Once Julie London sets her mind on a goal, her dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary.

Like Aesop's tortoise, Julie labors patiently and steadfastly until she achieves what she wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. She is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and she often shoulders more of the workload than her co-workers, usually without complaint. She often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. She prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to her success because once she gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for Julie London to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult.

She is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Julie London needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for her efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what she does. Julie's stamina and persistence are her greatest assets, but they can also work against her; she can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities.

No matter how much Julie accomplishes, she never seems to be completely satisfied. Julie London always feels that she can do more, and sets her sights on another goal. Julie London feels frustrated in limited circumstances, and she will abandon secure and reasonably successful situations if they do not offer challenges and future growth potential. London likes to keep stretching her limits, to see how far she can go. Sometimes London overextends herself or promises more than she can actually achieve, due to an overly optimistic or confident assessment of her own capacities. Julie London relishes healthy competition and feels that it spurs her on to even greater achievements.
