We hired a pool contractor to install a pool for us.
The contractor assured us that his company would
do all the work and then he hired electrical
and gas contractors to install the heating
and lighting systems. Can he do that?
Yes and no. In your case the contractor committed
a technical violation of the Consumer Fraud Act by hiring
outside workers. However, to win this type of case,
you must prove that you have suffered an “ascertainable
loss” caused by or directly related to the defendant's
unlawful conduct. Consequently, unless you can show damage caused
by the misrepresentation, there is no “ascertainable loss.”
I run my own home improvement company. The homeowner is constantly
changing her mind about what she wants the kitchen cabinetry to look like.
The changes are not significant but are different than what is written
in the contract. I do not have time to prepare a change order for every
little thing. What happens if I do not have a written change order?
Better find the time. If there is no written change order, and the homeowner
can demonstrate an ascertainable loss, the contractor is automatically liable
for consumer fraud. Intent is not a requirement nor an element of proof
for a plaintiff. Keep written change order forms on hand to be used on-site.

Trenton Small
Business Week
J
ust one year ago Trenton
Small Business Week was on
shaky ground. Organizers, facing a
melting city economy, worried that
TSBW might not survive for another year.
But with the economic picture
steady (if weak) and increasing interest by the Chris Christie administration to bolster small businesses in Trenton, the 18th incarnation
of TSBW is set to begin with the
kick off networking breakfast on
Monday, October 17, at 8 a.m. at
the Trenton Marriott.
Echoing the theme of renewed
interest in Trenton, the breakfast’s
keynote speech will be delivered
by Richard Lisk, the general manager and part owner of the Trenton
Titans hockey team, which returns
to Trenton this month. Lisk will
give an update on economic developments in Trenton, and the Small
Business of the Year Awards will
be presented by Trenton mayor
Tony Mack.
Several business-related events
will take place daily through Friday, October 21, when TSBW closes out with the annual Trenton Renaissance Ball at 6 p.m. at the Trenton Marriott. All business events
are free to attend, except for the
Mercer Chamber’s “Power Luncheon” with Senator Bill Baroni
on Tuesday, October 18, at 11:30
a.m. at the Trenton Marriott, and
the Renaissance Ball.
Baroni, deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey, will talk
about strengthening local economies, job creation, and transportation. Cost: $60. Visit
www.mercerchamber.org or call
609-689-9960, ext. 14.
Tickets to attend the Renaissance Ball cost $185. Visit www.-
mercerchamber.org or call 609689-9960, ext. 14.
The free business events kick
off with “Analyzing Your Customers for Maximum Profitability,” a presentation by Michael
Pucciarelli of accounting firm
Bartolomei & Pucciarelli, based at
2564 Brunswick Pike, on Monday,
October 17, at 10 a.m.
Pucciarelli will discuss the
“80/20” rule, which states that
businesses should concentrate on
the 20 percent of their clients who
generate 80 percent of their business’ income. “Know your ‘Aclass’ customers who are easy to
deal with and generate the largest
proportion of profits, and your ‘Dclass’ customers who are least
pleasant to deal with and provide
the lowest returns,” he says. “This
will allow you to manage your customer demographics for better
profitability and success.”
Also on Monday is “How to Buy
Property from the City,” a small
developers’ forum led by Henrietta Owusu of the Trenton Department of Housing and Economic
Development. The workshop begins at 12:30 p.m. at the Invention
Factory Science Museum, 675
South Clinton Avenue.
Owusu will discuss how to purchase city-owned properties,
which is not as clear-cut as it
sounds. Trenton has more than
1,000 residential and commercial
properties for sale as-is. These
properties, which the city acquires
through foreclosures, usually are
in bad shape and in need of qualified renovators.
Many of the city’s available
properties are in redevelopment areas, which cover wide swaths of
Trenton. Property must undergo a
rigorous process before the City
Council will designate it for a redevelopment area. The property must

meet certain conditions. For example, it must be in a blighted area, be
abandoned, have a number of outstanding housing code violations,
or be the subject of numerous police reports.
A developer will be required to
present architectural plans before
the city will agree to sell a property
and provide a work permit.
The city does not maintain a
public online listing of the properties, but interested developers can
pick up a list of city-owned properties from the Department of Housing and Economic Development.
The city also advertises the auction
list and the conveyance of all properties is advertised as well.
“These properties offer a developer the chance to make a profit
while the city gains the return of
properties to the tax roles – and revived neighborhoods in Trenton,”
Owusu says.
For entrepreneurs looking for an
edge in the growing digital marketplace, Ed Andriessen of BTR
Business Training Resource in
Hamilton will present “Building
Your Business with Social Media”
on Wednesday, October 19, at 3
p.m. at the McDade Building, 640
South Broad Street.
Andriessen is an avid proponent
of using sites like YouTube to build
your business. YouTube, Andriessen says, generates more than
2 billion hits a day — sometimes
more than Google — but is the
most overlooked social media platform for businesses.
Andriessen encourages small
business owners to create their
own video channels on YouTube
OCTOBER 12, 2011
for videos they have created and
ones that relate to their fields.
On Thursday, October 20, Luis
de la Hoz, Spanish program coordinator at the Intersect Fund in
New Brunswick, will co-present
“Resources for Spanish Speaking
Business Owners: How to Start
and Finance Your Business” at
10:30 a.m. at Thomas Edison State
College, 101 West State Street.
As the Hispanic population
grows in the United States, business owners are poised to tap a lucrative, yet largely overlooked
market, de la Hoz says. “I know
from doing income taxes that a lot
of Hispanic people are doing
well,” he says. “They have good
jobs, they are making money, purchasing houses, using financial advisors, and purchasing life insurance. But Spanish-speaking business owners are often behind the
curve when it comes to technology
(such as digital cash registers or
credit card machines) and in their
understanding of how expand their
businesses.
And the language barrier is not
just Spanish vs. English. “We
came from 22 different countries
and it’s hard because each has its
own nuances,” he says of Hispanics. “My wife used to be uneasy
when Domincian people would
come to our business and speak
with me because she thought they
were screaming. But because my
father is from the north coast of
Colombia, I’m familiar with that
tone.”

