Help fill the Brag Basket

By Small Biz Survival

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

Last week, Jeanne and I were the ones to brag. Jeanne “OkieJ” bragged on our great trip to hear the Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor speak in El Reno. I bragged that our little group of Okies was celebrated on Feb. 9 at Here’s to Good Women.

Fridays are doubly special. We are also celebrating Frozen Pea Friday for Susan Reynolds. I encourage you to join me and donate the cost of a bag of frozen peas (or more) to cancer-fighting research at the Frozen Pea Fund. Then come brag about it!

Regular brags on any topic are still welcome!

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, or DM beckymccray on Twitter. There’s no deadline, so you can brag anytime during the week, and I’ll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

    Hi Becky,

    I went to the Small Business Technology Summit and got to meet some great people and report about it here: http://www.shashi.name/2008/02/advice-to-small-business-backup-use-crm.html . I also met Barry Moltz Author of Bounce (http://www.shashi.name/2008/02/meeting-barry-holtz-who-asks-how-do-you.html)
    I am bragging because if the company you keep is smarter than you then one day you will become smarter :)

    I want to brag on a very special person, Ed Roberts. He’s one of the kindest, most gentle guys I know. Very busy husband and father is always taking the time out to make sure of others well being.

    He podcasts daily. He works hard at his job and cares about how it affects his friends and co-workers. No matter how tough that gets he’s always there to listen.

    So I brag. ;)

    Chel, terrific choice! Ed is one of those amazing people. I’ve just added him to my Twitter, and look forward to getting to know him, too. Thanks, Chel!

    I would like to brag on my business mentor James Brausch and his Freedom Business System. His teachings have made a real difference in my life.
