Put your goals in the Brag Basket

By

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.

  5. 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!

  11. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  18. @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!

  19. Congratulations, Ricardo! That is an outstanding start to the year! And thanks for cheering everyone on. That’s the spirit of the Brag Basket.

  21. 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!

Howdy!
