The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one September 27-29, 2013. What good news will you add to 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.) If you talk more about the people involved than thethings, you’ll be fine.
It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.
Last week I had a great breakthrough / an a-ha moment, at a Rockefeller Habits workshop organized by Pieter van Osch and presented by Verne Harnish.
Here I learned about hyperspecialization and hyperfocus. Harnish mentioned two examples of companies that successfully used hyperspecialization. That was the moment I saw it too.
I can use this technique to become really specific.
Wednesday I mentioned my new promise to a former clients. And she became really enthusiastic. “When can I become your clients for this?”-type of enthusiastic.
So now I am working on integrating this promise into my business. Specialize on one type of client, one tool and one results.
Once this is done (soon) I will share what this promise is. :)
Congratulations, Erno! Sounds like it is drawing a very positive reaction.

Thank you for bringing this one, Glenn. Recia has been a big asset for Northwest Oklahoma. Happy retirement, Recia!
I’m John Cameron a professional business coach since 2001.
I’ve written a book: ROCK SOLID – How to Strengthen Your Company it’s an easy to read fable about the Company Strength Program. That’s my brag. It’s a highly effective program that helps entrepreneurs make the shift to company owners. Entrepreneurs bring business ideas to life while Company Owners build profitable organizations for Mangers to manage.
If Entrepreneurs don’t make a sufficient transition to the Company Owner mindset their companies will grow to the point where they aren’t strong enough to process the business they are trying to process. Symptoms will accumulate and eventually cause an avalanche that drags them down into The Valley of the Lost Entrepreneurs.
The Company Strength Program makes a remarkable difference in just 90 days.
Congratulations, John. That’s a tough shift for entrepreneurs to make.
