Boost Productivity and Avoid Burnout Using John Briggs 3.3 Rule

Most people are still working the same 40-hour workweek introduced just under 100 years ago, and gym owners often go way beyond 40. In fact, many work closer to 80 hours a week. This can quickly lead to burnout—a killer of small businesses. In this episode of “Run a Profitable Gym,” Two-Brain founder and CEO Chris Cooper is joined by John Briggs, accountant and author of “Profit First for Microgyms.” The two discuss John’s latest book, “The 3.3 Rule.” In the book, John pushes back against the idea that entrepreneurs—and their teams—should work until they drop. Instead, they can maximize productivity and avoid burnout by structuring their workdays into periods of focused work and breaks. The structure is incredibly simple but effective—and it’s backed by science. John wrote the “The 3.3 Rule” because he was tired of seeing small businesses close shop; he wants to help entrepreneurs preserve the energy and focus they need to build stable, profitable businesses.Links"The 3.3 Rule"Gym Owners UnitedBook a Call 0:35 - Inspiration for the 3.3 Rule8:23 - 3.3 Rule breakdown16:48 - Implementing the 3.3 Framework25:08 - 3.3 Rule and balance31:29 - Challenges with the 3.3 Rule
