[MM]: 8+ years alcohol-free

Happy Monday Mindset!

I hope your 2025 is off to a great start.

I just back from a 12-day trip to Brazil to spend Christmas and New Year with my wife Tatiana’s family. 

During the trip, I was there to make good on a promise I made Tatiana’s mom 12 years ago.

I also celebrated a milestone of 8 years of being alcohol-free.

Here’s a little backstory:

For a long time, it was tough to see I had a problem with alcohol. 

I was never a daily drinker. 

In fact, my drinking became less frequent through my early 30’s.

However, the 2nd truth is it became more aggressive on the times I did drink about a handful of times per month.

For me, when I start, I cannot stop as a craving for more develops.  

This is the same craving that sugar induces for most people.

 The problem?

I didn’t understand the craving from my biochemistry made me drink differently than most people.

I was blind to this fact. 

As a result, I had bad experiences due to overdrinking that drew on my relationships and self-confidence.

The straw that broke the camel’s back?

It was seeing a loved one with the same problem’s life come in distress.

After a mountain of personal, relational, and legal issues, it became apparent this was a serious issue needing resolving.

My advice was to stop drinking completely and seek help.

Good advice.

However, I realized the cold hard truth that this was advice I needed to take myself. 

The realization of being a hypocritic was painful enough that it got me to stop drinking and seek help.

This is my message today.

We all have our cross to bear. 

Mine is alcohol.

Yours might be sugar, porn, or gambling to name a few.

Whatever your coping mechanism.

Realize this truth:

There are many people out there who have solved the problem you might be currently going through.

The 2nd truth:

They want to help.

You just must go through enough pain, have the desire, and then dig up all the strength and humility to seek it.

No, it won’t be easy.

Yes, you can make a change.

The best part?

When you do, your life will change just like mine did 8 years ago last week. 

If I can be of service, I’m here cheering you on.

Just reply.

 Happy Monday and let’s go 2025!

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Reflect 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leaders Reflect

When driving your car, most of the time you need to be looking at what’s ahead.

This is important to ensure you arrive at the desired destination.

However, at times, you need to use your rearview mirror.

It’s there for a reason.

This provides a moment of reflection to check blind spots as you navigate forward.

This is the same with leadership.

Most times you need to look at what’s in front of you.

In fact, this is where the majority of your leadership time should be spent.

However, there are times when it’s needed to step back, reflect, and assess your blind spots.

We all have them.

By doing both, it will increase the probability you arrive at your destination safely and effectively. 

So my leadership message today as 2024 winds down is to look ahead to 2025.

Create your plan and cast your vision.

However, don’t forget to take some time this week to reflect on the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2024.

This will give you a better perspective & vision to navigate the new year safely and effectively.

After all, leaders reflect.

[MM]: Make a promise, keep a promise (Brazil) 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Make a promise, keep a promise (Brazil)

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

Live from Rio De Janeiro Brazil having arrived yesterday.

Why?

To make good on a promise I made my mother-in-law Cristina back in 2012.

The promise?

To bring her daughter home for Christmas after sweeping her away from her Brazilian home after living there from 2010-2012.

Looking back, it’s been a 12-year sprint of keeping that promise.

Of course, there are other big benefits of making the journey including gaining access to perspective and my Brazilian family.

Travel gives you perspective and develops leadership ability.

I buy into the adage.

“Perspective is Leadership and Leadership is Perspective”.

So this annual ritual makes me a better leader.

Looking ahead to this special week.

My main message is to be a person of your word.

When you make a promise, keep a promise.

No matter the challenge or inconvenience. 

Not only does this create more credibility with others. 

It creates more self credibility.

The best part?

Self-credibility is the foundation of self-confidence.

This is your success formula!

Merry Christmas!

Leadership Lesson: If someone doesn’t want to be you, they will never follow you. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: If someone doesn’t want to be you, they will never follow you.

Let me explain.

Leadership is a game of attraction, not promotion.

It’s an inside game.

Meaning, you need to do the ongoing internal work to become a better and more enlightened human being.

This is a lifelong pursuit.

Why?

If someone doesn’t want to be you, they will never follow you.