Domestic Violence Law In New Jersey
t is an unfortunate fact that domestic violence is a pervasive
problem both in New Jersey
and throughout the United
States. As a result, it is important
to understand the legal process
and protections afforded to victims of domestic violence in New
Jersey.
In New Jersey there are two
mechanisms for providing protection to victims of domestic violence. Victims can pursue protection in both the criminal and
civil context. A victim may pursue
filing criminal charges against a
defendant by contacting the police. In such cases, the state is
required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a criminal act
occurred. The police are required to file charges if a victim
exhibits signs of injury regardless of whether the victim wishes
to do so or not.
In addition to criminal charges
a victim of domestic violence
may pursue protection in the civil
context pursuant to the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act,
N.J.S.A. 2C:25-17, et seq., by requesting a Final Restraining Order (FRO). A victim need not pursue criminal charges to obtain a
FRO and vice versa.
What Constitutes Domestic
Violence Necessary to Obtain
a FRO?
New Jersey has established a
two-pronged test that must be
satisfied for a victim to obtain a
FRO. First, a victim must establish that a "predicate act" of domestic violence occurred. An act
of domestic violence includes
one or more of the following: assault; terrorist threats; kidnaping;
criminal restraint; false imprisonment; sexual assault; criminal
sexual contact; lewdness; criminal mischief; burglary; criminal
trespass; harassment; and stalking.
Second, it must be established that a domestic violence
restraining order is necessary to
protect a victim from immediate
danger or further acts of domestic violence. A plaintiff is responsible for establishing his or her
case by a preponderance of the
evidence, which is a lower burden of proof than that required in
criminal cases. In addition to the
diminished burden of proof, domestic violence hearings are
conducted in a relatively expedited manner and do not afford parties the right to pursue pre-trial
discovery without prior Court approval.
Who Qualifies as a Victim of
Domestic Violence?
To be eligible to obtain a restraining order, one must qualify
as a "victim of domestic violence." A victim includes a person who is 18 years or older (or
is an emancipated minor) and
who has been subjected to domestic violence by a spouse, former spouse, or other person who
is a present or former household
member. A victim also includes
any person, regardless of age,
who has been subjected to domestic violence by a person with
whom the victim has a child in
common, or with whom the victim anticipates having a child in
common if one of the parties is
pregnant. A victim is also any
person who has been subjected
by Robert P. Panzer Esq.
to domestic violence by a person
with whom the victim has had a
dating relationship. Additionally,
a defendant must be 18 years of
age (or be an emancipated minor) for a victim to pursue relief
under the Domestic Violence
Act.
Process For Obtaining a
Restraining Order
Victims of domestic violence
who require the protection of a
restraining order may apply for a
Temporary Restraining Order
(TRO) with the Family Part of the
Superior Court. The police may
also assist in obtaining a TRO
before a municipal court judge
on holidays, weekends, and other times when the Superior Court
is closed.
When applying for a TRO, victims should list all acts of domestic violence that form the basis of
the complaint. In addition, a detailed account of all prior acts of
domestic violence should be included in the complaint. Under
the Domestic Violence Act, prior
history of domestic violence is
both relevant, and often crucial,
in determining whether a FRO
should be granted. Prior history
may include incidents that did
not result in the police being contacted and did not result in the issuance of a TRO or criminal
complaint. It is important to include all acts and prior acts of
domestic violence because failure to do so may preclude introducing evidence or testimony regarding the particular incident at
the final hearing.
After a victim applies for a
TRO, a hearing is conducted
usually without the defendant
present. Because these hearings
are unopposed and the court
hears only the victim's version of
events, TROs are usually granted so long as a prima facia case
of domestic violence is established.
A TRO provides victims immediate protection by prohibiting
the defendant from having any
contact or communication with
the victim, as well as other ancillary relief that the court deems
necessary.
After a TRO is issued and
served on a defendant, a final
hearing is scheduled to determine whether a FRO should be
entered. At the final hearing,
both parties present testimony
and evidence regarding the allegations of domestic violence. If a
court determines that an act of
domestic violence has been
proven by a preponderance of
the evidence and that the issuance of a final restraining order is necessary to prevent further acts of domestic violence,
the court will issue a FRO. A
FRO prevents a defendant from
engaging in any contact or communication with the victim and
prohibits subjecting the victim to
any further acts of domestic violence. In addition, a FRO may
grant additional relief, including
but not limited to awarding a party exclusive possession of a residence, addressing custody and
parenting time issues, and
awarding monetary relief (including emergency support for minor
children and the victim). Further,
the court is empowered to grant
numerous other protective
measures and "grant any relief
necessary to prevent further
abuse." 2C:25-29b(1)-(18).
Although the issuance of a
FRO does not constitute a conviction of a criminal offense, New
Jersey courts have recognized
that it "has serious consequences to the personal and professional lives of those who are
found guilty." For example, once
a FRO is entered, a defendant is
fingerprinted, required to forfeit
firearms and weapons, and included in the central registry
maintained by the Administrative
Office of the Courts. Further, violation of a TRO or FRO constitutes contempt, and a second or
subsequent non-indictable domestic violence contempt violation requires a minimum term of
30 days imprisonment. The issuing court may also impose a
number of other wide-reaching
sanctions.
Due to the serious consequences that can result from the
issuance of a FRO, our courts
have reiterated that the Domestic Violence Act is intended to assist those who are truly victims of
domestic violence and that the
process should not be trivialized.
Further, our courts have stressed
that "domestic contretemps," or
marital bickering, should not be
mistaken for matters of consequence warranting the protections afforded by the Domestic
Violence Act.
Due to the fact that certain relief afforded by FROs impact issues that are often the most contentious between divorcing
spouses (i.e. custody, parenting
time, and financial support), our
Appellate Division has expressed concern that parties
may attempt to misuse the Act to
gain an advantage in a companion matrimonial action. Clearly,
the Domestic Violence Act was
not intended for such purposes
and our Courts serve as "gatekeepers" to filter out complaints
that fail to constitute true domestic violence.
If you have any questions
about domestic violence, as either a plaintiff or defendant, it is
important that you seek legal advice to be sure that you are informed of all of your rights in light
of the serious consequences involving domestic violence law in
New Jersey.

Twice the Support
In the Job Search
F
inding a new job is a job in
itself, and it doesn’t help that the
rules keep changing. What used to
work for job seekers no longer
does, especially when you get to
middle age. Between the competition and the changing rules of the
game, it’s easy for job hunters to
get confused, down, and unmotivated.
Two free events on Monday and
Tuesday, October 17 and 18, intend
to reverse the job search blues and
keep job hunters positive and motivated. On Monday Sandy Schussel, president of Brass Ring Coaching at 54 Castleton Road, will present “Staying Motivated During the
Job Search” at 4:30 p.m. at Salt
Creek Grille. Schussel’s talk is the
lead-in for the HRMA of Princeton’s 5:50 networking event. Call
609-986-0230.
Schussel began his career as a
lawyer but was sidelined by cancer
that left him drained and unable to
get back to his law work. But the
cancer had one benefit — it gave
Schussel time to realize how much
he hated being a lawyer. He had
lost a lot of clients in his year of
chemotherapy treatment and knew
he would have to start over again.
But why start up again doing something that made him unhappy?
So Schussel, a 1972 graduate of
Penn and 1976 graduate of the New
England School of Law, traded his
life in “a profession filled with unhappy people, long hours, mountains of paperwork, droning work,
and endless arguments” for private
consulting work. The move was no
stretch for Schussel, who had actually set out to be a Broadway actor
when he first left Penn. His entire
time as a lawyer, he says, he felt as
if he were playing a part. And most
of the time he had been acting as a
consultant anyway.
After several years of leading
seminars, consulting, and teaching, Schussel landed a job as a national sales trainer. He loved it, but
realized that his real dream was to
be a motivational speaker. “That,”
he told U.S. 1 back in 2002, “is my
brass ring.”
Schussel formed Brass Ring
Coaching that year and realized his
dream. The key to getting where
you want, he says, is to stay motivated toward your goal. Start by
exploring the positive side of who
you are as a professional, Schussel
says. A consultant might hate
prospecting for clients, but might
enjoy giving presentations, for example. A lawyer might hate court
room wrangles, but might enjoy legal research. Look for elements
you like in jobs you have held in
the past and build upon them.
Better yet, do them. Keeping
your job skills sharp will keep you
motivated and will have a pleasant
side-effect — it will make you
more fluent in the skills and activities you like best.
“The main thing,” says Schussel, “is to take action. If you take
action, it means that you are not
paralyzed.”
On Tuesday Nancy Anderson
of BlackBird Learning Associates
in Bound Brook will present “Job
Search Skills for Those Over 40” at
8:30 a.m. at the Princeton Public
Library. Call 609-924-9529.

Local Businesses Make Trenton Small Business Week Possible
T
he 18th Annual Trenton
Small Business Week, a
celebration of activities for
business owners, entrepreneurs
and individuals, especially those
starting or changing careers, is
made possible by the generous
donations of local businesses.
The event, which attracts
nearly 5,000 people to the capital
city, will be held October 17 to
21. It will feature 17 free seminars, the Mayor's Awards during
the Kick Off Networking Breakfast, a special Mercer Regional
Chamber of Commerce Power
Luncheon as well as its popular
Business EXPO and Renaissance Ball, a TD Bank Networking Reception, a Capital City Real Estate Reception and more.
"We owe a debt of gratitude to
all our sponsors, but in particular
TD Bank, our Presenting Sponsor," said Marsha Stoltman of
The Stoltman Group Event Planners. "Along with fellow 'Chief
Executive Officer/Major General
Level Sponsors' the City of Trenton, the New Jersey Small Business Development Center @
The College of New Jersey, Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce and Mercer County, TD
Bank's significant contribution
enables us to offer so many free
events during the week."
On Monday, Oct. 17, the week
starts with a Kick Off Networking
Breakfast featuring the Mayor's
Small Business of the Year
Awards, which will include a special keynote by Richard Lisk,
president and CEO of the Trenton Titans, as well as an economic update. A full description of the
schedule, current news and registration may be found online at
www.smallbizweek.com.
"We are delighted to thank our
'President/Brigadier General

added. "The Times, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, WIMG AM 1300, PNC
Bank, U.S. 1 Newspaper,
Thomas Edison State College,
Princeton Regional Chamber of
Commerce and the Trenton Titans have stepped up to make
sure we can offer programs to a
wide audience."
The free seminars and workshops are carefully researched

