Do you Labor? 150 150 Bryce Henson

Do you Labor?

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Today is Labor Day here in the states.🇺🇸

I did some research on the origin and this is what came up on Wikipedia..

“Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.The three-day weekend it falls on is called Labor Day Weekend.”

While I believe this is a noble cause.✨

I do have some concerns.

Speaking freely..

I see a lot of entitlement & resistance to labor in our country as of late.

Now regardless of the root cause on a macro level..

My mindset message today is intended to make you think and inspire you on a micro level..

So it’s time to take moral inventory.💥

I challenge you to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, whole heartedly..

Do you labor?

What I mean this is..

  • Do you give it your all every day?
  • Are you active in your fitness?
  • Are you challenging yourself to grow in your fitness, family and finances to achieve the best version of you every single day?

Time is fleeting.⌛️

If your answer is no, let this day be a good wake up call to step your fitness, family and finances game. As the time is NOW!

If your answer is yes, enjoy some well deserved time off with your loves ones, and then get ready to attack your week ahead!💪

As rest is important, but AFTER the labor and never before.

Happy Labor Day!🎉

PS I am excited to announce our 8 Week Fall Challenge which starts Monday September 18. I will send registration info on Wednesday so stay tuned!

Leadership Lesson: Why I Study Leadership 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Why I Study Leadership

At my core, I love people way more than other aspects of business.

Actually, it’s not even close.  

In fact, I believe the best leaders in the world have a deep love for people at their foundation.

As leadership (and people) are both very difficult. Very difficult. So you have to genuinely have a love for them, otherwise it’s too much.

And while this is at the foundation of strong leadership, that alone is not enough.

So I wanted to share another driver for me in the spirit of being vulnerable and raw with you.

Aside from loving people and seeing the incredible value of aligning people towards a common goal. 

Which ultimately is just what leadership is..

I’ve also learned that leading by example, which is referred to as the “Morale Authority”, is the most influential way to lead.

The hard part?

At my core, I’m far from perfect. 

In fact, I have many many flaws. Being an addict is 1 of the most severe. 

I’ve been addicted to drugs & alcohol just to name a few. These are all very selfish and not selfish endeavors. 

I wish it wasn’t so, but this is my ugly truth.

However, I’ve also learned through both life and my Stoic Philosophy, you can turn your biggest weakness into your biggest strength.

As left to my own devices with my selfish addiction, I could easily be on the streets & homeless in the most severe circumstances.

Sounds extreme, but it’s true. 

In fact, every time I see a homeless addict, I see a vision for what my life could easily become if I don’t focus on serving others.

I am the German Shepherd Bedros refers to.

However, the thing that keeps me grounded is my desire to add value to you, our team, owners and clients.

As if every day I strive to be a better leader for myself and others. This way, I can use this accountability to redirect my darkness to the light. 

So in the most selfless and selfish ways, my love for people and serving you, keeps me clean of alcohol, my biggest Kryptonite 24 hours at a time since December 2016.

My leadership message today?

Turn whatever is your weakness or lowest moment in your life, into a positive and for battling cry in the service other people. 

When you do this, your leadership grows and your following wins.

The Study of Human Nature 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Study of Human Nature

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I wanted to share a story from last week that I shared with my fellow Fit Body Franchise Partners being we are in the people business.

Why is this important to you?🤔

Whether you work in the service industry or not. 

You surely interact with people everyday. 

So it is very important to study human nature. This way you can interact more successfully which will aid you in many aspects of your daily life. 

If you get value, please share with a friend! 🙂

–

Straight from the World Conference, I boarded a flight from Dallas to Poland. I grew up with Polish heritage in that my grandma was 1st generation.🇵🇱

Her parents escaped the Communist/Socialist regime prior to World War 1. They ended up making it to Detroit, Michigan when Henry Ford opened his manufacturing plants in the early 1900’s. 

This is why I am so patriotic and grateful for their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

And while these are my roots..

