The Doubling Penny $$ by Lisa G. Please read, you will love this! ~*~
The Penny That Doubled
I remember years ago, my brother, who loved testing my I.Q., approached me with this question. His question seemed to have a very easy answer.
The question was...baby sister, if you had a choice...would you take $1,000.00, in cash, today, or a penny that could double itself every day for 30 days?
Ofcourse, I thought quickly, give me the thousand dollars. I don't want a bunch of silly ole' pennies.
As most of you may have heard this story/ mathematical equasion, or you have been asked the same question yourself, I'm sure we all thought at some point or another, that a penny is not worth much. Well, true, maybe a few pennies, but what would happen if that penny doubled itself everyday for 30 days?
Truthfully, even after my brother gave me the answer, I did not truly believe it, after all of these years. I decided to take the time and prove it for myself. Well, I'm sure your great in math, and already figured it out. Since my math skills are not the best, I wanted to do the math manually. Take a look at this!
Day 1: $.01
Day 2: $.02
Day 3: $.04
Day 4: $.08
Day 5: $.16
Day 6: $.32
Day 7: $.64
Day 8: $1.28
Day 9: $2.56
Day 10: $5.12
Okay, say you decided to take the doubling penny. Are you getting worried. We are at day 10, and only $5.12. That does not sound too good.
Day 11: $10.24
Day 12: $20.48
Day 13: $40.96
Day 14: $81.92
Day 15: $163.84
Day 16: $327.68
Day 17: $655.36
Day 18: $1,310.72
Day 19: $2,621.44
Day 20: $5,242.88
Wow, what happened? Lol! In 20 days, the doubling penny has surpassed the 1 thousand dollar offer. What could possibly happen in the final 10 days?
Day 21: $10,485.76
Day 22: $20,971.52
Day 23: $41,943.04
Day 24: $83,386.08
Day 25: $167,772.16
Day 26: $335,544.32
Day 27: $671,088.64
Day 28: $1,342,177.28
Day 29: $2,684,354.56
Day 30: $5,368,709.12
Unbeliveable!!! I thought so too! I hope you chose the "Doubling Penny".
Now that I have started trying to work from home and build a business on line, I was beginning to think a few cents or dollars here and there, were not worth my time. As many programs do give you the great opportunity to build downlines, and even work some programs for free, I have come to realize the value of a penny.
Wow, I would have gotten the short end of the stick, if my brother had been serious about this. $1,000.00 versus $5,368,709.12 dollars..ouch!
Once it is duplicated over and over, Wow, a penny is not something to make too much fun of anymore.
My point, work hard, build your teams, no matter what business opportunity(s) you are involved in. Once your penny starts to duplicate itself, you could just be surprised how much earnings you have the potential to make! Nuture your opportunity, nuture your team and downline. Help them to repeat your efforts.
As proven above, it can be very well worth your time.
Best wishes to everyone here on APSense! I hope your pennies will grow and grow!
There are my two cents for today! I hope you can double them all year long!
Sincerely, Lisa G Intimates

Hi Jeunelle. I'm getting over the hype stuff..lol. I was a sucker to it a few times. Glad I learned my lessons early on.
As far as Our Networks go, I wish I had known more about Social Network in the beggining. I think I've lost some of my network. They came, they advertised, and "VaMbOOSH" They are gone.

Thank you Lisa for showing us the value of a simple penny... it never ceases to amaze me how the simple things can ultimately multiply into something much greater.

Thanks for reading my blog, Lee.
It's so true, some programs work very well with only 2 referals. I think with any opportunity, time and patience is of essense to see things start to build.
Sounds like you are in a good business! 2 referals is not always as easy as it sounds, but it's certainly not impossible, especially with a great opportunity.
One program that I am invovled in, I only obtained 5 referals, and things began to take off.
I have been putting more effort and time int

They say the average person sponsors 2.7 people.
That isn’t true.
If it were, we would all have the exponential growth in your example.
That’s why I favor businesses that only require 2 personals to be qualified.
I know the average person probably won’t get their 2, but at least the have a chance.

Lisa, you are 100% correct when you said hard work, build a team and the penny's start to double and double and double. we have seen it happen in our ventures.
I have to laugh though, 20 years ago if some made me the same offer as your brother I would have taken the $1,000 but now if some offered me a fraction of a penny that doubled everyday I would jump all over that.
