Share good news in the Brag Basket

By Small Biz Survival

It’s Friday, and that means the Brag Basket is open for the weekend. 

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.

    Wow! Congrats, Barry! That’s suuuper!

    My achievements for the week?

    1.) My own t-shirt biz is now on Twitter! It’s @fromatotee.

    2.) I posted a new content on my business site: http://fromatotee.multiply.com/photos/album/57/Rayas_Postcards_from_Camiguin. It’s about @rayadoll’s adventure in one of the most breathtaking islands here in the Philippines!

    My brag… did a press release Tuesday and already gotten a call from a reporter with one story in the works!

    If you need a press release written I’d highly recommend Perfect Pitch Public Relations on eLance.com

    I’ve started a weekly audio podcast: “The Caged Ox Follies”. I’ll get back to you with a Web URL; for now it’s only on iTunes. It’s a blank slate for now. I have some ideas for future avenues.

    Props to a neat company that is quickly creating a niche on the internet and now in the brick and mortar retail world . . . how far will it grow? The customer will dictate that. For now we are just having fun with the concept!

    At Indy Car race at Richmond Raceway last night, we served (and sold) 6 funnel cakes per minute for over 5 hours. Thankfully I had some really good help.
