BIGG Tip – The Secret of Peak Performers
They enter a “flow” state (Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience). They completely lose their sense of time and enjoy the task at hand with effortless concentration. While hard work and dedication help them achieve this, there’s another important piece of the puzzle: They make time for hobbies! So make time for your hobby to be a winner at work. 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.
