Why Identity Sets the Ceiling on Your Business Growth (Anthony Trucks on tBOJ podcast)

Описание: Anthony Trucks is a former NFL athlete and serial entrepreneur known for helping people make an identity shift through his Dark Work framework.

What if the reason you keep falling short of your goals has nothing to do with motivation or strategy?

In this episode, Anthony breaks down why identity sets the ceiling on your goals and why business owners struggle when their habits and actions are not aligned with who they believe they are. He shares how Dark Work creates proof when belief is missing, why leadership identity outlasts motivation, and how to stop negotiating with yourself and start executing consistently. This conversation is for business owners who feel stuck, burned out, or ready for a real shift in how they operate and lead.

🔗 Redesigned.Business (https://www.redesigned.business/ )
Most businesses don’t stall because something is broken.
They stall because the business — and the leader — never evolved together.
Usually the owner keeps solving yesterday’s problems instead of designing for what’s next.
Redesigning both is how progress becomes intentional and repeatable instead of... exhausting.
