info_outlineBuy back your time with a professional coach. Coaching yourself means less progress in the gym and more time learning to become a coach.
Buy Back Your Time: Grocery Delivery Example
You probably need to value your time more. Too often, people avoid certain purchases because they deem them as too expensive. Sometimes this is true, but often buying back your time - a non-renewable resource - is the best thing you can do.
Grocery delivery for most people is a no-brainer. You spend little money to avoid the headaches and time needed to go to the grocery store.
Mowing services for grass are another great example. If you do not enjoy doing these tasks and need more time, pay money to someone who will do it for you to earn back your time.
Buy Back Your Time: Home Gym
Having a home gym is another great way to save time working out. In this case, you will probably also save money over a long-enough period of time.
Don't wait for equipment, don't worry about the broccoli hair Zoomers, lift when you want at your house.
Buy Back Your Time: Professional Coach
This is really the benefit of hiring a professional coach. An expert takes something off your plate, allowing you to not worry about it. That expert will move you to more progress than you otherwise would have gotten. Additionally, you do not have to learn some level of the expertise.
Any time you decide to "do it yourself," you are taking on the burden of learning a certain skill that someone else is an expert or professional at. Sometimes, the task is quick, so it's fine.
You should consider buying back your time, however, by hiring a professional online coach.