Spanish, and a focus on doing
business internationally. Other
topics cover profitability, financing, resources for veterans, tips
for small developers, making the
most of government resources,

The course is designed to show
students what will it takes to start
and manage a small farm enterprise. Students will, according to
NOFA, review opportunities in
small-scale agriculture, explore
their objectives, assess their personal skills and financial resources, conduct preliminary market research, and develop an action
plan.
While small farms are often successful,
prospective
farmers
should be aware of some of the realities. According to the University
of Maryland, which recently published a report on what it takes to
operate a small farm, small farms
face four key challenges: limited
purchasing power (small farmers
do not buy supplies in large enough
quantities to warrant discounts),
low output, limited space, and limited knowledge and experience.
NOFA’s course is its first attempt to turn lack of knowledge into understanding of the farm life.
But NOFA emphasizes that this
course will not teach anyone how
to farm. Instead it seeks to help aspiring farmers explore their business ideas and clarify the steps
needed to turn the farm dream into
a working reality.

Opportunities
Anyone who’s been hospitalized
knows the awkward feel of a hospital gown,
and women who are undergoing radiation
treatment for breast cancer have to put one
on every day for several weeks. Toby Israel
of Princeton, a breast cancer survivor and
founder of Design Psychology, is doing
something about that.
“My journey to develop the ‘Robe to
Wellness’ began when I was diagnosed with
early-stage breast cancer,” says Israel.
“Wearing my own elegant robe to each of my
radiation treatments made me feel like a
queen staring down cancer. Now I’ve designed a naturally nurturing robe with a healing ‘Well Wishes’ message sewn into each
gown’s collar.”
The robes were developed based on input
from breast cancer survivors at focus groups
held at the WYCA Princeton Breast Cancer
Resource Center last year. The robe’s kimono style, luxurious colors, and soft fabric
were selected by Israel “to help women feel
feminine, empowered, and renewed. The
robe’s leaf print wraps women in gentle
botanical imagery, allowing them to envision the healing power of nature.” The poly
satin fabric was designed by New York fabric designer Aviva Stanoff, and Israel designed the robe.
The robe is both “wearable” and “hangable” art, says Israel. “When displayed on a
kimono rod, the gown helps transform hospitals and other healing arts spaces into welcoming oases for patients on the road to recovery. Such ‘hangable,’ ‘wearable’ art also
is meant to provide a positive distraction for
patients and caregivers.”
Israel also says that giving the robe as a
gift is a tangible way for friends or relatives
— often at a loss for ways to help — to provide support to someone they know who is
going or will be going through treatment.
Capital Health Medical Center in Hopewell, which opens to patients on Sunday,
November 6, and the University Medical
Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, opening in
spring, 2012, have purchased gowns for
women undergoing radiation at their new facilities. It is also for sale online at www.robetowellness.com.
“Robe to Wellness” sewing circles, which
begin this month on Tuesdays, 12:30 to 2
p.m. at the YWCA Princeton Breast Cancer
Resource Center’s Bramwell House Living
Room, welcomes cancer survivors, their
families, and friends. Participants will
stitching labels, which are preprinted with
“Well Wishes” messages such as “You are
gently held in love and care” and “in deep
waters friends carry you” (posted by people
around the world on the website), into the
collars of the gowns.
Says Israel: “Both the sewing circles and
the robes themselves are intended to offer
personal ‘woman to woman’ emotional support to women on the journey through breast
cancer.”

UESTION: Do some people hide behind masks?
Why do they do that?
ANSWER: A secret in life is
that all people feel insecure.
Masks are ineffective solutions
to the problem of insecurity, either trying to fool others by pretending to be superior, or tragically fooling yourself by acting inferior.
The masks we wear on Halloween, we can take off at the
end of the evening. The personality masks that hide who we are
become harder to take off as
each year passes, as if we begin
to believe the web of lies that we
have been spinning. Hence, my
advice is to take your mask off,
realizing that your true self is far
more beautiful than any mask,
no matter how bejeweled it may
be.
Here are but a few examples
of masks people wear everyday:
1. The Snob: This person
puts himself up by putting you
down. They narcissistically throw
in your face the fact that they live
on the right street, drive the right
car, or know the right people, the
not-so-subtle implication being
that you do not! They often define themselves by what they
have vs. who they are.
2. The Workaholic: This person defines self by what they do
vs. who they are, compulsively
working long hours due to feeling
short on self-esteem. They endlessly tell you about how much
they have accomplished on their
job, what their title is, how many
people are under them, or how
much they make, the implication
being that the firm would fold
without them. They have a hard
by the Rev. Peter K. Stimpson
time relaxing, taking work home
with them, and even converting
fun into work, wanting to shoot
the lowest score in golf so as to
feel high.
3. Macho Man: This person
hides their fear of you by making
you scared of them. This is yesterday's bully from grade school,
who today controls by making
you feel uncomfortable, perhaps
by yelling or being "in your face"
during an argument. When people back down, they feel powerful. But, when people back away,
especially a spouse, their paranoid fear of rejection shows itself
in jealous accusations of infidelity, and a cynical worldview that is
a definite "turn off." The more assertive the spouse becomes, the
more abusive the behavior becomes, often escalating to slapping and hitting.
4. The Martyr: This person
manipulates by feelings, drawing
such a "poor me" picture, that
you find yourself drawn to doing
things for them. However, after
the sixth crisis in two weeks, you
duck when you see them coming, as you see them as a "bottomless pit" of need. As we all
want to help others, this person
then just moves on to the next
"sucker," never realizing that
they do not have to act sad to become happy.
5. Shy Guy: This person
avoids social situations, having
to be dragged to a party, where
they hover on the fringe of conversations, studying people to
discover who is "safe." If either
slightly rebuffed or ignored, they
retreat to their corner, complain-
ing enough until their spouse
agrees to go home. While very
talented, they often put themselves down, and are overly dismayed if they make a public mistake, each goof reinforcing the
decision to hang back for fear of
embarrassment.
6. The Clinger: Someone
who judges him or herself to be
weak, and accordingly, clings to
someone else whom they think is
strong. They passively allow this
person to make important decisions for them, such as buying a
house or car, or determining to
which school the children will go.
Instead of depending on a mythical hero, they need to discover
their inner worth, and nervously
and gradually stand on their own
two feet.

When the Line Between Work and Home Is Invisible
D
by Susan Van Dongen
o you know a husband
and wife who thoroughly enjoy living and working together, and have
no qualms about being around each
other 24/7? Probably not.
Then meet Douglas Martin,
artistic director of the American
Repertory Ballet, and Mary Barton, ARB ballet master and resident choreographer, who married
in 1989. Many working spouses
say they can be ships passing in the
night (and that’s OK) but these two
Lawrence Township residents say
they miss each other when their
schedules don’t coincide.
“In our first 11 years of marriage, we were together 24 hours a
day, and we never had a problem,”
Martin says. “In year 12, we were
not with each other all day, and it
was a very odd thing. Now we’re
back to seeing each other more, and
although we’re both very busy,
there are several days we can go
home together. Unlike other couples, we’ve never had an issue: we
take our work home, discuss
things, we don’t argue, and it
works.”
“My policy is that, when you’re
working as partner, someone has to
be a little bit of the boss,” Barton
says. “I don’t mind because I totally trust in Doug’s knowledge and
technique. If there is a difference of
opinion about a piece, I don’t get
my bristles up. I know his will
work and feel wonderful.”
Now in its 37th year, the ARB
opens its 2011-’12 season on Saturday, October 22, at Raritan Val-
ley Community College in Branchburg, with world premieres by Barton, as well as Matthew Keefe, also
a resident choreographer at ARB.
In addition, the innovative program includes a revival of Kirk Peterson’s “The Eyes that Gently
Touch,” danced to music by composer Philip Glass, performed live
by pianist Jonathan Benjamin.
Barton and Keefe will appear on
Thursday, October 13, at the
Princeton Public Library, for “Inspiring Choreography,” an evening
of dance and discussion, where the
two resident choreographers will
talk about their new ballets.
“It’s a way for us to reach out to
the public, in other words, come on
in and learn about dance, learn
about the process,” Martin says.
“In this case, it’s how Mary and
Matthew conceived the works and
what their creative process is like,
since everybody’s is different.”
On Friday, October 14, at
Princeton Ballet School, 301 North
Harrison Street, ARB’s On Pointe
Enrichment Series will present
“Creating Choreography,” in
which Barton and Keefe will discuss their choreographic process.
Keefe’s premiere work, “Fantasy for Violin, Piano and Ballet,”
will be, in his words, “a dance in
the classical tradition — with a
wink.” Set to Franz Schubert’s
“Fantasy for Violin and Piano in
C,” Keefe has created an homage to
famous ballet classics such as
“Giselle” and “Swan Lake,”
known for their precise corps de

