Monday Mindset

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!🎉

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.💯

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. 🙂

World Conference Recap 150 150 Bryce Henson

World Conference Recap

Happy Monday Mindset!🔥

This weekend was nothing short of INCREDIBLE!💪

475 attendees traveled from across North America to Dallas, Texas for 3 days.🌟

The mission was simple.

Pour into our Fit Body Franchise Partners, Leaders and Coaches. This way, they could return to their local locations and pour into their clients and communities. 

Mission Accomplished!🙌

What’s even better?

Seeing our Mission Viejo team teach and support our attendees. All while having the opportunity to learn and grow from other presenters and coaches.👊 

Here at Fit Body, we call this “ironing sharpening iron” which is also how our clients get in such great shape with the coaching & community of our program.🚀

In reflection of our event, today’s message is this:

If you want to be successful in any aspect of your life. Whether that’s fitness, family, professional or anything else. 

The best way is to seek out guidance from someone who has already achieved the goal you are after. Then surround yourself with positive people who will lift you up, support you, and challenge you to become even better!⚡️

When you do, you will grow and achieve your target!💥

The Separation is in the Preparation 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Separation is in the Preparation

Happy Monday!🙌

I was chatting with my good friend Mara last week about this year’s World Conference.

In case you need clarity..

The Fit Body World Conference (WC) is our annual convention for our Franchise Partners and coaches to learn and grow.  This way, our clients receive an even better experience and results here at Fit Body!💪

This year’s conference is hosted in Dallas, Texas this Friday/Saturday, August 11/12!🌟

In conversation, I shared with Mara how excited I am for our Franchise Partners, coaches, team, clients and brand! 

There’s also a special bonus this year..

Our Mission Viejo team will be leading the works outs & speaking on a panel to help coach other coaches throughout North America. This is extra significant as we have the biggest WC in recent history with 467 people registered!💥

Mara then asked me if I was nervous about the event and speaking in front of nearly 500 people.

My answer?

Absolutely!  

Always am and always will be as that’s a sign of focus and care!✨

That said, the Conference or “game” as I referred to it, will already be won or lost long before my team & I arrive in Dallas. 

As at that point, we are just executing against our preparation. As there will be no miracles one way or the other.

As how we prepare is how we execute. 👊 

This is the bottom line. 

This is the same for your health in fitness as you journey through life!

You see..

Next time a disease or virus hits your system.. 

Your level of resiliency will depend on your preparation towards your health and fitness game long before the attack on your immune system!

If you have prepared your fitness, it will be much easier to manage. The opposite is also true.

The good news?

My team and I have been prepping for months and when game time arrives on Friday, execution will match. This way our people get a GREAT experience which trickles down to support our clients!🙏

This is also what I want for you with your health and fitness which is my message today!

If you need help with your fitness preparation, please lean on my team and I!💪

Make it a GREAT Monday!🙌

The Coffee Guy 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Coffee Guy

Family!🙌

I am excited to share that I am the newest appointed coffee guy.☕️

No, I don’t drink coffee.❌

I’m referring to the 6 month commitment I picked up at my 12-step program last week.

You see, on 1 hand I am the CEO of an International Fitness Franchise. This comes with plenty of authority and responsibility.💯

On the other, I am the low man on the totem pole. As I have a noble job, ensuring the coffee is prepared at my Monday night meeting.

This way, I can be of service to other recovering alcoholics like me.👋

Humbling huh?

Good. Just the way it needs to be!

As it reminds me to always have a white belt mentality.🧠

It reminds me to be of service to others. 

It reminds me there’s always someone who knows more.👊 

As there’s always room to grow, innovate, improve and to help others no matter the task.🌱

This is the purpose of life.

To continue to develop to your full potential in the service of others! 🎯

That might mean you are a hard-charging business executive, an active member of your church or leader of your family..⚡️

It also means that you still must ensure the trash gets picked up and put out.

So my message to you today is this.

“You are above nothing, so put in the work!”

