Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Elusive 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Elusive

Leadership is Elusive.

It’s a lifelong pursuit.

Just when you think you have it, you realize you don’t.

Just when you think it’s impossible, you realize it’s attainable. 

The truth is this:

Sometimes you are ahead.

Sometimes you’re behind.

The race is long.

However, no matter where you are in the moment on your leadership journey. 

Continuing to acquire leadership skills is a worthwhile pursuit.

At the very least, to be a leader of self which humanity needs right now and always will.

So keep your head up, and keep going.

People are counting on you.

Onward!

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

On October 1, my wife Tatiana and I transferred our last Fit Body Boot Camp location in Mission Viejo, California to our friend and former Fit Body client Melissa.

The main reason was so I could spend even more time leading the Fit Body brand.

Taking a look back at the experience.

Fit Body ownership was a journey we started in November of 2012 with our first location.

At the time, we didn’t know what we were doing.

However, we knew we wanted to fulfill our mission of Inspiring Fitness and Changing Lives Every Day!

Fast forward 12 years, and it’s been quite the ride.

We learned and grew so much with the experience.

Then in 2018, Bedros, Founder of Fit Body, recruited me to lead the brand.

While our ownership chapter has ended, the new chapter of Fit Body’s growth will be unprecedented.

I’m grateful for you to be on this journey with our, Franchise Partners, coaches, and brand. 

Today’s message, I have included my farewell to our clients. 

I hope it inspires you to go after your dreams which is my message today.

As heaven knows, if I can do it.

YOU CAN TOO!

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: It’s a powerful tool of influence 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: It’s a powerful tool of influence

In German, the translation of the word “Leadership” has a negative connotation. 

This is different than here in the US where the word is typically looked on fondly.

I learned that last week when I interviewed my friends Dr. Dirk and Dr. Petra Frese on my CEO Show Podcast, who grew up on other sides of the Berlin Wall in West & East Germany in the 1960s.

Why does it have a negative connotation?

A man named Adolf Hitler.

Yes, he was a world-class leader.

It’s strange to hear him described that way, but it’s the truth.

Albeit, he was pure evil which is the 2nd truth. 

As such, he used this powerful tool of “leadership” to negatively influence the hearts & minds of the Germans in the 30’s and 40’s to murder millions of innocent people.

So my leadership lesson today is one of perspective.

Leadership is a tool, like money or energy.

With a positive direction, they can build beautiful things.

With a negative direction, they cause destruction. 

It’s the energy we put behind the tool that gives it meaning.

Today I share with you the reminder that Leadership is a powerful tool of influence.

I teach it because of the power.

However, my intent, like yours, is to use for the good.

Do so accordingly.

Onward.

[MM]: The World Needs Us Now More Than Ever

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

My brother Barrett, who is my Executive Director of Coaching for Fit Body and I did training in Scottsdale, Arizona a couple of weeks ago.

We were there to deliver for a friend of ours who is a mega social media influencer and entrepreneur.

Just before the training started, I realized I forgot to pack gum so went across the street to the gas station.

I haven’t been to a gas station in a couple of years since getting a Tesla Model 3. 

So I went to grab my gum and then scanned the store for Barrett’s fancy sparkling water. Lol 

For as long as the eye could see, the store was lined with sugar and processed foods. 

No exaggeration here.

That’s right.

The entire store was packed with the ingredients for a major health crisis.

Then it hit me.

In the words of RFK – we need to make America healthy again.

Why?

Chronic disease and obesity are rampant due to processed food and a lack of exercise.

Yes, the work we do here at Fit Body Boot Camp is meaningful.

Lots of people are counting on us.

The good news?

Fit Body’s mission is to Inspire Fitness and Change Lives.

The best part?

My team and I want you to join our mission.

After all, the world needs us now more than ever.

Make it a GREAT week and Happy Thanksgiving!

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. 

For full insight into the leadership lesson, click here.

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.

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.
