Show your true colors in the Brag Basket

BySmall Biz Survival

The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one September 9-11, 2011.

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

Don’t hold back because of that word, “brag.” When you hold back, you hide your good news and accomplishments that might inspire others.

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, or catch me on any social network and share your thought.

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.

  1. Well, of course, the BIG THING this week is that as of today, Tourism Currents has been in business for two full years.

    Yay, us!

    Thanks for being such a marvelous business partner. You’ve taught me so much. :)

  3. Congrats Sheila and Becky!

    I’d also like to brag on a friend who has an exciting opportunity in front of her (just can’t be made public quite yet). Although the task may seem daunting at the moment, I know she will come through it and soar to her next level of success!

  5. Hi, y’all!

    I’m Kathleen Jaffe, and I’m a long-time reader but first time commenter. :-)

    I’m just here to introduce myself. A longterm employee, working for Fortune 500 companies, I’ve made the decision that it’s time to use my powers for good. I’m currently kicking around ideas for starting a business, probably in the social enterprise area (that’s ‘social enterprise’ as in doing well by doing good; not ‘social’ enterprise as in FB or Twitter).

    I’m not sure yet exactly what I’m going to do, but seeing as how I live in a fairly small town in Tennessee, I figure this site will be like a second home for me once I figure it out and start moving along. :-)