This is at the foundation of long-term leadership.

The lesson today?

The best leadership hack is to build the person you want to follow and then demonstrate that person to the world.

[MM]: Big things start small (194,000 item donation)

 

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

Back in 2021, my friend and franchise partner CJ, who has a heart of gold, came to me and our HQ team with an idea.

“Bryce, we do such great work here at Fit Body helping our clients with their fitness and fat loss goals, but know we can do even more! 

As we know, Thanksgiving is an amazing time but can be tough for those in need. What if we create a giant food drive with all of the brand participating to help out the less fortunate and make a massive impact together?

He then began to draw out a plan on a whiteboard and finished his pitch with this:

“If we execute well, I think we can raise over 100,000 food items together”.

Well, on CJ’s and his teams back, we launched the vision in 2022 and we called it the Fit Body Food Battle.

It was a small start but we started.

Fast forward a few years, and our 3rd Annual Fit Body Food Battle results are in as of last week. 

The good news?

We beat last year’s tally coming in at 194,200 food items donated as a brand. 

That’s right, this little vision produced 194,200 food items of donation to help the less fortunate!

What’s even better?

Friends and Franchise Partners Abe and Danika from North Meridian Fit Body in Idaho took 1st place with 30,899 items donated. 

We are grateful for the massive contribution!

Looking ahead to 2025, with your help, we know can do better though with our target of donating over ¼ million mark.

Today’s message?

Big things start small. So get to starting!

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: We All Yearn 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: We All Yearn

One truth I’ve learned about leadership over the years.

Deep down, we all yearn for a strong leader.

Someone to:

  • Guide us
  • Mentor us
  • Speak vision to us
  • Be our cheerleader
  • Hold us accountable
  • Create a roadmap
  • Demonstrate success
  • Show us the way

This is a factory installed in all of us humans.

The lesson today?

The first step in leadership is to be a follower.

To find someone to lead who can provide you with the above roadmap and more.

The next step is to then begin to lead ourselves.

Then once we are able to lead ourselves, those called have a duty, obligation, and responsibility to become the leader to others that we all yearn for.

Now go forth and lead; even if it’s just you!

[MM]: God is an Amazing Personal Trainer

 

Happy Monday Mindset! 🙌

This past weekend was fulfilling as my business partners, Bedros, Jay Redman and I put on a Legacy Tribe Meet-Up event.

Legacy Tribe is a stand-alone business development coaching program. It is also a program that introduces entrepreneurs to our Fit Body Boot Camp ownership opportunity.

Saturday’s meet-up was an action-packed day of presentations.

It was a great way to connect, learn, and share leadership business development strategies to grow the group’s income, impact, and legacy.

Bedros, founder of Fit Body, gave a great keynote on happiness and 1 thing he said struck me.

“God is an Amazing Personal Trainer.”

I was confused at first.

However,  it made sense once he elaborated. 

Most time people pray to God asking for success and strength to push through the hard things that life can bring.

But here’s the issue.

Upon asking for strength, many times as humans we are surprised & confused at the resistance he puts in our way as a response.

B’s question was to ask yourself this:

Should you really be surprised?

Think about it. 

If you were to ask your trainer for more strength, a leaner physique, visible abs, and bigger biceps.

Guess what?

Any good personal trainer is going to put weight, and resistance into your program; and not comfort (sugar, pizza, desserts) in your way.

After all, resistance is how we get stronger in the gym and in life.

My message today?

Adversity & resistance are your advantages.

Take the weight God puts in your way and use it to become stronger so that you can create more income, impact, and legacy!

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Elusive 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Leadership is Elusive

Leadership is Elusive.

It’s a lifelong pursuit.

Just when you think you have it, you realize you don’t.

Just when you think it’s impossible, you realize it’s attainable. 

The truth is this:

Sometimes you are ahead.

Sometimes you’re behind.

The race is long.

However, no matter where you are in the moment on your leadership journey. 

Continuing to acquire leadership skills is a worthwhile pursuit.

At the very least, to be a leader of self which humanity needs right now and always will.

So keep your head up, and keep going.

People are counting on you.

Onward!
