Leadership Lesson: Leaders Seek Legacy 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Seek Legacy

I’ve found that the best leaders not only build a foundation for themselves and their team. 

But they focus on paying it forward by building something that lasts far past their leadership. 

In other words, strong leadership requires leaving a legacy.

I learned this leadership truth from the great John Maxwell.

This requires casting a vision, creating a foundation that can scale, and then finding a replacement that can continue the journey even better than the founder.

Applying it to an example that just happened within my leadership pursuits. 

After nearly 11 years of operating our Mission Viejo Fit Body location, Tatiana and I did just that by passing the torch to our new owner Melissa.

PS This is true in parenting which is a sizable leadership role.

[MM]: The lesson from Mike Tyson & Jake Paul 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The lesson from Mike Tyson & Jake Paul

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌 

There was a lot of attention and controversy over the Tyson & Paul fight on Friday.

For starters..

There was a 31-year age gap.

There were critics of the lack of luster fight.

There was a commentary on how dare Jake Paul should enter the ring with an “old man”.

Whatever your take, this is mine.

I give Mike Tyson credit for getting back in the ring.

He trained and looked good for 58 years old.

While there were some glimpses of his former greatness.

The reality is that father time waits for no man.

Tyson while in good shape, couldn’t bridge a 31-year age gap.

The truth is that life happens fast.

It hits hard.

In a blink, it’s gone.

So my message is one of urgency today.

Father time is undefeated.

The time is NOW to pursue your dreams, take that shot, open that business, and go for it.

So what are you waiting for?

After all, Father Time is undefeated.

[MM]: Nobody is coming to save you…

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

I sent the below message to my Fit Body Franchise Partners as their CEO and supporter of small businesses in America to address the global event from last week.

I aimed to provide some of my perspective on the road ahead with a business lesson at the foundation.

Given my role, I owed it to them and trust you will receive value too.

Have a great week!

Family! 🙌

It’s no secret that last week, the United States of America elected Donald Trump to be its 47th Head Policy Maker. 

While I don’t have a crystal ball.

Being your CEO and a Franchisor who’s invested in your business and life success, I want to share with you what I see.

I look to ignore the subjectivity of the Legacy media narrative and the personalities of the candidates. 

Instead, I focus on past data to predict future performance.

With this in mind, his track record, suggests the next 4 years will consist of:

  • Lower inflation 
  • Lower tax rates
  • Fewer regulations
  • Lower interest rates
  • Lower energy costs
  • Increased GDP
  • Increased levels of free speech/feedback culture
  • Higher security
  • Less global conflict

While nothing is guaranteed.

If this happens, these action items will create tailwinds for your business just as the data suggests from his first term.

So yes, I am optimistic that the next 4 years will bring a much better business climate for the US, much of the world, and most importantly you.

However, my message today is not of sunshine and rainbows.

Instead, it’s to deliver the cold hard truth that no one is coming to save you.

No, not Donald Trump, nor would Kamala Harris have saved you.

Neither of them are going to:

  • Come get you out of bed to hold you accountable to your daily workouts
  • Teach you how to lead, market, and sell
  • Focus on your client retention
  • Train up your team
  • Grow your business
  • Pick up your kids from school to ensure they are taken care of
  • Come over for Thanksgiving Dinner to give you a hug or pep talk when you are down 

The reality is that any tailwinds won’t guarantee your success.

Nor will headwinds cement your failure.

While I do believe the business climate will get better which will increase the probability of your prosperity.

The truth is that nobody is coming to save you.

You must save yourself.

And the time isn’t yesterday, tomorrow, next month, or next year.

The time is now.

Onward!

Leadership Lesson: Change is the Only Constant 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Change is the Only Constant

Change is the only constant in life.

We know this to be true, but human nature still resists. 

Well, let’s prepare ourselves.

More change is coming. 

The US will elect a new president today.

And it’s no secret to anyone that the last 4 years have been tough in many ways that have affected our ability to support our Franchise Partners, coaches, and brand.

We have seen government overspending in record-breaking proportions (otherwise known as inflation), rising interest rates, global conflict, a lack of homeland security, and the list goes on.

I hope for positive change that will create better tailwinds for us, our country, and humanity.

