Who is Judy Cullins in Work and the World?

This March 2010 interview, with a great business and personal coach, Joanne Victoria, made me think my web visitors may also want to check me out personally as well as with business.

Because, we all have many sides to us that make us tick.

What do you agree with or disagree with below? Please comment at the end.

1. Where and how do you put yourself first?

I’m always first, or how could I create success for my business of full-service book coaching, if I didn’t take very good care of me! I also put my clients first, because I can’t do it any other way.

2. When was your last vacation?

Each year I take about 4 mini vacations to different hot springs in California, go camping with friends to swim, play bridge, and car tips to interesting local wineries or other beautiful nature spots, and one big one to a Caribbean Island for 2-4 weeks, depending. I don’t take a lap top; I delegate all the work to my VA and web master when I’m gone, so I can really relax; I snorkel and read good books and play with my long-time partner, Bill, on the beach.

3. What accomplishments are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of learning to do what it takes to make me successful and healthy, and spiritually motivated, and doing it every day. Learn from mentors. Pay for it. Put it into action, or nothing comes of it.

4. What sacrifices have you made to be a successful businesswoman?

I don’t feel I’ve sacrificed a thing, although I hear that is popular.

5. Do you feel guilty when you put yourself first?

Never!

6. Where do you (or others) think you are too much?

Well, I am a whirling dervish with a mission. Smile. So I don’t really care what others say. No people pleasing because it doesn’t work.

7. Where do you (or others) think you are not enough?

I’m sure others may not think I’m the cat’s meow, but I’m OK with that. I think I’m just enough.

8. What do you think is the difference between men and women starting and starting/owning/being successful in their own business?

Well, men come from their left brain and count bottom line. Women come from their hearts and head, and love to share with their friends, online audience, and others as a natural state. It’s organic!

10. What would you change in your pursuit of a successful business?

I’m changing every day and week. I’m learned how to make Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter plus blogging work for me, and am now coaching others on it! I learn from other blogs, my web master, and all the LI group discussions I chime in on. I even created my own book writing, self-publishing and marketing group at LI, which is kickin up a storm.
