What’s your story? Brag about it!

By Small Biz Survival

brag basketHave a story? Something great happen this week? Feeling like a superhero? Brag about it! You can brag on your business, your community, or your self. You can even brag on other folks, if you want.

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.

Last week, Marti bragged about a very nice review on her hilarious book. Susan bragged about refining her pitch. What will you brag about this week?

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

    Becky – could you share brag about The Age of Conversation book? That’s a pretty darn good thing to brag on, for all of those involved.

    Thank you!

    I think you just did, Phil!

    If you’ve managed to not hear about it, The Age of Conversation is a terrific group book project including so many of our friends that I can’t list them all! It started as an audacious goal, and it is receiving tons of great publicity.

    Congratulations to all of you who have contributed! It’s a wonderful project!

    Thanks for the brag on The Age of Conversation because I’m a part of that too.

    I’d like to brag on all the wonderful people I’ve met through blogging, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Some, like Phil, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person. And others like you, Becky, are in my “must meet up with someday” category.

    Connie! You are worth a brag unto yourself!

    Do you realize why you’ve met such great people online? Because you reach out, and you make yourself the hostess of your own party. That’s a sure way to attract good folks to you!

    […] Last week, Phil bragged about The Age of Conversation book, and Connie joined in, too. She also bragged on the wonderful people she’s met online.
