A moving Brag Basket

BySmall Biz Survival

The Brag Basket is our tradition of sharing. The basket is always free and open all weekend, this one March 15-17, 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 the things, you’ll be fine.

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

  1. I’ll go first. After a long and frustrating process, Small Biz Survival is officially moved! Yay! (I still ask your patience as I rearrange the furniture and unpack boxes, but it’s good to be here.)

  2. From our economic development office in Norfolk County, we’re bragging about winning an Ontario (provincial) marketing award for our Recipe Book which celebrates local food, farmers and chefs. Each recipe was submitted by a local farmer or chef, then tested by a team of volunteers. Each recipe was then carefully plated and styled, then photographed by our graphic designer Tracy Haskett. So the recipe book has an aura of passion, love and respect for Norfolk County agriculture. We are so proud of this prestigious award!

  3. The last two weeks have found me in Webster City Iowa leading the small business champions … As exec. Director of the chamber. I love it here and look forward to working with amazing people, making a difference and waving the rural flag.
