Share your good news in the Brag Basket

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, Kay Bell was excited to get copies of magazines she wrote for. Shashi was back, and thrilled with his first online TV experience, Jonny’s Par-tay. He had a great message, “The message I hope to get across is help others to help yourself and achieve your dreams in steps.”

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.

    Hello all! My compatriots and I have launched a new website today. Been working on the design for a while now, and I’m pretty darn pleased with it. Take a look if you have a moment, and if you like it, send the URL to your friends! Thanks!

    Thanks, Linda! ((((hugs)))

    I’ll brag this week, too. Our guest post by Sam Carpenter on small business mistakes has been a big hit, getting a bit of attention on several different sharing site. :) Congrats to me, and to Sam!

    And I have to brag on SXSW. Are you excited? I am!
