[MM]: EXACTLY where you should be 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: EXACTLY where you should be

Happy Monday!🙌

I received this note from my good friend Tom a while back.📝

He is one of our Franchise Business coaches and 1 of our most successful owners of a Fit Body near Dallas, Texas.🌟

He sent the message to our Franchise partners as a piece of mindset coaching.

I made a note as I was inspired and believe it’s very applicable to you.

I trust you will get value.😍 

If you do, please pay it forward and share. 🙂

Family!

I had a fantastic coaching call with one of our franchise partners last week, and I hope YOU had a coaching call too!

Her location has been open for a little more than a year.

On the call, she asked me… 

“For being open one year – how do you think we are doing?”

My answer was straightforward and honest.

I replied..

You are EXACTLY where you should be based on the thoughts that you’ve had and the actions you’ve taken up to this point. 

And the same is true for you, your friends, your clients, and every single person on planet earth.

And it’s true no matter if we are talking about weight loss, career, financial success, marital success or ANYTHING else in life.

Ponder that for a second…

Both you and every single person on planet earth are EXACTLY where they should be based on the beliefs, thoughts, and actions that they’ve had up to this point.

So if you are content with where you are..

GREAT!

Keep doing what you are doing!

If you are NOT content with where you are in life, my suggestion would be. 

  1. Don’t worry about the past. It’s done and dusted.
  2. Start having the thoughts and then taking the actions that someone who is where you want to be would have.

Yes, it really is that simple.

Our lives are simply a culmination of our beliefs, thoughts, and actions.

Success truly is an inside job.✨

Lucky for you, you have a team of coaches that can help shape

your beliefs and assign you actions.

Please reach out to us, we are here!

Make it a GREAT Monday!🔥

Leadership Lesson: Your Character 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Your Character

Before jumping in today’s lesson..

I wanted to close the loop from last week on why I find my buddy Stefan to be 1 of the most interesting people I know..

He was born in LA.

This makes him American.

Although, he is European by culture. 

His parents moved to Paris for 10 years after being born, being that his dad is French.

He then spent the next 10 years in London as his mom’s English.

He speaks both languages natively.

He holds 4 passports and has lived in 3 countries for more than a decade a piece. 

Yes, I know what you might be thinking..

This dude sounds like Matt Damon in the “Bourne Identity” Hollywood Blockbusters.

Exactly. 

As a result, I found deep intrigue, connection and we made quick friends back in 2005. 

Since then, he’s inspired me..

To travel the world. 

To gain fluency in Brazilian Portuguese.

To attain citizenship from Portugal.

To gain more perspective than I would have otherwise.

And this perspective has helped me with my leadership ability. 

Ok, I digress.

But his follow-up question around developing leadership was how to develop character.


Well, there are many ways to do this.

1 of the best ways is, to tell the truth at all times.

Simple yet powerful.

Although, not easy to do. 

As a leader, your word has to be impeccable. 

It must be flawless.

This can be 1 of the hardest parts.

Why?

Your primitive brain wants its selfish desires at any cost.

It tempts you if left unchecked. 

You must combat that by working on growing yourself to a higher level.

A more evolved version of you.

This is why attending my 12-step program has been so powerful for me in helping me stay sober from alcohol and to become a better leader.

It helps me tell the truth and develop my character.

These are requirements for strong leadership. 

In fact, most times people are very surprised to find out the main focus of the 12-step program isn’t toward a focus on talking about alcohol.

Instead, the focus is on telling the truth to develop character.

In fact, the motto is it is “a program of rigorous honesty”.

But more on that next week.

For now, remember that your ability to tell the truth shapes your character, and your character shapes your leadership.

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!🙏

It’s my favorite holiday of the year without question.

The best part?

Tatiana and I coached the day’s sessions!🌟

With my role in overseeing our brand, I don’t get the opportunity often.

But it’s always a treat.

Why?

It reminds me why I got into the business.

