The Brag Basket builds community

By Small Biz Survival

Each Friday, I open the Brag Basket for the weekend. 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.

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.

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

    @eMom Wendy Piersall of Sparkplugging shared her brag on Twitter:
    “Here’s some of my biggest news ever – I am going to be on the @TodayShow next Tuesday talking about moms, home business & social media!”
    Woohoo! Congratulations and a round of applause, Wendy!

    The Referral Key blog is proving to be a big help to a lot of small business owners. I also made some great friends like Beck and Kim, on Twitter this week.

    I like the idea of the Brag Basket.

    Stop by and say hi at Referral key.

    I’d like to brag about Donna Maria Coles Johnson, a friend and business coach from the Indie Beauty Network who encouraged me to embrace video promotions. I created a video which will promote the Summer issue of my eZine (www.letsgetsoapy.com) and I’m really proud of it!

    It’s so exciting to find a new, very inexpensive way to advertise, especially for a biz on a shoestring like mine! Thanks Donna Maria!!
