There is value in finding a personal coach who will hold you accountable. What if your budget can’t swing one, though?

Whatever your situation, you can benefit from a personal coach, whether they’re real-life and tangible or virtual. For you, we’ve cobbled together this personal coach hybrid with six tactics for when a personal coach is not in your financial cards.

Personal coach alternatives

1. Books

In our heart of hearts, nothing beats the books. We do most of our reading in bed just before lights out to unwind and disconnect. This helps us fall asleep faster and sleep better. Below are some favorites.

2. Facebook groups

Learn to love Facebook, again. Facebook groups offer all sorts of support and education. Whatever you need, there’s a Facebook group for it. Below are some of our current favorites.

3. Podcasts

We recently moved into a new building full of independent entrepreneurs and thinkers. The one common practice they all have is they all listen to motivational and educational podcasts.

Podcasts are a good alternative to YouTube and offer unique interviews with amazing people on a wide variety of topics. Our favorite podcasts challenge us to a new way of thinking and keep us positive. Below are some of our favorites.

4. YouTube

YouTube is full of inspirational and motivational videos. Rather than listening to music in the background when we’re working or driving, we listen to motivational videos. Whether we’re paying full or partial attention, we get something out of them and they keep us positive and focused. Below are a few of the channels we watch.

5. Apps

Apps are a great resource for alternative personal coach solutions. They get as close to customized as today’s robots can get. Our phones are with us 24/7, and some of these apps are as good as having a personal coach in your pocket.

6. LinkedIn groups

Like Facebook, but on a professional level, are LinkedIn Groups. LinkedIn groups are especially good if you’re looking for career guidance or networking. Some recs:

The six ways above are all the tools we’re using to keep our personal and professional goals on track. They aren’t the customized solution a human personal coach gives, but they work for those with a limited budget and limited time. If you have limited resources, try these alternatives.
