Law of Averages or Load of Bull?

I was listening to Jim Rohn today, and he made a point that hit me. I’d heard it before, but today there must have been a Velcro patch or something in my brain, and it stuck. There is a lot of potential to this idea, and I thought of a way to put it into action.

Here’s the email I sent to a heap of people. I’d love to hear what you think.



Hi. I hope this finds you well. I have a favor to ask. I’m doing an experiment (actually I have a bet with a co-worker) with what he’s calling the Law of Averages.

Here’s the deal. I started in a home-based business in June. The target is to get to the point where I can do that business full-time and be home with Lynn and the kids without sacrificing food, clothing and shelter. A noble goal and I’ll get there eventually. The business is a cool travel website and is promoted through direct sales and multi-level marketing.

Okay, I know that the second you mention Multi-level marketing people’s eyes glaze over, they think “AHHHH, Amway! Run for your life!” and head for the hills. The good part of all of this is that I’m taking an internet approach to presenting this. I don’t trap people into awkward situations and jam my presentation down their throat until they scream, or anything of the kind. I’ve found a way to do it so that everyone has a chance to just say “no” without any hard feelings or guilt.

Here’s where the Law of Averages discussion comes into play. My friend argues that you can reliably predict that there will always be 2-3 people out of 10 who will watch the presentation and decide that they want to become involved. I counter that such generalizations can only be made about a random population, and that my address book is far from a random sampling.

So I’m making this leap and sending this out to people in my address book. Okay, I have two favors to ask. If this seems way out of line, and you want to delete me from your email life, favor #1 is please forgive me and refrain from mocking. Favor #2 is this: Please pay a visit to my web site at http://www.EarnAFreeVacation.com and watch the presentation there.

If Brent is correct, 2 or 3 out of ten will decide to get involved. If that’s the case, I need the other 7-8! So even if you think it’s crazy, I need the numbers to make the argument. Make sense? Not to me either, but help me out here, okay? When you have some time and can sit in front of your computer, just visit the site, and watch the presentation.

And thanks for taking the time to read this far.


So that was it. I am eager to see what sort of response I get, and I’ll post the results here as they come in.
