Give someone a pat on the back in the brag basket

By Small Biz Survival

brag basketEach Friday, I open the brag basket as a fun place to give someone a pat on the back, brag, or promote yourself and your projects.

Last week, we had a flood of wonderful brags, compliments, and comments! What will you put in the Brag Basket this week?

You can brag on a friend, your own project, yourself, others, anything! You don’t need special permission or anything. Just leave a comment right here. There’s no deadline, so you can brag anytime during the week, and I’ll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

    This week I am proud of myself for solving a troublesome tech issue that has been plaguing me for months. I was able to get my CD/DVD working again by actually editing my Windows Registry. (I know, it is SCARY!)

    Anyway, it worked and I’m proud of myself for doing it.

    I set up my first blog today lauriereyes.blogspot.com/I think I’m going to talk about my son the king and great local foods in Waynoka. No one has ever heard of Waynoka so I guess its a good place to start.
