MRR Club Experiences

[sailormatlac]

My experience of real mrr club is second hand. As you said, a lot of members, but still only a fistful doing all the work and making it real. Most enjoyable and interesting clubs in my area are rather small with only a few motivated members.The larger club in the area have lots of members, but the more people put together the more personnality conflicts emerge.

My "club" is a cooperative thing. Three people decided to collaborate together to make what they couldn't achieve alone. I'm a dreamer that needs to be directed, the other one is very pragmatic that needs a creative spark, the last one is a calm fellow eager to be challenged. We complement each others. No membership, no fee. We pay the bill as needed and by the end of the year, we balance the investment done so each member's contribution is equivalent. We once tried to expand with new members and it was a total failure. The new members didn't shared the same interest, same commitment and goals. You can't force a heart to love! We returned to our original formula with success after. Like you, I'm a lone wolf most of the time, but I find it refreshing to have a few fellows sharing the same dream as me. They forced me to rationalize my efforts. I owe them a lot.