“This year, we have many wonderful new
dancers, and I haven’t worked much with
them before,” she continues. “Usually I like
to do something dramatic and tell a mini story, but in order to do that, I need to know the
dancers better. I thought now would be a
good time to bring out this fun music, do
something whimsical, and show off the

“Mary and I never got to dance together at

tallest women, and she danced with shorter

created a ton of work with the directors.”
Barton danced as a principal dancer with
the ARB from 1993 to 2004, and has been on
the faculty of the Princeton Ballet School
since 1993. In addition to being one of the
primary teachers of the school’s Summer Intensive, she is a member of the ballet faculty
at the Lewis Center of the Arts at Princeton
University, and in the musical theater program at Rider University.
In addition to their professional and marital compatibility, they seem to be made for
each other when dancing. Barton says, as a
girl, she’d watch beautiful pas de deux, and
dream of that feeling of floating through the
air on the arms of a partner. “That was the
fantasy, but the reality is, sometimes a part-

something else that can be uncomfortable,”
she says. “But with Douglas, it’s always been

to Morven, and I’ve learned so

Bregenzer, who was born in
Somerville, grew up in Hopewell

and her mother was a nurse. She

in architecture.

turned a former Masonic temple into Hopewell Borough Hall.
Prior to her arrival at Morven,
the pool house was on the verge of
collapse, and some questioned the
importance of its restoration, suggesting it just be torn down.
“What is unique about Morven is
that (visitors can see) how it has
evolved over time,” says Bregenzer.
“The main house and wash house
are from the mid 18th century, the
carriage house is from the late
1890s, and the Art Moderne Poolhouse, from 1941, are all on the
same property. General Johnson
wanted the pool house for his family, and when the governors lived
here they used it for entertaining.
You start to forget that 1941 is 70
years ago — there aren’t too many
Art Moderne buildings around.”
A
self-described purist, Bregenzer admits it was tremendously
expensive to restore. Private funding
was raised. “In the state it was in it
was hard to be fond of — you could
put your foot through the floor, and
the windows were boarded up,” she
says. “It required vision.”
Every restoration project begins
with research, and Bregenzer started with five old exterior photos
from the collections, as well as
memories shared by Johnson’s
daughter, Sheila, until recently a
board member.

Ruch says that when the planned
fountain is completed “it will be a
big draw to families. Fun is part of
our vision for Morven. It’s a beautiful space, and it’s open free of
charge.”
Ruch, who was born in Philadelphia and grew up in Berwyn, PA,
earned a bachelor’s in horticulture
from Temple University in 2000.
She is completing a master’s in environmental science from Green
Mountain College in Vermont.
A love of plants runs in her family. Her mother’s father came from
Sweden in 1911 and started a nursery. He named his twin daughters
Lily and Rose. Ruch’s father was
an engineer and her stepmother a
bacteriologist and homemaker.
She walks me around the property to see the sculpture that suggests water. In one corner, a wooden fish stares out of an eye popping
out of its head.
Ruch explains how the sculptor,
Ina Brosseau Marx, had been walking the property with her and noticed a fallen tree. “See that fish?”
Marx remarked to Ruch, pointing

Ruch helped Marx load the snaggly

took it home, played with it, added
an eye, then brought it back and set
it into the landscape from which it
came.

again conspiring with Villanueva and

edge to “Find Out What They Like” that
brings it close to being a show-stopper — as

amusingly insinuating “The Viper’s Song”
(also known as “The Reefer’s Song”). A sensational dancer, he also gets plenty of opportunities to also display his ingratiating personality in “How Ya Baby” partnering with
the leggy Vallanueva and by inviting audience participation in “Fat and Greasy.”
Jacob Ming-Trent has no trouble making
his presence account for much of the show’s
success with “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down
and Write Myself a Letter” and the funny
“Your Feet’s Too Big.” His girth doesn’t stop
him from becoming as much a contributor as
anyone in the dancing portions, as bracingly
choreographed by De Shields.
De Shields has found himself a cast that
not only does the Waller legacy proud but also supports it with the kind of effusive jitterbuggin,’ sashayin,’ and struttin,’ that makes
this show one of the most entertaining and
fun shows you are currently likely to find.
The extended finale, consisting of a medley
of songs recorded (but not composed) by
Waller, also packs a wallop, as do the sixterrific musicians who comprise the onstage
band. It confirms that this is one production
of “Ain’t Misbehavin’” that should not be

O
n October 3 the Princeton
Borough Council narrowly approved Princeton University’s plan
to move the Dinky train station
from University Place, across from
McCarter Theater, to a spot 460
feet south to make room for a major
new arts community. But the move
did little to soothe bad feelings
generated by several months of
wrangling over the plan.
The council approved a revised

Postal Service’s latest budget woes
has reached one of the few areas
that has remained buoyant during
the Great Recession — downtown
Princeton. According to the USPS,
the post office building located in
the heart of Palmer Square will
likely go up for sale before long.
The idea of selling the building
is not new. In 1997 the USPS seriously considered putting the building on the market, then abruptly
decided not to. This latest round of
interest, however, could be more
serious. Raymond Daiutolo, a
spokesman for the USPS, said the
service has completed a study concluding that selling the building
would be in its best interest. “We
haven’t put it up for sale yet, but
we’re probably going to,” Diautolo said.
Right now the 11,000-squarefoot building is in the appraisal
phase, so there is no market value
to attach to the building yet. According to borough tax assessor
Neal Snyder, the building is assessed at $1,899,600.
Much of the building is unused,
creating a huge expense in wasted
space for the cash-strapped USPS.
According to its own figures, the
Postal Service lost $8.5 billion last
year and is struggling to stay afloat
in the age of electronic communications.
Should the USPS sell the building, Diautolo said, the employees
would be moved to smaller quarters elsewhere in Princeton.
In its heyday the Palmer Square
branch was a distribution facility

rad Poller, right, founding partner at Princeton Internet
Marketing at 295 PrincetonHightstown Road, has been
knee-deep in marketing and advertising since early in his college career. But the coursework
for his double major in marketing and advertising at the University of Hartford (Class of
1992) was only part of it. Nearly
from the get-go his sales and
marketing experience was hands
on — although not entirely by
choice.
As a freshman, he got a hefty
speeding ticket for going 81
miles an hour in a 55 mph zone
— and at $10 per mile above the
speed limit, he owed $260. But
because Poller was working his
way through college, he did not
have the extra bucks to cover the
ticket.
As he contemplated how to
deal with his new financial burden, a friend showed him a beaded necklace he had made. Poller
decided to make one for himself.
When a girl admired his creative
work and wanted to know where
she could buy one, he sold it to
her. That’s when the realization
hit: “She bought it for $15, and
there was a dollar’s worth of material. Wow, I can make money
for the speeding ticket by selling
necklaces.”
Since then Poller has gained
additional experience in marketing technology. About three
years ago he and a partner started
Princeton Internet Marketing in
Poller’s house. Poller’s partner,
who has moved on to other ventures, had worked for a large advertising agency in Manhattan.
When they joined forces Princeton Internet Marketing became
the digital arm for that agency.
Today the company serves as
the silent advertising arm for
five ad agencies, but Poller declines to give their names because his company “white labels” its services to them. “They
use us to do all their digital work:
building websites; doing searchengine optimization; doing social media marketing; and placing advertisements online —
pay-per-click advertising on
Google or Yahoo or Facebook,”
he says.
The company works with
companies of all sizes, from
Bowden’s Fireside in Mercerville to national franchises
like ShelfGenie. “We handle
SEO for the national franchise as
well as each of the franchisees,”
Poller says. For its services, PIM
charges anywhere from $1,000
to $2,500 a month.

