[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!

[MM]: This 1 thing will change your life

 

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!

[MM]: The 3 costs of leadership 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The 3 costs of leadership

Happy Monday Mindset!

Family! 🙌

I received the below note from my team in light of the World Conference.

The cost of leadership is grounded in truth.

I was humbled and grateful; but most importantly, it made me think of you.

Bryce,

According to Kirby Smart, University of Georgia (Bulldogs) Head Football Coach, there are 3 costs of leadership: 

  1. You will have to make hard decisions that negatively impact the people you care about.
  2. You will be disliked despite your best attempts to do the best for the most.
  3. You will be misunderstood and won’t always have the opportunity to defend yourself. 

Those are the costs we never asked you to incur, but you do so on our behalf daily. 

The brand and our HQ Team are better because of you… and we want to always be improving FOR you, too. 

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for making this year’s World Conference a priority, and thank you for being there for us! 

–

While it was sent to me, it was for you!

My friend, this is the cost of leadership.

It’s not easy nor for the faint of heart, but worth the impact you create.

Today message?

Leadership is required to create the income and impact you deserve.

So keep leading!

After all, your team, clients, and community are counting on you.

Have a great week!

Leadership Lesson: The 5 Answers 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The 5 Answers

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 first week’s question and answer.

1.) Bryce, the term leadership is a vague term often thrown around to indicate achievement, growth, status, etc. It’s something we know we need but not easily defined. What does leadership mean to you?

Leadership is influence, nothing more or less. 

If you can influence others, you can lead. 

Please note, most young leaders overlook that the first step of leadership is an “inside job”.

To influence others, you must first influence yourself through discipline and persistence. 

Therefore, my outlook on leadership is a focus on setting the standard and then being the standard through discipline and persistence.

No one has any factory-installed magical powers as a leader. 

However, the 1 thing I’ve learned is if I lead my life in a way that’s standard in all aspects of life.

This influences others to do the same.

The great John Maxwell calls this leading life with “Morale Authority”.

In leadership, it’s a useful tool to influence.

Simple, not easy!

Leadership Lesson: A Leader Is Curious 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: A Leader Is Curious

Most leadership skills are developed.

A rare few are factory-installed.

One of my rare superpowers as a leader is my curiosity about people.

I feel lucky because, for me, it’s factory-installed.

I find humans fascinating and am curious almost to a fault. 

But when you lead people, curiosity is a good thing.

Why?

Well, the truth is that people want to be valued.

They want to share and feel appreciated.

This is ingrained in human nature.

So when you get into a state of curiosity and ask questions about them.

It connects with people and makes them feel valued.

The best part?

You learn not only about a person, but it gives you an incredible life perspective. 

2 important things to lead.

My message is today is if you want to a better leader.

Ask questions, learn about people’s upbringing, childhood, background, family, and beliefs.

Be more curious!

When you do, watch your leadership explode.

[MM]: This prayer changed my life. 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: This prayer changed my life.

Happy Monday Mindset!

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.”

I am a recovering alcoholic. 

In December of 2016, it became apparent I needed a change after experiencing one of the worst moments of my life.

It wasn’t easy.

But I decided to enroll into a 12 step meeting and will never forget the experience. 

It was a Monday evening and I was terrified to walk through the door.

In some ways I didn’t want to, but in many ways I knew needed to.

When the meeting adjourned, the prayer known as the “Serenity Prayer” was said as a group.

It hasn’t left me till this day as I hear it every Monday night.

Its changed my life. 

Why?

There’s such beauty and simplicity in the prayer.

You see in life, there’s many things you cannot change.

Accept them and move forward.

This will release frustration. 

However, there’s many things you need to change and have the ability.

For these, change them now with no delay.

This will release guilt, and create clarity & freedom. 

With time, life experience and a conscious pursuit of wisdom, my hope for us both is that we will be able to tell the difference with more clarity.

Have a great week!

Tuesday Leadership Lesson 150 150 Bryce Henson

Tuesday Leadership Lesson

As a leader, you will encounter problems.

Lots of them.

In fact, the stronger the problem solver, the stronger the leader.

This a simple truth that’s many times overlooked.

The very reason a leader is in place is to be the solution to the onslaught of problems your team or organization faces.

If there are no problems, there’s no need to lead.

So today’s message is this.

Next time you get overwhelmed or frustrated with professional problems.

Remember the very reason you get paid is to solve them.

This is your value.

Now go be the solution.

This is leadership.

[MM]: Learn this from the person you hate 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Learn this from the person you hate

Happy Monday Mindset!

Years ago, I listened to a podcast episode by Tim Ferris who is a New York Times Best Selling Author and renowned “Bio Hacker”.

He went on to say that one of the biggest breakthroughs in his life was when he made the active decision to re-frame his anger toward the people that “he hated” by asking himself this question..

“What can I learn from this person?”

Now why would he do this?

Tim believed it creates a liberating mental experience and a source of value from his enemies.

My take?

He is right!

That podcast episode changed my life as I have applied it many times through hard situations.

As a result, I’ve won and want you too. 🙂

A recent example is from 2 weeks ago during my keynote talk to my 525+ Franchise Partners and coaches within the Fit Body brand at our World Conference.

The story of my talk?

The infamous Coach Jim Harbough and the University of Michigan Wolverines winning the 2024 National Championship in college football.

You see, being a Michigan State grad, University of Michigan is my rival.

As you would imagine, it was tough seeing them win a national championship in January of this year.

I don’t like Jim Harbough and wasn’t happy!

The kicker?

I took a step back and studied Jim’s 10 year career as head coach for the University of Michigan.

It led me to uncovering 3 principles on how he led his football program which I’ve now applied to my leadership at Fit Body Boot Camp.

I then went on stage in front of 525+ people and shared insights from their winning seasons and the lessons I learned from the experience.

Most importantly, how the lessons will benefit you, our team, coaches and community.

The result?

My owners and coaches and I just got better from an experience that “I despised”.

The best part?

I feel amazing about it while adding value to my brand!

My message for you today?

The reality is that in life you are going to LOVE a lot of people.

I hope most people for that matter! 

However, there’s some that you won’t vibe with, or even worse, you will despise.

This is just life my friend.

Instead of getting angry, frustrated and filled with negative energy stewing on someone who’s crossed you.

Create a mental re-frame and ask yourself this:

“What is 1 thing I can learn from this person?” 

Then apply the lesson to your life.

Life changer!

Have a great week!
