The one and only 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.

Fridays are doubly special, though. 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!

Last week, Erica bragged on a well-received pitch, and for being considered for a professional race car driver position! How amazing is that? Kim shared her newly launched self-showcase. Linda dropped in just to encourage us! And Neenz bragged on Ryan Ozawa for his many Hawai’i projects. Erica, Kim, and Neenz, thanks for bragging! And thanks for the encouragement, Linda!

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.

    Bragging about my 90 yr old father who continues to teach me in deed: success is the small steps forward.

    Jeanne, that is a well deserved honor. You have been a rock solid chamber supporter for years, and your latest website overhaul is outstanding! Congratulations!

    Barbara, I am so touched. Congratulations, Barbara’s Dad. You’ve definitely raised a keeper.

    I’m bragging myself because Barbara called the Brag Basket “a long-standing Twitter tradition.” That made me smile!

    First of all, congratulations, Jeanne for being Chamber member of the year! And Barbara, I admire your relationship with your father.

    I’m happy about my interview w/ Chris Lynn being on the SocialTNT blog today. But even better was the hour or so of conversation we enjoyed before and after that three-minute video we taped. Very bright, talented and creative young man, and I like that he bragged about his boss, Todd Defren, who is someone I respect in the PR business.

    Connie, thanks for cheering everyone on! Congrats for the interview and the wonderful time you had doing it. I think you could have a great time anywhere! :)

    An interesting week all around! Progress on having a “best of” series of my podcast being picked up by a large learning disabilities website; great social media breakfast with Jeff Pulver; Community project I thought was going to flounder got greenlighted today; Educon 2.0 last weekend has caused big ripples all for the good- it’s been a busy but positive week all around. Not to mention over $500 collected on my autism in China project so far. Thanks for the chance to “brag” a bit, and to feel supported. You are the best!

    Whitney, what an amazing week for you! I really enjoyed your live comments from Educon on Twitter. So many positive movements on so many projects! Sometimes your hard work seems to pay off at once. Congratulations, and drop back in anytime!

Howdy!
