Episode 113: Identity Gap: Why You’re Not Living at the Level of Your Goals Yet

About the Episode

You can’t reach a new level of success while thinking like your old self. Identity is what makes the difference. In this episode of the Seven Figure Standard Podcast, Arash Vossoughi and Mykie Stiller dive into the identity gap, namely, the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Arash explains how every person, no matter their level of success, is navigating some form of identity gap, and why recognizing that gap is the first step to closing it. Drawing from personal experience and client stories, Arash unpacks what it takes to fully live at the level of your goals. The conversation covers how to shift your identity through aligned action, commitment, and daily repetition, even when results haven’t shown up yet.
