Like Aesop's tortoise, Monica 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 Monica Keena to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult.

She is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Monica Keena 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. Monica'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. Monica Keena also tends to play it safe, and to limit herself as a result.

Her professional goals and long-range ambitions may be vague and difficult for Monica Keena to define for quite a long time.
