Leadership Lesson: Winners Win 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Winners Win

This is a famous adage in sports.

It’s true for leadership.

As a leader, you must put your team in a position to win.

If you cannot do this, you will not possess long-term influence which is the essence of leadership.

This is the bottom line.

The good news?

Winning is a mentality. 

With time, intentionality, and consistency, you can train yourself to compete.

You can train yourself to become a winner.

The best news?

In a time where society is softening, it’s more attainable than ever.

You just need to possess a little savage stacked with strong persistence and will. 

Now go forth and lead.

Just remember: Winners Win.

[MM]: A true friend 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: A true friend

Happy Monday Mindset!

I met my good friend Matt Johns in October of 2007 here in Orange County through one of my best friends from England.

“Johnzy” grew up a few hours from London and decided to take a traveling trip through California.

Fortune was on my side as we hit it off immediately.

Kindred spirits.

Johnzy is the type of guy with an adventurous soul, loves sport & travel with a BIG appetite for life. 

My kinda dude.

As a result, we have traveled the world together for the last 15+ years touring North & South America with a whole lot of Europe sprinkled in.

This includes completing the Murph at Mission Viejo Fit Body in May of 2022.

So it was an honor to be invited and celebrate his wedding to his beautiful bride Charlotte last month.

The event was made up of 1 Brazilian, 2 Frenchmen, 2 Americans and 100+ Britts deep in the English countryside.

And while the wedding was a magical experience..

1 specific moment struck me.

It was getting late in the evening and I was at the bar with Tatiana ordering water when an overserved friend of his offered to buy me a beer.

I politely declined but he insisted.

Now for the record, I am very well capable of reinforcing my decisions.

But over my shoulder I hear a loud bolstering voice.

“Mate – enough already. Bryce doesn’t drink”.

Full stop.

For context, this is from a guy who I spent the first 7 years of my relationship with drinking alcohol on trips and exploring the world together.

The beauty of it all?

Johnzy is well aware I am a recovering alcoholic.

While I changed my pattern of life in December of 2016..

It didn’t change our friendship.And what’s best?

He supports me just the same.

That’s a true friend!

My message today is to surround yourself with people who are going to lift you up and support good decisions that make you better.

This is what a true friend is.

I hope I can be one of those people for you; and you in turn for someone else.

Have a great week!

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Take the Lead 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Take the Lead

Leaders take the lead.

Sounds basic but is often overlooked in leadership.

When starting any new initiative, here’s the tough truth.

There is always resistance.

There are always unknowns and kinks to work through in anything new.

Always.

This is the reason why when a leader begins a new initiative, they must be the ones who lead it.

A leader must roll up his/her sleeves and get messy.

Why?

Even successful initiatives have roadblocks.

This is why your call to action is to lead the charge and smooth out the kinks.

Once the foundation is laid, then you delegate and get out of the way so your team can execute.

Then on to the next initiative.

Rinse and repeat.

Just remember: Leaders take the lead.

[MM]: Life: a game of inches (Saturday’s assassination attempt) 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Life: a game of inches (Saturday’s assassination attempt)

Happy Monday Mindset!

No doubt you saw the events on Saturday as world-renowned businessman and former President Donald Trump was 2 inches from being assassinated.

Whether you love or hate the man.

That is not the focus as this is not a political message.

Instead, it’s one engrained in humanity and perspective.

As I reflected on the events, there’s a lot to unpack and most of it is out of the scope of my entrepreneurial message.

Specific to today’s message and given the events.

I couldn’t help but contemplate the fragility of life all weekend.

If that bullet went 2 inches to the left, things would be very different for our country and world.

The lesson?

Life is a game of inches.

1 inch here, you’re too late.

An inch there, you’re too early.

Every inch, every second, and every moment in this thing called life counts.

So my message today is for you to seek perspective.

Even if things are not going well for you at the moment.

The good news is that you are closer to a better life than you think.

Grabbing 1 more weekly workout, eliminating 1 glass of alcohol per week, executing 1 business vetting discovery call, replacing 1 fast food meal with a healthy one, or attending 1 business growth event can and will change your life.

These decisions might seem insignificant in the moment but over time, they stack up and matter.

The inches of life are all around us.

But it’s up to you to make every one of them count!

Have a great Monday, head up and onward America.

PS Prayers to the person who lost their life and those who were injured.

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Translate 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Translate

We learned last week that leaders connect.

A way to connect is through translation; which is today’s lesson.

You see, effective leaders translate.

In other words, they speak to their audience.

I was reminded of my recent trip to London for my friend Matt’s wedding.

Thankfully, we use the same English language. 

But there are still many things that are not American, especially in Dublin, Ireland where we finished up the trip.

Ireland and most of the world for that matter measure weight in grams, distance in kilometers, and temperature in centigrade.

In my younger days of travel, I would try to force pressure on the Imperial system in my exchanges.

This was a novice move and a major fail. 