Dear Me: 20/20 Hindsight That Can Still Help
A
Looking Back to Look Forward: Pennington
author and entrepreneur Ellyn Spragins turned
the success of her first book, ‘What I Know Now:
Letters to My Younger Self,’ into two more books
and an enterprise that comprises speaking engagements, workshops, seminars, and products.
by Jamie Saxon
bout a month ago, I
dropped an earring on my bedroom
floor. Stooping down to look for it,
I found on the bottom shelf of my
nightstand a stack of books covered in dust, which I hadn’t
touched in years. I sat on the floor
and happily looked at each. I believe everything happens for a reason. I had been in search of inspiration for writing a column about
turning 50, and when I came upon
“What I Know Now: Letters to My
Younger Self,” by Pennington author Ellyn Spragins, I knew that
that’s what I would do for my column (U.S. 1, September 21). When
Spragins’ book was published in
2006, U.S. 1 ran a story on her
(January 17, 2007); that’s how a
copy of it ended up on my nightstand.
After my column was published
the first online comment was posted by Spragins. I was intrigued.
How had she found it? I called her
and she told me she gets a Google
alert every time her book title
comes up. We talked more, and I
learned that her book had become a
New York Times bestseller; that
she had subsequently written two
more books: “If I’d Known Then:
Women in Their 20s and 30s Write
Letters to Their Younger Selves”
(2008) and “What I Know About
Success: Letters from Extraordinary Women to Their Younger
Selves” (2010), which includes
Emily Mann, artistic director of
McCarter Theater (see sidebar
page 35).
Adding entrepreneur to her resume, Spragins, 58, a former business writer and columnist, has

seminars usually run two or three
hours, but from October 16 to 19,
Spragins will host her first threeday workshop at Canyon Ranch in
Lenox, MA (one hour a day over
three days, with the remainder of
the time open to other Canyon
Ranch offerings), open to anyone,
in a collaboration with Spa Connection.

dozens more? Since Spragins had
workmen at her house, we meet in
the Anne Reeves Room of the Arts
Council of Princeton, where Spragins, like a corporate Gretl on the
6:17 a.m. to Manhattan, reveals the
path of crumbs that led to her
books — and her new business. It
is an object lesson in the yin-yang
of pure serendipity and well-oiled
relationships.
Spragins was born in Washington D.C., the second of five children. Her father was a West Point
graduate and career Army officer,
and her mother was “a patient
homemaker who made a home
every two or three years in a new
place.” A bona fide Army brat,
Spragins lived up and down the
East Coast — including Arlington,
Virginia; Fort Bragg, North Carolina; and Louisiana. She spent
kindergarten and first grade in Germany. While she attended high
school at Northfield/Mt. Herman, a
boarding school in Massachusetts
(where she would meet her future
husband, John Witty) her parents
were stationed in Hawaii.
After two years at the University of Virginia, she got married, then
took a year off to go to New York,

Letters to My Younger Self
Ellyn Spragins has written three
books in which she interviewed
prominent women and had them
write a letter to their younger self
at a difficult time in their life. The
resulting letters are sometimes
poignant, often humorous, and always reveal unexpected wisdom.
Following are excerpts.
EMILY MANN, playwright and
artistic director, McCarter Theater,
writing to her 42-year-old self after
being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Dear Emily,
I won’t try to soften the blow. I
know exactly how terrified you
are. Nothing I say will change the
hard, ugly fact that your body is
now a hostage to MS.
But you are going to be lucky —
hard as that is to believe. Soon, you
will learn how to think through the
pain around your middle and the
numbness throughout your body;
how to put your concentration on a
different level. Actors and athletes
do this all the time. They find a way
to move past and through physical
discomfort. You’ll find out how to
concentrate on a higher level than
you could before you got ill. And
your work will be better for it.
Even more important are the
messages this disease carries for
you.
For example, when you have
MS, you lose your balance and fall
down. In order to rebuild your life
you’ll have to find balance mentally, physically, and emotionally.
You will discover yoga and a
whole world will open up to you.
So far, imbalance has ruled.
You’ve worked around the clock — exhaustion be damned — to
make McCarter a huge success. As a
mother, a wife, a director, and an
artistic director, you’re always taking care of someone else. But now,
putting yourself last is no longer an
option. You must do a better job of
safeguarding yourself. First, understand that you can only do so much
each day. Decide what’s most important and jettison the rest. In so
doing, you will find out what really
matters in life. And who really matters. Your family life and your work
will become stronger and richer
with that knowledge.
The second imperative: Learn
how to ask for help. It’s shocking,
but people want to help. Your huge
life lesson is to discover that when
you ask for help you are allowing
other people to give. This is a precious exchange. So how you accept
people’s care is very important. Do
so with deep and profound gratitude. And love.
MADELEINE ALBRIGHT, former Secretary of State, writing to
her 44-year-old self after the breakdown of her marriage of 23 years.
Dear Madeleine,
You will get through this fog and
uncertainty — and you’ll do it in
the best possible way. You won’t
become cynical, stoical, or hardbitten over the loss you’re feeling.
Over the next ten years you’ll rebuild and reinvent yourself, finding success — and tremendous satisfaction.
The truth is, you’ve got the guts
to find your own purpose and the
integrity to fulfill it on your own
terms. Your parents taught you to
strive to achieve all you can, with
the gifts that you have. Now you’re
about to direct those gifts towards
finding your voice and using it to
serve your country in ways that
will surprise you. When your students ask you how you have man-
aged to be married and have children and work at the same time,
you feel like a phony because you
think you haven’t succeeded at
that. It’s hard to feel qualified as a
role model. But you are.
It will take years before you realize that you already are a good
role model. But ultimately you’ll
inspire far more women than you’d
ever predict. Twenty-three years
from now when women say that
they’re choosing a career in international relations, the thing you’ll
enjoy most is telling them that
there is no formula, that everybody
must choose their own path.
MAYA ANGELOU, poet, author,
playwright.
Dear Marguerite,
You’re itching to be on your
own. You don’t want anybody
telling you what time you have to
be in at night or how to raise your
baby. You’re going to leave your
mother’s big comfortable house
and she won’t stop you, because
she knows you too well.
But listen to what she says:

