[MM] the hidden vs. real costs 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM] the hidden vs. real costs

Happy Monday!

I received the below mindset message from Bedros Keuilian.

He is my business partner and Founder of Fit Body.

It hit home around the hidden vs. real costs around your health and fitness.

I trust you will get value as I did so wanted to share to kick-start your week!👇

–

The hidden costs are always higher than the obvious costs.

Let me speak to you from my experience…

When I was growing my business and in the “thick of it” I started slacking off on my workouts and diet.

Basically, I used as much of my time to work on my growing business, and then when I was stressed out I’d “stress eat”.

It didn’t take long for me to add 30 pounds of fat to my body.

Now, logically I knew this was not good for my health.❌

But I rationalized it by telling myself that I’d start working out more consistently and eating better once my business was rocking.

Truth be told, I was making excuses.💯

The logical cost of letting myself get fat was putting my health at risk.

But the real cost was sliding into a depression.😭

The real cost was the constant anxiety I had.

The real cost was the feeling like an imposter and hypocrite.

The real cost was eroding my confidence.

The real cost was being a poor example to my kids.

My friend, there are so many hidden costs to being out of shape and letting your health suffer.

The truth is I was making excuses.🎯

I could have made the time to still workout hard and eat right, but I choose to take the easy way out.

NO MORE!🙌

As humans, we can’t lie to ourselves.

We have to set higher standards and hold ourselves to them.

Let’s make it a great week!💪

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #4 150 150 Bryce Henson

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #4

This week is Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #4

Don’t forget the fundamentals. This can be lost in the rush to prepare.

In sports and business, true professionals and very successful organizations are the ones that master the fundamentals. 

In fact, success is boring. 

The truth is human nature is easily distracted by shiny objects.

I have definitely been there and know you have too.

Instead of always searching for something on the distant horizon…

Look internally. Bring it down to the basics of the fundamentals of your role.  Master them. Success is boring. 

This is also what we teach our owners:

Stop trying to be everything to everyone! Instead, get laser-focused on being the best high-energy fitness and fat-loss program in the world!

If we can continue to Master the fundamentals and watch our brand continue to grow!

[MM] The power of giving

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Last week I shared a national press release that featured Fit Bod Boot Camp’s Guinness Book of World Records attempt.💥

And while that was a worthy attempt at greatness…

The real goal was to raise $250,000 for underprivileged children in the communities we serve.  

I received many, many replies that the message created perspective and inspiration which was a goal. 

In reflection of the outpouring of responses..

The reality is this..

  • When you give back, you feel better. 
  • When you take care of your health & fitness, you can serve your family and community. 
  • When you serve, you have more life fulfillment. 

Today’s message?👇

My friend, take care of yourself. 

Invest in your health and fitness. Empower yourself to give freely and support others often and without expectation..

When you do, you will be blessed!🙏

Let’s make it a great week!💥

-Coach Bryce

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #3 150 150 Bryce Henson

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #3

This week is Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #3

Get out of yourself and into the team.  Coach Saban wants his players to rise above their own selfishness and ambitions and dissolve themselves into the team.

In the study of human nature, humans default to acting in their own self-interest. This is a bi-product of evolution. 

And while there can be many points of value in that.

Long term and if you want to accomplish a BIG GOAL, you have to focus on the team and not yourself.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Another way to look at that is to play work on yourself to look for the long-game perspective. 

As the long game, eventually becomes the short game, quicker than you would like.

Not convinced?

Have a chat with anyone over the age of 60 and ask their perception of time’s speed and the value of a long-game perspective.

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #2 150 150 Bryce Henson

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #2

Success leaves clues. Like within our franchise system, most times there’s not a need to reinvent the wheel.

Instead, look for success at the highest of levels and model it. 

That’s the formula I have used for any success I have achieved to date. And one that I encourage you to do the same.

 Recently, Steven Hadley sent me the recently published “The Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban.” 

If you are not familiar, Saban is the undisputed best college football coach in history. 

