Focus on the Members!

[Keith T. Brown]

First of all, I want to thank Annie for her posts that were very
helpful and informative.

I've just come across a statistic that was very interesting and got me
very excited:

The average person knows 250 people directly. So, I thought this means
that those people know about 250 people...see where I'm going with
this? My goal for this group is to get 10,000+ members for my group,
and I don't think that this is impossible if you consider the
following:

If one person tells five people to join and those people tell five of
their friends to join, and so on...it would only take it would only
take 7 generations of people to get 5 times my goal of membership.
Consider this mathematically if you take yourself (1) and multiply that
by 5 (the five other members that you get to join) you get five, now
add yourself to the group, because you're the original member...there
are now 6 members; or written out it looks like, (x*5)+x.

Now substitute "x" with 6, our new number, and you get 36 (which is
the third generation) because you and a friend got five more people to
join! Check this out - I ran it through Microsoft Excel:

1 Generation = 1 person
2 Generation = 6 people
3 Generation = 36 people
4 Generation = 216 people
5 Generation = 1,296 people
6 Generation = 7,776 people
7 Generation = 46,656 people *and I was just trying for 10,000 people
;).

Do you think you guys could get five other people to join my group?

Isn't that exciting?!?
