The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one June 1-3, 2012. Have some good news this week? Put it in the Brag Basket.

Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others. Even though I call this the Brag Basket, it’s not really about bragging. It’s about sharing.
What can you do in the Brag Basket?
- introduce yourself
- share some great news from this week
- congratulate a friend
- laugh about something wonderful that you tried that failed
- applaud for each other
Speak up and add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. 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. We all cheer, and everyone feels great.
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.

This is a great “bragging” week! I now have agreements to have my book “Ask Without Fear!” translated into Spanish, Polish, AND Dutch!!!
I’m loving the reach this book will have!
Marc, that is great! It’s great for you, and great for the people who’ll benefit from the book! (Unsolicited testimonial: if you need to raise money for any cause, you need to get a copy of Ask Without Fear! It’s a short book, packed full of valuable how-to information.)
Wow. Thanks! :)8
