Join An Inventors Club To Get First Hand Experience With Success

An inventors club is by far the best way for inventors to get real information and feedback on their inventions. Inventors clubs exist in nearly every state in the US and in many other parts of the world as well.

Some of the advantages of joining an inventors club include:

1. Networking with inventors of all skill and accomplishment levels
   
2. Hearing speakers that are successful in their niche of the inventing process
   
3. Finding partners or service providers
   
4. Keeping you motivated to succeed
   
5. Associating with like minded individuals (Let's face it, not everyone understands what an inventor goes through)
   

To find an club in your area take a look at the list below. This list may not be comprehensive but should be a good start in finding a club near you.