What I Know Now
training program, worked on Wall
Street, and then became a journalist
for Bloomberg Personal and host
of a New Jersey-based business TV
show.
She says she had a “terrible” first
job in Manhattan, as a gal Friday for
a small synthetic materials company, but it was an important first
crumb in the path. “I was basically a
secretary. I had been a steadfast
English major and a bookworm
growing up, and that job led me to
decide, ‘no way was I was going to
be treated like an airhead.’” She
transferred to Barnard. “I decided I
would take everything — oil painting, economics.” She majored in
English and minored in economics,
“because I really found I liked it, to
my surprise.” After graduating in
1977, she was a banker for five
years before realizing, “it just wasn’t my passion to write credit memos and do credit analysis.”
She applied and was hired as a
researcher/reporter at Forbes, making less than half than what she was
making in the banking world. “We
were the bottom of the totem pole,
very abused, and all that stuff, but
we did get a chance to write and get
clips.”
Her husband, working at Morgan
Stanley, was transferred to Chicago,
where Spragins got a job with the
Chicago bureau of BusinessWeek.
When they came back to New York
(and lived in Maplewood, NJ), Spragins stayed with BusinessWeek,
then moved to Inc. magazine, Smart
Money, and was a contributing editor at Newsweek, where she wrote
two columns, a personal finance column called Focus on Your Money,
and Focus on Your Health, which
grew out of Spragins doing the first
HMO ranking in the country.
Then those well-oiled relationships started to kick in. Sarah Bartlett, a former colleague at BusinessWeek who had joined Oxygen
Media as head of editorial, offered
Spragins a job as vice president of
editorial development. But it was
post dot-com bubble, and both
Spragins and Bartlett saw the axe
lowering and left.
Back in freelancer’s shoes,
Spragins found a particularly delicious crumb dropped in her path.
Another former colleague from
BusinessWeek was running the
Sunday business section at the
New York Times. “When she call-
Spragins’ original
book idea sprung
from the loss of her
mother and started
as an article in ‘O’
magazine.
ed and asked whether I’d be interested in doing something, I remember thinking, ‘oh, I know this
should be really great’but it was really just more personal finance,
and I was fed up with personal finance. But then she said, ‘I have
this idea for a column about love
and money, the intersection of relationships and money.’”
And who could turn their nose
up at the New York Times? Spragins wrote a column spec, which
she says is still her favorite one. “It
was about one of these many elements in marriage and money,
which is about how many women
hide their purchases from their husband in one way or another. And
these include women who make
their own money or women with
joint checking accounts who handle all the bills in the house. And it
ended up being hilarious because it
became a little catalog of all the
ways women do it, you know, taking a red marker and slashing the
price and putting a new price in.
Another woman brought her new
clothes into the house in dry cleaning bags. My sister’s husband once
asked if her shoes were new, and
when she denied it, he picked up her
shoe and looked at the sole and saw
they hadn’t been worn before. So
now every time she buys new shoes
she takes them out on the gravel and
roughs them up. And I ran my perspective on this, which is that the
men really don’t care at all, it’s just
a funny little thing women do.”
Spragins wrote the “Love and
Money” column for three years. “It
captured the human piece of money,” she says. “We think we should
be very rational, but money is
heavily charged with emotion —
the way we spend it, the way we
save it — so it’s very rich in terms
of how we interact around money,
such as inheritances and what goes
on between siblings. All of that I
considered good material for this
column. And of course it’s the New
York Times, so all these people
from my past life came out of the
woodwork, like someone I knew
from fifth grade would read the
column and write to me. That was
very rewarding to have people read
and respond.”
D
uring this time both she and
her husband were also doing work
for Bloomberg Personal and they
moved with their daughter and son
to Pennington in 2002, after
Maplewood’s taxes were raised 50
percent in one year. Their daughter,
Keenan, now 23, is a senior at Rutgers; son Tucker, 21, is a sophomore at the University of Hawaii.
“The idea for ‘What I Know

actually percolated for a number of
years,” says Spragins. “It started in
Maplewood. About 2001, around
the end of leaving Oxygen, I had
this idea. It really came from the
loss of my mom, who died very
suddenly in 1984 — she was 60, I
was 32. She was the inspiration for
the book. First I was missing her
and wanting her advice. I had an
ectopic pregnancy, an emergency
situation, I lost a fallopian tube,
couldn’t get pregnant, then adopted (my daughter) — all these
things she wasn’t there for. I wanted her advice and her solace, but after a while it stopped being all
about me because I realized, gosh,
the things I’m going through are
not so different from things she
went through — she lost her mom
at 20, she had five miscarriages,
and then five kids. And so all these
little similarities made me think not
so much about me but about what
was her life like: she was making
her way through life, and what
would she say if she could go back
and talk about those times in her
life and what would’ve helped her.
“I don’t have her but I could ask
really interesting, smart, accomplished women what they would
say if they could post a letter back
in time to themselves at a difficult
time in their lives. That was the
idea but I literally did not think of
this as something I should do, but
rather, wouldn’t that be a great
book to read? So I go back to my
work, doing my stories, and three

When you walk out of my door, don’t let
anybody raise you — you’ve been raised.
You know right from wrong.
In every relationship you make, you’ll
have to show readiness to adjust and make
adaptations.
Remember, you can always come home.
You will go home again when the world
knocks you down — or when you fall down
in full view of the world. But only for two or
three weeks at a time. Your mother will pamper you and feed you your favorite meal of
red beans and rice. You’ll make a practice of
going home so she can liberate you again one of the greatest gifts, along with nurturing your courage, that she will give you.
Be courageous, but not foolhardy.
lose pieces of yourself along the road. You
know how much you love to dance? You’ve
danced for the fun of it from the time you
were tiny. You went dancing with your
boyfriend in college and rocked out with
friends in your dorm. All that joy is going to
fall away because you’re going to stop dancing for 20 years — unless you take care to
listen to yourself and shepherd all the pieces
of who you are through to the future. Meditation has become the best way I know to listen to myself. The gift I give you are the
words I often say when I begin to meditate:
In stillness I notice how time and space
disappear. All there is is the present moment
and my willingness to listen. . . to allow the
stillness to speak.
The stillness takes me into a realm of conscious awareness that transcends my identity
as body or mind. Stillness offers an experience
of being and a recognition that my being.
EILEEN FISHER, clothing designer and
C. VIVIAN STRINGER, Rutgers wo-
entrepreneur, writing to herself in her 20s,
when she was a graphic designer and felt
trapped with no way out.
Dear Eileen,
I see you in the kitchen, the only real room
in that murky loft. You’re there because
you’re trying to make space for yourself as a
distinct person. You feel so negated, so
erased that you’re looking for a corner to call
your own. But here’s what you don’t know:
The space you’re searching for isn’t physical. You need psychological space. You need
to know that you can be alone - that you
should be alone - but you’re afraid to be.
Why are you so scared? You feel you have
to have a boyfriend. Without one, you feel incomplete. When you have one, you feel defined as a person. But, Eileen, that’s a trap.
What I can see, almost thirty years later, is
that you need time with yourself, not a friend
or a beau, to figure out what your thoughts
and feelings are. When you sit with yourself
alone, you can’t ignore them. They come
screeching at you. The only way to the other
side is through it. You may have to go through
pain, but on the other side is the good stuff.
You don’t have to be afraid of living alone.
I feel so sad to think of what will happen
if you don’t learn this huge lesson. You’ll

1981, before her husband, Bill, died of a
heart attack at age 47, leaving her a single
mother of three.
Dear V.I.,
The books tell you not to mix pleasure
with work. Not to mix family and friends
with your professional life. You’re trying to
be the consummate coach. But Vivian, when
your profession is as demanding as coaching, you have to work hard to find ways to
integrate your work with your family. The
days that you’ve already lost are gone forever. Life dictates that we will always work
hard but with that said, you must also live.
What is life, if it is just work? What makes us
happy? Your family, husband, children, parents, sisters and brothers are that for you.
You’re riding in a bus with the team as you
always do. Bill and the kids are following
you in the car, as they always do. Think of
how many hours they have ridden — and
will ride — without you sitting beside them.
It’s a small thing, but that is time you could
be with them that wouldn’t hurt your team.
You never know when that loved person
won’t be available to be with you. As much

