Monday Mindset

[MM]: Developed: Not Hired 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Developed: Not Hired

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a productive weekend.

Mine was spent in Austin, TX as my good friend and CEO of a marketing agency called Loud Rumor flew me out to give a keynote at his event.

I spoke to a 200 person audience of Fitness Professionals full of passion!

My requested topic?

How to Hire Studio Location Managers.

I opened it up with a story of how I began as a broke and out of shape alcoholic, to becoming the CEO of an international fitness franchise.

The punchline?

Studio Managers, CEO’s, or any high level teammate are NOT hired.

They are developed.

Let me illustrate this further..

When Tatiana and I first started out with our 1st Fit Body location in 2012, I was the bookkeeper, janitor, sales/marketing guy, and coach all wrapped up into 1.

Was it pretty?

No.

But we were on fire with passion to Inspire Fitness and Change Lives!

The rest, we figured out.

It wasn’t easy.

It took many reps, sets and many years.

But we kept progressing until 1 day I developed to a point where the Founder of Fit Body Bedros Keuilian offered me the VP and then the CEO role.

This didn’t happen overnight.

It took years of development.

My message to the audience and you?

Nothing in life worth pursuing is easy.

We all start out on the ground floor.

But with some passion, grit, and willingness to put in the reps and sets.

You can transform your fitness, your profession, your business and your life.

Just remember: people are DEVELOPED not hired.

[MM]: Opportunity. Not an obligation 🇺🇸 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Opportunity. Not an obligation 🇺🇸

Family! 🙌

Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Yes, that means it’s Murph Day.

But why?🤔

It honors the sacrifice of those beautiful souls who gave their life to protect our freedom.

After all..

Freedom is what our country stands for. 🇺🇸

Freedom is the gift that fitness gives.💪

The best part?

We have the opportunity to work on our fitness every day.🌟

This is 1 of the many reasons I am passionate about being a Fit Body Owner!

It creates freedom from depression and anxiety.

So while crushing your Murph workout.

My message today is to remember that you don’t HAVE to work out.

You GET to work out.💯

It’s an opportunity and not an obligation. 

Many souls like Michael P. Murphy, US Navy Seal paid the ultimate sacrifice so we could have this opportunity.

Please remember that today and always, which is my message.✨

Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

[MM]: Own It 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Own It

Happy Monday!🙌

Today’s mindset message is about leadership.✨

There’s a lot to the subject.

But at the core.

Leadership is about owning it.👊

Or in other words, taking responsibility for your actions.

Yes, the good, bad, and ugly.

To illustrate my point, I will share a story with you from last week.👇

Unexpectedly, Coach Tatiana and I received an apology letter from a former coach of ours.

He coached for us a few years ago at another location we used to lead.

Good-hearted guy but made some poor choices, became negative, dropped some balls, and then had an adverse reaction to accountability.

It wasn’t a fun situation or ending to his employment. 

It created friction for the team and clients.

Sadly, sometimes it’s how these things go in working with young teammates.

That’s the tough truth about leadership, and life.👊

To clear the air though.

Heaven knows I pulled a couple of not-so-smart moves in my mid-20s working on teams. 

So not here to cast stones.

In fact, here to do the opposite. 

It was refreshing for Tatiana to review the apology note.🙏

It was simple but effective.

He owned his actions and apologized for them with sincerity.

While it was nice to receive for us.

The biggest value was for him.🌟

He just gained perspective, growth and credibility with himself. 💥

This will serve him well in the future.

This is my leadership message today.

As a leader of self, you will make mistakes.

This is part of the growth journey.🌱

But when you do and you come to that realization..

Promptly admit, apologize and own the mistake.

When you do, you free yourself and others.

This is leadership and the best way to live.⚡️

Happy Monday!

[MM]: What’s even worse than rock bottom.. 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: What’s even worse than rock bottom..

Happy Monday!🙌

Last week I was in the studio with my business partner Bedros.

We recorded a few new episodes for the release of my newly branded podcast the “CEO Show” with Bryce Henson.

I’m excited for the release of the show on July 3 so stay tuned.👊

In 1 of the episodes, we talked about “hitting rock bottom”.

