JEFFREY GITTERMAN – AUTHOR AND AWARD WINNING FINANCIAL ADVISOR
DISCUSSES BEYOND SUCCESS: REDEFINING THE MEANING OF PROSPERITY
7:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 7, 2009 at the Greenwich Water Club
(GREENWICH, Conn., September 26, 2009) – Jeffrey L. Gitterman is an award winning financial advisor and the founder and CEO of Gitterman & Associates, a full service financial firm (www.gittermanassoc.org <http://www.gittermanassoc.org/>) . In these challenging economic times, Jeff recently started Beyond Success, a consulting firm, coaching and business training company that brings more holistic and ethical values to the business world www.beyondsuccessconsulting.com <http://www.beyondsuccessconsulting.com/> . He will be speaking in Greenwich, Conn., about his newest book, Beyond Success: Redefining the Meaning of Prosperity at the Greenwich Water Club, Wednesday, October 7, from 7:00 -8:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. The Greenwich Water Club is located at 49 River Road, Cos Cob, Conn. Please RSVP in advance to: 203-661-4033. (http://www.greenwichwaterclub.com).
Over the past several years, Jeff has been featured and interviewed in numerous national and local TV, print and radio programs, including Money, CNN, Financial Advisor, News 12 New Jersey, and The Dr. Pat (Bacilli) Show. He was honored by Fortune Small Business as “One of Our Nation’s Best Bosses” and has been a top-rated keynote speaker at numerous national conferences for the financial, insurance and spiritual capitalism markets, directly engaging with 10-15,000 business professionals annually. Jeff also serves as the chairman of the advisory board to the UMDNJ Autism Center and chief organizer of its annual awareness fundraiser.
Jeff himself is a rags-to-riches story who eventually came to see first hand the old cliché that “money isn’t everything.” In Beyond Success: Redefining the Meaning of Prosperity (AMACOM; $22.00), he shares his story and the principles he has derived from his own life experiences as a way of helping others to see that happiness is not the result of material success, but rather a state of mind. Jeff’s philosophy is based around a model he’s been teaching for several years called the Four Pillars of Success. These pillars are relatively simple, but if practiced with sincerity can have dramatic results. He writes:
“PILLAR ONE is that we have to have some practice rooted in silence; whatever it is that allows you to get in touch with your Source. Because in my mind and on an energetic level, it’s almost like we’re an electrical appliance, or a hybrid car; one of the old ones that you had to plug in. At some point in the day we’ve got to plug in. I recommend at least 5 to 15 minutes every day. It doesn’t matter if it is sitting in the shower if that’s the only place you can find any quiet, because that’s actually where I find mine. Fifteen minutes every morning in the shower with the water running, in the quiet, because I have an autistic child that starts talking at 6 AM when he wakes up and doesn’t stop until 10 PM when he goes to sleep, and that’s about the only 15 minutes of silence I can find. So we have to have a practice rooted in silence, and from a scientific measure, we’re just recharging our energy. Otherwise we go out in the world and have nothing to share.
PILLAR TWO is that we have to have an idea of what our unique creative expression is in the world: i.e. what each of us feels we have been placed on this earth to do. And it doesn’t have to be right. Because as Norman Schwarzkopf said in a seminar I once saw him give, was that the worst thing he saw in the army was that no one was making any decisions. The only way to know that anything is right is to make a decision, and if it’s wrong, correct it. I say the same thing for individuals, because most of us spend our entire lifetime waiting for someone to tell us what our unique expression is, or kind of knowing what it is but waiting for someone to come and reinforce it. So pick something, literally, that you sense is your unique expression, and seek to build a life around it that offers something to the world.
PILLAR THREE is that you have to have a forward vision, three to five years out, of what your unique creative expression looks like in the world. The way I teach people to do this is to have a two to three minute movie that you can play in your head all day long, especially as you go to bed at night. A two-minute movie of you and what a day in the life of you looks like: the house you live in, the car you drive, where and what you do at work. Are you singing to an audience? Are you best plumber in the world? Are you the best insurance salesman, doctor, accountant or basketball player? What does that vision look like three to five years out in a perfect day in the life of you? And then give it up to the Universe because in all likelihood that vision, while it may come true, will find reasons to change and grow as you make it bigger and better. We need to give our energy a direction to move in. It’s critical that we do that. Otherwise, we flounder. It’s like getting in our car without a navigation system and driving around with no idea where we're going.
PILLAR FOUR is that what we do has to be grounded in service. There is nothing to get. If I can leave you with any message, it’s that. There is nothing to get. There’s no money to get; no love to get; no sex to get; no happiness to get. There’s nothing to get that isn’t already in us. The world shows up and reflects what we are. If we have lack in our life, it’s because we're holding on to lack within ourselves. If we’re seeing things we don’t like, it’s because we're seeing things within ourselves that we don’t like. There is nothing outside in the world that we could possibly get that could fulfill us except to fulfill our own dreams of who we are.”
Jeffrey Gitterman will be making a special appearance at the Greenwich Water Club at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 7. Please RSVP in advance at 203-661-4033. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, visit http://www.beyondsuccessconsulting.com, http://www.gittermanassoc.org or http://www.greenwichwaterclub.com.

