Put $u=c^{-1}-1>0$, so $c=(1+u{)}^{-1}$. By Bernoulli's inequality, $(1+u{)}^n\ge 1+nu$, and henceMore explicitly, for $\epsilon >0$ choose an integer $N>1/(u\epsilon )$. For $n\ge N$, the right-hand side is less than $\epsilon$. Thus the geometric sequence has limit of a sequence zero, either directly by the definition or by the squeeze theorem.
