[MM]: The Confidence to Pursue Your Dreams 1024 759 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The Confidence to Pursue Your Dreams

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

Last Friday was bittersweet as we bid farewell to our beloved coach Kelin.💕

Kelin is a beautiful soul and put together an incredible body of work for our clients, team and community here at Mission Viejo Fit Body.

She’s off to pursue her dreams of living in Denver, Colorado while coaching for a new Fit Body location.✨

In essence, she’s pursuing both geographical and department change within our organization.

As I reflect, this is the 2nd amazing coach in 2023 that shifted away to follow their passion. 🙌

The first one being coach Kat earlier this year as she traveled to Central America and then relocated back to the midwest. 

And while bummed for Mission Viejo Fit Body, I am happy for both amazing coaches.🥰

The commonality?

By getting in great shape and staying fit, this provided them both the increased levels of confidence & clarity to pursue big life dreams.🌟

In fact, as I reflect back at my own life…

This was the same for me in 2010 when I decided to move to Florianopolis, Brazil where I lived for 2 years and met my wife Coach Tatiana.🇧🇷

Without going through my own fitness transformation a few years prior, I cannot look you in the eye and tell you I would have had the confidence to have followed this big dream of moving abroad.💪

And that’s where the BIG AH-HAH came today..

When you invest in yourself. 

When you train at least 3-4 times per week, hydrate and eat well..

Your mind, body and soul respond. 

Way more than just weight loss..

You gain more energy, mental clarity and confidence.

Through gaining a higher level of confidence, you then gain the ability to follow your passions in life.

And this is my message and passionate plea for you today my friend.

Invest in yourself!

Invest in your fitness!

When you do..

Just like Coach Kelin, Kat and I..

You will acquire higher levels of confidence to pursue your dreams, whatever they may be for you!

This is why my team and I are so passionate to support you on your fitness journey. 

If you need help, please respond to this email as we are here to support you.

Make it a GREAT week!💥

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!🙌

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!🌟

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!💪

Don’t overlook this foundation fo r success. 150 150 Bryce Henson

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!🌟

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.💪

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!🎉

-Coach Bryce 

PS I am excited to announce our 8 Week Fall Challenge which starts Monday September 18. I will send registration info on Wednesday so stay tuned!

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.💯

-Coach Bryce 

PS I am excited to announce our 8 Week Fall Challenge which starts Monday September 18. I will send more info later this week so stay tuned! 🙂