It wasn’t until I realized that I needed to learn how to lift weights in kilograms, measure distances in kilometers, and communicate temperature in Celsius.

In essence, I learned how to translate.

Side note and fun fact, 28-30 degrees Celsius is my type of weather. 😎

Ok, I digress.

My point is that as a leader, it’s not about you. 

It never has been or will be.

Instead, it is about the people you serve.

And when you serve others, you need to translate to them.

You need to know your audience and speak to them in their language.

This is where the influence lies.

After all, leadership is influence.

So if you want to be a better leader, learn how to translate to your audience.

[MM]: Freedom & … 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Freedom & …

Happy Monday Mindset!

I hope you had a great holiday weekend.

I did!

It was productive and started with a full body circuit at my Mission Viejo Fit Body location.

Just the way I like it. 🙂

As I reflect, the 4th has become one of my favorite holidays.

In my youth, I took it for granted.

I suppose when you come from the freest & richest country in the world.

This can happen.

You can lose sight of that throughout history.

Freedom is the exception, not the rule.

Last week Thursday was a good reminder!

With this in mind and on the other side of freedom that is something not talked about but equally significant.

What is this you might ask?

It’s RESPONSIBILITY.

With great power and freedom, comes great RESPONSIBILITY!

This is how I have learned to view freedom.

With freedom..

I have the RESPONSIBILITY to be fit, to be healthy, and to be active.

With freedom..

I have the RESPONSIBILITY to be kind, generous, and helpful to others.

With freedom..

I have the RESPONSIBILITY to live a life of service and in honor of those who have come before me that didnt have the opportunity.

This is why I love freedom, I love fitness and I love RESPONSIBILITY.

I hope you do too, which is my message today!

Let’s make it a GREAT WEEK!

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Connect 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Connect

A big aspect of leadership is connection.

There are many ways to do this.

A big one is through language & culture.

Why?

These things are meaningful to people.

I was reminded of this on my recent trip to the UK for my friend Matt’s wedding.

While I met many Britts.

Being a first-world country with a high standard of living, I met many foreigners throughout Europe living there too.

One thing I learned in my travels years ago which is similar to learning someone’s name.

If you can speak 1 word of someone’s language or know a distinct fact about their culture. 

This provides an immediate connection point.

Upon this discovery, I’ve made a point to learn about 30+ words in various languages which acts as an immediate bridge to connect.

As a result, when I meet someone and learn where there from.

I greet them with my 1 word in their language OR ask them to teach me “thank you”.

Their reaction?

90% of the time their eyes light up, their guard goes down and they lean into the conversation.

This creates an instant connection which is a tool to help you lead.

[MM]: ½ Way Home 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: ½ Way Home

Happy Monday Mindset!

July 1 is here.

It’s the start of Q3 which means we are officially ½ way through 2024!

Where has the year gone?

The truth is that both life & business happen fast.

This is why you must lead a life of intention.

So let me ask you.

Have you made progress on your professional 2024 annual targets?

How about your personal goals for 2024?

Have you taken action to launch your passion-based business?

Have you planned the trip with your family?

What personal and business adjustments do you have to make as we look into Q3 and the latter half of the year?

In sports, the coach who can make the best ½ time adjustments dramatically increases the probability of victory.

This is what you must do as the coach of your life.

You must plan.

You must communicate.

You must take action.

But you also must reflect, debrief, and make ½ time adjustments.

Even if your first ½ of 2024 was less than ideal.

The good news is that you have a new opportunity!

After all, NOW is the time being we are ½ way home to 2025.

Let’s make it a GREAT WEEK!

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Perspective. Perspective is Leadership. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Perspective. Perspective is Leadership.

As the headline states, the more perspective you gain, the better leader you can become.

There are many ways to gain perspective.

Today’s lesson is about travel.

I learned this lesson in May 2004 when I enrolled myself through a study abroad program entering my senior year of college.

I put myself on a plane to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and never have been the same.

This week I am at it again in the United Kingdom.

Tatiana and I ventured out to London, England to attend my good friend Matt’s wedding on Saturday.

Matt’s an English bloke I met in 2007 in Orange County through a mutual friend on his world travels. 

We hit it off and have traveled the world together over the last 15+ years. 

We have journeyed from LA to New York, Brazil, Portugal, Croatia, Greece, and the list goes on.

It was extra special seeing him and his new bride Charlotte get married in England on his home turf.

It was a fantastic event although uncomfortable.

Travel always is.

The 11-hour flight, the 8-hour time difference, the hard jetlag, the small hotel living quarters, the confusion at the train station, the tough eating options, and the list goes on.

The truth is travel is hard, it’s uncomfortable and not easy.

In the moment, many times it’s not enjoyable.

But that’s where the value lies.

It pushes you, it stretches you.

It gives you new looks at people, human nature, and life.

The experience enriches your life with time.

It provides you with perspective.

And remember:

Perspective is leadership.

Leadership is perspective.
