Leadership Lesson: #14 The ​Law of Buy-In​ 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: #14 The ​Law of Buy-In​

The ​Law of Buy-In​ says, “​People buy into the leader, then the vision. ​” 

Maxwell writes, “​many people who approach the area of vision in leadership have it all backward. 

They believe that if the cause is good enough, people will automatically buy into it and follow.

That’s a false belief, as you must remember.

“​People buy into the leader, then the vision. ​” 

In fact, every message that people receive is filtered through the messenger who delivers it. If you consider the messenger to be credible, then you believe the message has value.

This is why celebrity endorsements are so successful. 

If people trust the celebrity, they’ll buy what they are selling.

To put a bow on this point:

If people buy into both the leader and the vision, they’ll get behind the leader. When they buy into the leader but not the vision, you’ll need a new vision, but it’s not the end of the world.

This is the power of LEADERSHIP.

This is the power of the LAW OF BUY-IN.

Your message today:

Continue to invest in developing your leadership skills.

When you do, you will create more buy in and success for the company and in all aspects of your life.

Leadership Lesson: #13 The Law of The Picture 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: #13 The Law of The Picture

Maxwell describes the Law of the Picture: 

“When leaders show the way with the right actions, their followers model them and succeed.” 

Yes, that’s right.

A leader’s job is to create a picture which serves as a model for their team. 

Although there’s a dichotomy in this.

As at the same time..

The leader cannot lose sight of the practicality of the moment and what it takes on a daily basis to get there.

This is also still why I both own and am a client of Fit Body.

As your global CEO as my primary focus..

My job is to focus, create and cast the vision for our team to model.

All while being able to see the business at the ground level.

I need to be fit.

I need to attend weekly sessions.

I need to engage with coaches.

I need to use the Nutrition coaching app. 

I need to see our marketing in action.

With this clarity, it allows me to create a better model and picture for you and all. 

So to bring this home to specific your leadership as today’s lesson…

When you create a strong model for your team by your actions, they then have the space to grow and execute against your vision!

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war. 150 150 Bryce Henson

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.

Happy Monday!🙌

“The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”

I read a quote a year ago and stopped being in my tracks. 

It was a mantra that the Spartans warriors of ancient Greece kept front and center thousands of years ago.🇬🇷

This lesson is still applicable today.

With the devastating situation in Israel that has flared up in the last week. And the world conflict & chaos that has erupted over the last 3 years.🇮🇱

This is top of mind.🧠

Yes, the truth is that we are in tough times.💯

Although my message today is grounded in my Stoic Philosophy. 

It’s a message of empowerment and hope!✨

You see..

Stoicism reminds us that many things are outside our direct control in life..

However, the good news is there are also still many things within your direct control.👊

Your effort, attitude and preparation are top on the list!

Now in looking at the big picture but also bringing this home to your fitness..💪

The sad truth is most people don’t invest in their health. 

They eat poorly.

They don’t work out.

They don’t invest in their health and fitness.

They don’t prepare in peace time.

The data shows this as nearly 80% of our adult population and 20% of children our obese or overweight. 

By and large, our country is not in shape. 

Then when chaos breaks out (virus, disease, etc)..

They suffer and pay the price. 

So my message today is to empower yourself.⚡️

Please do not be the average person whose health & fitness is vulnerable at best.🙅

Instead..

Eat healthy, train and sleep well.🥗

Invest in your health, fitness and relationships.🔥

Prepare in peace when you have the opportunity. 

After all..

The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.💥

Sending thoughts and prayers for stronger leadership and peace.

Make it a GREAT week!🙌

Leadership Lesson: #11 The Law of the Inner Circle 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: #11 The Law of the Inner Circle

In his chapter on the Law of the Inner Circle, Maxwell expresses no one leader can excel at all the 21 laws.

Nor does 1 person have enough bandwidth to execute the entire vision of an organization. 

Especially if that vision makes a true impact.

 This is why every leader needs a team.

And as a core part of the team. Successful leaders need a strong inner circle of people who collectively make that leader better than they would be on their own.

As Maxwell puts it, “those closest to you determine your level of success.” 

The tough part is many people are not intentional about this circle.

