Brag Basket where you cheer

By Small Biz Survival

Each Friday, I open the Brag Basket for the weekend. This weekend, I’m in transit. So I’m asking you to take the lead and cheer for each other.

This is 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.

Think that bragging is a bad thing? Read how Tony explains 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! Make it personal, and not just an ad. 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.

    Becky,

    You know, I read this every week, and finally, I will brag today. My blog got listed on the AdAge Power 150 this week, about halfway up the list. Very, very respectable. I’m always proud of my little blog that could, but this week I admit it–I’m grinning from ear to ear. Extra proud.

    Regards,

    Kelly
