Welcome and News

This newsletter will be brief because, as you know from last month's issue, I'm due to give birth soon and I have a bit of nesting yet to do. But, believe it or not, I still have two more public appearances to make, plus I'm developing a new program that I'd like your help with so I wanted to give you the information, as you'll see in the article below, as soon as possible! If you're in the New York City area, tomorrow (Saturday, July 24) is the Harlem Book Fair. In the morning you can have breakfast with me and authors such as Eric Jerome Dickey and Donna Hill as we read the nominees for the African American Literary Awards Show's First Annual Open Book Awards. That's happening at 10am-12noon at Mo-Bay Uptown, 17 West 125th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues. Admission is $20. The main street fair, located on West 135th Street near Lenox Avenue, is free and opens at noon. I'll be at the St. Martin's booth at 4pm signing copies of my novel, "All I Need to Get By" and I believe my publisher will also raffle off a few copies, so come on by. I'd love to see you! I'd like to welcome all new "Living the Dream" subscribers, including my Clearview High School classmates. We recently celebrated our 20th reunion and though I couldn't travel to Lorain, Ohio in person, our class president Karalynne Betzel-Vitas provided the use of her cell phone and passed it around the room so I could catch up with everyone in attendance. I felt like I was really there. Thanks Karalynne! Best wishes and be well. Sophfronia Harlem Book Fair Information »

Meet The E-Zine Queen!

I get so many compliments on "Living the Dream" that I thought it time to give credit where credit's due: to Alexandria Brown. She's known as The E-Zine Queen and she is THE source for learning how to build your business by publishing your own e-zine. She offers teleclasses, CDs, e-books and she's also a terriffic public speaker. I had the pleasure of meeting Alexandria in person last fall and we became fast friends. You can tell she's someone who loves what she does. She's also whip-smart and everything she writes is just stuffed with valuable information. You can see for yourself by signing up for one of her two free biweekly e-zines: "Publish for Profits" is an award-winning publication that will show you how to create your own e-zine, get plenty of subscribers and promote your services/products in the most friendly and attractive way possible. In "Straight Shooter Marketing", Alexandria shares her best tips for successful online marketing, including how to drive more traffic to your web site. I've had clients whom I've referred to Alexandria and now they're publishing their own e-zines with great satisfaction. You don't have to have a business to reap the benefits of an e-zine. One of my clients wanted to write more and share self-care information to help women empower themselves, so she created an e-zine that does just that. You could also write a newsletter to show off your expertise in a particular subject and use it as an extension of your resume to help you stand out among other prospects when looking for a new job. Writing an e-zine could be the right thing for you, so check out Alexandria's site and get inspired. Happy publishing! Visit Alexandria's E-Zine Queen Web Site »

Are You Walking the Walk?

When 2004 began you had big plans: New Year's resolutions, goals you wanted to accomplish, changes you wanted to make. Now that the year is more than half over, how is it going? Are you on point with your goals? Or have you been doing more talking the talk than walking the walk? If you find you're all talk and no walk, then I want to hear about it! What's keeping you from taking action? What do you need to get you moving? I'm developing a new program, "Walking the Walk", that will help people do what they say they want to do and live the way they say they want to live. My plan is to unveil the program in a magazine article towards the end of the year and your story could be featured in those pages. You can help me develop "The Walk" and I will coach you to get a fresh start on your 2004 goals. To that end, I'm going to hold a day of free consultations on Friday, July 30. You won't need an appointment, just know that from 10am-8pm Eastern time I will be available to speak with you about what you've got going on in terms of your hopes, obstacles and goals. You can reach me at 917-327-9673. By the way, your 2004 goal might be to explore new career options. Since so many of you downloaded my free career report last month I'm providing it again here in case that's the subject you want to discuss in your consultation. A friend once told me, "start walking and you will find your way". Give me a call and we'll work on you taking those first steps of what I believe will be an incredible journey.

Assessments for You

The assessments part of my site has also become hugely popular, so I'm featuring them again here to help you prepare for your consultation. Just to remind you, these wonderful tools were developed by Coach U., where I received my training, and they can really get you thinking about where you most need to make change happen in your life. Enjoy, and I look forward to talking to you next Friday! Copyright 2004 Sophfronia Scott. All rights reserved. Go to Assessments »
