Brag Basket every Friday

By Small Biz Survival

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

Last week, we had a special edition to give thanks. Randell Fever gave thanks for Mrs. The Fever! An anonymous friend gave thanks for friends and family and more. Jeanne “OkieJ” was thankful for spending time with far-away family.

What will you brag about this week? It can be your business, your community, or your self. You can even brag on other folks, if you want. It’s fun, and you get a link back, not to mention applause from us.

I use the Brag Basket as a reminder to review my week. How did I do? Did I act on my goals? Did I build relationships? I recommend you review your week, too.

You can leave a comment right now, or dm beckymccray on Twitter.

    this week I want to brag on the Waynoka BPW. We chose Ruth Caldwell as our woman of the year. She is 95 years young and was a working woman back when women couldn’t even think about workplace equity. I posted an article and photo on this web site.http://www.americantowns.com/ok/waynoka

    I don’t usually blog or comment about clients, but this week was especially fun/challenging/exciting as I got to work on this: http://www.bsgalliance.com/convs/show/1439

    While they’re working with large enterprises, I love the way you use the same principles here for small businesses. Collaboration – an age-old concept made exponentially more powerful by the disruptive force of the Internet.
