Each week, I open the Brag Basket. It’s designed as a fun place for you to share your projects and accomplishments. But you can also cheer for other people, give shout outs, congratulate, and even give someone a well-deserved pat on the back.
As we launch into a new year, why not put your goals in the Brag Basket?
The Brag Basket is open for everyone, whether from a small town, a big city, or anywhere in the world. (But it’s true that I love small town brags!)
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, and you don’t have to be from a small town. 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.

Thanks, Jeremy. Now, join us with a brag. It can be for yourself, or for a friend.
Invoiced for my 1st social networking expert consultation of the year!
Hooray, Todd! Congratulations! I expect to hear about many, many more from you this year. :)
I’ve had a great week! Launched the sale my new e-book (with a giveaway going on right now!)as well as a Blog Showcase, where anyone can show off their blog! 2009 is going to be a year of successes.
This is a great idea, thanks!
Kimberlee
Yay Kimberlee. I hope your e-book takes off.
I’ve also started a Rockstars page – http://www.toddrjordan.com/thebroadbrush/rockstars/ and hope it takes off as well.
Cheers.
Congrats, Kimberlee! I applaud your Blog Showcase idea. Here’s to all the successes in 2009!
Todd, I just signed up on your Rockstars page. :)
This is a great idea. My first brag is for Todd Jordan who pointed this out via Twitter.

Greg, I agree. Todd is excellent at connecting people, and he always shares the link love.
Great idea, and love to Todd for the link to the Brag Basket.
I’ll brag that I’m now Twittering (@AnnRan5) and it’s quite enjoyable. And in general I’m just looking forward to a great 2009 with a continued stream of pet portraits to create.
Howdy, Ann! You are, I think, the first pet portrait artist in the Brag Basket. Welcome!
Wow Todd, congrats! You’re on fire now, friend.
Kimberlee, what an awesome way to launch the New Year. Good luck.
After two years of seemingly floundering, I have a focused direction for this year. I’m so energized!
Following Chris Brogan’s lead on 3-word goals for the year, here are my goals for 2009:
1. Focus
2. Perseverance
3. Optimism
This is going to be one great year, for sustainability, for my company, and for me personally.
Go, Glenda, Go! Amazing what a difference focus can make. It will be awesome!
Peter, sounds like you’re off to an excellent start! Here’s to many resounding successes in 2009!
Thanks everyone that showed up because of my tweets. Cheers to a great new year.
@Becky: There are a few up and coming conferences I might be invited to speak at (I’m ironing out the details). That makes for an exciting start to a new year for me!
Hope 2009 rocks for you!
@Kimberlee: congrats on the launch of the new e-book!
@Todd: congrats on the first invoice! Wishing you many, many more to come!
Congratulations, Ricardo! That is an outstanding start to the year! And thanks for cheering everyone on. That’s the spirit of the Brag Basket.
I just want to brag up the entire Twitter community that came to the rescue of my good friend Michelle Vandepas @DivinePurposeMV a few nights ago when her e-course was borrowed by another blogger and put on the other site as a free download. You can checkout what happened doing a Twitter Search or use this url http://search.twitter.com/search?max_id=1095484625&page=2&q=DivinePurposeMV Special thanks to @tojosan, @BeckyMcCray & @ChrisBrogan

Vicky, that is a great thing to brag up! Lots of people gave Michelle tips, contacts, or support as she worked through her initial response. Hooray for community, solving real problems!
Actress/Producer Melinda Augustina shared on twitter that “in 2009, our comedy goes out to millions of US cable viewers.” WOW! Stop by her site at http://threefifty.wordpress.com/ Cool!
Vicky, Todd Becky.. The twitter community was awesome. Blog post coming tomorrow about it.
