If the Brag Basket was art, it would include a self-portrait

By Small Biz Survival

Basket artwork by studiobeerhorst on Flickr

The Brag Basket is open! This one is for April 17-19, 2015. Bring your good news to share with everyone. It’s sort of a self-portrait of good news.

What can you do in the Brag Basket?

  • introduce yourself
  • share some great news from this week
  • congratulate a friend
  • applaud for each other
  • confess your undying love for rural places

How do you join in?

Below this post is the comment section. Add your good news there.

Reading this in your email? Hit reply.

Don’t like to brag? Just share some good news for yourself or a friend.

Just don’t make it an ad. I delete the ads that people stick in here. If you talk more about the people involved than the things, you’ll be fine.

It’s a conversation with friends. So jump in. And remember to cheer for each other.

    Hey, my new Moo cards are in! I’m headed to speak and listen next week in North Dakota and Tennessee, so I’ve been eager to get my hands on them. The backs are all reminders of the power we have to shape the future of our towns:

    Over on Facebook, Robin Englehart-Bagley said, “I started my own small business! Hiking gear rentals – BadAss Outfitters. Stopped commuting to the larger town an hour away.” Congratulations, Robin! Love that you’ve been able to cut the commute, and what a great name!

    Shake It Up Business Solutions said, “We have a Food Truck Festival tomorrow on First Ave in Mission, British Columbia It is our first one in Mission and we are super excited to test some tasty treats!”That is terrific! Congratulations, Mission! Hopefully the first of many tasty festivals.

    Bryan McCoy (who I get to meet in person next week!) said, “Held this fantastic event today
    http://www.marketplaceforkids.org/grafton ” Wonderful! Congratulations to you Bryan and Cavalier for getting more kids exposure to entrepreneurship early.
