Easy. Use this:

^.+?:

It comes down to this:

^ from the start of a paragraph ..

. match any character ..

+ .. as much as possible ..

? .. and then the shortest match ..

: .. up to a colon.

The '?' is necessary here because without it, the '+' would match as much as possible, all the way up to the very last colon in a single paragraph.
