BIGG Tip – Success Starts Here
Make a decision. How can you be more decisive? Make it a habit. Start with insignificant decisions. For example – let’s say you go out to lunch with some co-workers. When you pick up the menu, give yourself a time limit to decide what to order. Then be happy with what you get! Make a decision and stick with it. It leads to BIGG success! Get more tips from BIGG Success here.
Community Tours- We can help with your Professional Recruitment and/or Short- or Long-Term Rental Needs – Vermilion Advantage can help our members with professional recruitment by taking your new employees or employment candidates on a (free) Community Tour. We can also help your current or new employees with rental referrals – we keep a word-of-mouth list of available home and apartment rentals, also including some furnished short-term corporate rentals, that the public may not be aware of through other channels. In addition, we have some lovely extended-stay hotel suite options. And, if you have professional rental properties coming available, make sure Nicole has your property on her list! Questions? Call Nicole at 217-442-6201 or email her at nvanhyfte@vermilionadvantage.com.
