Monday Mindset

[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!šŸ‘‡

ā€“

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.āŒ

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.šŸ’Æ

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

But the real cost was sliding into a depression.šŸ˜­

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.šŸŽÆ

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

NO MORE!šŸ™Œ

As humans, we can’t lie to ourselves.

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

Letā€™s make it a great week!šŸ’Ŗ

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

Donā€™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.Ā 

In fact, success is boring.Ā 

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 horizonā€¦

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

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 1024 455 Bryce Henson

[MM] The power of giving

Happy Monday Mindset!šŸ™Œ

Last week I shared a national press release that featured Fit Bod Boot Campā€™s Guinness Book of World Records attempt.šŸ’„

And while that was a worthy attempt at greatnessā€¦

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

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

In reflection of the outpouring of responses..

The reality is this..

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

Today’s message?šŸ‘‡

My friend, take care of yourself.Ā 

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!šŸ™

Letā€™s make it a great week!šŸ’„

[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!

ā€“

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..

Ā ā€œI carry all the kinds of deeds of my friends. By doing so, they are out of sight and out of mind, and I donā€™t have to do anything about them. Theyā€™re soon forgotten.Ā 

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.ā€

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

ā€œ I constantly keep them before me,ā€Ā he said.

ā€œIt gives me pleasure to see them.ā€

ā€œThe sack on your back seems heavy, what is in it?,ā€Ā someone remarked to the second traveler.

ā€œThatā€™s where I carry my mistakes,ā€Ā said the second man.Ā ā€œI always keep them on my back.ā€

The third man was asked what he keeps in his sacks.Ā ā€œI carry my friendsā€™ kind deeds in this front sack,ā€Ā he said.

ā€œIt looks full. It must be heavy,ā€Ā said an observer.

ā€œNo,ā€Ā said the third man,Ā ā€œitā€™s big but not heavy. Far from being a burden, it is like the sails of a ship. It helps me move ahead.ā€

The observer added, ā€œI notice that the sack behind you has a hole in the bottom. It seems empty and of very little use.ā€

The third man replied..

ā€œThatā€™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!

Letā€™s make it a great week!

[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.Ā 

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 quoteĀ ā€œRest at the end, not in the middleā€.

Why is this significant?

Thatā€™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,Ā ā€œkeep going as you can rest at the end, but not in the middle!ā€

Letā€™s make it a great week!

Fit Body Attempts Guinness Book of World Record for a Cause 1024 811 Bryce Henson

Fit Body Attempts Guinness Book of World Record for a Cause

Yes, you read that right. šŸ‘

This past Saturday I was in Grand Rapids Michigan supporting one of my best friends and Franchise Partners Matt Wilber.

He and a team of 7 West Michigan Fit Body locations organized a group Jumping Jack Work Out which was an official attempt at the Guinness Book of World Records.šŸ”„

There were over 1,500 people in attendance.Ā 

The energy was electric!!āš”ļø

Sadly we came up short by roughly 750 participants.

While bummed we didnā€™t break the record.

There was a GIANT silver lining..

Our Fit Body clients donated nearly 100K for the Big Give Non-profit. Which means over 1,000 underprivileged kids in West Michigan will have a Christmas.šŸŽ„

This, my friend, was the fundamental reason for the event.

So ultimately it was a historic win!!šŸ™Œ

There was so much love and support from Matt, our Fit Body team, clients, and the community in the Midwest.

We did a lot of good in the process.

I hope this inspires you to take part in our incredible brand whose mission is to Inspire Fitness & Change Lives here in Mission Viejo AND in our local communities across North America!

The best part?

Next year when we officially break the record..Ā 

It will be that much sweeter.

[MM] Fit Body on FOX – the countries biggest health crisis 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM] Fit Body on FOX – the countries biggest health crisis

Happy Monday! šŸ™Œ

I am excited to go back home after a 10-day trip to the midwest!

There were many highlights including being featured on FOX 2 News Detroit with my brother Barrett. Barrett is a Fit Body owner in Michigan and Executive Director of Coaching for the brand.

It was really fun following his lead and seeing the great relationship he has built with the station which gives a platform to discuss health and wellness.šŸ’„

Specifically, FOX 2 recently reached out to him and brought us on to cover the Obesity Epidemic. As statistically it has been and continues to be the most severe health crisis our country faces.Ā 

In fact, it was the root cause of 80% of COVIDā€™s hospitalizations and fatalities. And sadly, the problem has become even worse in the last few years. šŸ’Æ

Below are some stats from the CDC.