This is also my daily reminder to myself!

And a good message I wanted to share with you.✨

Love, respect and gratitude.

Make it a GREAT Monday!

The Sound of Freedom.. 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Sound of Freedom..

When I began my fitness journey, I wanted a better physique. 💪 

Vain but true.💯

Maybe you can relate?

And while I achieved the goal within the first 6 months of my journey, I had no idea the other benefits fitness would provide.

More energy, more mental clarity, more confidence and more enthusiasm toward life to name a few. 

Although, if you really break it down..

Fitness provided me FREEDOM.🔥

FREEDOM from embarrassment, FREEDOM from shame and FREEDOM from anxiety. 

In fact, the FREEDOM I derived impacted me so much.. 

It inspired me to become a fitness coach, open a Fit Body location and work to support others to become FREE of the problems of a sedentary lifestyle. 

I feel blessed as this truly fills my cup.🙏

And while you and I enjoy this FREEDOM, there are millions of people in the world that don’t. My wife Tatiana and I watched the film “Sound of Freedom” last week at the movies.🎬

By now, I hope you have heard of the film which has blown up the box office. It’s the first time I’ve gone to the movies or watched a film in years. 

Candidly, a big part of me wasn’t overly excited to go given the grueling nature of the film. But I also knew that I had a duty, obligation and responsibility toward humanity to watch it.🙌

This is especially as I experienced a close encounter of sexual abuse when I was 11.  And the probability is very high that many people within our Fit Family could have or know someone affected by this crime.

I share this to showcase the fact that this situation is real and closer to home than any of us can imagine.

My take?

If you haven’t seen it.. You MUST.💥

It’s a tough story to digest, but one that needs to be shared.

And while very sad in nature, the film also provides HOPE which is my message today!💪

HOPE that good people like you and me will share the message and begin to solve the problem of human trafficking and provide FREEDOM to children across the world.

I know you to be a person who wants to live a better life and do good towards humanity. So to lead by example, Tatiana and I purchase $510 worth of tickets for you to take advantage. 🎟️

If you cannot afford it or wouldn’t pay for the film, please take advantage of the offer and watch the film.

Our only ask is that you see the film in the next 2 weeks and pay it forward by sharing the message of the sound of FREEDOM that we enjoy.

== > Claim your FREE ticket

Love, respect and gratitude.

Make it a GREAT Monday!🙌

50% complete.. Can you believe it? 150 150 Bryce Henson

50% complete.. Can you believe it?

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

In the blink of an eye, more than 50% of 2023 is gone.😱

Complete, donezo, bye-bye.👋

Can you believe it?

Life happens fast!💯

Given the half way marker, it’s a good time to take a step back and do some life & fitness inventory.

Are you at your fitness goal?

What is your weight?

Do you have enough lean muscle mass?

How’s your cardiovascular conditioning?

When your fitness improves..

Everything improves.🎯

This includes improvements in your relationships with your family, friends, co-workers, your career, and your finances as your fitness is your foundation.💪

The opposite is true.

But regardless of where you are at right now..

It’s time to reflect, review and set up your game plan to ensure the back 50% of 2023 is better than the first.💥

The good news is this: everything in life is temporary.

So even if you are off track at this moment in time (temporary). 

It also means you have the OPPORTUNITY to change everything TODAY!✨

If you need help, we are here for you.😍

Just reply!

Make it a GREAT Monday!💪

The Freedom to Fail 🇺🇸 150 150 Bryce Henson

The Freedom to Fail 🇺🇸

Happy Monday Mindset!

Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸

It’s one of my favorite days of the year for many reasons.😍 

The biggest 2 are that it’s because it’s summertime and is a celebration of what I believe to be the best country in the world ever founded.

Does America have its problems?

Absolutely. ✅

Every country founded by humans does.

However, we have a lot to be thankful for. This includes 1 of my most favorite principles of our country being founded on FREEDOM.

While people usually hit on the positive aspects of freedom which is a good thing as there are many.

