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.
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.
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.
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.
I don’t feel I’ve sacrificed a thing, although I hear that is popular.
Never!
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.
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.
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!
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.

Definitely agree re putting self first and caring for yourself. As a working women with three teenage daughters and growing my yoga business, time is short and it is easy for me to put my children first, but i am realising by concentration on my health (inner and outer), eating well and getting enough sleep, I have more energy and time to spend with my girls and business development. And I feel great!! Win Win situation….. love your idea of having a VA to delegate tasks…..
Ntathu, Thanks so much for your comment. While it seems selfish, I call it self care and without that none of us will thrive! And after you finish your new eBook on how Yoga can help working women–that's US! you can eventually delegate some of the marketing work. Create a top eBook as a great way to attract your audience to you.
Congrats!
Glenys, Straight talk is so useful. Too bad many are afraid of it.
Wonder what project are you working on now? Keep me posted if I can help.
Fabulous interview Judy. I love the question and your answer on vacations. Yes, the mini – outdoor vacations are amazing.
And you too are amazing! Rock on!
Kathleen, Being myself and Ok with that has been my lifelong path–I'd like book writers to be OK with their talents too, and not fear online marketing so much.
I'm so excited for you and your new project. You are the powerhouse in room.