They drift along latching on or hanging on to other that provide comfort and reassurance overgrowth.

This is a recipe for mediocrity.

If you are reading this, I know you have no desire to me mediocre.

So, my message for you today is to first become aware of the law of the inner circle. 

Realize you need to attract strong people in your life and as a part of our team.

The best way to do this is invest in your personal growth.

As you grow, you will organically attract the people you need to align with in your circle.  

When you do, you win, your team wins, and your clients win.

Onward.

Life Is For The Living 150 150 Bryce Henson

Life Is For The Living

“Life Is For The Living”.🔥

Those were the words Bedros, my business partner and Founder of Fit Body, muttered in my ear while I embraced him at his mother’s funeral services on Thursday morning.

Sobering.

Although, he said it with energy and positivity despite being devastated.

This is why I love the man, his wisdom and stoic mindset.🥰

And while simple..

The profoundness of the message hasn’t left me and I hope it doesn’t. 

Now given the gravity of the situation..

It wasn’t my place or a good time to ask a clarifying question to confirm what he meant by it.

However, this is the meaning I took away feeling the moment and his energy..

Death is part of the cycle of life.🔄

It’s the fate we all share.

So we can complain, pretend or protest it.

But it’s inevitable.💯

We must accept.

Instead and while we do have LIFE… 

It must be LIVED to the FULLEST!

It must be met with URGENCY.

It must be CHERISHED & VALUED.

So my message today is this.

While you have it..

LIVE YOUR LIFE.🙌

Lift weights.

Eat clean.

Take the trip.

Go for a hike.

Visit a loved one.💕

Tell your family member you LOVE them.

Learn that 2nd language.

Go for a walk on the beach.🏖️

LIVE with absolute BOLDNESS.

As you have 1 shot at this thing called LIFE.

SO LIVE IT!

After all, Life Is For The Living.

Make it a GREAT week!✨

Humble Roots 1024 768 Bryce Henson

Humble Roots

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

“Humble Roots” is a core value of my brother Barrett’s local team in Berkley Fit Body Boot Camp.

This is very fitting for him and us.💪

Why?

I can speak for both of us in that we resent the opposite of humble roots which is “entitlement”.

I suppose there are a few reasons for this.

The most prominent is because, for 1st world standards, we come from humble roots.🌱

And this my friend, is a blessing.🙏

You see…

By the grace of God, our angel of a mother Donna escaped our father’s grasp in August of 1991.

She was in a verbally abusive relationship for years, but then it got physical.

Why?

My dad was an alcoholic, and drug addict and had issues with gambling.

As you would imagine..

This created a big issue with the family dynamic and our safety.

While we were living in a rural part of Georgia at the time.

Within a week from things getting violent, we went from going into hiding to landing with my grandma in Detroit, Michigan.

This saved us from a shelter or even worse..

So on 1 hand it was a HUGE WIN for our lives to escape that situation..

On the other hand..

We soon found ourselves in a foreign place, with a foreign culture, with foreign accents and a hard landing coming from the deep south. 

This hard landing continued for the better part of the decade.

This is while Donna busted her butt to do everything within her ability to raise her kids.👊

This is why my brother and I have so much love for her.🥰

So why do I share this today?

The experience is fresh in my mind.

As I just got back from a week trip to visit my Donna, Barrett, and family in Michigan.

It was an incredible time filled with lots of work, plenty of boot camp workouts, and some family time intertwined.

Whenever I go back, I’m always filled with bittersweet memories.

The memories of the good.🙏

The memories of the struggle.💥

It also reminds me of my humble roots.✨

I value this and hope you do too, which is my message today.

As when you attack fitness & life from a “humble roots” perspective.

It creates an incredible amount of work ethic and drive.

It creates a mentality where everything is earned, nothing given.

It creates an “extreme ownership” mentality.

So, as I reflect on this past week, here’s a good “humble roots” framework to follow if you want to be successful at fitness or in life.

  • Check your ego at the door.
  • Roll up them sleeves.
  • Understanding it’s going to be hard.
  • Sweat is required.
  • Hard work is the mantra.
  • Nothing is given.
  • Everything is earned.
  • It will be harder than you think.
  • But it will be more fulfilling than you can even imagine.
  • Now get ready, the time is NOW!

