Brag Basket is back

By Small Biz Survival

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

This week, I won’t be here to cheer you on, so it’s up to you to cheer for each other. So if you don’t like bragging, why not jump in to offer some encouragement? Thanks!

Will you put something in the Brag Basket this week? 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. There’s no deadline, so you can brag anytime during the weekend, and I’ll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

    I’d like to brag that my company signed on two new clients this week – despite being one of those weeks were something went wrong to cancel out anything that went right :-)

    Congratulations!

    Two new clients in one week is very good.

    Sorry, that a few things went wrong, but, really, 2 clients should make-up for a lot. Congratulations, again!

    I would like to brag about my first appearance in Cosmopolitan (Sept 08). I was interviewed for the article – Reclaim the girl you left behind. My name, website, and quote are included in the article!

    Becky, thanks for the opportunity to brag!