For the people!💥

It’s always such a fun experience connecting, coaching, supporting, and pushing our clients to success.🥰

It gives our team of world-class coaches a holiday break.

It grounds me to the business.

It reminds me of the challenge of the coaching role.

This all creates perspective.⚡️

And perspective creates fulfillment which is what I want for you!

My message today is to seek a new perspective.🔥

Mix up your routine.

Make plans to take a new hike.

Visit an old friend.

Go find a new restaurant.

Take on a new challenge or adventure.✨

Do something new or revisit something of the past.

This will also give you both perspective and fulfillment which will enrich your life. 

Make it a GREAT Monday!😍

Leadership Lesson: The Most Important Thing 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The Most Important Thing

I was in Seattle over the weekend visiting my good buddy Stefan of 20 years.

I haven’t taken 1.5 days off in a long time and it felt great.

The time was extra special to spend with his 2 kids and wife who are like family to Tatiana & I. 

Stefan has had a big impact on my life.

He’s also 1 of the most interesting guys on the planet. 

Next week, I will tell you why..

For now, know that he’s very inquisitive.

On the 2nd night of the trip, he asked me a wide variety of questions about my role and about Fit Body.

He finished with a question specific to leadership.

“Bryce, since you have taken over the main leadership role as CEO, what have you learned about leadership or how has your viewpoint changed around it?”.

Brilliant question.

My response was immediate and surprised him.

“Dude, great question!

There’s so much to it and I learn something new every day.

Very humbling. 

First, I’ve learned that leadership is a learnable skill.

Like riding a bike, playing a sport or learning a language.

Anyone can develop it.

I’ve gotten so much better in a short time.

Although, I still have a long way to go.

But by far the biggest thing I’ve learned in the last 2 years about leadership is this..

The better leader you want to be, the stronger your CHARACTER has to become.

Like a giant skyscraper needs a giant foundation.

As a leader, your character is your foundation.

The stronger your character, the stronger your foundation & ability to lead. 

My biggest realization is that I need to work on my CHARACTER to become a better person & leader. “

He then replied..

“Interesting. How then do you develop your character?”.

My friend, this is also an important question with lots of strategies to unpack.

I will cover some of these in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Coach Jake sent Tatiana and I a text message a couple weeks ago on Sunday, November 5.

In general terms, the date is burned in my brain.

Yet, this year, his message caught me by surprise in the hustle and bustle.

Why did he message?

Coach Jake congratulated us.🌟

Being that on November 5, 2012, Tatiana and I opened our first Fit Body location here in Orange County, California.💥 

That date is now 11 years ago, which I still cannot believe.

What was it like?

It was a cold, dark and rainy morning.

We didn’t know a lot of people in the community.

We didn’t have a strong marketing strategy.

Only 1 month prior I had moved a mile next to our location.

I rented a studio apartment so we could launch our new business. 

A mere 1-week prior Tatiana arrived from Brazil.🇧🇷

It was exciting but stressful!

Why?

I had dumped my life savings to get the doors open on this new business.  Many loved ones, with good intentions, cautioned us against the risk.

We had many challenges to overcome.

There were a lot of things we didn’t know.

But what we lacked in experience and resources.

We made up for it with HEART and PASSION!💕

The passion towards the mission of inspiring fitness and changing lives that burns true till this day!

Was it easy?

No.

Launching a business is one of the hardest things we have ever done.🔥

This is why most fail.

In fact, the first handful of months we couldn’t afford a team.

Every month, it was a fight for survival.

Many times in the first year, we were on the brink of making rent.

There were many days where things didn’t look good.

Oftentimes, we felt like quitting.

But even though those early days were hard.

We keep putting 1 foot in front of the other.

We kept pushing forward.

Fast forward 11 years and this mission to change lives continues.🙏

Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

So, on this special Thanksgiving week..

Tatiana, team, and I wanted to give THANKS to YOU for your support and love!✨

YOU are the reason for our passion towards fitness!

