Leadership Lesson: #9 The Law of Magnetism 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: #9 The Law of Magnetism

In his chapter on the Law of Magnetism, John Maxwell makes an essential but not always obvious point: Your teammates likely have a lot in common with you. 

Why?

People tend to gravitate toward others who are similar. You might notice this in your friend groups, and it’s true of your team as well!

As Maxwell says, “The better leader you are, the better leaders you will attract.” 

If you’re unhappy with the people you attract, you must focus on your own personal and leadership development.

This is a notion I constantly remind myself of which is why I wanted to share with you.

Today’s message:

Remember that leadership is an inside game. Focus on your continued development and growth. Stay fit and active. Get involved with a positive/ supportive community and be a student of learning.

You will then attract the right people into your team and life using the law of magnetism.

Don’t overlook this foundation fo r success.

Family!🙌

This Saturday our team of coaches here in Mission Viejo executed our quarterly team training.

We aligned as a team.✨

We discussed the game plan for the next 90 days.

We discussed how to better support our clients.

We reviewed the form coaches training provided at our World Conference event last month in Dallas. 

And most importantly, we focused on the basics of coaching which was a great reset.🔥

Why?

Life comes at you fast.👊

But if you take a step back, you realize that success leaves clues.

Whether it’s in professional sports, hard charging business executives, or great parents..

A commonality is that they focus on the basics which compound all aspects of their lives.💥

They eat well.

They get enough sleep.

They train 3-4x per week.

They invest time in their family & relationships.

They work hard.

They focus on learning & growing personally and professionally.

My friend, these are the basics..

No, they are not glamorous but where success resides!

So as our 10LB. Fall Challenge kicks off today..

Let’s take the next few weeks and focus on the basics. 

As this will set you up for long term success!🌟

Leadership Lesson: #8 The Law of Intuition 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: #8 The Law of Intuition

After a few weeks off for some variety, we are going to return to John Maxwell’s next 7 laws of leadership in the following weeks.

Specific to number 8, the Law of Inutrition..

Maxwell acknowledges that it’s more challenging than other laws to explain because it’s more fluid and less concrete. 

He describes, “The Law of Intuition is based on facts plus instinct plus other intangible factors, such as employee morale, organizational momentum, and relational dynamics.”

Because of this, intuition is much harder to teach although not impossible.

I also personally believe some people have better leadership instincts than others which is the “Nature” part of this equation.

Think Nature vs. Nurture. 

However, everyone can improve their leadership skills and become a strong leader via the nurture component for those who possess a student mindset.

This is why I strongly believe to be a student of leadership, you have to be a student of human nature.

With focus and intentionality, you can learn how people behave. 

And more specifically, learn from situations of high pressure or stress as this is when human nature is truly revealed. 

Today’s message:

Pay attention to how people behave.

Be observant on what things make them angry or happy. What things attract, repel or make people very emotional? 

Study people constantly with curiosity.

More specifically, learn from situations of high pressure or stress as this is when human nature is more deeply revealed. 

When you do, you will increase your intuition and become a better leader.

Freedom 150 150 Bryce Henson

Freedom

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

This past weekend I gave a keynote at the BK Live Event hosted by my business partner & founder of Fit Body, Bedros Keuilian.

In my talk, I covered why I decided to stop going down the bad path of drugs and alcohol in my 20’s.🥃

I described the pain of my rock bottom moment nearly 7 years ago. 

But also the hope & solution I found when I eventually sought help. 

In a nutshell, my message was that you can take action to rewrite your story for a better and a FREER life at any time. 

This is true for you too, even if you feel stuck at the moment. 

If you can relate, I would encourage you to ask for help and seek support from a coach/community.✨

When you do, you will increase your probability to focus on your fitness, become more disciplined, and make better choices..

And while tough at first..

You eventually gain more FREEDOM!⚡️

This message is also very important today being Monday, September 11.

As today marks the 22 year anniversary of the dreadful day where FREEDOM was attacked and many lives lost when the twin towers in New York City were hit.🗽

My hope that we will never forget and always understand the true value of FREEDOM while honoring the lives lost.🙏

And lastly, to encourage you to live with urgency so you are empowered to rewrite your story of health, wellness and fitness NOW to gain more of the FREEDOM you deserve.💪

Leadership Lesson: The Incredible Leadership of Adolf Hitler 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: The Incredible Leadership of Adolf Hitler

I trust the headline got your attention. 

