Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

In 2009, I decided to learn a foreign language from scratch. 

I landed on Brazilian Portuguese as I was inspired by a visit to Rio de Janeiro over Christmas 2008. And I have been on a consistent journey ever since.🇧🇷

I am happy to report I am conversationally fluent after years of painstaking work.💥

How have I accomplished this goal?

Well, in many ways.  

I’ve lived in Brazil for 2 years. I’ve taken many online classes. I’ve enrolled in a Brazilian University. I’ve hired tutors. I married a Brazilian gal. I have lived with her family. I invested in the Rosetta Stone and executed countless other strategies in order to achieve fluency.

Many of these strategies have added to my bilingual ability, including most notably my mother-in-law Cristina and my private teacher Mara. 

Specific to Mara, she lives in Laguna Beach. 

She was born & raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil nearly 30 before I was born.  We started working together in June of 2014 and meet every weekend for an hour. 

There’s an occasional weekend where we are traveling that we miss. But that aside, we are very-very consistent. ✨

Is it easy? No. 

Truthfully, most weekends I do not “feel” like taking class prior. I have my internal doubts and think of all the other things I could be doing instead of the hard work!

But I always seem to dig deep, push those feelings aside and meet with her.  And you guessed it.. After our lesson, I am always happy I did!🥰

Kinda like working out. 🙂

As a result and through the years, she’s becoming one of my closest friends. In fact, we have grown a deep affinity and love for one another.😍

We have deep insights into each other’s lives as our classes have transitioned from grammar and vocabulary. Now, most of the time we catch up for an hour as friends. 

So nowadays, my language development is a bi-product of meaningful conversation.

This is coaching at its finest as Mara is a beautiful soul and an incredible relationship builder. I am deeply indebted and grateful to her.🙏

Now if you can believe, a few years ago she let me know that she enjoys our relationship so much, she would teach me for free.

While this is true, I politely declined.

I am sure you are thinking… 

Why turn down such an offer?!

Because I pay her for me.😀

Let me explain..

My business partner and founder of Fit Body, Bedros Keuilian told me this little secret about human nature over a decade ago. It didn’t make sense at the time but I do know 100% it’s true after coaching thousands of fitness and business clients for many years.👇

“People who pay, pay attention”, he said. 

The truth is that people who get the best results are the ones who pay. 

Because when you pay, an energy/accountability transfer happens. You then feel an internal tug to pay attention. As people disappoint themselves, but it’s more painful to disappoint someone else. 

A quicker and long-term result is the bi-product. 

So as much as Mara is one of my closest friends in life. If I stop paying her, the probability increases that I will stop paying attention which I will not let happen. 

Ultimately, I pay her for me.💥

So here is my message today for you. 

Invest and pay for whatever areas in life you need support in. If there is long-term value, happily pay for the coaching.💰 

Yes, that’s the right thing to do. In addition, it will be most impactful for YOU to keep you long-term committed.

After all, people who pay, pay attention!💯

Make it a great Monday!

Leadership Lesson: The #2 Law of Influence 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The #2 Law of Influence

I was inspired by last week’s Law of the Lid message. As I shared being it was reinforced by Rich Lohman on our Mastermind 3.0 Leadership Zoom training.

So looking ahead, we are going to spend the following weeks diving into the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership by John Maxwell who is 1 of the world’s top leadership experts.

The #2 Law of Influence 

Myth:

Leadership is not management, entrepreneurship, knowledge or position.

Fact:

The true measure of leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.

How do you develop your influence? 

There are many ways and here are a few areas of focus:

You can create influence by developing your character, relationships, knowledge, intuition, experience, success, & ability.

[MM]: 10 tips to improve your life.

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I hope you enjoyed Father’s Day weekend. 🔥

As June pushes forward, I cannot believe nearly 50% of the year is already gone.

How is everything going to date?

To create some value, I crafted a message with 10 things that can improve your life. 

They have really helped me and want the same for you.

So please review and consider implementing.👇

–

1. Move your body every day. The old saying is true. You either move it or lose it. So don’t lose it!

2. Limit your calories if you’re trying to lose weight. It’s a simple formula: Eat fewer calories than you use, and you will lose weight.

3. More water, fruits, and veggies. Less candy and chips. You know this, but are you doing it?

4. Hire a fitness coach….Everyone has blind spots, coaching helps shore those up. I hear good things about a place called “Fit Body” 😀

5. Tell your loved ones you love them more often. I have an ASANA reminder to send 1 gratitude/love message a day. It’s helped me connect and built stronger relationships. Highly recommend executing. 

6. Sleep well. Work hard and rest hard. You cannot live a good life if you are constantly sleep-deprived. Good sleep makes everything better. The opposite is true. 

7. Remember, exercise is the miracle drug. It’s good for your bones, muscles, balance, heart, breathing, mental health, and sleep.

8. Practice Gratitude. When you are grateful, it’s hard to be angry, anxious or upset. Your life is made up of the quality of emotions. Choose positive emotions and this will help.  

9. Reduce your Social Media & Netflix. Easier said than done. But go for a walk, a hike, or a workout. Get some fresh air. 

