If you looked for an investment club in your area and could not find one, I have to say I don’t think you were looking hard enough.

For example, after somebody told me that they couldn’t find any investment clubs in Charleston, South Carolina, I Googled it and got several results. On the list of contacts there were two clubs in Charleston, SC, the links to Web sites and several phone numbers. When you have so many numbers to call, you will certainly find someone who will point you to the club in your area.

By the way, I know about Charleston because I went to high school in Dillon, SC. I will bet you any amount of money that in the city the size of Charleston there is at least one investment club or association.

When you face a relatively simple problem like that, start with using Internet search. What if you are not into using the computer? Learn it and get to like it; in our time not using the Internet would be quite a disadvantage. What you really need is to get enthusiastic and more determined to find the answers.

What partly helped me develop that type of attitude, was that every time I was looking for answers and ways to achieve my goals I did it as if it was the matter of life and death. If you can learn to have this kind of attitude, you will get anything done. Well, it is hard to imagine a gun to your head and a time limit to come up with a solution of a problem, but if you look at the mental side of things you would admit this method of self-motivation could be quite effective.

My advice to you is – be proactive! Start with the Web, get any related information, write down all available numbers and call them. Even if you don’t find exactly what you are looking for, you would still make useful contacts in the area and eventually find what you were looking for.
