[MM]: Developed: Not Hired

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a productive weekend.

Mine was spent in Austin, TX as my good friend and CEO of a marketing agency called Loud Rumor flew me out to give a keynote at his event.

I spoke to a 200 person audience of Fitness Professionals full of passion!

My requested topic?

How to Hire Studio Location Managers.

I opened it up with a story of how I began as a broke and out of shape alcoholic, to becoming the CEO of an international fitness franchise.

The punchline?

Studio Managers, CEO’s, or any high level teammate are NOT hired.

They are developed.

Let me illustrate this further..

When Tatiana and I first started out with our 1st Fit Body location in 2012, I was the bookkeeper, janitor, sales/marketing guy, and coach all wrapped up into 1.

Was it pretty?

No.

But we were on fire with passion to Inspire Fitness and Change Lives!

The rest, we figured out.

It wasn’t easy.

It took many reps, sets and many years.

But we kept progressing until 1 day I developed to a point where the Founder of Fit Body Bedros Keuilian offered me the VP and then the CEO role.

This didn’t happen overnight.

It took years of development.

My message to the audience and you?

Nothing in life worth pursuing is easy.

We all start out on the ground floor.

But with some passion, grit, and willingness to put in the reps and sets.

You can transform your fitness, your profession, your business and your life.

Just remember: people are DEVELOPED not hired.

Leadership Lesson: Discipline = Freedom 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Discipline = Freedom

Yesterday here in the States, we observed Memorial Day.

It’s a day that we observe in honor of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

After all, freedom isn’t free.

Since the dawn of time, humans have tried to oppress others in the name of survival and power.

This is the nature of the world.

And to be a strong leader of humans. 

You need to be a student of human nature.

As humans, we default to the path of least resistance when given the opportunity.

We procrastinate which is a recipe for oppression.

This is part of our nature.

Instead, realize that discipline creates freedom.

Innately I knew this to be true at a young age.

But a mentor from afar by the name of Jocko Willink reinforced this in teaching.

This teaching is what I want to pass on to you today.

Well, in reality, you already know this to be true.

What I’ve learned about human nature, is most times we need to be reminded more than we need to be taught.

So in honor of Memorial Day and those fallen to protect our freedom.

I wanted to provide you with this leadership reminder.

Discipline = Freedom.

[MM]: Opportunity. Not an obligation 🇺🇸 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Opportunity. Not an obligation 🇺🇸

Family! 🙌

Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Yes, that means it’s Murph Day.

But why?🤔

It honors the sacrifice of those beautiful souls who gave their life to protect our freedom.

After all..

Freedom is what our country stands for. 🇺🇸

Freedom is the gift that fitness gives.💪

The best part?

We have the opportunity to work on our fitness every day.🌟

This is 1 of the many reasons I am passionate about being a Fit Body Owner!

It creates freedom from depression and anxiety.

So while crushing your Murph workout.

My message today is to remember that you don’t HAVE to work out.

You GET to work out.💯

It’s an opportunity and not an obligation. 

Many souls like Michael P. Murphy, US Navy Seal paid the ultimate sacrifice so we could have this opportunity.

Please remember that today and always, which is my message.✨

Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Leadership Lesson: Own It 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Own It

Leadership is about owning it.

Yes, the good, bad, and ugly.

Case in point, Tatiana and I received an apology letter from a former coach of ours this week.

He coached for us a few years ago as our Head Coach.

Good-hearted dude but made some poor choices, became negative, dropped some balls, and then had an adverse reaction to accountability.

It wasn’t a fun situation or ending to his employment. It created friction for the team and clients.

Sadly, sometimes it’s how these things go in working with young teammates.

To clear the air though.

Heaven knows I pulled a couple of not-so-smart moves in my mid-20s working on teams. So not here to cast stones.

In fact, here to do the opposite. 

It was refreshing for Tatiana to review the apology email.

It was simple but effective.

He owned his actions and apologized for them with sincerity.

While it was nice to receive for us, the big value was for him so hats off.

He just gained perspective, growth and credibility with himself which will serve him well in the future.

This is my leadership message today.

As a leader, you will make mistakes.

This is part of the journey.

But when you do and come to that realization, promptly admit, own it, and apologize.

When you do, you free yourself and others.

This is leadership.

Onward.

[MM]: Own It 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Own It

Happy Monday!🙌

Today’s mindset message is about leadership.✨

There’s a lot to the subject.

But at the core.

Leadership is about owning it.👊

Or in other words, taking responsibility for your actions.

Yes, the good, bad, and ugly.

To illustrate my point, I will share a story with you from last week.👇

Unexpectedly, Coach Tatiana and I received an apology letter from a former coach of ours.

He coached for us a few years ago at another location we used to lead.

Good-hearted guy but made some poor choices, became negative, dropped some balls, and then had an adverse reaction to accountability.

It wasn’t a fun situation or ending to his employment. 

It created friction for the team and clients.

Sadly, sometimes it’s how these things go in working with young teammates.

That’s the tough truth about leadership, and life.👊

To clear the air though.

Heaven knows I pulled a couple of not-so-smart moves in my mid-20s working on teams. 

So not here to cast stones.

In fact, here to do the opposite. 

It was refreshing for Tatiana to review the apology note.🙏

It was simple but effective.

He owned his actions and apologized for them with sincerity.

While it was nice to receive for us.

The biggest value was for him.🌟

He just gained perspective, growth and credibility with himself. 💥

This will serve him well in the future.

This is my leadership message today.

As a leader of self, you will make mistakes.

This is part of the growth journey.🌱

But when you do and you come to that realization..

