If THE GOAL is to get 2,100 nails hammered into a wall, but you are restricted and able to hammer only 15 nails per week... How many weeks will it take to achieve the goal?
Please answer the question, and describe the process used to find the answer. THANKS.

OK. I'll admit it. I'm not really interested in hammering nails, anymore. As a Drywaller it took me less than a day to pound 2,100 nails into the walls.
The REAL GOAL is to find 2,100 people who like beef jerky, and enroll them into Jerky Direct's "monthly" Autoship program. The question was asked in an attempt to find an easy way to illustrate the income potential to people who are thinking about working as Distributors.
2,100 Autoship Customers equals 2,100 sales per month.
(Each sale produces $2.00 commission for the Distributor that enrolled the Customer.)
2,100 sales per month
x $2.00 commission per sale
= $4,200 Residual Income per month
How long will it take to reach that level of income?
140 weeks... assuming 15 Autoship Customers are acquired each week for 140 consecutive weeks, and no one cancels their order.