While it’s absolutely sincere, I don’t mean it in the way you most likely initially thought.

The truth is Adolf Hitler was an evil-evil man.

Let me repeat, and evil-evil man.

But also an INCREDIBLE leader.

You see, while leadership usually gets a positive connotation.

When you break it down to the core..

Leadership is just a tool. 

By itself, it’s neutral.

Here are a couple of other examples of what I mean..

Some people say money is good, others say its bad.

In reality, money is a tool, it is neutral. 

It can be used to create beautiful things or destroy them.

Same with energy.

it’s a tool and also neutral.

It can power civilizations or destroy them (Atomic Bomb).

Why is this my leadership topic for today?

Because 2 weeks ago, I visited hell on Earth from the years of 1941-1945 via the concentration camp of Auschwitz in Poland.

This was Adolf Hitzler’s most famous death camp in World War 2 that killed over 1 million Jewish people alone. 

Truthfully, I didn’t want to go.

Which was the exact reason why I had to go.

If you ever thought if things were not going your way..

As a friend and very lovingly, I politely urge you to gain some perspective. 

This was the coaching I gave to myself.

As I needed a dose of this medicine.

So I am not preaching at you, rather with you.

And by experiencing just the memory made me realize I need to step up my gratitude, perspective & leadership game.

My message today?

Leadership is perspective. 

Perspective is leadership.

It’s also a very powerful tool that you have a duty, obligation, and responsibility to develop and use for good.

Please never forget this.

And as humans, I strongly believe we all have a duty, obligation, and responsibility to see what happened with our own eyes in Auschwitz at some point in your life to gain more perspective.

And if you have already much love, respect, and would love your feedback.

Do you Labor? 150 150 Bryce Henson

Do you Labor?

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Today is Labor Day here in the states.🇺🇸

I did some research on the origin and this is what came up on Wikipedia..

“Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.The three-day weekend it falls on is called Labor Day Weekend.”

While I believe this is a noble cause.✨

I do have some concerns.

Speaking freely..

I see a lot of entitlement & resistance to labor in our country as of late.

Now regardless of the root cause on a macro level..

My mindset message today is intended to make you think and inspire you on a micro level..

So it’s time to take moral inventory.💥

I challenge you to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, whole heartedly..

Do you labor?

What I mean this is..

  • Do you give it your all every day?
  • Are you active in your fitness?
  • Are you challenging yourself to grow in your fitness, family and finances to achieve the best version of you every single day?

Time is fleeting.⌛️

If your answer is no, let this day be a good wake up call to step your fitness, family and finances game. As the time is NOW!

If your answer is yes, enjoy some well deserved time off with your loves ones, and then get ready to attack your week ahead!💪

As rest is important, but AFTER the labor and never before.

Happy Labor Day!🎉

Leadership Lesson: Why I Study Leadership 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Why I Study Leadership

At my core, I love people way more than other aspects of business.

Actually, it’s not even close.  

In fact, I believe the best leaders in the world have a deep love for people at their foundation.

As leadership (and people) are both very difficult. Very difficult. So you have to genuinely have a love for them, otherwise it’s too much.

And while this is at the foundation of strong leadership, that alone is not enough.

So I wanted to share another driver for me in the spirit of being vulnerable and raw with you.

Aside from loving people and seeing the incredible value of aligning people towards a common goal. 

Which ultimately is just what leadership is..

I’ve also learned that leading by example, which is referred to as the “Morale Authority”, is the most influential way to lead.

The hard part?

At my core, I’m far from perfect. 

In fact, I have many many flaws. Being an addict is 1 of the most severe. 

I’ve been addicted to drugs & alcohol just to name a few. These are all very selfish and not selfish endeavors. 

I wish it wasn’t so, but this is my ugly truth.

However, I’ve also learned through both life and my Stoic Philosophy, you can turn your biggest weakness into your biggest strength.

As left to my own devices with my selfish addiction, I could easily be on the streets & homeless in the most severe circumstances.

Sounds extreme, but it’s true. 

In fact, every time I see a homeless addict, I see a vision for what my life could easily become if I don’t focus on serving others.

I am the German Shepherd Bedros refers to.

However, the thing that keeps me grounded is my desire to add value to you, our team, owners and clients.

As if every day I strive to be a better leader for myself and others. This way, I can use this accountability to redirect my darkness to the light. 

