In my post, My Road to 15,000 Visitors, I laid out my plan to get to 15,000 visitors in December 2009.

I didn't make it. But I got close, thanks to you all! Thank you very much!

The site got 13,833. If I added in all the visits to this blog, I easily made 15,000 for "hits" to Muscle-Build.com sites. That's pretty good.

While I didn't make the actual goal, I'm glad I set the bar where I did.

Sometimes, you gotta try something so ridiculous just to see what YOU CAN DO.

If you always work within your comfort zone, you'll never make a breakthrough. I definitely made a breakthrough with last month's goal.

As is customary for me, when I make an all-out effort, I then take a moment to relax. January is that month

If I get better results in January than in December – that's awesome. But if I don't, I will not be heart-broken. February is the month we make another MAX attempt!

• Day 1 Arnold Expo Today is Day 1 of the Arnold Sports Expo. I got in really late last night so I didn't get much sleep. Fortunately, the Expo doesn't even open until 10:30 so it's going to be easy to make it on time, even though, as I wake, it's nearly 8:30 (I......

• How to Reach 15,000 Visits in One Month Last month, I pushed you to visit Muscle-Build.com, hoping to get past 10,000 visitors. This month, is it too much to ask to try to get to 15,000? Is it doable? Certainly. Is it likely? No. Sadly, I have to average 483 visits over the course of the entire month.......
• How Adding Two Largely Neglected Exercises Have Allowed Me to Gain 15 Pounds of Muscle in 2 Months Guest post by Tank Armstrong Before we go into this any further, I would like to mention a few things. I am NOT a sports scientist or a physiotherapist. I'm just a ruthless experimenter. While years of reading have helped me understand the science behind what's going on inside my......
• Bodybuilding.com Press Release Hi all, I got this the other day and have just been too busy to write about it. But it's not too late. 2009 is going to be a long year, perhaps as long as last :) so there's plenty of time to work on your New Year's resolutions, one......

• What Is a Bad APR? I received an email from a reader who wanted to know what is considered a bad APR, but this is really the wrong question. Instead of focusing on what is a bad or good APR, you should be looking at the APY. Here's why. Focus on APY instead of APR.......
• How to Become a Millionaire in 10 Years Imagine in just ten years you could have one million dollars socked away in a high-yield savings account, spinning off enough interest to live comfortably for the rest of your life.  Short of hitting the lottery or receiving a lofty inheritance from a long-lost uncle, this might seem an impossible......
• 1 Month Late or Worse Curves by Credit Grade (July 1 Update) This is an update to my original 1 month late or worse curves. I belive we are starting to see the flattening of the curves. I have pulled the public data on the performance tab by hand in order to produce a spreadsheet of loan performance. This spreadsheet was then......
• Personal Finance, Alternative Income And General Goals For 2009 I recently posted a round up of my 2008 financial goals. Due to poor planning I only accomplished one of my goals. The one goal I did accomplish (completing my condo down payment) was major. I did not lay out a plan prior to selecting my goals and therefore did......
• Housekeeping and housekeeping... I just mentioned spending some money yesterday and I have to admit that we've been thinking of another expenditure. Since I'm Lazy and I've been concentrating more and more on this blog and other side businesses, I've found that I haven't been able to keep up with some chores around......