It’s an incredible read with some big takeaways from one of the best leaders in history. In the book, there are 11 leadership lessons Saban runs his program by. ‘’

This week is Nick Saban’s Leadership Lesson #2..

Everything you do, you do to the team.  This speaks to personal responsibility and accountability.

Ultimately, we rise and fall as a team. 

When 1 of us wins, we all do. 

When 1 of us loses, we all do.

We are a team unit and rise and fall together.

This is teamwork which is the foundation for leadership.

[MM] A story on positiv e thinking 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM] A story on positiv e thinking

I received this story from my better half Tatiana last week.

I got a lot of value so wanted to pass it along to inspire you to get your week started in a positive fashion!

Please read it 2x to let it sync in and share it with someone in need!

–

Three men set out on a journey.

Each one carried two sacks. One around their necks and one on their back.

The first man was asked what was in his sacks..

 “I carry all the kinds of deeds of my friends. By doing so, they are out of sight and out of mind, and I don’t have to do anything about them. They’re soon forgotten. 

This sack in front carries all the unkind things people do to me. I pause in my journey every day and take these out to study. It slows me down, but nobody gets away with anything.”

The second man said he keeps his own good deeds in his front sack.

“ I constantly keep them before me,” he said.

“It gives me pleasure to see them.”

“The sack on your back seems heavy, what is in it?,” someone remarked to the second traveler.

“That’s where I carry my mistakes,” said the second man. “I always keep them on my back.”

The third man was asked what he keeps in his sacks. “I carry my friends’ kind deeds in this front sack,” he said.

“It looks full. It must be heavy,” said an observer.

“No,” said the third man, “it’s big but not heavy. Far from being a burden, it is like the sails of a ship. It helps me move ahead.”

The observer added, “I notice that the sack behind you has a hole in the bottom. It seems empty and of very little use.”

The third man replied..

“That’s where I put all the evil I hear from others. It just falls out and is lost, so I have no weight to impede me.”

This is a good story for your health, fitness, and life!

Let’s make it a great week!

Lesson 1. There is no “I” in the team. But there is an “I” in win.

Coach Saban preaches individual responsibility.  His teams perform their best when individuals put the group first and do what is best for the team.

[MM] Rest at the end, not in the middle…. 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM] Rest at the end, not in the middle….

This past weekend was special as my brother Barrett and I took the opportunity and spent Saturday afternoon with some brother bonding time.

We had a good deep chat about business and life.

We also watched some sports. 

In fact, it was a crazy weekend for football with some fun games and big upsets! I still cannot believe Tennessee overtook the Crimson Tide from Alabama.

And while the mid-season weekend was fun, I was also reminded of the late Kobe Bryant.

I was a huge fan and loved his famous quote “Rest at the end, not in the middle”.

Why is this significant?

That’s where we are my friend, in the middle!!

The middle of the Fall Challenge, the middle of the football season, the middle of life, the middle of greatness.

Yes, I know you are busy and sometimes life can feel overwhelming.

It definitely does for me at times too.

But just as Kobe said, “keep going as you can rest at the end, but not in the middle!”

Let’s make it a great week!

Leadership is influence. Nothing more or less. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership is influence. Nothing more or less.

Last week I had one of my followers on the Gram tell me I was an idiot on a post I made about citing Adolf Hitler’s strong leadership skills. 

He went on to tell me how Hitler was a horrible person so couldn’t be a good leader. Stating that he didn’t get any electoral votes citing government beauracity and positional authority.

While I agree with his facts on the lack of democracy. I also agree that clearly, Hiter was a HORRIBLE person.

But he missed the point on what leadership actually is. 

Yes, Hitler was a HORRIBLE person but a great leader.

Leadership is influence. 

Nothing more or less.

If you have influence, you have leadership.

And clearly he had it.

Taking it a step deeper into the rabbit hole..

Leadership is actually neutral. 

It is just a tool that can be used for the good and bad.

So my message today is to arm yourself with leadership skills. 

And then use them for good to HELP and NOT hurt others!
