Tipping is a way of showing one’s appreciation for good service as well as serving as a portion of the income for the service professional. Yet, how much of a tip is considered “customary” for which service providers? We have compiled this handy list, by category, to help you.

We always talk about spring cleaning, and organizing our closets, but there’s something to be said for doing a little sprucing up for fall, too. This is the ideal time to clean out your summer wardrobe and replace it with your winter wardrobe. Check out a few tips below:
in good condition; toss anything that’s not.
Organize! Having your clothing in sections will make finding them a breeze. If you are feeling ambitious, you can organize by color – but just having separate pieces organized will make a difference.
After reading these tips, do you still need help organizing your closet? I recommend The Container Store to help improve the organization and appearance of your closet. Even with their boxes, bins, and bags, you still need TIME to do the organizing. This is where Premier Concierge can really help you. Organization is our specialty!
You can get more money, but you can’t get more TIME! Or so the saying goes. But is that true? In a world where technology affects everything, can we reclaim our TIME? Is there an App for that? Maybe, maybe not, but there are proven solutions to reclaiming your TIME.
As long as we continue to spend our TIME on tasks that someone else could do more efficiently, we will be limiting the profit potential of our TIME. We also limit the “joy factor” of our TIME. Are we spending the TIME we want with others; family, friends, associates?
Most people have a hard TIME delegating tasks after years of being in control of every aspect of their life. The assistants you hire, or outsourced help, can typically be faster and better at doing things than you are. This frees up TIME for more joyful and fulfilling activities.
Outsourcing will help you remain focused on the important things in your life, like quality TIME with your family, and relieve your stress at the same TIME.

The most important investments require TIME. Setting and achieving a resolution requires focus, effort, and commitment. Changing old habits and developing new ones will not happen overnight. The following guidelines are meant to help you achieve all of your New Year’s Resolutions:
Focus on one resolution at a time. Make a list of your resolutions, prioritize them, and validate each of them. Do they make sense to focus on right now? It is wiser to focus on the right resolution than to start one you are not committed to.
Create a sense of accountability. Designate a friend, mentor, or companion for sharing successes, monitoring progress, and offering support. The benefit of involving others in your goals and plans is instant access to experience, knowledge, and wisdom— it also raises the bar of responsibility.
Research indicates that one of the qualities of those who are successful at making changes is that they have excellent support systems. Many of those who make resolutions never tell others about them. Consciously or subconsciously, that way if they fail no one will view them as a failure.
Communicating your resolution and intentions actually increases your accountability to the behavior. From the very beginning it is important to share your objectives and goals with those around you so that you can enlist their support. Knowing that you are accountable to someone other than yourself will help to keep you on track.
Persist until completed. A resolution achieved is a stunning example of consistency and hard work. If you fall behind schedule or are sidetracked for any reason, refocus! Just DO NOT give up! Do not surrender to temptation, difficulty or temporary failure. Persist until you achieve the goal.
Cultivate personal integrity. Integrity gives you the oxygen needed to cross the finish line of accomplishment. Your commitment determines your level of success. This commitment boils down to two essential tactics: DAILY ACTION AND REVIEW.
I wish you a New Year of health, wealth, and happiness. Believe in yourself and you will achieve!
Good Luck and Happy 2014!!
