The Brag Basket is always free

By Small Biz Survival

What wonderful news will you choose to share? The basket is always free and open all weekend, from February 25-27, 2011.

Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing. It’s here so you can introduce yourself, share some good news, or congratulate a friend.

Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. We all cheer, and everyone feels great. 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, email me, tweet me, or comment on Facebook. You tell something great about your week, or you give applause to someone who did good stuff this week. Or you celebrate something wonderful that you tried that failed.

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.

    Dropped in from the Outright entrepreneurs forum… my first brag, so fairly general…

    I quit my job last May and while the bank account got pretty low for a few months it’s growing again thanks to steady business laser engraving iPads. Right now I’m praying that the new one Apple announces on Wednesday doesn’t force me to find a new business niche, but if it does I’ll just have to find one.

    Hi, Sara. Welcome to the Brag Basket. I’m sure you can be adaptable, no matter what Apple does. Congratulations on your successes so far!
