November brings the time change, beginning of the end-of-year stress at work, countdown to holiday madness, and Black Friday. It's also a great month to reflect on the year, turn over a new leaf at work, and start making your resolutions and 2010 plans (if you haven't already!).
There are always a million things on the to-do list, but what's your primary career or financial goal for this month?
Although we are almost at the end of December, I highly recommend you wannabe mixologists make a cocktail entitled November. Created by Scott Baird, a dear friend, owner of 15 Romolo, and one of San Francisco's foremost bartenders, this concoction won the Nirvino Navan cocktail competition at Swig.
If you've never tried Navan, a natural vanilla liqueur, get your hands on a bottle stat! It's a great mixing liquor that can be used in both sweet and savory applications. This well-balanced, delicious cocktail balances out the Navan with a smoky scotch, while apple juice adds freshness.
