When you join a co-op you are guaranteed affiliates on your team but you are not guaranteed an active team.

To belong to a co-op gives you a basis to build on - you have to work at keeping them active and encouraging them.

At the moment I do not belong to a co-op yet but as soon as I can I will join to strengthen my team.

The affiliates you have in your team is they key to your success as much as your guidance and support is the key to their success.