YOU are the reason we get to do what we love!

My message today:

Stop today and send a gratitude text to someone who has helped you on your journey.🥰 

There’s no free rides in life, but someone has provided you support when you desperately needed it.

This is the same YOU did for us!

Please also realize that nothing in life that’s valuable comes easy or free.

This is true for your health & fitness.💯

Yes, it will be harder than you think.

But it will be more fulfilling than you can imagine.

And even when the going gets tough..

Put 1 foot in front of the other and keep pushing forward.

Happy Thanksgiving.🙏

We are grateful for YOU!😍

Leadership Lesson: Veterans Day Leadership 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Veterans Day Leadership

Veterans Day was this past Saturday here in the States.

Love and respect to the beautiful souls who served. Many who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

In studying leadership and human personality styles.. 

I find it interesting that the most popular personality style for the military is different than you might think.

What is it?

No, not the intense Eagle, the energetic Parrot or the analytical Owl.

It’s the DOVE.

Why?

Doves have servants’ hearts. They are willing and ready to protect others and the common good.

Yes, sometimes the Dove style can default to passive when it comes to their own journey.

Yet, when it comes to fighting for something they believe in and to help others.. A Dove will rise to the occasion in spades.

Martin Luther King Jr is a most famous dove leader who was fierce and effective towards a cause he believed in. 

In fact, he fought so hard for the cause, he gave his life to it.

Respect.

This is also true of Howard Schultz, Founder & CEO of Starbucks. Big dove and an amazing leader. 

His passion is creating a world-class experience for his audience.

In reflection on these examples, my message today is this…

All styles are valuable and can lead.

No, not just the renowned Eagle which is a common stereotype of leadership. But many times it is miscategorized. 

Yes, Eagles can lead well too. 

But in stress, they become abrasive which can create friction and a fallout. 

I’ve been guilty of this.

So my call to action today is to realize whatever personality style you have, you can lead. You just need to develop the skill. 

And what’s even better?

When you develop the skill set to be a Chameleon which is the target. You can connect and lead all personality styles to success.

This, my friend, is leadership.

Love and respect to you and all our amazing Veteran leaders. 

[MM]: Never take this for granted 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Never take this for granted

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

It was Veterans Day on Saturday.🌟

It reminded me of something we should never take for granted.

What specifically?

FREEDOM.

Why?

This is a tough truth of life..

FREEDOM is not free.

As you are aware..

You don’t have to look too hard just in these last 3 years alone.

Violence, chaos and oppression have erupted in many corners throughout the globe.

The truth is that FREEDOM has and will always be under attack by outside forces.🎯

This is why it needs to be valued and protected.

It needs to be enjoyed and never taken for granted.

In fact, if you are reading this and enjoying freedom on this beautiful Monday to read this inspirational message..

Thank a veteran for the privilege.

That thought inspired me this past Saturday.

I hope it does the same to you.

Thank you to those of you who served.🙏

Love and respect.💕

Leadership Lesson: The Most Important Thing 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The Most Important Thing

November is here!

This means, we are going to take a month break from the 21 Laws by Maxwell for some variety before finishing out laws #15-21 in the New Year.

Specific to today.. 

I want to take a step back around leadership and focus on the 1 key ingredient to leadership success.

As I reflect on our Cancun Mastermind experience a couple weeks ago, I received a very nice compliment from my good friend Matt E.

He shot me a voice shot to give 2 big positives and 2 opportunities to make the next event even better.

I am grateful for him and the well intentioned feedback as it creates growth.

He then said..

“Bryce, you are 1 of the best born leaders I’ve seen. 

Wait…. I know, I know.. Leadership is not factory installed in anyone. But turns out, you have learned leadership to an incredible degree.”

Coming from a guy I respect like Matt, that means a ton.

He was probably being too kind.

However, yes..

I’m grateful for the leadership skills I acquired.