While that’s not a fun place to be.❌

Bedros said something interesting which I resonated with..

“Bryce, you know what’s even worse than rock bottom. Hoverging just an inch above rock bottom. That’s true misery.”

His comment stopped my in my tracks.

I had never thought of it that way.

But in an instant, I knew the genius of it.✨

It reminded me when I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol in December 2016.

While the experience of seeing a loved one in distress was horrible.

The painful event and the self reflection of my own demons around the situation created change.

It actually caused me to wake up and take action to remove alcohol from my life.

As a result.

I’m a better person and leader.🌟

If you can believe..

I’m grateful for hitting rock bottom.🙏

Rock bottom forced change.

While that was bad.

What was worse was the months that led up to that experience.

It was hell.

You see, Bedros was right.💯

Hovering over rock bottom was the true misery.

It’s a point of misery, just out of reach out action. 

Ahh!!!

Anyway, I was inspired by last week’s chat.

So wanted to share the story & takeaway to inspire you today.⚡️

So please remember..

Sometimes rock bottom is a better place than hovering over it.

As rock bottom forces change.

So if this is you, surrender to it and let the rebound begin.

In the case you need a change or just need someone to talk to, my team and I are here to help.

Just reply.

Happy Monday!🔥

[MM]: It’s not the size of the dog… 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: It’s not the size of the dog…

Happy Monday Mindset!

To finish off the quote from the headline..

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight.

It’s the size of the fight in the dog!

Why do I share this today?

I just connected with an old friend which reminded me of this motto I took on in my youth.
You see, I was a whopping 5’1 my freshman year.

I didn’t grow much further until my senior year.

Entering high school, I was the smallest guy in my class of 200+.

It wasn’t fun. 

I was insecure. 

I had to work 3x as hard in athletics just to keep up.

I hated it. 

However, it ended up becoming my super power.

Why?

It taught me work ethic.

It taught me the need to hustle.

It taught me grit.

It taught me I need to do what others are unwilling to do to become successful.

This has carried with me until this day.

And this is my message for you today.

No matter what “disadvantage” you think you have.

If you re-frame it, it can be a blessing.

After all..

Adversity is your advantage. 

So remember:

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight.

It’s the size of the fight in the dog!

Happy Monday and please share this with someone in need!

[MM]: The secret to life success 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The secret to life success

Happy Monday Mindset!

This weekend I was at the Limitless Personal Growth Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

I was there to support my business partner and Founder of Fit Body, Bedros Keuilian who gave a big keynote.

The topic of his talk?

How to launch and scale businesses which is his zone of genius.

After all, he is a world class business man and true American dream story rags to riches story.

His family escaped Communist Soviet Union in 1980, made it to California and lived in Section 8 housing and on food stamps.

From that start and fast forward 40 years later, he’s built a business empire.

Now as you would expect, he gave strong business advice. 

However, the key business recommendation consistent throughout his talk wasn’t what you would have expected. 

In a nutshell, his message was this:

If you want to grow a business or do anything important in life in the service of others.

It starts with you.

It starts with your health & fitness.

When you eat clean and train 3-4x per week consistently, this is the foundation for success in all aspects of life.

It’s the “gateway” drug to a happier, healthier and productive you.

Sound business advice.

Sound fitness advice. 

Sound life advice.

I hope you are inspired and take action!

[MM]: The quality of your life is dependent on this.. 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The quality of your life is dependent on this..

 

Happy Monday Mindset!

The quality of your life is dependent on the quality of your relationships & in the community in which you belong.

This was very evident this past weekend.

I spent it in Dallas Texas at my good friend Amberly Lago’s annual “Unstoppable Success Summit”.

She reached out a few months back and invited me to give an opening talk at the VIP event.

She inquired if Fit Body could also sponsor part of the event.

Without hesitation, the answer was an emphatic YES!

Why?

My relationship with Amberly.

Yes, it did make sense from a business perspective given the value of the sponsorship exchange.

But way more than that.

It was to pour into someone that has poured into me and our Fit Body Franchise Partners.

Amberly and I met a few years ago.

We hit it off.

