German term (edited):
die Nase vorn
one step ahead
Die Nase vorn halten could be translated as "staying one step ahead of the rest".
Can't think of any similar phrase in English that involves your nose....
I'm sure there are lots of other possibilities too.

I agree with "...step ahead" but "leading the pack" might work as well depending on the context, of course!