But the mountain is tall and more yet to attain. 

Now in reflecting on his statement specific to born vs. learned.

2 things can be true.

I’ve learned more leadership skills than were factory installed.

Not even close.

Although, there is 1 most important thing that every leader must have that is factory installed.

I believe it’s the most important thing to being a successful leader in my book.

What is it?

Simply put..

The feeling of RESPONSIBILITY.

You see, I believe every strong leader naturally feels the burden of responsibility for their following.

That’s the most important thing which is very hard to teach.

The rest can be and is learned.

For me, Im “lucky or burdened” enough to have felt responsible.

I feel RESPONSIBLE for YOU!

I feel responsible for our Franchise Partners & clients.

I feel and have felt responsible for Barrett and my sister Emma for as long as I have known them.

I feel responsible for my mother.

I feel responsible for my wife Tatiana.


I feel responsible for the outcome of our organization.

I feel responsible for the newly formed Legacy Tribe coaching program which is a Lead Magnet for Fit Body Ownership. 

Ultimately and when you break it down.. 

I feel RESPONSIBLE..

And while the feeling of responsibility is a heavy burden to carry.

I believe it’s the most important thing at the foundation of strong leadership.

Today’s message?

If you want to develop your leadership skills..

You must have a deep and burning desire to do so.

And in my experience..

This all boils down to feeling RESPONSIBLE for the people you serve.

In fact, feeling RESPONSIBLE for your following and the outcome is the most important thing to your leadership development.

Now go forth and conquer.

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

A couple of months ago, I walked downstairs at 2am to grab some water from the fridge as I was feeling a bit dehydrated.💧

When my feet hit the carpet on the living room floor, I immediately knew something was wrong.

Why?

I could hear the “squish” of the water soaked carpet on my feet.

As I would come to find out, a water pipe burst and caused major water damage.

Ouch.😓

The result?

Tatiana and I had to be uprooted for 2 weeks.

Then $100,000+ damage later.. 

The worst part?

While we stopped the leak and fixed the pipes within the 2 week clip.

It still looks to be another handful of months before our house will be fixed. This is due to a bit of ongoing back and forth with the insurance company.

Fun times!👊

As I remember while being right in the thick of the events.  Out of some frustration I muttered something like..

“Tatiana, this absolute chaos. It’s like our house is in the middle of a war zone.”

Yes, I was frustrated at the situation. 

But as soon as I heard myself speak the last sentence out loud..

I was stopped dead in my tracks as I had a true moment of clarity.✨

A voice deep within yelled:

“Mrs. Henson, this is not a disaster. 

This is a 1st world inconvenience at best.

There are many people in the world right now who’s homes are actually in war zones.

Perspective Mr. Henson. Perspective.”

Message from upstairs received. 

It was a moment of clarity and perspective I needed.

I share this with you today in the hopes that if you are going through something that is a big issue.

Maybe it is. 

Although, maybe it just needs an adjustment in perspective like was needed for me.

Let’s make it a GREAT Monday!🔥

Tuesday Leadership Lesson 150 150 Bryce Henson

Tuesday Leadership Lesson

As John Maxwell writes in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership..

“Victorious leaders have one thing in common: they share an unwillingness to accept defeat.” 

This is probably 1 of my favorite laws of leadership. 

In fact, it’s why I LOVE the saying “winners-win”.

As if you cannot drive a winning culture, you will not become an effective leader.

So how to execute the Law of Victory?

You first must intentionally develop a mindset that values winning.

Yes, winning is a mindset before it becomes a destination.

In order to develop this mindset..

The first step is to define what winning looks like.

The second is to cast the vision for yourself, team and department to win at any cost so long as it’s legal, ethical and moral. 

This drives an expectation that you must do everything in your power to achieve this desired result. 

And as a result, your organization wins and you develop to become the leader you are meant to become.

Now go forth and conquer.Just always remember: winners-win!
