[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.

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!

[MM]: This 1 thing changed the game

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

I read this quote by Benjamin Frankin during my junior of college.

It stopped me in my tracks at the simplicity but genius of it.

“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

I wanted to be healthy, wealthy, and wise so it resonated.

But truth be told.

I didn’t act on it until about 8 years later. 

However, when I did, it changed the game.

In fact, without adopting it, I wouldn’t be writing this email today. 

I wouldn’t have been a business owner, lived abroad, and ascended to become the CEO of an international fitness franchise.

Why?

When you get a jump on the day, you are more productive.

When you are more productive, you become even more productive.

The law of momentum is real.

The trick?

Get to bed by 9pm.

This will create the momentum for you to rise early and dominate your day.

Make it a GREAT and EARLY Week!

Leadership Lesson: The Buck Stops With You 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The Buck Stops With You

When you break it down, leadership is about ownership.

Simply put, the buck stops with you.

Whether you are the CEO of an International Fitness Brand or the CEO of your life.

You are responsible for your success.

No one else.

After all, as a leader, the buck stops with you.

Yes, that’s heavy but equally liberating.

Onward.

[MM]: 4,354 days ago

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

4,354 days ago, my wife Tatiana and my Fit Body Boot Camp ownership journey began on a cold dark morning in Orange County, California.

The date was November 5, 2012. 

I had Tatiana and my sister work out at every session to “make the sessions seem more full” being we started with a whopping 12 free trials.

Our Franchise onboarding support was night and day different back in those days. We now guarantee 100+ paid trials through our owner’s doors. 

I digress.

We had 4 walls, mats, no equipment, and no clue on how to run a business. But we did have the support of our franchise and a whole love of passion to Inspire Fitness and Change Lives.

In the following 4,354 days.

We would open 5 locations, meet an incredible amount of amazing clients/teammates, learn how to operate a business, battle a global pandemic, and change alot of lives through our team who are the true heroes.

It would be an understatement to say this experience has changed our lives with plenty of blood, sweat, and tears shed in the process. 

As I look back, I am filled with so many emotions.

The biggest is gratitude.

In some ways, November 5, 2012, feels like an eternity ago.

In other ways, it feels like yesterday.

Well, my friend.

Last week on Tuesday, October 1, Tatiana and my Fit Body ownership status changed as we transferred Mission Viejo Fit Body to a new owner Coach Melissa.

This is so that I can focus more on the Fit Body Boot Camp brand as your CEO and so we can have children.

On the 1 hand, I am sad as I write this in tears for this chapter finishing.

On the other hand, I’m filled with joy that it happened.

My message today is that you must embrace & drive change.

It’s the only constant in life.

That’s right, out with the old and with the new.

Yes, it’s scary but needed if you want to live a life of impact, income, and legacy.

Head up and onward.

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: The 5th Answer 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The 5th Answer

On a recent podcast of ours, Bedros asked me 5 leadership questions.  In the spirit of serving you, I thought it would be of value to break each question and answer down in the next 5 weeks!

Here is the 5th week’s question and answer.

5.) What do you wish you had started doing earlier in your journey of delegating and scaling your business?

Here are some actions I took and/or should have taken quicker. 

Please note that not all will apply to your situation. However, please review and create an idea list of how you can better your leadership, delegation, and execution. 

  • I should have hired an assistant quicker, screenflowed my work, and begun delegating tasks quicker. 
  • It took me 1 year to hire an admin.
  • It took 4 years to hire a personal assistant Emma who was heaven-sent!
  • In hindsight, I was just scared of the unknown or how to lead/manage people.  
  • The good news is that delegating is like a muscle, you get stronger with more reps, sets, and time.
[MM]: My morning routine (the important few) 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: My morning routine (the important few)

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

With so many things on my plate running an international fitness franchise, I often get asked this question:

“Bryce, what’s your morning routine?”

The answer is simple.

Turns out, there are only 3 things I do when I wake up before getting to work.

  1. 30-minute full-body workout 🏋️
  2. 10-minutes in the hot sauna 🔥
  3. 215 seconds in the cold plunge at 40-degree water. 🥶

Then I’m at my desk by 6:15am ready to attack the day. 💪

Why?

This creates mental and physical toughness.

It creates momentum.

It creates productivity.

Today’s message?

Most times it’s not the trivial many, but the important few that make the difference.

Move your body and train your mind.

Then get to work!

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: The 4th Answer 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The 4th Answer

On a recent podcast of ours, Bedros asked me 5 leadership questions.  In the spirit of serving you, I thought it would be of value to break each question and answer down in the next 5 weeks!

Here is the 4th week’s question and answer.

4.) What are some common misconceptions about delegation, and how can these misconceptions hinder a company’s growth?

Most leaders either don’t delegate enough, or delegate too quickly. 

Turns out that leadership and delegation have a dichotomy to them. 

  • Not enough delegation:
    • Bryce 1.0 couldn’t delegate his CRM access to Tatiana let alone all the other tasks that needed to be executed to lead a business. 
    • Major fail. 
    • The truth is in leadership you must learn to delegate and empower your people to execute.
    • After all, what people create, they support.
    • This frees you up to ensure all the tasks the company needs are executed by the right people. 
    • Pro tip: As a leader, you need to have a monthly reminder to assess your tasks and delegate the ones that can be delegated. 
    • Another strategy is to Screen-flow your work and ask your assistant or teammate what they can delegate.
    • Real talk: It’s hard. It does take time. But like anything, with reps and sets, you will improve. 
  • Delegation too quickly:
    • While you must delegate, it’s a trust-building exercise.
    • You dont meet someone and the next day, ask them to marry.
    • You flirt, get their number, go on dates, build a relationship, create trust, get engaged, then get married.
    • Same with delegation, it needs to be a step ladder approach. 
    • With more trust, more delegation is to be provided. 
    • Pro tip: Let your subordinates know they might feel micromanaged for the first 12 weeks or so in the onboarding process and it’s normal but won’t last forever. 
    • In fact, with strong execution which builds trust, you will give them more space until eventually you lay out the desired outcome and get out of the way to let them execute. 
    • Real talk: Leadership and delegation are trust-building exercises.
