Put your project in the Brag Basket

By Small Biz Survival

brag basketEachFriday, I open the brag basket as a fun place to give someone a pat onthe back, brag, or promote yourself and your projects.

Last week, we had some great brags from Diana, Grant, Chaz, Alexis (for Action Coach), and me, and we even had cheers from Marco! Isn’t that fun?

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 commentright here. There’s no deadline, so you can brag anytime during theweekend, and I’ll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

New to SmallBizSurvival.com? Take the Guided Tour. Like what you see? Get our updates.

    My online sales are really starting to increase (opened online shop 6 weeks ago) and now am really looking forward to going to the Paris Maison D’objet fair on Sunday to do lots of buying.
    a great blog here, great tips and hints. By the way, I live in rural Ireland, married to a dairy farm.

    Congrats to the folks today for their achievements!

    I just got an email that says it looks like I’ll be helping teach FEMA about Web 2.0; I’m so psyched that they are leaning forward and appreciating the advantages of social media technology.

    Pick up a copy of my new book, “How to Market, Advertise and Promote Your Business or Service In Your Own Backyard,” (Wiley) – Available at bookstores everywhere. This book details a 10 point, step-by-step, marketing plan written specifically for business owners in small towns and rural areas. Also check out my web site (www.smalltownmarketing.com) were you will find 400 pages of free articles and tips. What you will NOT find there is affiliate programs, advertising or get rich quick schemes. Everything is totally free.