The scariest part? šŸ˜±

These are pre-COVID. They are now much worse.Ā 

  • 42.4% of Adults in the US are defined as ObeseĀ 
  • 32% of adults in the US are defined as OverweightĀ 
  • 20% of children in the US are defined as ObeseĀ 

And the most challenging part of being a Fitness Coach is when I get the response,Ā ā€œBryce, I cannot afford to get fit.ā€Ā 

My response?

You cannot afford not to be fit. āœ…

As the CDCā€™s data shows it costs the average Obese AmericanĀ $1,500/yearĀ more in health care costs and nearlyĀ $200 BILLION dollarsĀ collectively as a country.Ā 

Both scary and mind-boggling.Ā 

The takeaway?

You either pay for your fitness or sickness. The choice is yours.šŸ‘Š

The best part?

My team and I are here to help which is my message for today!šŸ™

Lean on us and do it often! We are PASSIONATE about beating this and here for you! So please reach out!šŸ‘

[MM] A White Belt Mentality 768 1024 Bryce Henson

[MM] A White Belt Mentality

BOOM!šŸ’„

That was the loud sound of my friend James slamming me on the mat at my first Brazilian Jitsu session on Saturday.

The experience was extremely, extremely, extremely humbling to say the least.

While I pride myself on my fitness and athleticism, I was thrown around like a rag doll.šŸ‘Ž

Candidly, I was no match for James who has been training for the better part of a decade.Ā 

In fact, Saturday reminded me of my very first personal training session in January 2007. I felt awkward, scared, uncomfortable, and so out of place.

And I would imagine the exact same feeling as many of our newbies who enrolled in our brand-wide Fall Challenge which kicks off today.

Excited and nervous all at the same time.Ā 

There is something special and needed, in taking a bit of humble pie, putting on your proverbial white belt on and pushing through your comfort zone.

As your comfort zone is where all the growth, the breakthroughs, the happier and better version of you remains.

But the secret is being willing to put that while belt on and start. šŸ”„

To startĀ is always the hardest and scariest part.Ā 

But when you do, and while incredibly challenging in the moment..

Eventually, the world opens up to you and your life gets better. Just as long as you stay strong and donā€™t quit. šŸ‘Š

That’s been my experience with fitness and life. šŸ’Ŗ

And I want that for you. šŸ’Æ

Make it a great week!

[MM] ā€œThere’s money in the transaction, but wealth in theā€¦.ā€ 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM] ā€œThere’s money in the transaction, but wealth in theā€¦.ā€

I had a big learning lesson that I wanted to share with you from last week regarding my former housecleaner. šŸ’„

She was introduced by a referral and have been working with her for the last 6 months. She comes once per month.Ā 

Overall, sheā€™s friendly and has done a decently good job according to my wife Tatiana.

But this past Thursday evening when I arrived home from our Headquarters, I found Tatiana on her knees outside my office door trying to pick the lock.

Her fingers were bruised as she had spent the last 30 minutes trying to unlock the door.Ā 

It turns out that when our cleaner came, she accidentally locked and closed the door before leaving.Ā 

Since Tatiana was trying to solve it, I quickly gave the cleaner a buzz and asked if she could help. The alternative was to hire a locksmith for $200.

Unfortunately, that is what we ended up having to do.Ā 

And this was just after the $250 house cleaning. Ouch!šŸ˜“

And the worst part is that our cleaner made no offer to help, and even pointed the blame at us asĀ ā€œshe doesn’t lock doors, only closes them so had to be your faultā€.

She then messaged Tatiana the next day to confirm our next monthly cleaning. Unfortunately, that’s a no-go and the last time we will work together.

Now to be fair, if she made any effort to help and/or was willing to split the cost of the locksmith, that would have been sufficient.Ā 

Stuff happens and heaven knows I make my fair share of mistakes.Ā 

No issues on my end, as we all do.

However, nothing was offered to make the oversight right. Nothing at all, other than turning the blame on her client.Ā 

As you would imagine, we felt very disappointed and will no longer be working with her again. As when the next thing breaks, I definitely know it will be our fault again.šŸ‘Š

While bummed, there’s a lesson here.āš”ļø

When you make a mistake, take full responsibility and then make it right.Ā 

Simple as that.šŸ‘

Personally, that’s a good rule to live by.

And in the business world which you can also apply to your profession, my saying about short term/long term thinking..

ā€œThere’s money in the transaction, but wealth in the relationship.ā€

So sometimes you have to forgo the transaction, make the situation right to guard your relationships, and tap into true long-term wealth.

Make it a great week!
