Summary

Invest in training and life to achieve your goals and find happiness and meaning.

Andrew & Niki explore how training - and other worthwhile pursuits - are investments and how you can conceptualize and weigh the worth of these investments.

Conceptualizing in Investments

What is an investments? Without looking at a dictionary, it's an input or sacrifice of something where the investor expects a greater result than the input. The investor gives something up for a future result that provides more value.

We too often think only of money when it comes to investment.

You can earn more money but never gain more time. When you spend money on a professional, such as a coach or service that helps you learn a skill, you are spending money to save time.

If you train yourself you are coaching yourself. If you invest in the time to learn how to become a coach, that is an investment. If you fail to do this, you're probably a bad coach and will find you stall early.

When you think about investments, you need to think about your deep whys. You should be investing time and money in things that are actually important to you, that bring you value. Invest in training if health, toughness, and strength are important to you.

Andrew brings up 8 major elements of life in which you can invest:

things that help you become better at using your mind
physical health
emotional
relational
finances
professional
philosophy/religious/spiritual
artistic (subcreation)

A good investment is important to you and should positively affect all or as many of the above as possible (sleep is a good example).

Invest in Training and Life

To train, you must spend time, effort, and money.

You must set aside time to train. You must purchase equipment or a gym membership. If you decide to go ultra-rugged and not purchase any equipment, you need to spend some time finding heavy rocks and other creative ways to train productively using your bodyweight and what you can find.

Training comes with pain. You must undergo discomfort to progress. If you don't train, however, you will experience the pain that comes with inactivity (the idea of beast over burden really gets after this).

Investing in a coach is an investment of money that saves you time - both in terms of having to learn how to be a coach and likely following a more effective program and thus progressing faster toward your goals).

Invest in training. Invest in life.

0:00.0	Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how
0:07.4	now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money
0:10.5	you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to
0:14.8	discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes
0:19.3	for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of
0:23.0	our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real
0:27.8	life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal
0:31.9	barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they
0:36.5	are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they
0:40.7	care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that
0:45.6	price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for
0:48.9	something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully
0:53.0	deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they
0:57.3	invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that
1:01.8	you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds
1:05.9	like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to four
1:10.8	workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will
1:14.9	give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is
1:20.2	it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself
1:24.7	and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about
1:28.7	on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are.