What I Know Now
or four months later, this idea bubbles up again, and I think that
would be such a cool book. I did
this for about a year. And then I
said, maybe I’m supposed to do
this.”
As a freelancer she knew just
where to drop that next crumb:
pitch the idea to a magazine as a
monthly column, then put several
columns together and pitch it as a
book — that way she would be paid
along the way. “There was some
interest from Fortune and here and
there but nothing really came together, until ‘O’ came along and
said they wanted it not as a column
but as an article with five letters,”
says Spragins.
To write the article, she developed a process that she would later
use for all her books. Here’s how it
works: She interviews each woman
to decide the time in her earlier life
her letter will focus on. For about
two-thirds of the women she interviews, Spragins writes the draft of
the letter, “obviously trying to
make it in their voice” and then
there is more interviewing and finetuning. About a third of the time the
woman wants to write the draft, and
then Spragins gives them feedback.
“It’s a collaboration,” she says.
She turned in the “O” story —
featuring singer Trisha Yearwood,
women’s apparel designer and executive Eileen Fisher, Senator Barbara Boxer, African-American
novelist Breena Clark, and cartoonist Roz Chast — in spring, 2003.
The editor said it was great and they
paid her. But then they didn’t run it.
“In my world of journalism I assume if it’s not running within two
or three months, it’s killed. But
every time I checked with the editor, she would say, ‘Oh, no, we’re
going to run it, we’re just waiting
for the right fit.’Then I was afraid to
check in with her. And in my mind I
needed this for my book proposal.
Finally they did run it about a year
after I had turned it in.”
WOODSIDE AT THE OFFICE CENTER
Plainsboro, New Jersey
Talk to Me: Ellyn Spragins and women’s apparel
designer and CEO Eileen Fisher in an event cosponsored by Girls Inc. and American Express.
She had what she calls a “magical” bidding war, and the book was
bought by Broadway Books. “And
then I had to write the book. My
goal overall was to have a broad
group of women in terms of their
ages, their fields — and because it’s
a book and a publisher’s paying for
it, they want them to all be celebrities.” She chose women she was attracted to for a number of reasons.
“Madeleine Albright is obviously
really powerful, and she was close
to 70, and I was looking for advice
from older women. I chose Roz
Chast because I adore her kind of
nebishy, frumpy, angst-ridden
characters and their idiosyncracies.” (Chast appears on Friday,
October 14, at a benefit evening for
Princeton Public Library.)
She also chose Eileen Fisher
(whom she had interviewed for a
story in Fortune Small Business)
“because she is an entrepreneur and
to me she represents the anti-JackWelch approach to business management. In her case, her values are
so present in how she runs her company: for example, they have three
minutes of silence before starting
every meeting — they’re not praying or anything, they’re just getting
present. Jane Bryant Quinn I knew
from Newsweek, and she is just the
rock of integrity and truth-telling in
personal finance.”
Naturally, writing the book
taught Spragins a few lessons about
herself. “I learned I’m terrible at
hearing no, being rejected. Many
women I asked — or their gatekeepers — said no. I learned I’m
too sensitive; I’m the one who got
her feelings hurt really easily as a
kid in my family, and I cry too easily. Well it turns out there’s an upside
to that, which is that I’m very talented in perceiving the internal
emotional territory of someone else
when I’m talking to them while
they’re describing something and
then putting that into words. So I
have to say it felt like this was really such a fit for me finally. I loved
writing — I was a good journalist
but I was never a news junkie.
“When I speak now, one of the
things I’m trying to convey is that
there are these orphaned moments
in our lives, which are often the
moments women look back at and
choose to write to their younger
self and say, ‘you’re feeling this
but think about it this way.’ These
moments may come out of something a woman perceives as a
weakness in herself and often after
living their life, however they’ve
figured that out, it becomes their
strength. And that was true for me.”
“What I Know Now” sold
150,000 copies, spent two or three
weeks on the New York Times
bestseller list, and was a Books for
a Better Life finalist.
Before the second two books
came out, Spragins had already
been toying with idea of reframing
a new kind of business and career.
“I donate 10 percent of my proceeds to Girls Inc. (whose CEO,
Joyce Roche, has a letter in the first
book). Joyce had the idea of doing
an event, where I would speak and
have two other women and her
from the book there and the audience would be members of the
women’s interest group at American Express, and girls from Girls
Inc. So we did it with Joyce, gymnast Shannon Miller, and Eileen
Fisher. I told my story about the
idea and how it percolated and
some of the things I’ve learned
from working with these interesting women. And then each woman
read her letter. It was so moving.
That planted the seed.”
Around the time the book came
out, Spragins was working for Fortune Small Business, writing stories and a column, and owner Time
Inc was going through layoffs and
laid her off. She thought she would
spend six weeks or so promoting
the book. But she also had the idea
of pitching ghost-blog writing to
CEOS who didn’t have the time to
do their own blogs. She wanted to
bounce the idea off someone, and
spoke to Vern Harnish, who runs a
large consulting firm, Gazelle,
which does a lot of work with

CEOs. “At the very end, I told him
about the book that was coming
out. He said, ‘Ellyn, what are you
talking about, ghostwriting blogs.
This (the book) is your business.
You should be doing this 24/7.”
She threw herself into promoting the book. “I have generous
friends in different parts of the
country, and they’d have a party in
their house and invite their friends,
and I’d talk about the book.” And
then the serendipity crumb
dropped, the Big One. Spragins
had interviewed actress Jane Kaczmarek (formerly married to Brad
Whitford of “West Wing”) for the
book. “We were in touch about
something, and I mentioned I was
interested in promoting the book.
She said, ‘Well, I’m due to go on
‘Ellen’ in May, how about a
plug?’And right before Mother’s
Day. My book is lying on the table
between Ellen and Jane, and Ellen,
who clearly is not all that interested, asks, ‘so you want to talk about
this book.’ Jane described the
book, and says, ‘It’s a really wonderful book. I’ve got my motherin-law, and my kids, and my assistant in the audience,’ and the camera pans over to them. Jane says,
‘Well, now you know what you’re
getting for Mother’s Day.’And then
she says, ‘I think every woman in
America should get this book for
Mother’s Day.’ You could see the
Amazon number go down as the
ranking climbed, it got to, like, 67.”
Spragins then spoke at a Fortune
Small Business conference. (She
currently earns $3,000 to $15,000
per speaking engagement). Then,
at a Healthcare Business Women’s
Association conference in Boston,
she debuted what she now calls the
Letters to My Younger Self seminar. Spragins works with a small
pre-picked group of women on
their letters ahead of the conference, and then they read them to the
audience at the conference. “If
you’re in these high-powered companies with these intense jobs and
look at the senior women, you
might think, ‘they have so much
talent, they are sort of a different
breed.’ If you go to normal conferences, you’re really hearing the official version of their career. My
approach really pulls back the curtain on the inside journey and
shows them struggling with something. It’s a revelation for other
‘What I Know Now’

when actress Jane
Kaczmarek, whose
letter appears in the
book, talked about it
on the ‘Ellen’ show
— right before
Mother’s Day.
women in the company to realize
that these women had struggles too.
It’s a validating thing, like, ‘maybe
I could be a managing director at
Goldman Sachs, goddamit.’”
On Spragins’ website, www.letterstomyyoungerself.com, is a testimonial by one seminar participant
at that Boston conference, Lesa
Lardieri-Wright, then a senior VP
at Pfizer (now executive director of
Strategy North America Medical
Affairs at GlaxoSmithKline),
which reads: “All three of us on the
panel were surprised at how much
we learned from each other and by
the standing ovation of over 400
women attending the session.”
Spragins also can lead a whole
group in writing a letter to their
younger self in a workshop format.
Whether there are 100 or 600 people
in a room, Spragins divides the
women into groups of six or eight to
a table. First, she has them brainstorm about difficult times in their
younger life, perhaps in terms of
health or a relationship. “This helps
pinpoint what age they will write the
letter to,” says Spragins. Second,
she conducts exercises that help
them narrow that list down. Third,
she has each woman partner with
another to interview them about
their potential topic, and Spragins
gives them examples. Fourth, they
write an introduction about themselves to set the stage for the letter.
Fifth, each writes her letter. Then
each table votes on the letter they
think should be read from that table.
Finally, Spragins goes around
with a microphone and each woman
stands and reads her letter. “What’s
amazing about this experience is the
sharing of the letters. These women
feel bonded. There’s a huge vibe of
acceptance and validation. We realize there’s more that binds us together than sets us apart. If women
can build a bond with each other at
work, you as a woman are going to
be able to have an emotional link to
your work and realize you have resources at your disposal.”
Spragins has also created note
cards with quotations from the
books, which she is marketing to
gift stores, and a party kit for small
groups of women to do this on their
own. Both are currently available
on her website, www.letterstomyyoungerself.com.
Says Spragins: “This has been a
gift in my life, and to have it keep
growing. Women find it cathartic,
healing, and discover an intense
connection. I would like to bring
this concept in any form to every
woman in America.”