Ironically, I took a visit due to my wife Coach Tatiana’s family.  As my brother-in-law Luiz moved to Poland from Florianopolis, Brazil last year for his work.🇧🇷

Luiz’s grandma is the one who helped Tatiana, him and I to acquire our Portuguese Citizenship a few years ago, which technically makes us both Portuguese. Although I suppose that is a story for another day…

Anyway, on one of the evening tours.. 

I walked in a street market with Luiz and we saw a Portuguese food truck amongst many other options.🇵🇹

They had a very famous Brazilian soft drink displayed, so we walked up to the counter and tried to order. The man behind the counter addressed us in Polish which neither of us understood. 

After he realized his message didn’t land..

He then turned and spoke Portuguese to his colleague behind the counter asking him if he could take our order in English..

When I heard Portuguese, I immediately asked him if he was Brazilian in Brazilian Portuguese. 

As I made out a few words even though it was very loud and I couldn’t make out his accent from 1 sentence. 

He replied in Portuguese..  

“No, I am from Portugal.”

He then returned the question and I replied.. 

“Well, I am American and my brother-in-law is Brazilian”.

I paused for a second and then added..

“But come to think of it, we are all Portuguese”.

The metaphor and moral of the story is this..

Even though people have big differences in culture, language and customs. In this case, all 3 of us grew up in different countries, continents, and cultures for that matter.

Deep down as humans, we are all the same.✨

We all have the same instincts, desires, and fears. And we are all doing the best we can with what we have.👊

This is why it’s so important we understand & forever study human nature to the core being we are in the people business.💯

Leadership Lesson: 2 Areas of Focus 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: 2 Areas of Focus

Leadership is hard. 

Very hard.

Why?

Well, many reasons.

But when you break it down..

People have their individual thoughts, motives, beliefs and desires.

So in order to lead others..

You have to align their desires with the goal of your mission.

This takes plenty of perspective & situational awareness among other skills.

Within this framework, here are 2 areas of focus to level up your leadership.

  1. Outwardly Focus. You must consistently seek perspective and ensure you align your team’s desires (what’s in it for THEM) with both new initiatives & the overall mission. 
  2. Inwardly Focus. You must be able to lead yourself with strict discipline. As your team will only follow your leadership if they see undeniable proof of your ability to lead YOU! This is extremely difficult but creates significant influence in leading others. 

Now go forth and conquer. 

The “Good” Mindset (How to overcome any obstacle) 150 150 Bryce Henson

The “Good” Mindset (How to overcome any obstacle)

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I am still buzzing on our incredible World Conference event last week.. 💪

As I reflect, it reminded me of 1 of our keynote speakers for 2019’s event who was also spectacular. 

His name is Jocko Willink.🔥

He is a retired US Navy Seal, best-selling author of “Extreme Ownership” and leadership expert.

He has an iron-clad mindset and produced this 2-minute video below as a framework on how he shifts his mindset and that of us his team to overcome any challenge.👊

I refer to it at least a handful of times every year to help me when things get tough.

So if you are going through a tough situation now.

Or next time you do..

I trust it will aid you on your journey so you can handle all that life throws at you. And if it helps, my only ask is to pay it forward by sharing. 🙂

World Conference Recap 150 150 Bryce Henson

World Conference Recap

Happy Monday Mindset!🔥

This weekend was nothing short of INCREDIBLE!💪

475 attendees traveled from across North America to Dallas, Texas for 3 days.🌟

The mission was simple.

Pour into our Fit Body Franchise Partners, Leaders and Coaches. This way, they could return to their local locations and pour into their clients and communities. 

Mission Accomplished!🙌

What’s even better?

Seeing our Mission Viejo team teach and support our attendees. All while having the opportunity to learn and grow from other presenters and coaches.👊 

Here at Fit Body, we call this “ironing sharpening iron” which is also how our clients get in such great shape with the coaching & community of our program.🚀

In reflection of our event, today’s message is this:

If you want to be successful in any aspect of your life. Whether that’s fitness, family, professional or anything else. 