In a free society, you also have the freedom to FAIL!

And that my friend is also a good thing!👍

Why you might ask?

Failure ensures inefficiencies and bad ideas die. It fosters an environment where only the good ideas remain and prosper.

After all..

Failure is not finite. Rather, it’s just a form of feedback.👊

Did you slack on your workouts and nutrition and gain a few pounds?

Just feedback to adjust the course if you want to win in the future… This “Failure” teaches you how to treat your body better.💪

Fail to execute a project for work and your boss writes you up?

Just more feedback to ensure you are more prepared for next time so you execute and succeed!

So as you enjoy the 4th and all the freedoms America provides.🙌

Also appreciate you have the freedom to fail, learn and grow. I call that “Failing Forward.”

When you look at it from this perspective, this is one of the most valuable gifts that freedom provides.🎁 

Happy 4th of July!🇺🇸

[MM]: Peopl e who pay… 819 1024 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Peopl e who pay…

Happy Monday Mindset!🙌

In 2009, I decided to learn a foreign language from scratch. 

I landed on Brazilian Portuguese as I was inspired by a visit to Rio de Janeiro over Christmas 2008. And I have been on a consistent journey ever since.🇧🇷

I am happy to report I am conversationally fluent after years of painstaking work.💥

How have I accomplished this goal?

Well, in many ways.  

I’ve lived in Brazil for 2 years. I’ve taken many online classes. I’ve enrolled in a Brazilian University. I’ve hired tutors. I married a Brazilian gal. I have lived with her family. I invested in the Rosetta Stone and executed countless other strategies in order to achieve fluency.

Many of these strategies have added to my bilingual ability, including most notably my mother-in-law Cristina and my private teacher Mara. 

Specific to Mara, she lives in Laguna Beach. 

She was born & raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil nearly 30 before I was born.  We started working together in June of 2014 and meet every weekend for an hour. 

There’s an occasional weekend where we are traveling that we miss. But that aside, we are very-very consistent. ✨

Is it easy? No. 

Truthfully, most weekends I do not “feel” like taking class prior. I have my internal doubts and think of all the other things I could be doing instead of the hard work!

But I always seem to dig deep, push those feelings aside and meet with her.  And you guessed it.. After our lesson, I am always happy I did!🥰

Kinda like working out. 🙂

As a result and through the years, she’s becoming one of my closest friends. In fact, we have grown a deep affinity and love for one another.😍

We have deep insights into each other’s lives as our classes have transitioned from grammar and vocabulary. Now, most of the time we catch up for an hour as friends. 

So nowadays, my language development is a bi-product of meaningful conversation.

This is coaching at its finest as Mara is a beautiful soul and an incredible relationship builder. I am deeply indebted and grateful to her.🙏

Now if you can believe, a few years ago she let me know that she enjoys our relationship so much, she would teach me for free.

While this is true, I politely declined.

I am sure you are thinking… 

Why turn down such an offer?!

Because I pay her for me.😀

Let me explain..

My business partner and founder of Fit Body, Bedros Keuilian told me this little secret about human nature over a decade ago. It didn’t make sense at the time but I do know 100% it’s true after coaching thousands of fitness and business clients for many years.👇

“People who pay, pay attention”, he said. 

The truth is that people who get the best results are the ones who pay. 

Because when you pay, an energy/accountability transfer happens. You then feel an internal tug to pay attention. As people disappoint themselves, but it’s more painful to disappoint someone else. 

A quicker and long-term result is the bi-product. 

So as much as Mara is one of my closest friends in life. If I stop paying her, the probability increases that I will stop paying attention which I will not let happen. 

Ultimately, I pay her for me.💥

So here is my message today for you. 

Invest and pay for whatever areas in life you need support in. If there is long-term value, happily pay for the coaching.💰 

Yes, that’s the right thing to do. In addition, it will be most impactful for YOU to keep you long-term committed.

After all, people who pay, pay attention!💯

Make it a great Monday!
