Bragging is just sharing

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.

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! 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.

    Thistle Cove Farm will be featured in the June July issue of Country Magazine. I kept a weekly diary for them and a professional photographer followed me around for the week to capture it all on “film”.

    Hi, Becky.

    Thanks for the reminder about Braggin’ Friday.

    I’m excited to be able to tell you that the Business Startup Success Club is now accepting applications for charter memberships. Starting in mid-May, I’ll be working with 10 women in an intensive 3-month training and mentoring program designed to teach and support them as they begin their new businesses.

    Perhaps you’ll be available to join one of the sessions as a guest instructor?

    Good for you, Sheryl, and even better for the women you’ll be helping! Sounds like an exciting project, and I’d love to talk with you about it! Congrats!

    The whole group who worked on the #Hutch trip need a big brag! Cody, Janet, and Jim, and a whole bunch of other folks I’m forgetting who worked on putting the trip together. Chris and the crew at the Cosmosphere, and everyone else who made us feel welcome at place after place. Everyone who greeted us with a smiling face. And of course, everyone who took time out of their schedule to participate. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Howdy!
