OK, So the FBI, The CIA, The Secret Service and officers of any other protection agency can breathe normally, this is not about weapons of mass destruction, minimal destruction or even anything as harmful as Listerine (Kills Millions Of Germs, Right?)

I am instead going to expound upon the power of geometric progression as a means to making money. So, why the Atom Bomb reference? Well, the atom bomb works the same way - split the nucleus of an atom, two high energy particles are released, they encounter two atoms, these two atoms split, four high energy particles are released, these strike four atoms, and so on...pretty soon you have this unreal energy release (many would call it an "explosion", but it is simply a rapid release of energy.)

Albert Einstein said: "Compound Interest is the most powerful force in the universe." And that is why the atom bomb does its massive energy release thing. Smart guy, that Einstein.

So, you say, "I can make money with this?" Yes, dear reader, you can make money with this. If you can find a business or a business compensation system that allows increasing your benefit by a power of two per period, you can get very, very rich; even in as little as 30 periods. And, everyone knows that you run a home business from your kitchen table, right?

Why 30? Well, did you every hear about the puzzle: "If I gave you a penny on April 1st, and doubled it every day until the end of the month, how much money would you have? The answer is: over $10,000,000.00, on the 30th day. (All you spreadsheet geeks out there, figure out the doubling value times 30, or 2**30 for you programmer types. Hint: Don't forget to multiply the answer by 0.01 . I gave you a penny, not a dollar!)

OK, you stayed with me this far...I found a MultiLevel Marketing business that uses a binary method of registering users; that is, you have one new member on your left, one on your right and the third must go below one of them. Sales at all levels below a member result in volume, and that volume accumulates UP the tree. So, if the guy at the bottom sells one product, and the guy above him sells one, the third guy up sells one and he sees 3 sales in volume. The second guy sees two sales in volume, the bottom guy sees only his own volume. Every time a member signs up someone below him, the new members volume adds to the upline. People you never met, 5 levels below, add to your volume.

AND, now this is important to you and me, there is NO CUTOFF at any level below me; I keep the volume of everyone below me. So, if I sign up two members in a month, and each new member signs up two new members in a month, and so on, in 30 months you might have your $Millions.

REALITY CHECK: people will drop out, and people will just sit on the opportunity and not sign up two others. 30 months per million dollars is possible, but not on the minimum effort by the minimum number of people.

OK, smarty pants, how can you do the millions thing, huh? That's not that hard to figure out.

Anyhow, it involves three parts:
1) Don't give up signing people after you sign up just two. Try to sign up two per month.
2) Teach, prod, cajole, convince and LEAD by example for the people below you to sign up two per month.
3) Recruit people who are hungry, who want their business to succeed and who are willing to do something EVERY DAY to make their business grow. Not just your lazy brother-in-law or your next door neighbor or all the 18-year-olds on your son's football team. The best recruits have been in an MLM before!

I figure, if I could sign up just 3 people per period (4 weeks, 8 weeks, whatever a "period" is) then I will be able to stay ahead of the "quit curve." I figure 50% of the people will drop out within just 3 months.

BUT, just like those atomic physicists determined how to get more bang out of their atom bomb (I will leave the knowledge of the difference in a hydrogen bomb from an atom bomb as a pedagogic exercise) you may find that SOMEONE DOWN BELOW YOU MAY DO REALLY, REALLY WELL.

In my MLM (a real company, by the way) several people have done REALLY, REALLY WELL. And the members above them realize incredible volume because of it.

So, how do you find one of these big winners?

That, dear reader, is the subject of a future blog.
