Vermilion Advantage News

BIGG Tip – A Better Way to Define Success

Some define it by gaining possessions or position. But we like John Wooden’s definition better. He was a basketball coach who won seven straight NCAA championships. He said: “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.” It’s not about things or places. It’s about YOU, giving your all TODAY, to live up to your full potential. That’s 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.