The best way is to seek out guidance from someone who has already achieved the goal you are after. Then surround yourself with positive people who will lift you up, support you, and challenge you to become even better!⚡️

When you do, you will grow and achieve your target!💥

Leadership Lesson: The Separation is in the Preparation 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The Separation is in the Preparation

I was chatting with my good friend and Portuguese teacher Mara last week about this year’s World Conference. 

More specifically, on how excited I am for our Franchise Partners, coaches, team and brand! And that we have the biggest WC in recent history with 467 people registered including HQ team and vendors. 

She asked me if I was nervous about the event and speaking in front of so many people.

My answer?

Absolutely!  Always am and always will be as that’s a sign of focus and care.

That said, the Conference or “game” as I referred to it, will already be won or lost before my HQ team arrives in Dallas. 

As at that point, we are just executing against our preparation. As there will be no miracles one way or the other.

In fact, how we prepare is how we execute.  

This is the bottom line. 

This is the same analogy for our locations when the doors open to welcome clients. The session has already been won or lost in advance by the teams alignment and preparation.

The good news?

We have been prepping for months and when game time arrives on Friday, execution will match. 

As leadership understands the concept that the separation is ALWAYS in the preparation.

Let’s go!!

The Separation is in the Preparation 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Separation is in the Preparation

Happy Monday!🙌

I was chatting with my good friend Mara last week about this year’s World Conference.

In case you need clarity..

The Fit Body World Conference (WC) is our annual convention for our Franchise Partners and coaches to learn and grow.  This way, our clients receive an even better experience and results here at Fit Body!💪

This year’s conference is hosted in Dallas, Texas this Friday/Saturday, August 11/12!🌟

In conversation, I shared with Mara how excited I am for our Franchise Partners, coaches, team, clients and brand! 

There’s also a special bonus this year..

Our Mission Viejo team will be leading the works outs & speaking on a panel to help coach other coaches throughout North America. This is extra significant as we have the biggest WC in recent history with 467 people registered!💥

Mara then asked me if I was nervous about the event and speaking in front of nearly 500 people.

My answer?

Absolutely!  

Always am and always will be as that’s a sign of focus and care!✨

That said, the Conference or “game” as I referred to it, will already be won or lost long before my team & I arrive in Dallas. 

As at that point, we are just executing against our preparation. As there will be no miracles one way or the other.

As how we prepare is how we execute. 👊 

This is the bottom line. 

This is the same for your health in fitness as you journey through life!

You see..

Next time a disease or virus hits your system.. 

Your level of resiliency will depend on your preparation towards your health and fitness game long before the attack on your immune system!

If you have prepared your fitness, it will be much easier to manage. The opposite is also true.

The good news?

My team and I have been prepping for months and when game time arrives on Friday, execution will match. This way our people get a GREAT experience which trickles down to support our clients!🙏

This is also what I want for you with your health and fitness which is my message today!

If you need help with your fitness preparation, please lean on my team and I!💪

Make it a GREAT Monday!🙌

Leadership Lesson: 4 Lessons from my 4 Decades 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: 4 Lessons from my 4 Decades

In recent weeks, I have covered the first 7 John Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. 

We will reconvene with the list on September 5, being that variety is also a good thing. So in the next few weeks, we will go off script and explore other leadership ideas. 

Specific to today, I’m reflecting on yesterday. I still can barely believe I turned 4 decades young.

That’s right, the big 4-0.  

It sounds way older on paper and especially much different than I thought 40 would “feel” when I got here. I suppose it is a good thing. 🙂

As I reflect, here are 4 leadership lessons for each of my 4 decades on planet earth.

  • Leadership is a skill that can be developed. It’s not factory installed in any of us. The good news? This means you have the ability to develop & enhance your leadership ability. 
  • If you want to become a better leader, the most important word is.. “Ownership”.
  • Leadership is messy. It’s hard, really hard. But everything rises and falls on it. So a skill worth learning. If not for anyone else, but to ensure you can lead yourself. 
  • The more I learn about leadership, the more I realize how little I know..

I trust you got value. Now here is to the next 4 decades ahead of us!
