BIGG Tip – Where Do Great Ideas Come From?

Bjorn Ulvaeus wrote Abba’s hit song, Take a Chance on Me. The idea came while jogging – the rhythm of his steps screamed the words: “Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance, chance, chance. Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance, chance, chance.” He turned his time away into a song! Your mind works while you recharge. Like on a jog. There’s a chance it will lead 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.
