Step 1
Determine your needs. There are literally hundreds of different self-help tape programs available on the market. Are you looking for advice on love, money, or job success? Narrow down your focus to see what you really need.
-
Step 2
Talk to others. Self-help tapes have helped millions around the globe. Log onto forums or a chat site to see what others have to recommend. Be honest about what you are looking for and you’re sure to find someone who’s of the same mind.
-
Step 3
Check the library. Many popular development coaches and professional advisers have their self-help tapes stored at the local library. Even if your branch doesn’t have what you’re looking for, have a chat with the librarian. You can probably get the series ordered.
-
Step 4
Check eBay and other used sites. Some of these self-help tapes and CDs go back a number of years. There’s no need to buy anything new if the original product still works.
-
Step 5
Consider doing away with tapes and CDs altogether and simply download what you need. Some coaches have their own installment programs, whereby you can download chapters of books at a time for a small price.
-
Step 6
Once you’ve found the series you’re looking for, don’t listen to it as gospel. Try to get a second, third or even fourth opinion before following any advice.