Ultimately though, that’s not totally up to me.

However, what is up to me is how I respond, not react to whatever the new changes bring.

And this my friend is my message today.

Dont’ resist the change.

Instead, prepare for it, embrace and drive it in whatever way it comes. 

After all, leadership is about directing change so get ready.

More change is coming. 

The US is electing a new President this week. 🇺🇸

And it’s no secret to anyone that the last 4 years have been tough in many ways that have affected small businesses which is the backbone of America. 

We have seen government overspending in record-breaking proportions (otherwise known as inflation), rising interest rates, global conflict, a lack of homeland security, and the list goes on.

Yes, I hope for positive change that will create better tailwinds for us, our country, and humanity.

Ultimately though, that’s not totally up to me or anyone of us. 

However, what is up to us is how we respond, not react to whatever the new changes bring.

Tuesday Leadership Lesson 150 150 Bryce Henson

Tuesday Leadership Lesson

Last week for our final Mastermind Retreat of 2024, Barrett asked me to present on the deficiencies in my leadership and the action I take to improve. 

Being I’ve known him for 39 years, he knows all the good, the bad, and the ugly.

As I put together my talk, I was reminded of a dichotomy of leadership.

Leadership requires both confidence and humility.

It requires confidence to charge forward in the face of resistance.

And yes, you will face lots of resistance. 

Why?

Human nature resists change and leadership requires directing change.

There’s conflict in the infrastructure of the role. 


Specific to the dichotomy and the other side of the coin.

Leadership requires humility.

Humility is the quality that shows you that there’s plenty of opportunity to improve.

So one 1 hand.

You must know you are awesome (confidence).

On the other hand.

You must know you are not that awesome yet (humility).

This is a dichotomy of leadership and why it’s so hard, yet valuable.

[MM]: Change the toilet paper 1001 1024 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Change the toilet paper

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

I was out to a sushi with my 2 friends and colleagues last weekend.

We finished a great meal, and just when I was about to leave.

I figured it was a good idea to use the gentleman’s room as I hydrated well and in case I hit traffic.

I walked in and saw the sign on the wall.

It immediately caught my attention and thought of you.

Why?

The simplicity and brilliance were profound.

The truth is that in order to be the change in the world we need.

It starts by doing the little things right.

Here are some examples:

  • Pick up trash.
  • Make your bed.
  • Get your morning workout.
  • Keep the promises you make to yourself when no one is watching.
  • Change the toilet paper.

My message today is that BIG things start small.

So start small, pay it forward, and for goodness’ sake…

Change the toilet paper. 🙂

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: A Solver of People Problems 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: A Solver of People Problems

There is alot to leadership.

However, much of it revolves around 2 basic things.

People and Problems.

If you can solve problems that involve people.

Guess what?

You are a leader.

When you break that down.

The level of complexity of people’s problems you can solve dictates how effective a leader you are.

The more effective leader you are..

The more income, impact, and legacy you will create.

This is the value of leadership.

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

Last month I had my good friend Will come to Fit Body Headquarters. 

He’s from the East Coast, moved to California years ago, and is a world-class educator.

Through being a teacher, he realized something alarming.

The education system has good intentions but lacks education around critical thinking. 

This is a big problem!

After all, we humans are tribal.

We are evolutionarily wired to go with the grain as thousands of years ago, being kicked from the tribe meant death.

However, what if the crowd is going in the wrong direction?

The truth is history is filled with countless examples of the herd going the wrong way.

This is why he founded Patterdox.

It’s also why as business owners and leaders in our communities, we must learn to critically think.

So my message today is to bring awareness of this gap and to empower you to learn this important skill of critical thinking.

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: A Leader of Leaders 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: A Leader of Leaders

As a leader of self, you will create a strong life.

As a leader of followers, you will create a big impact.

As a leader of leaders, you will impact the world. 

Given this framework, I was recently asked how to become a leader of leaders in a coaching call. 

Well, leveling up your leadership is a lifelong pursuit was my first answer.

Big things take time.

The 2nd reply is to identify 3 people you admire.

Then create a list of the characteristics of these people.

Then begin to build those characteristics in yourself line by line.

After all, leadership is an inside game.

Just keep in mind, big things take time so keep going!
