Welcome back to the EG Success Mindset Podcast — the space for business owners and leaders who want to master #Communication, grow #Confidence, and build high-performance #Culture.

In this episode, Ernest breaks down what it means to lead by design, not by accident. You’ll learn how your #C.O.D.E personality, mindset, and daily behaviours shape the environments you create — at work, at home, and within your team.

• Why design beats default in leadership

• How each CODE type leads: #Connector (care & unity) #Organizer (systems & structure) #DetailOriented (precision & mastery) #Effervescent (vision & inspiration)

• How mindset upgrades your leadership identity

• Why misalignment causes burnout, confusion, and low productivity

• How the #C3Leadership framework (Confidence, Communication, Culture) turns identity into real influence

Through stories and practical examples, Ernest shows how aligned leaders communicate better, reduce conflict, and create environments where people thrive. Leadership becomes intentional when your CODE, beliefs, and habits work together.

Lead with intention, communicate with clarity, and build a culture worth belonging to.

Welcome to the EG Success Mindset Podcast — the space for business owners, team leaders, and growth-driven individuals who want to communicate with clarity, build real confidence, and create high-performing team cultures.

In today’s episode, Ernest unpacks the second C in the C3 Leadership Framework: Communication. If confidence is identity expressed, then communication is how your inner energy meets the world — through your words, tone, body language, and presence.

Before we dive in, make sure you join the waiting list for the CODE Personality Assessment at: 👉 https://www.mycodeprofile.com/ Your personality wiring is the foundation of how you lead and communicate — don’t skip this step.

Building on last week’s episode on confidence, Ernest explores how your CODE Personality Type (Connector, Organizer, Detail-Oriented, Effervescent) shapes every conversation you have.

You’ll discover:

• Why confidence is identity expressed, and how your physiology reveals your inner beliefs

• How your CODE determines your natural communication style

  • Connectors → warm, relational, story-driven

  • Organizers → structured, orderly, step-by-step

  • Detail-Oriented → precise, logical, factual

  • Effervescent → energetic, big-picture, inspiring

• Why misunderstandings often come from personality mismatches, not personal conflict

• The powerful 7–38–55 rule:

  • 7% words

  • 38% tone of voice

  • 55% body language

• How adjusting your tone, presence, and posture can completely change how people perceive you

• Why communication is the gateway between self-awareness and culture-building

Effective communication isn’t about being loud, charismatic, or extroverted. It’s about alignment — where your identity, beliefs, and behaviour match the message you want to express.

This episode will help you:

• Reduce unnecessary conflict

• Build trust and credibility

• Improve team harmony

• Speak so people actually understand you

• Adjust your communication style based on who you’re talking to

• Influence with clarity instead of confusion

Whether you are leading a team, running a business, managing a household, or building a relationship, the way you communicate shapes your culture — for better or worse.

Welcome back to the EG Success Mindset Podcast — the space for business owners, team leaders, and growth-driven individuals who want to communicate with clarity, build unshakable #Confidence, and lead high-performing teams with purpose.

In this episode, Ernest continues the powerful journey into #SelfAwareness, expanding on how your #CODEPersonalityFramework shapes the way you think, feel, respond, and lead. If you want to understand why certain environments empower you while others drain you — or why confidence feels natural in some moments and fragile in others — this episode gives you the insight you’ve been missing.

Building on the previous episode’s exploration of your “hardwiring,” Ernest unpacks the deeper layers of the #C3Leadership Model — #Confidence, #Communication, and #Culture — and shows how true confidence is not bravado, noise, or pretending. It is alignment: your #Identity → your #Beliefs → your #Behaviour.

• Why #SelfAwareness is the foundation of #Confidence and emotional resilience

• How each #CODE personality type (Connector, Organizer, Detail-Oriented, Effervescent) builds, expresses, and loses confidence

• How your #Mindset acts as the “software” shaping your beliefs, habits, and results

• What destroys confidence for each personality type — and how to protect your energy

• Why self-trust is the key to breaking free from #ImposterSyndrome

• How to create a supportive environment that strengthens team #Performance

Through personal stories, practical examples, and psychological insight, Ernest reveals how confidence grows when you understand your inherited wiring, reshape limiting #BeliefSystems, and learn to express your authentic self through aligned #Leadership and #Communication.

• Why #Environment > Genetics when it comes to growth

• How confidence shows up differently for Connectors, Organizers, Detail-Oriented individuals, and Effervescent personalities

• The root cause of many conflicts — and how #PersonalityAwareness dissolves them

• Why you can never outperform your #SelfImage — and how to rebuild it

• How leaders can place people in the right roles to maximise #Productivity and reduce friction

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, overwhelm, pressure, or feeling “out of alignment,” this episode gives you a clear blueprint for rebuilding #Confidence from the inside out.

Success is a journey that demands sacrifices, commitment, and a strategic approach to managing time. Reflecting on one individual's experience, it becomes evident that the cost of success is indeed worth it, particularly when it allows a person to work for passion rather than money. This post delves into their journey, the lessons learned, and the principles that have guided them.

For five years, my guest didn't sleep for more than four hours a day. This was the price paid to establish initial success in properties. During this period, they chose jobs that allowed control over their time, working from 2:30 PM to 11:30 PM or sometimes until 1:00 AM, which gave the mornings for personal growth and business development. The core lesson here is that whoever controls your time controls your destiny. It's not about who controls your money but your time.

In network marketing, while selling broadband and telephone services, my guest made an average of £450 a week in addition to their salary. Embracing rejection was key, understanding that out of every ten calls, at least one would result in a positive response. Over time, the conversion rate improved, but the key was perseverance and not fearing rejection.

A critical aspect of financial stability and wealth creation is having multiple income sources. Smart believes in having at least four income streams. Job security alone does not lead to wealth; jobs provide enough to sustain and act as a seed for creating wealth. Wealth creation comes from owning assets that generate income, such as properties, stocks, or shares.

In the Western world, a credit record is more critical than a job or career. A poor credit record can have severe consequences, such as losing job opportunities or being denied mortgages. Managing finances prudently and maintaining a good credit score is essential.

Understanding one's strengths and weaknesses is vital. Focusing on strengths and outsourcing tasks that fall within weaknesses is important. Continuous learning is also crucial; reading books, seeking information, and staying informed are key. Avoiding distractions from social media and using time wisely, even during idle moments like waiting in traffic or at the doctor's office, is essential.

Success requires dedication, strategic time management, and continuous growth. Controlling time, embracing rejection, diversifying income, and leveraging unique talents are crucial. Surrounding oneself with successful individuals, maintaining good financial health, and appreciating the journey are essential. By following these principles, one can achieve not only financial success but also a fulfilling and purposeful life.
