Brag Basket – Your chance to share

By Small Biz Survival

brag basketWelcome to the Brag Basket, your chance to share.

Leave a comment, telling us something great from this week. We’ll all applaud for you and celebrate your successes with you.

Splendid failures, those great attempts that should have worked, are welcome, too.

You can brag on your business, your community, or your self. It doesn’t have to be something HUGE; just something positive you feel like sharing. Feel free to expand a bit, use a few paragraphs. Tell us something meaningful, and we’ll happily applaud.

The goal is to encourage you to review your week. Learned anything? Made any accomplishments you’d like to share?

The Brag Basket has no deadline, so don’t wait. Brag now!

    Me first! Me first!

    This week, an online contact reached out and offered me a wonderful paid writing opportunity! How nifty is that?

    It just seems like people have suddenly been seized with the desire to send me wonderful things online! :)

    Woohoo!

    I got a very nice book review for my book of humor essays!

    Thanks for letting me share my excitement!

    Great thing happened to me this week. Because of Chris Brogan & Connie Reece I found Becky McCray, who then put me onto the http://www.15secondpitch.com/ website.

    I’m still refining the pitch but the application is really helping me hone down onto what I need.

    Celebrating Becky & other twitter / facebook connections!