CHRISTINE TODD WHITMAN,
former NJ governor, writing at age
63 to her 54-year-old self in the fall
of 2000, when Dick Cheney offered her the job of EPAadministrator.
Dear Christie,
Your interest in politics has always been focused on leading
change. A regulatory position, in
which you simply enforce rules,
won’t satisfy you. A cabinet position is what you’d prefer - but that’s
not what’s being offered.
So, you have to decide. Will you
continue as governor for another
year - six months of which you will
be a lame duck? Or will you step up
into a national arena, even if it’s not
in an official cabinet position?
It’s difficult when a presidentelect asks you to do something to say
“no.” But that’s what you should do
now. Trust your gut. If it’s telling
you that this is the wrong job for you,
don’t do it. The worst problems you
have gotten yourself into happened
when you ignored the inner voice
that was telling you what to do.
You have pretty good instincts.
Let them work for you. Remember
one week after you became governor, when your campaign was accused of offering bribes to African
American ministers and black
mayors? Your instincts led you to
express your outrage to the press
and reach out to the Reverend Jesse
Jackson and the Reverend Al
Sharpton, who were prepared to
lead a demonstration against you.
Your instincts allowed you to turn
the tide while awaiting proof that
the accusations were false.
Frankly, that inner wisdom
knows things it’s impossible for
your brain to understand. About the
future, for example. There’s going
to be a big impediment to accomplishing what you want at the EPA.
And even though you only have six
productive months left in the governor’s office, there’s going to be a
cataclysmic event in 2001 that will
make you wish you were there,
rather than at the EPA, for the last
six months of your term.
BOBBI BROWN, founder of
Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, writing to
herself in high school.
Dear Bobbi,
School is a struggle and you get
down on yourself because you’re
not good at math and science. Your
father, a lawyer and a words person,
is always reading, and you wonder
why you don’t take after him more.
But don’t worry. You’ll soon discover that you’re creative, a visual
learner. And guess what. You’re going to be really successful.
Right now, in high school, you
know you’re not like everyone
else. Don’t let it get you down.
Everything you’re going through
now will inspire your philosophy
as a professional makeup artist:
help women look like themselves,
only prettier and more confident.
As for your questionable math
skills, know this: you’ll have your
own CFO one day.

Internet Marketing
A little more than a year ago
PIM signed Bowden’s (www.bowdensfireside.com), which was then
getting about 20 to 25 visitors a day
on its website. One year later Bowden’s site receives close to 250
clicks each day due to the search
engine optimization (SEO) by
Princeton Internet Marketing. If
you search “fireplaces Trenton” on
Google, Bowden’s comes up first.
PIM’s first rule is to avoid keywords for which there is a lot of
competition. “If you are trying to
rank for a word with 17 million
competing pages, it is very difficult, and it takes months, maybe
years, to get on the first page,” says
Poller.
Poller explains the thought
process behind keyword selection,
using one of his customers, Eclipse
Awnings, as an example. Eclipse
could not expect to rank highly for
the keyword “awnings” alone —
for that keyword Google offers
more than 19 million results, so
“awning” is too competitive a
term. By narrowing the keyword to
“retractable awnings,” results are a
little more than a million, which
still doesn’t work. But with the addition of “NJ,” a client would see
only 260,000 results, and Eclipse’s
local dealer, a division of Bowden’s Fireside, appears at or near
the top of the list.
And narrowing it to “retractable
awnings Princeton NJ” targets the
right kind of seeker. “People have
already made a buying decision
when they type this phrase, so the
conversion rate is much higher,”
says Poller.
The content of a website —
what the viewer sees and what is
hidden in the computer code that
creates the site — must reflect the
keywords a client wants to be
“found” for. Poller estimates that
about 6 percent of a page’s content
should use this keyword. A freelance writer for U.S.1 newspaper,
he suggests, might want to incorporate the keyword “business
writer” on his or her own website.
“For our SEO clients, we have
shifted a number of our resources
away from article writing and more
towards SEO via social media engagement,” Poller says. “Basically, we’re listening in on and engaging in conversations on behalf of
our clients and their products.”
Take Bowden’s as an example.
“If someone blogs about needing a
new awning over their patio, our
bloggers will step into the conversation with some resources to help
them along with their decision,
highlighting our client as a good
possible solution.”
To create buzz online, PIM also
tweets about its customers; creates
Facebook pages; writes blogs both
for the client’s website and to be
posted on other blogs relevant to
the client’s industry; and produces
videos that it posts on YouTube and
20 other video-hosting sites.
One critical element in Poller’s
search engine optimization strategy is his use of affiliate marketers.
Affiliate marketers put up websites
that consist entirely of links, whose
purpose is to drive traffic to other
websites. If a sale results, then the
affiliate marketer will be paid a
commission.
Poller notes that affiliate marketers were among the first to understand how to use search engine
optimization to get their affiliate
sites to come up first — even before the companies for which it was
selling products.
Poller also builds websites and
monitors social media for his
clients. “We ‘listen’ to 130 million
blogs,” he says. “If someone mentions anything that has to do with
anything related to that company
or a competitor’s product, we can
tell whether it is positive or negative, and then we can engage in the
conversations that are taking
place.” Suppose, for example, that
someone online talks about “investigating a franchise” or “looking at
franchise.” Poller can then step in
and say, ‘Hey, have you ever considered blah, blah, blah as a franchise option?’”
Finally, PIM offers a service
called reputation management. If,
for example, a client is subject to
cyber-bullying, where an angry
customer has been pouring nega-
Getting your message out has evolved
into an elaborate
dance of keywords.
SEO, and web links.
tive comments onto the web, Poller
can reach out to the business’s
clients to collect testimonials of
positive contributions it has made.
“The negative comments can be
‘stuffed’ to page 10 in Google, because there are 10 pages of positive
comments.”
Poller says that Princeton Internet Marketing has been growing
rapidly. Over the last six months,
its customer base has moved from
five advertising agencies to more
than 100 companies, among them,
a couple of franchises.
The company has nine salaried
employees and four consultants,
plus another 20 consultants he uses
on a project-by-project basis.
PIM’s gross revenue is about a million dollars, and has grown fivefold over the last six months.
Poller grew up in Englewood
Cliffs, where his father was a corporate attorney and his mother a real estate agent for multimilliondollar houses. “My mother was
great at sales and my father has a
great head for legal,” he says. “Between the two of them, I guess I got
that handed down to me.”
After graduating from college
Poller sold advertising space on the
backs of cash register receipts for a
marketing company. After earning
enough money to buy a 1977
brown Chevy van, he drove across
country, stopping at spring break
locations to sell more necklaces.
After short stints with a radio
station and an insurance investigations company he became an information technology headhunter for
Finders Inc. in Manhattan. “It was
in the mid-1990s, at the beginning
of the IT bubble, and I was able to
ride that wave for a number of
years while IT exploded,” he says.

Internet Marketing
Fastlane
Continued from previous page
Then 9/11 happened. Poller lost
many close friends, but what hit
him especially hard was that his
company had placed someone in
the towers that Monday who died
the next day. Poller stayed for two
more years, but weaned himself
out of the job.
He had accumulated a lot of
cash and he put all his extra bucks
into real estate — right before the
bubble. And although he had figured on leaving the industry, Poller
had people calling him and offering him money to put people in
their organizations. So, while he
flipped real estate, he used contacts in Internet technology he had
developed at Finders and ran a
consulting business.
About six or seven years ago he
found that more and more people
were looking for experts in Internet marketing. “I would be the gobetween for website creation,” he
says. This gave him an idea to
combine his knowledge of Internet
marketing and his familiarity with
commercial real estate.
The idea eventually evolved into the one for PIM, which, despite
how cutting edge it might be, still
has to keep up with the constantly
changing world of search engine
optimization.
“We have to change our strategy
whenever Google changes the algorithm, which they do monthly or
bimonthly,” says Poller. When this
happens, his clients’ rankings will
change, and he has to figure out
quickly why other sites made it to
page 1 instead, then duplicate and
improve on the strategies they
used.
Looking to the future, Poller
says the Internet will be even more
social-based than it is now. And
where the Internet will go, the
search engines will inevitably follow.
“Over the next few years the Internet will become a lot more like a
hive mind, where a bunch of brains
work as one to one positive end,”
says Poller. “Individual people’s
opinions are going to matter more
and more and that will determine
whether a business is successful.”

of the station. The suit cites a
clause in the 1984 deal the university made with NJ Transit, when
the school bought the station from
the agency, that Princeton could
not move the terminus of the
Dinky line more than 170 feet to
the south. The suit also claims that
the school did extend the line that
distance in 1987.
