BIGG Tip –3 Steps to Feel More in Control in Uncertain Times
(1) Discover: What do you want your life to look like? What’s most important to you? What are your strengths? (2) Design: Share your vision and values with the people closest to you. What do they expect from you? (3) Develop: Test an idea. Does it bring you closer to the life you really want? If “Yes”, keep doing it. If “No”, try something else. 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.
