Brag Basket is waiting for you

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.

Last week, we heard from MacPhilly (@phillymac), Gloria, Mark, and Sheila. And special thanks to Stacy, Marti and Marco for helping me out, by cheering for everyone in the Brag Basket! 

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.

    Hi Becky:
    We’re loud and proud on our work for a local small biz called Nutrisport – Full Potential training. We have helped a very smart business person Ryan Irwin…work “on the business” vs. being so immersed “in the business” and have given him a blog based corporate presence, a company intro video, and have coached him in some entry level ways of the social media world. We’re proud of this work and proud to help a fellow small business here in Iowa.

    Thanks for listening!

    Hi Becky, it was great seeing you at Blog World. You deserve a brag for a great presentation. Along with the other panelists, it was one of the best sessions at the conference. I really liked the handout too. Great job!

    I want to brag on Mom today, too. (You know, Glenna Mae, aka Maesz.) She has been invited to be a presenter at the next entrepreneurship seminar/conference at our local university! Go, Mom!
