Strongpreneur & Personal Trainer Ted Ryce has had the pleasure to train celebrities such as Ricky Martin, Robert Downey Jr. and Richard Branson. He also works with many top level CEO’s & entrepreneurs to help them reach their life and fitness goals. But, things weren’t always smooth for Ted. He’s had to overcome several rounds of personal tragedy in order to reach his levels of success. “It’s just to show you that ANYONE can overcome tragedy and succeed in life. I’m living proof that YOU can succeed too.” In this episode of the SPN Podcast I ask Ted questions like: What did you learn about yourself from all the tragedy you went through? You’ve been a fitness trainer for 17 years and worked with celebrities and some top CEO’s…are there any habits or mindsets that jump out at you from these top performers? What surprised you most about working with Richard Branson? You’ve got 5 minutes before you go on stage to give a talk that will save humanity from their troubles….what would be your main points? If you could only do one exercise for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Subscribe to the full podcast here. Scott on Social Media Facebook You Tube Who Is Ted Ryce?

Leadership is a topic that you’ll find an endless supply of information on. Here’s a little bit of my take and a few reasons why you should stop calling yourself a leader. 1. You continue to not reach goals Each year you set goals in your business and each year you fall short. A true leader wins. He gets results. You can have a great game plan, good players and a ton of support…you can even be a real likable guy. But, in the end..you will be judged by the results you produced. 2. You want credit I have a large ego and want credit. I want the world to know that I’m doing good! Real leaders don’t want the attention when things are going well…they point to their people and give them credit. The only time they should pull the attention on themselves is when the team fails. 3. You don’t create more leaders Because you’re the center of everything, others can’t grow to their full potential….AND THEY LEAVE!A real leader will find, develop and keep talented people. 4. Your people don’t feel safe Simon Sinek’s talk “Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe” says it best…so, Google it. The bottom line is that if the environment is right in your organization your people will feel safe. There are many things in the world coming after your people…many threats in their lives. A true leader will sacrifice her own comfort, opinion or position in order to provide safety for the people she serves. The leader sets the tone…How do you measure up? Which of these resonates with you most? Is it time to level up your leadership skills for entrepreneurs?
