In a perfect world you would never have to recruit any more than 2 people. If you recruited 2 people and everyone in your team recruited 2 people a day in 11 days you would have a team of 4,092.

You - Day 0
2 - Day 1
4 - Day 2
8 - Day 3
16 - Day 4
32 - Day 5
64 - Day 6
128 - Day 7
256 - Day 8
512 - Day 9
1024 - Day 10
2048 - Day 11

The problem is we do not live in a perfect world but if we focus on professionals and more businesses minded people instead of broke unempoyeed people our chances of this working will be increased.

This "perfect world" scenario can never work, nor do you want it to.

Because if you did, you'd have to recruit every person in the world in just a few weeks.

Then, what would the people on the bottom do?

Nothing, because there'd be nobody left to recruit.

And then the whole thing would unravel from the bottom up.

After 70 years of MLM history, haven't we learned what "geometric progression" REALLY means... and, more importantly, what it doesn't?

Want to make a "safe bet" in MLM? Here it is...

You will most likely recruit more people into your organization than anyone else.
If you just think about that for a while, you'll see that it's exactly right.

The key thing the majority don't get is they stop at their first two. You have no way of knowing which 2 will build like that! You must be thinking bigger than 2! But eventually you do create what your represented there.

Great response Kaleem.

My goal is to always recruit more people than anyone else... leading from the front is how it's truly done.

Keep on recruiting and set an example for your team. They look at you for guidance and do what you do. Some will do nothing others will recruit 10 or 20. That is life.
We are talent scouts, the more people you recruit the more talented people you will find.

Perfect world, well, the fact is that numbers never lie, numbers always have a perfect answer, but humans, we are not perfect, it is why the perfect world will never happen...really? well, understanding the numbers is VERY important, although it may never happen perfectly, by following possible projections, and understanding the progression of numbers, you can be pretty close, maybe not in 12 days, but, what about 12 months? Even 12 weeks?

One of my coaches and mentors went from zero to 10,000 members in 6 months, no previous network marketing experience, and this was BEFORE the internet, of course, his example is an exception, but if there are exceptions, can we duplicate it? I think so, As for myself, the fastest I have got to 1,000 people as example was twice (two different companies starting from zero) in 4 months, eventually going over 50,000 people, I did not bring huge downlines or anything else, it is just an understanding of numbers..and a system.


Yes, the perfect world does not exist, but the numbers just illustrate the potential of the what if, and what I ask myself is, what if I can get pretty close? Of course, action is necessary, and more important, a system that is simple to duplicate, and of course, making sure that the system is easy to adapt to your payplan...

Meanwhile, what if in the example only 10% happens, 409 people in 11 days... what if it is 11 weeks, even in 11 weeks, what would it happen to your paycheck if you have in 11 weeks 409 new people?

What if.....?

I feel it's best to go for the average joe rather than professionals and business minded people. Basically the average housewife is much easier to train than a business minded professional and their 'why' can be much stronger. Generally though, your target market should be anyone with a BURNING DESIRE!

If their desire is strong, someone in a tight situation financially who might also be broke and unemployed can grow a massive business for you. Don't ignore these people.

In a perfect world, nobody looks at the attrition rate. If 4,092 joins in 11 days, and on the 12th day, 4,090 drops out through attrition, where would you be?
Case in point, my partner and I was in business together in selling phone services. I had a phone service and he wanted me to join him in his. I dropped my service to join his. Later, I told him about another service that was better. I dropped him and his plan as he dropped his plan to go somewhere else too. Now, that whole industry went under with the coming of the cellular phone popularity.
Building a strong team of relationships will stay with you longer. They know what you are about, trust you and follow you in business. Your enthusiam and inspiration will keep them after you and they will promote you to their friends. Now that's a real world experience!

Where do you all think the balance lies between focusing on expanding your team, and actually focusing on selling product? After all, don't you think it's easier to show somebody the benefit of your business if you can actually talk with them about the amount of product you've sold? I feel like that puts you in a better place to train them to do the same, thus increasing their chances of success.

There seems to be so much focus on growing business through recruiting, but the bottom line is that if people aren't selling product, they'll just be adding to the statistic of the 'non-active' people in the business. Where do you think the balance should lie between selling whatever it is your selling, and recruiting?
