Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others. Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing.
What can you do in the Brag Basket?
- introduce yourself
- share some great news from this week
- congratulate a friend
- laugh about something wonderful that you tried that failed
- applaud for each other
Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. It lets you meet each other a bit. Reading each others’ stories brings us a bit closer to being a community.
How does it work? You write a comment on this post. We all cheer, and everyone feels great.
This is not an ad. (I delete the ads.) It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

The rural small business blog. We talk about small town business, with how-to articles, especially on social media marketing and making your community a better place. We use this “author” for announcements and other things you’ll want to know.
I’ll start! I had a successful presentation at the Iowa Mueseum Association Annual Conference! Plus I got to meet @spashionista and her husband .l she’s an online friend of Glenda Watson Hyatt and a friend of mine. Love meeting online friends irl.
Yay, Deb! Both for the successful presentation and for meeting friends IRL. :)
Well done Deb :) I finally found a job after graduating last year and it’s using my degree rather than just a job for a job’s sake! Yay.
Yay Deb on your successful presentation! And on meeting @spashionista. Next meetup…Nashville! :)
Ellie, congratulations to you! That’s a big step!
Been meeting with a local SCORE mentor on how I can use my skills in web design/development and online marketing to help my hometown of Sapulpa begin to shine again. He’s helping me with some connections and I’m really excited to see how I can begin to help my community retain some of it’s former glory.
Micah, I love this! You make a difference.
It’s been awhile! I have two brags about my friends and collaboration partners Sherice Ajifu @sherice_ajifu and Dana Kagawa @dana_kagawa for launching their blogs that chronicle the journey of their personal passions.
In all of my speeches I talk about the requirement to have courage to participate in the socialsphere. They co-founded a company Moxie3 Innovations, LLC that promotes just that — courage.

Welcome back, Neenz! Always great to see you. Congratulations to Sherice and Dana! I love to see people use their courage.
I spent an hour on the phone today with an incredible lady called Susie Zeitner, owner of Z Glass Act. You can find her business on line. She is a fantastic entrepreneur who used her artistic talent to build a business of custom light fixtures and artistic creations for the home. Beyond being a cancer survivor and losing her husband unexpectedly, she has not just survived, she has thrived. Check out her beautiful work on http://www.zglassact.com
That sounds lovely, Michael. Thanks for sharing Susie’s story with us.
A couple of things this week. One of the blogs I run, http://androidroot.me , is closing in on 100 views a day! The other is for my business http://pentontechnologies.com which just landed another web design/social media management client. Things are looking good. Thank you for this. Have a Great Day.
