:

✅ Why effort-based growth will eventually stall your business.

✅ How to shift from control to clarity so your team can execute without you.

✅ The exact mindset and systems that allow your business to run (and scale) without burning you out.

This is your turning point — from operator to true leader. Because letting go isn’t losing control… it’s gaining momentum.

🎧 Listen now to learn how to free up your time, empower your team, and finally create a business that grows without you.