10. Stop watching the bad news! Mainstream media has 1 goal, grab your attention so advertisers will pay more money.  It’s not to inform you with accurate information. As the more they scare you, the more they grab your attention (human nature). Turn it off and watch your mental life improve!

Make it a great Monday!💪

Leadership Lesson: The #1 Law of Leadership

The Law of the Lid.

Leadership Expert, John Maxwell defines the ​Law of the Lid​ this way:

“L​eadership ability is the lid that determines a person’s level of effectiveness. The higher an individual’s ability to lead, the higher the lid on his potential.”

The opposite is also true.

The morale of the story?

Develop your leadership skills, increase your lid, & increase your potential.

[MM]: Avoid the Happiness Trap 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Avoid the Happiness Trap

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Last week Coach Tatiana and I went up to Monterey, California for a Spartan Race. It was a quick 36-hour trip and very successful. 🔥

In fact, Tatiana made a personal record time for herself. It was inspiring to see her success and I am very proud!

She also received an email from Joe DeSena, the CEO of Spartan prior to the race. It contained the positive message below. It inspired me so I wanted to pay it forward and do the same for you!✉️

–

“Spartan! 

I recently took a business trip overseas. Instead of pushing for an upgrade and high-end service, I proactively chose the worst experience — connecting flight, middle seat, back row, a sad pack of stale cookies, the bathroom door banging in my ear the entire way. 

Why? 

Because I believe our constant focus on comfort and ease — how we feel right now — leads to unhappiness. 

In short, we humans are wired to constantly raise the bar on what makes us happy, something scientists call the “hedonic treadmill.” 

We get stuck in a loop where we’re always grasping for something new, different, better in the hopes that now, finally, we will feel satisfied. 

The result? 

We don’t enjoy it now. The grind. A sense of entitlement creeps into all we do. So we click, swipe, and indulge ourselves in a never-ending search for fulfillment. 

After studying this topic for 40 years, I’ve learned that when we choose to live with less, let others go first, take the more challenging path, a new world opens up and we begin to appreciate life as it comes. 

It’s a simple but massive mindshift because it short-circuits our inherent striving nature. 

For example, when I arrived in Spain after that long day of airline travel, suddenly everything was better by comparison. The sun felt a bit warmer, the food more flavorful, and my bed was a comfortable relief from my cramped airline seat. 

I realized in that moment, that I was truly experiencing the emotion we too often overlook: Gratitude. I was grateful, and enjoyed the inevitable contentment that followed. 

Here’s to The Hard Way..

-Joe”

Make it a great Monday!💪

Leadership Lesson: It’s not about you 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: It’s not about you

Being a leader is not about you.

It never has.

It never will be.

Leadership is about creating value to those you serve.

To be a more effective leader..

Fight the self-serving urge.

Instead..

Redirect that urge to your people.

Like a muscle, it will get easier with time.

This is leadership.

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I received this recently from my good friend Mike Zakarian, who is a Franchise Business Coach and Owner of a Fit Body location.

It was a wonderful message and wanted to pass it along so you received the value!💥

–

“Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

In the computer science space, there’s a saying: Garbage in, garbage out.

It means that the quality of input = the quality of output.

I’m no computer science major but what I do know is that this is true in life and business! 

It’s simple…

Watch the news, and feel doom and gloom.

Hang with victims, feel like a victim.

Eat like crap, feel like crap.

You simply cannot show up as your best self with your family, team, and clients if you have garbage input.

If you want to change your life, it starts with controlling what you let into your mind! 

My challenge for you is to do an audit of all the input you’re taking everyday and make one change! 

Replace one thing with something positive and watch how much better you feel. 

Reply back with what input you’re changing!”

Leadership Lesson: Why Leadership is Hard 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Why Leadership is Hard

Leadership is hard because your job as the leader is to help people, not to make them happy.

Let me explain..

Think about parenting, aka leading your child.

Your child wants candy.

Your child wants to stay up late.

Your child does not want to wear clothes or bathe.

Your child wants total chaos whenever they want it.

Am I right?

But by letting them do want they want..

Yes, that will make them happy in the moment. 

But I believe you would agree..

That’s not being a good parent or leading them well.

So here’s the tough reality.

Leading is about helping people.

And when you help people, many times they don’t like..

At least, it was at first.

It’s only as the process unfolds where this becomes apparent.

This is why leadership is hard.

So remember..

It’s your job as a leader to HELP PEOPLE, not to make them happy.

Leadership Lesson: Good 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Good

Being a leader means leading oneself first and foremost. It takes a tough and stoic mindset.

Below is one of my favorite pieces of leadership advice from 1 of the world’s greatest leaders in Jocko Willink, retired Navy Seal and author of “Extreme Ownership”.

–

Jocko Willink “GOOD” (Official)

“When things are going bad, don’t get bummed out, don’t get startled, don’t get frustrated.

If you can say the word “Good”. 

Guess what?

It means you’re still alive.

It means you’re still breathing.

And if you’re still breathing.

Well then hell, you got some fight left in you.

So get up. 

Dust off. 

Reload.

Recalibrate.

Re-engage.

And go out on the ATTACK.”