So in the most selfless and selfish ways, my love for people and serving you, keeps me clean of alcohol, my biggest Kryptonite 24 hours at a time since December 2016.

My leadership message today?

Turn whatever is your weakness or lowest moment in your life, into a positive and for battling cry in the service other people. 

When you do this, your leadership grows and your following wins.

The Study of Human Nature 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Study of Human Nature

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I wanted to share a story from last week that I shared with my fellow Fit Body Franchise Partners being we are in the people business.

Why is this important to you?🤔

Whether you work in the service industry or not. 

You surely interact with people everyday. 

So it is very important to study human nature. This way you can interact more successfully which will aid you in many aspects of your daily life. 

If you get value, please share with a friend! 🙂

–

Straight from the World Conference, I boarded a flight from Dallas to Poland. I grew up with Polish heritage in that my grandma was 1st generation.🇵🇱

Her parents escaped the Communist/Socialist regime prior to World War 1. They ended up making it to Detroit, Michigan when Henry Ford opened his manufacturing plants in the early 1900’s. 

This is why I am so patriotic and grateful for their sacrifice. 🇺🇸

And while these are my roots..

Ironically, I took a visit due to my wife Coach Tatiana’s family.  As my brother-in-law Luiz moved to Poland from Florianopolis, Brazil last year for his work.🇧🇷

Luiz’s grandma is the one who helped Tatiana, him and I to acquire our Portuguese Citizenship a few years ago, which technically makes us both Portuguese. Although I suppose that is a story for another day…

Anyway, on one of the evening tours.. 

I walked in a street market with Luiz and we saw a Portuguese food truck amongst many other options.🇵🇹

They had a very famous Brazilian soft drink displayed, so we walked up to the counter and tried to order. The man behind the counter addressed us in Polish which neither of us understood. 

After he realized his message didn’t land..

He then turned and spoke Portuguese to his colleague behind the counter asking him if he could take our order in English..

When I heard Portuguese, I immediately asked him if he was Brazilian in Brazilian Portuguese. 

As I made out a few words even though it was very loud and I couldn’t make out his accent from 1 sentence. 

He replied in Portuguese..  

“No, I am from Portugal.”

He then returned the question and I replied.. 

“Well, I am American and my brother-in-law is Brazilian”.

I paused for a second and then added..

“But come to think of it, we are all Portuguese”.

The metaphor and moral of the story is this..

Even though people have big differences in culture, language and customs. In this case, all 3 of us grew up in different countries, continents, and cultures for that matter.

Deep down as humans, we are all the same.✨

We all have the same instincts, desires, and fears. And we are all doing the best we can with what we have.👊

This is why it’s so important we understand & forever study human nature to the core being we are in the people business.💯

Leadership Lesson: 2 Areas of Focus 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: 2 Areas of Focus

Leadership is hard. 

Very hard.

Why?

Well, many reasons.

But when you break it down..

People have their individual thoughts, motives, beliefs and desires.

So in order to lead others..

You have to align their desires with the goal of your mission.

This takes plenty of perspective & situational awareness among other skills.

Within this framework, here are 2 areas of focus to level up your leadership.

  1. Outwardly Focus. You must consistently seek perspective and ensure you align your team’s desires (what’s in it for THEM) with both new initiatives & the overall mission. 
  2. Inwardly Focus. You must be able to lead yourself with strict discipline. As your team will only follow your leadership if they see undeniable proof of your ability to lead YOU! This is extremely difficult but creates significant influence in leading others. 

Now go forth and conquer. 

The “Good” Mindset (How to overcome any obstacle) 150 150 Bryce Henson

The “Good” Mindset (How to overcome any obstacle)

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

I am still buzzing on our incredible World Conference event last week.. 💪

As I reflect, it reminded me of 1 of our keynote speakers for 2019’s event who was also spectacular. 

His name is Jocko Willink.🔥

He is a retired US Navy Seal, best-selling author of “Extreme Ownership” and leadership expert.

He has an iron-clad mindset and produced this 2-minute video below as a framework on how he shifts his mindset and that of us his team to overcome any challenge.👊

I refer to it at least a handful of times every year to help me when things get tough.

So if you are going through a tough situation now.

Or next time you do..

I trust it will aid you on your journey so you can handle all that life throws at you. And if it helps, my only ask is to pay it forward by sharing. 🙂
