If you looked for an investment club in your area and did not find one, I would think you were not looking hard enough.

Recently somebody told me that they couldn’t find any investment clubs in Charleston, South Carolina. So I ran a search on Google and got several results. On the list of contacts there were two clubs in Charleston, some links to Web sites with several phone numbers. If I tried to call so many numbers, I would certainly find someone who would point me the right direction.

As far as Charleston, South Carolina, is concerned, I know a lot about the city because I went to high school in Dillon, SC. And I would bet you any amount of money that there is an investment club, or association, there; in the city of that size there will be at least one.

Always start with using Internet; you will find out that a problem you are facing is simple. What if you are not comfortable around computers? Learn how to use one, especially the Internet; not doing it nowadays is quite a disadvantage. What you really need is to get enthusiastic and more determined to find the answers you need.

What helped me develop the attitude of determination, was telling myself that finding the answers and achieving my goals was the matter of life and death. When you can learn to imagine yourself in this kind of situation, you will be able to do anything. It is hard to imagine, of course, that someone is holding a gun to your head and gave you a time limit to come up with a solution of a problem. But look at the mental side of things - don’t you think that 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.