Make it a GREAT week!🌟

Leadership Lesson: #10 The Law of Connection 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: #10 The Law of Connection

On the Law of Connection, John Maxwell writes…

“When it comes to working with people, the heart comes before the head.” 

Logic is important.

But alone it will only take you so far. 

In order to really get people on board with your mission & leadership, you need to connect with their HEARTS through their emotions.

Yes, people are EMOTIONAL beings. People need to feel LOVED and VALUED around their emotions. 

How?

There are many ways to do this, but here are a few:

    • Be open and vulnerable. When you share your inner feelings & struggles, it creates a deep connection.
    • Be curious. Ask questions about THEM!
    • Use the phrase: “Enough about me, how about you? How are you, what’s new? Tell me about that trip, etc!”
    • Then LISTEN intently!
    • Be PRESENT. This makes people feel valued.
    • Engage. Create and hold eye contact. 
    • Share gratitude and love. When sincere, tell someone you love them early and often.

When you create connections around emotion, people put their guard down, you gain friendship and INFLUENCE which is the foundation of leadership.

70 years of wisdom 1024 768 Bryce Henson

70 years of wisdom

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

This past Friday was a special one as Tatiana and I celebrated my dear friend Mara’s 70th B Day.🎉

Mara and I met in June 2014.

She lives in south Orange County, but was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I’ve been taking Brazilian Portuguese private lessons with her every weekend for nearly 10 years.🇧🇷

And unless a very special circumstance or either of us are traveling, we meet every weekend with incredible consistency.

Now she started as my 2nd language teacher behind my mother-in-law. 🙂

And with time, she’s become one of my closest friends in life.

I now consider her my 3rd mom after my dear mother Donna and Mother in Law Cristina nearly 10 years into our relationship.🙏

I feel blessed.

Now to unpack this, there are so many lessons she’s taught me about her language, her culture, and her life packed with 70 years of wisdom.✨

But probably the biggest lesson is the value of relationships in coaching which is the industry I’ve chosen to pursue a career in.💥

Yes, I am a very disciplined guy which has kept me committed.

In fact, one of my superpowers is that I can lock in on a target for an unreasonable amount of time to get the desired result.

However, the truth is that the main reason I keep coming back week in and week out is only partially due to discipline.

The other significant part is driven due to our relationship.

Mara is a beautiful soul coming from a completely different walk of life who I love.🥰

She grew up in another country & continent on the other side of the world 30 years before I made my entrance to planet earth.

She’s an incredible listener.👂

She makes conversation fun.🤗  

She’s very thoughtful and compassionate.

She’s very curious.

She knows her craft well.

And best of all, she cares.  

TRULY CARES.💕 

In fact, there’s been only 1 time in 10 years she’s needed to cut out of the lesson first. That’s such a cool fact I like to share in that I FEEL her love and support.

This makes lessons with her fly by as I focus on the relationship.🌟

And as a byproduct, I have gained fluency in her beautiful language after years of putting in the work which I have no plans on stopping.

And this my friend, is the takeaway.

Today’s message is for you to pick something that’s meaningful to you in which you want to achieve.  Yes, something hard that will both challenge and change you.

This could be fitness, business, or any hobby that catches your fancy. 

The more time to master, the better as that will 10x the fullfiment. 

Then seek out guidance from someone who’s gone where you want to go.

After all, guides show you the path.

But also know that all guides are not created equal.

So, ensure you mesh well with them. Ensure they are passionate about the subject you are learning as passion transfers.

Ensure you have common ground, and you genuinely like them.  

And then focus on the RELATIONSHIP, not just the transaction of learning.🌟

This is where long term consistency and results resid, even when the going gets tough. Trust me, the going will get tough, and you will feel like quitting often.

But when this feeling hits, the RELATIONSHIP will carry you through.

This is what has worked for me and what I teach my team of coaches here in Mission Viejo.👊

This approach has allowed me to accomplish a very challenging goal, and greatly fulfilled my life in the process.

My hope is you achieve the same success and fulfillment in whatever you are after.🔥

And of course, if you ever need help, my team and I are here.

Make it a GREAT week!💪