Promptly admit, apologize and own the mistake.

When you do, you free yourself and others.

This is leadership and the best way to live.⚡️

Happy Monday!

Leadership Lesson: Lead Your Empire 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Lead Your Empire

Well, my friend, this is where things get interesting.

Leading an empire takes a lot more skill set than the first 2.

However, without the foundation of self and family leadership, there’s not a possibility for the third.

Now before you can lead an empire.

You must always ask yourself this.

How far down the rabbit hole of leadership do you want to go?

Building a house vs. a skyscraper are 2 different things.

Leading an empire (skyscraper) is not for the faint of heart.

It takes thick skin, a burning passion, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. 

It takes an understanding that if you do it right.

You won’t be liked.

However..

You will be respected.

But this choice is only for you to make.

As for me, I have the will. 

For some of you.

You do too!

But even if you don’t. 

There’s gold on this path.

My goal is to take you down a continued journey.

In the last 4 decades, I’ve been able to acquire the skillset to lead a $65M/year empire known as Fit Body Boot Camp.

For some people, that’s large.

For other people, it’s tiny.

Regardless of where you stand.

Over the coming weeks and months ahead, I will teach you everything I know about how to lead this.

My recommendation?

Observe.

Learn.

Implement. 

And In the words of a leadership mentor from a far..

“A leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”

Let’s go!

[MM]: What’s even worse than rock bottom.. 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: What’s even worse than rock bottom..

Happy Monday!🙌

Last week I was in the studio with my business partner Bedros.

We recorded a few new episodes for the release of my newly branded podcast the “CEO Show” with Bryce Henson.

I’m excited for the release of the show on July 3 so stay tuned.👊

In 1 of the episodes, we talked about “hitting rock bottom”.

While that’s not a fun place to be.❌

Bedros said something interesting which I resonated with..

“Bryce, you know what’s even worse than rock bottom. Hoverging just an inch above rock bottom. That’s true misery.”

His comment stopped my in my tracks.

I had never thought of it that way.

But in an instant, I knew the genius of it.✨

It reminded me when I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol in December 2016.

While the experience of seeing a loved one in distress was horrible.

The painful event and the self reflection of my own demons around the situation created change.

It actually caused me to wake up and take action to remove alcohol from my life.

As a result.

I’m a better person and leader.🌟

If you can believe..

I’m grateful for hitting rock bottom.🙏

Rock bottom forced change.

While that was bad.

What was worse was the months that led up to that experience.

It was hell.

You see, Bedros was right.💯

Hovering over rock bottom was the true misery.

It’s a point of misery, just out of reach out action. 

Ahh!!!

Anyway, I was inspired by last week’s chat.

So wanted to share the story & takeaway to inspire you today.⚡️

So please remember..

Sometimes rock bottom is a better place than hovering over it.

As rock bottom forces change.

So if this is you, surrender to it and let the rebound begin.

In the case you need a change or just need someone to talk to, my team and I are here to help.

Just reply.

Happy Monday!🔥

Leadership Lesson: Lead Your Family 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Lead Your Family

In the last 2 weeks, we uncovered a simple way to lead yourself. 

Through your fitness.

Taking care of your health and fitness is your ultimate form of self-leadership.

Now it’s time to expand on the leadership framework.

When you can lead yourself, you are capable of leading your family.

The best way to do this?

Take a step back and think to yourself who is someone you admire.

What qualities does this person possess?

Make a list.

Write them down.

Now here’s where it gets good.

Begin to model these qualities in your own life.

Quality by quality.

Through this, you will build a person others admire.

No, this is not easy.

It’s hard, real hard.

So is leadership.

Why?

You have flaws, lots of them.

I do too.

[MM]: It’s not the size of the dog… 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: It’s not the size of the dog…

Happy Monday Mindset!

To finish off the quote from the headline..

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight.

It’s the size of the fight in the dog!

Why do I share this today?

I just connected with an old friend which reminded me of this motto I took on in my youth.You see, I was a whopping 5’1 my freshman year.

I didn’t grow much further until my senior year.

Entering high school, I was the smallest guy in my class of 200+.

It wasn’t fun. 

I was insecure. 

I had to work 3x as hard in athletics just to keep up.

I hated it. 

However, it ended up becoming my super power.

Why?

It taught me work ethic.

It taught me the need to hustle.

It taught me grit.

It taught me I need to do what others are unwilling to do to become successful.

This has carried with me until this day.

And this is my message for you today.

No matter what “disadvantage” you think you have.

If you re-frame it, it can be a blessing.

After all..

Adversity is your advantage. 

So remember:

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight.

It’s the size of the fight in the dog!

Happy Monday and please share this with someone in need!

Leadership Lesson: Lead Yourself Over The 99% 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Lead Yourself Over The 99%

Last week we covered this: 

Leading yourself is the first principle to become a better leader.

By dialing in your fitness and maintaining a healthy weight, you now are qualified to lead 80% of people in our country.

Ok, great.

But let’s take it to another level, shall we?

What if you wanted a tool to help you lead more than 99% of people.

Here is the secret:

Take your fitness to a higher level more than just maintaining a healthy weight.

The target is: you should look like your workout.

In other words.

No one should need to ask if you lift weights.

They should know by your appearance alone.

This means a consistent focus on lifting weights and clean nutrition.

This will separate your leadership.

Full stop.

Now does this mean, that just because you are noticeably in shape, you are an amazing leader?

No.

But it does send a message to yourself and others that can lead you.

When you can lead you, others will follow.

So please take action as this discipline is a tool to better your life and separate you and your leadership.
