If your box is profitable but you are unhappy, that is not sustainable. Money does not yield long term joy. If you are happy but your box is not profitable, that is not sustainable. Passion has a shelf life. The goal for your business should mirror the same fitness goal CrossFit helped us develop: increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains throughout the years of your life AND your business ownership. This is achieved only through reaching profitability AND happiness. Through the course of your affiliate ownership, you will experience peaks and valleys in both areas, however, the only sustainable route is one that seeks to optimize both profit and personal joy. Do you fall in one of these two categories? Are you simply unhappy and on the brink of closing your doors? Do you not know where to begin on this path forward? We can help.

When we encounter issues or inefficiencies with the way things work, we often find ourselves in one of two categories: 1. We are the person who complains about the thing that is wrong. 2. We are the person who does something about it. A few years ago in the world of CrossFit (and now expanding into the world of organized gymnastics) former information technologist, Eugene Blazhko, saw an inefficiency with the way hand grips were being approached...so instead of simply complaining about the rips on his hands, he did something about it. Tune in to episode 473 of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast to be inspired by the entrepreneurial dynamic duo of Eugene and Alex and how the company WOD & Done came to be.

High intensity is often misunderstood and is oversimplified in the definition of CrossFit. Intensity is not just how hard you go in workouts, it is the frequency with which you workout. If you think about it with respect to the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum, fitness is a hedge against sickness. Therefore, too much intensity will actually prevent you from pushing to the side of fitness. The same "constantly varied" you do in the gym should apply to outside of the gym.

One of the biggest frustrations from the patient side in our traditional healthcare system is that there seems to be a misunderstanding about what we do in CrossFit. One of the biggest frustrations on the physician side in our current traditional healthcare system is that there is no time to address root causes of health issues with patients or to develop a relationship with them. CrossFit Precision Care aims to bridge that gap by brining intentional guidance to CrossFit Affiliates.

We read an email today that sparked a conversation around whether or not box owners should charge for drop-ins. If it sounds ridiculous, that's because it is a little ridiculous. In this episode we give you some best practices as to how to best handle situations like this. Spoiler alert: it does not begin with you replying to that ridiculous email. Before you send any type of response (if you choose to send any at all), ask yourself: "Is this for me? Or is it for them?" The answer is almost always the former.

Affiliate Owners: your coaches want feedback. Coaches: If you are not receiving feedback, ask for it. If nothing changes and you become unhappy with your situation, then change it. You are not married to your affiliate. Mediocrity is achieved on both ends of this spectrum when communication falls apart. You didn't wake up this morning hoping to just do "OK" today. You woke up aiming to achieve great things. Level up your coaching staff to that same degree by offering feedback. In that same vein, coaches, if you are not receiving the feedback you desire, ask for it or seek it out elsewhere. Stop blaming your situation and everyone besides yourself. Take action.

"A lobster, when left high and dry among the rock, does not have the sense enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him. The world is full of human lobsters; people stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who, instead of putting forth their own energies, are waiting for some grand billow of good fortune to set them afloat." -Orison Swett Marden Do not be a lobster.
