We’ve got it - a North Idaho Cash Flow Club.

Over the past few months I’ve been pondering the idea of creating a Cash Flow Club. I’ve watched them in other areas of the country and have felt that the Coeur d’Alene area is in desperate need of a Cash Flow Club.

So, I’m taking the ‘bull by the horns’ and going for it. The North Idaho Dream Team will be sponsoring a Cash Flow Club in Kootenai County that will be starting this month, March. As we narrow down the location, time, day and other things, we’ll update everyone.

In the mean time, if you are interested in participating in the North Idaho Cash Flow Club, please let us know ASAP. Anyone that expresses interest before the club is officially scheduled has input on day, time and possibly location.

If you would like to co-sponsor the club, let me know.
