[MM]: This 1 thing changed the game 150 150 Bryce Henson

[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.
[MM]: Why you must be challenged 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Why you must be challenged

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌


Here’s the truth about human nature.

Just like an electrical current.

Humans take the path of least resistance.

Need proof?

Go to the airport or shopping mall and observe the escalator vs. the stairs.

99% of humans will take the easier path of an escalator.

We are just wired this way.

The good news?

The opposite is also true.

When humans are put in situations where we have “to sink or swim”.

We rise to the occasion and swim.

This is why to progress, we must be challenged.

To illustrate my point further.

I’ll leave you with the famous words of Bruce Lee which is my message today. 

“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”

This is a great prayer. 

Your action should be one of self-challenge which will provide you strength. 

Have a great week!

Leadership Lesson: The 3rd Answer 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The 3rd 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 3rd week’s question and answer.

3.) What does “delegate and elevate” a company means, and why is this process crucial for taking a business to the next level of scale?

As a leader, you need to delegate work that needs to be executed. This way, you can lead, market, and sell which are your highest priorities. 

With this in mind, leadership requires you to work both in and on your business to drive success. 

There’s a misconception that it’s one or the other which is false.

The truth is that you need to work on both aspects to ensure you steer the ship to your target while having insights that allow you to make good navigation decisions.

Here’s the breakdown:

In the business:

You must dive into the weeds sometimes. This way, you have context and proximity to necessary information. This approach will enable you to provide better guidance to your teammates. 

On the business:

You also need to work at your pay grade and ensure you have people who have situational authority are given space to execute.

This empowers your team, allows for decisions to be made closest to the information. The result is that this approach creates better decisions and frees you up to focus on the few levers that open big doors for company growth. 

The value of EOS in executing your off-site Annual and Quarterly meetings.

Every quarter we step away and work on the business to steer the ship while executing the daily action steps needed to grow.

The desired outcome is that you delegate and elevate your business to success!

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌 

This past weekend I spent in Scottsdale, AZ at the BK Live event. 

What’s BK Live?

It’s a business development & personal growth event hosted by my business partner and Founder of Fit Body Boot Camp, Bedros Keuilian.

I was there because Bedros asked me to give a keynote to teach leadership and delegation. 

While I have many weaknesses.

This is my zone of genius so was excited to add value to the business owners and fitness professionals in attendance.

I put together a 6-point framework to help the business owners level up their leadership & delegation skills.

The truth is that I’ve learned from trial and error over the last 12 years as a business leader.

Many good decisions, but my fair share of bad ones which are learning lessons that I can provide to help other leaders.

While I was able to share 5 tactics that the audience can apply as of today.

The 1st foundational leadership principle I taught is self-leadership through dialing in your fitness.

After all, before you can lead your family or a business empire; you need to lead you. In dialing in your fitness, you exercise the ultimate form of self-leadership.

And what I’ve learned in leadership, a big part of it is demonstrating the behaviors you want to see in your team.

This is why I love and have built a career in helping you and others with their fitness.

Fitness is the foundation of a better life and your ability to be a better leader.

So my message today is this.

Whether you want to become a better leader for your company, your community, your family, your kids, or even just you. 

Get fit and stay fit. 

Yes, dial in your fitness! 

When you do.

You develop discipline, create more self-confidence, and will become the leader you, your family, and our community need.

Have a great week!

Leadership Lesson: The 2nd Answer 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The 2nd 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 2nd week’s question and answer.

2.) How important is self-leadership for every aspect of your life?

Leadership is not about you, but it starts with you.

Here are the 3 pillars of the leadership framework:

  • Lead yourself
  • Lead your family
  • Lead your empire

Self-leadership is at the foundation of leading your life, your team, and your empire. 

Taking a step back, there’s a leadership deficit in our world and you can see it 1) physically and 2) emotionally in society’s physical and mental state.

  • People’s Fitness – 80% of our population is obese or overweight
  • Victim mindset and the blame game are prevalent 

This leadership deficit is easy to see. 

This is why leadership is needed and valuable.

When you learn to lead through intentionality and discipline, your leadership and life will explode.

After all.

Leadership is not about you, but it starts with you.

Now go lead!
