BIGG Tip – How Can you Overcome Self-Doubt
Turn on your winner’s switch, says author Pam Slim. Just like a light switch turns dark to light, your winner’s switch flips you from doubt to confidence. Say you have a difficult task. Recall times when you’ve succeeded with similar tasks. Focus on them until you’re positive you can do it. Get a confidence boost by turning on your winner’s switch. It leads to BIGG success!

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.
