(I Got This Story From Scott Densmore)

People always talk about potential and how great it is. I was thinking about my potential and feeling a little realistic about it. So instead of ranting about it, I thought I would provide you with a little story to help you “get it”.
 
A kid comes home from school with a writing assignment. He asks his father for help. "Dad, can you tell me the difference between potential and reality?"

His father looks up, thoughtfully, and then says, "I'll display it to you. Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Next, ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then go ask your brother if he would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Then come back and tell me what you've learned."

The kid is puzzled, but he decides to see if he can figure out what his father means. He asks his mother, "Mom, if someone gave you a million dollars would you sleep with Brad Pitt?" His mother looks around slyly, and then with a little smile on her face says, "Don't tell your father, but yes, I would."

Then he goes to his sister's room and asks her, "Sis, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?" His sister looks up and says, "Omigod! Definitely!"

Then he goes to his brothers room and asks him, "Hey bro, if someone gave you a million dollars, would you sleep with Brad Pitt?" His brother thinks about it and says, "For a million bucks, I suppose I would".

The kid goes back to his father and says, "Dad, I think I've figured it out. Potentially, we are sitting on three millions bucks, but in reality, we are living with two hookers and a future Congressman."

MLM/Networking Marketing opportunities must be weighed against Potential and Reality. Extravagant claims of big money fast is not realistic. It takes time and persistent effort to reach your goals. As a retired Affiliate Marketer, I KNOW... been there--done that.

If you want a realistic business with realistic potential, I can point you in the right direction. The rest is up to you.
