You can find eager Money Club members among your friends, business associates, neighbors, or even online. Anyone who is interested in improving her financial life is a good candidate for The Money Club.

When choosing new members, keep the following in mind:

• Invite Motivated People
  Choose people who truly want to make changes in their financial lives and are willing to make an effort to learn and grow.
  
  

• Choose Positive, Supportive People
  Don't invite people who say, "It can't be done." Choose people who will support others' dreams and goals. Avoid naysayers and negative people.
  
  

• Leave Junior High Behind
  Avoid factions and politicking. Choose people who want to work together toward financial independence, not gossips or backstabbers.
  
  

• Spread the Word
  Anyone can benefit from being in a Money Club. Although the concept was intended for women helping other women, men can form their own clubs or join co-educational clubs. With adult supervision, teens also can benefit from joining a Money Club. You may find that more people want to join your Club than can comfortably fit in your meeting area. Perhaps you can help them start their own Club at another location or time.