09/28/09 You Can Commenmt On This Greenwich Time Article About A Town Sex Offender At Topix If You Want To
Sex offender who opposed child safety ordinance heads to trial - TOPIX GREENWICH A town sex offender who spoke out vehemently against banning sex offenders from loitering near schools and playgrounds will face trial Tuesday for failing to comply with the conditions of his release.
Ernest Drupals, 38, of 29 Carrona Drive, was charged in February 2008 with violation of his probation as a sex offender by Stamford police. Police said Drupals moved from Stamford to Greenwich without notifying authorities of his change of address.
Under state law, registered sex offenders face a Class D felony charge if they fail to comply with any registration requirements, which includes notifying Connecticut State Police in writing within five days of when they move or change their names....
....Drupals attorney, Mickey Sherman, was not available for comment Monday.
However, Sherman previously stated that Drupals had been diligent in following the law and did not believe his client ever violated the conditions of his release.
After pleading not guilty last year, Drupals elected to have a judge hear his case. Law enforcement officers are expected to testify at the court trial, which is only expected to last a few hours.
Drupals could face a maximum sentence of 5 years and a fine of up to $5,000 if convicted.

Lavery, Tesei at odds over elderly tax deferral plan - TOPIX GREENWICH
A little over a month before the first selectman's race is decided, Republican incumbent Peter Tesei and Democratic challenger Lin Lavery are clashing over a proposal to allow low- and middle-income seniors to put off paying their property taxes until after they die or sell their home.
Lavery, a selectman who came into office two years ago at the same time as Tesei, accused her opponent Monday of trying to railroad the plan through before the Nov. 3 municipal election to score points with elderly voters.
"I clearly feel this is political," Lavery said in an interview with Greenwich Time. "I feel you're trying to placate the seniors who were not happy that the (existing) elderly tax relief program was not fully funded...."

It wasn't a bird, a plane or Superman, but residents of downtown Greenwich thought a myriad of lights in the sky just may have been an unidentified flying object passing overhead Saturday night.
The bright, moving lights in the sky caused several people to call police to report a possible UFO sighting. Some reports indicated there had been 30 to 40 individual lights glowing in the night sky.
The questions prompted police to send two marine officers to investigate the sighting.

Parents, teachers, students and community leaders would not have to wait until 2011 or later to make their opinions about the school system known to administrators, under a proposal being pushed by the superintendent.
Schools chief Sidney Freund wants the Harris Interactive School Poll administered later in the 2009-10 school year. The community satisfaction survey has been given every two years since 2006.
The Board of Education cut funding for the survey earlier this year to save about $38,000 in a 2009-10 budget that had to be trimmed by $4 million to help counter a town-wide revenue shortfall....

However, the self proclaimed "foremost psychic in New England" was arrested by Greenwich police over the weekend after detectives said she lied about being attacked in town by rival psychics in over the summer.
Lee, 35, of 143 Wolfpit Ave., Norwalk, was charged Saturday with falsely reporting an incident, interfering with an officer and providing a false statement after turning herself into police on an arrest warrant....

09/28/09 MTA Backing Down on Free Use of Train Schedules, Letters
Last month we noticed a guy who'd created an iPhone app for Metro-North schedules was embroiled in a copyright/fair use dispute with the MTA. The Authority wanted big bucks to provide him with information he was loading more efficiently himself. Now Chris Schoenfeld, creator of StationStops, seems off the hook -- as may be other developers who want to put train info on your phone. The New York Times says "a longstanding fight against a Greenwich, Conn., commuter, who created an application with Metro-North Railroad schedules, suddenly ended with no money changing hands." And though his blog doesn't mention it, Schoenfeld's Twitter feed announced on the 22nd, "ITS OVER! CONGRATULATIONS TO MTA FOR PEACEFULLY ENDING THEIR LEGAL BATTLE WITH STATIONSTOPS!"...
The fees MTA had been demanding of another man who made an LIRR schedule app are being withdrawn, too. MTA says it's just "trying to evolve," but the Times suggests "pressure from politicians and technology advocates" were at play. Other cities have cooperated with developers on similar apps, and in June Mayor Bloomberg started a contest, inviting techies to put public city data into software applications. (Maybe soon you'll be able to download David Yassky's "It's Your Money" info to your phone, so the next time you're outraged by a city agency you can see how much money they got to serve you so poorly.)
Try as we might, we can't find a downside to this trend. It's even got Schoenfeld and San Francisco's Joe Moore -- who was battling New York's MTA, which apparently thought it owned all colored dots with letters in them, over the right to twit his local system with t-shirt logos like "L-ate," and won -- blogging about things besides their legal struggles, like a coffee machine in Schoenfeld's case, and business team best practices in Moore's. Well, okay, maybe it's not all good.

09/28/09 Greenwich couple may help fund needed Stonington animal shelter repairs
Stonington - The town is looking at renovating and expanding the aging animal control facility and a Greenwich couple, who have a home here, have indicated they may help pay for the work.
First Selectman Ed Haberek said Sunday that the anonymous couple have been in discussions with Police Chief J. Darren Stewart about the work, and have hired their own contractor to look at what work needs to be done and how much it would cost.
Haberek said a resident recently asked him to look at the facility, which is located at the landfill on Greenhaven Road, because she was concerned about the deteriorating condition of the building.

09/28/09 READER SUBMITTED COMMENTS: The Ant & The Grasshopper
This one is a little different....
Two Different Versions! ................. Two Different Morals!
OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant i s warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant 's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim i n an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he d oesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