She has an incredible story of almost dying in a motorcycle accident and now is inspiring men and women to live their best life.

Her message and book is called  “Grit and Grace”.

Respect.

Anyway, we shot some marketing content together.

She gave a world class keynote at our 2023 Annual World Conference last year to help our Franchise Partners & coaches with their adversity mindset.

So it only made sense we could support her.

This my friend is the power of building strong relationships and having a strong community to support.

The best part?

This is true in fitness, business and in life!

The deeper the relationships and community support, the deeper the life fulfillment.

After all..

The quality of your life is dependent on the quality of your relationships and the community in which you belong.

Make it a great week!

[MM]: The Parable Of Two Wolves 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: The Parable Of Two Wolves

Happy Monday!

My wife Tatiana sent me this parable and wanted to share to educate and inspire!

In a small village nestled between a forest and the hills, there lived an old man known for his wisdom. 

One evening, as the sun painted the sky with hues of orange and purple, he sat outside his quaint cottage with his young grandson, who always yearned for his stories and lessons about life.

“Grandfather,” the boy said, “tell me, what is the most important lesson for a person to learn?”

The man smiled and gazed into the distance, where the shadows of the trees were merging with the night.

“Inside each of us is a fierce battle that rages on,” he said. “It’s like two wolves constantly at war with each other.

One wolf represents darkness and despair—it is anger, jealousy, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. 

It thrives on our worst impulses and feeds on our failures.

“The other wolf embodies light and hope-it is joy, peace, love, hope, calmness, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity and faith.”

The boy, absorbed in his grandfather’s words, asked with a sense of urgency, “But, grandfather, if they are always fighting, which wolf wins?”

The man looked deeply into his grandson’s eyes and said softly..

“The one you feed, my child. The one you feed.”

My call to action today is to feed your inner wolf that embodies light, joy, peace and hope. 

Have a great Monday!

[MM]: Transformed People, Transform People!

Happy Monday!

The headline is what I taught my fellow coaches within the Fit Body brand this past weekend.

Why?

This is to ensure they take big focus on recruiting and developing their team.

After all, our coaches:

  • Create the experience and results for our clients.
  • Are the foundation of our Fit Body program.
  • Are our product here at Fit Body! 

This is why putting a giant focus on developing a strong has been our focus for years. 

It’s a huge reason for our client, business and brand success.

This is why our Mission Viejo team of full-time coaches and a group of 140+ coaches from other Fit Body locations across North America united this past weekend in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

We executed our 18th Elite training and was the best 1 yet.

We learned, we grew, and we connected.

My brother Barrett, Executive Director of Coaching, let an incredible experience.

It was a GIANT win and our brand got better. 

My message today?

Transformed People, Transform People!

When you get fit, healthy, and active.

You transform yourself and then can transform others.

This is the ultimate way to pay it forward.

Happy Monday!

[MM]: You are what you eat 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: You are what you eat

Happy Monday!

The old adage is true.

You are what you eat.

Think about this.

What you consume, you become.

Literally.

The tough truth?

Most people spend very little time considering what they input in their body.

They are on a “SeaFood” diet.

They “See Food” and eat it.

As a result, a staggering 80% of our population is statistically obese or overweight.

The worst part?

This is the surface problem.

The root issue of obesity is emotional, physical, and financial damage to the individual and society. 

The cost is enormous.

While that’s the problem.

The good news?

There is a solution.

In fact, this is why the Fit Body Franchise exists.

To inspire fitness and change lives every day!

My April No Fool Message today is this.

Be intentional on your food choice.

Remember: what you consume, you become. 

Literally.

80% of the time choose clean nutrition.

Protect your body with whole foods, lean proteins, veggies and H20.

80% of the time avoid processed foods filled with sugar that leaves you sick.

The other 20% of the time. 

Enjoy within reason.

Need help?

My friend and Fit Body Nutrition Coach Darrlynnn, shot a video to provide you with The BEST Foods at Costco for Weight Loss Meal Prep.

The goal is to educate and inspire you. 🙂

PS This is just an example of the value we provide for our Franchise Partners and fitness clients within the Fit Body brand.

As you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
