Brag Basket – Treat yourself!

By Small Biz Survival

It’s Friday, and it’s time to treat yourself to a round of applause. Simply choose one thing from your business this week, and brag about it in a comment. You can add your brag all through the weekend; no closing time!

Why do we do this for you? So you will take the time to review your work week. The best way to future success is to examine your performance regularly.

Go ahead and brag! We promise to applaud!

    Hi Becky.

    I worked with a partner and raised over $8000 for a first-time event, convincing people to support a free event for a bleeding-edge technology, and learned so much about the true long tail (grass roots) that I can probably build a business out of my learnings.

    I’ve got 4 excellent podcasts being run by the brightest and most passionate people I’ve met this year, and I’m proud to know everyone involved.

    My family’s loving and supportive and I’m proud of my wife and two kids for understanding that I’m crazy in the best of ways.

    I’ve got lots to brag about. : )
