Hearst's Cathy Black was and probably still is a workaholic who remembered to have kids after she was 40 years old

Published: Thursday, November 08, 2007

-BY ZOE S.

Hearst Magazines CEO Cathy Black is a woman that has it all, the powerful job, the pay check to go with it, the celebrity friends and no doubt the nice house and cars. But don't you dare say that to her unless you know her definition of having it all. In her recent blog posting on Huffpost.com Cathy tells us about how she was a workaholic in her twenties and that she started to have kids after she was 40 yrs old, but it still worked well for her. Cathy goes on to explain that, every woman has, or should have their own definition of success. For some, success is being home with the kids pulling your hair out. For others like herself it's sitting in the corner office calling the shots.

As someone who is often perceived as "having it all," let me just say this outright: I hate that phrase. The implication is that every person wants exactly the same thing, which is completely untrue. You don't have to marry the lawyer or doctor, win the U.S. Open in tennis, and become a CEO all in the same year in order to find success and happiness. Blindly striving to have it all is not the answer. Having what I call a 360° Life isn't about reaching the top in everything you do, it's about achieving balance. It means creating a fully rounded existence, one that encompasses deep satisfaction with your personal life, work, and family.

Cathy should really be a regular on Oprah. Seriously I would watch.

Huba! Huba!

I would bet that this picture had to have been taken a few years back.

Question is how long is a few years?

Her group----Hearst Digital Media---must be under the gun after the Victor Ganzi palace coup; let's face it--$5B total company revenue and they can muster like $100 mill digital? Late to the game, poor execution...she should be looking over her shoulder big time. Definitely not "Delish" results.
