COMMENTS
The AR Community averaged 5,091 comments per day this last week. I love seeing that number in the 5's rather than the 4's and I challenge us to get it back up in the 6's. The conversation as to why the comments have been down has sparked many posts which I hope have inspired others to get back in the mix and comment more. I know your comment interaction can make … (59 comments)

success stories: Marching Into Success - 03/02/12 04:13 PM
Helllloooooo RAINERS!!!!!
We averaged 4,728 posts per day this past week. Almost mirroring results with the comments; an average of 4,789 comments daily. I do have a question though, why is the commenting down from say last Summer or Fall? We were more in the 6,000 range. Anybody have any ideas out there? Blog posts are up but commenting is down.
Ron Barnes had the most pageviews of the last week with You Can't Fix Stupid. With over 200 comments he leads the week with the most commented on post as well. Gold star for you buddy!

success stories: No More Excuses, Success Can Be Yours - 02/24/12 02:41 PM
I had a meeting this morning and it's left me jazzed and excited. Can you feel the wind from my jazz hands over there? I'm pumped about the possibilities available to all of you here on AR. Staggering results come from AR every. single. day. And it can be yours. There are probably some newbies out there thinking "where do I even start". Don't set too broad of goals for yourself, set daily goals for yourself and execute.
Do things like: Set up Google+ account, (imperative to SEO results...much more to come on this). Write a 500 word post about (your … (77 comments)

success stories: Success in the January Rain! - 01/27/12 03:19 PM
There are days when our inboxes seem to never empty, the phone won't stop buzzing, deadlines are on the horizon and you don't even have time to use the bathroom. You respond to a few emails and fix a few bugs and you feel like you haven't even made a dent. These days can get a little stressful.
I find it very soothing to remind myself of something good in the near future. Whether it's going out to dinner with a loved one or a trip that isn't too far out it's good to remind yourself of life's qualities; the "why" … (35 comments)

Let us decide on the route that we wish to take to pass our life, and attempt to sow that route with flowers. ~ Madame du Chatelet
What a fancy quote. It paints a picture of 2 paths....one is dark with low hanging branches, dead leaves crinkling under your feet with potholes, large uneven ground and not a ray of sunlight. The other is brightly lit, lined with beautiful green trees and colorful bushes of tulips and lavender filling each grassy knoll. It's up to you to make your path to success a beautiful one.

In just under a week many of you will be sitting around a table breaking bread with your loved ones and sharing the things you are thankful for. Thanksgiving is a great reminder to give thanks and make those aware who have helped you in one way or another. I'd like to share a few things I am thankful for this year:
The love this Community so freely gives to one another. In times of dark sorrow, desperate need and low points I have never seen such a wonderful outpouring of compassion from a group such as those that make up … (30 comments)

The Friday before Halloween weekend and it's scary how much success is happening out there in AR land. It is spooky how referrals roll in and out of this place.

success stories: Success in the Rain, Let it Rain Baby! - 10/21/11 04:45 PM
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us" ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
So what lies inside you? What are you capable of? Do you have that restless feeling inside of knowing you're capable of doing more? As we all know, life it short...too damn short. Do not waste another day. Use the strength and fire inside you to accomplish more today!
These beautiful blondes below have had serious success by lighting that fire within! And they probably had more fun doing so! ;)

success stories: Autumn Success is Here - 09/23/11 02:40 PM
With the first day of Autumn upon us, I am drifting off to thoughts of all things Fall. Leaves covering the sidewalks, fireplaces burning orange, grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners and of course what to be for Halloween! I hope you leave behind a Summer of success and look forward to finishing off 2011 in a record-setting way. The year is not over yet, there are still 3 months to hit your 2011 goals and make it a great year.
It is reasonable that a man should be something worthier at the end of the year than he was at … (39 comments)
