The WCRT exists to create an environment for financial independence through education, personal growth, and  the mutual assistance and support of a like-minded community of allies in the quest for financial independence.

The WCRT achieves its mission in a systematic way through our monthly general meetings The First Thursday of each Month at 7pm at the Waterford Banquet Center at the Quality Inn in Elmhurst, Illinois; at local WCRT Subgroup meetings in a variety of locations; on our online forums, our Investor Resources, and via our print and online newsletter and other special events held throughout the year.

The First Thursday of The Month

The main monthly meeting of The WCRT consists of four key elements, each of which provide the benefit of helping members overcome fears, improve themselves, and learn relevant information to take action in order to achieve financial independence—Make Money! 

Presentation/Workshop — Each month The WCRT brings in a featured guest to be interviewed, or present, and/or facilitate a  workshop.  When you participate you will get an opportunity to mine the gold from some fantastic business owners and investors.  Over the years, WCRT members have heard from silent millionaires who live next door, high profile success stories, and everything in between.

Say It In Six — The Six Minute Presentation is where our members have an opportunity to take the stage and shine. The purpose of the six minute presentation is for us to each get a short lesson on some concrete topic or skill. Members have learned everything from how to actually give a six minute presentation, to how to have a great lawn, to how to get boxes of Mud & Bugs breakfast cereal for free!

Bring Your Burning Questions — We tap the mastermind to overcome key frustrations, and provide answers to members burning questions that very night which brings members to a place where they can take confident action in the direction of their goals that they didn’t think they could take when they arrived that night.

Relationship Building — This is where the formal meeting ends, and the networking begins.  Members often stick around for hours, talking and expanding our contacts long into the night.

WCRT Subgroups

Throughout the month, WCRT members meet in a variety of locations in various subgroups each with its own purpose, or focus. New subgroups are springing up all the time, but here are the current outstanding opportunities in the area each month: subgroups
