About this episode
Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything right and checking all the boxes, but still not getting results? In this episode of the Seven-Figure Standard Podcast, Arash breaks down the concept of the Identity Tax: how your old identity causes self-sabotage and limits your growth. Tuning in, you’ll hear all about how your identity is holding you back and how to see the weaknesses in it. We even share a ‘formula’ for bulletproofing your identity so that you can decrease the identity tax you pay and finally get the results you want. If you want 2026 to be the year that you decide your identity instead of letting the world define it, then be sure to press play now!
