Most coaching business models do not stop working because the market changes. They stop working because the identity that built them has expired.

If your business feels heavier than it used to, if growth requires more effort than it should, or if you feel a quiet but persistent pull to pivot without clarity on what comes next, this episode will land deeply.

In episode 472 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I explore the invisible identity factors that are currently defining your level of success. I unpack why your business model is often a mirror of who you were when you built it, how your business identity becomes an unconscious decision filter, and why many leaders stall not because they are doing something wrong, but because they have outgrown the identity they are still operating from.

I talk about the business identity model trap, the subtle ways success becomes a frequency prison, and the signs you have evolved beyond the structure you are in. I also share personal examples from my own journey, including how releasing an outdated identity created space for a much more expansive version of my work and leadership.

If you are feeling constrained by a business that technically works, pulled toward deeper leadership, or called to lead rather than participate, this episode will help you name what is actually happening and what your next level is asking of you.
