What do you think it might mean, have you looked up "realm" in a dictionary?
 
While the dictionary's open, note the pronunciation. The word shares its derivation, but not its vowel sound, with 'real'.

I opend another dictionary. Pronounciation does not sound like real. Even though at first I tried to pronounce it like "Realm".

Meaning is - Domain, region, Kingdom. Do they have any mening to the above sentence?
 
Try this definition:

"the region, sphere, or domain within which anything occurs, prevails, or dominates:"

Do you think "chance" might have this type of "realm"?

So, if anything occurs = business

difference is = Business sucess.

Can we rewrite the sentence "The difference is within the realm of chance"
 
I don't understand what you are trying to rewrite, or why "business success" is supposed to equal "difference is."
 
This is the first time you have mentioned business in this thread. It doesn't appear to have any relevance at all to your original question.

Sorry, I made it worse. I just tried to make a different example to make it easier to understand.
