Amanda Marshall
drive and ambition

She is a perfectionist and has high standards for her own work. Amanda Marshall often feels that if she wants something done right she must do it herself, for others do not do as thorough a job as she does. Doing a task well is very important to her, and she may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Amanda Marshall strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and she becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

On the other hand, Amanda Marshall can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical that she will not even attempt many activities and projects, feeling that her efforts will simply not be good enough. She is usually modest and realistic in assessing what she can accomplish and, if anything, Amanda Marshall underestimates herself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and if Marshall does apply herself diligently in a given area, she gradually gains self-confidence as she masters skills and develops expertise.

Amanda Marshall conserves her energy and paces herself so that she does not waste or diffuse her efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit her opportunities. In short, Marshall may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

She is likely to be known for her drive, energy, ambition, and competitive spirit. A successful career based on her ability to take initiative, be a leader, or excel in physical strength and prowess is likely. Amanda Marshall most definitely wants to be a winner and will work hard to achieve that.

Amanda Marshall seems to be driven to succeed and she works indefatigably toward the realization of her goals. Amanda has the ability and strength to master the greatest tasks, but tends to over-tax her nerves and physical strength to the point of a break down.

Amanda Marshall has a strong need to gain power and she tends to dominate or manipulate other people. But in her push for success, power struggles could also thwart Marshall's efforts and she could become the victim of someone else having control over her.

Amanda Marshall has a talent for putting fresh ideas and inspiration into practice. She is ready and willing to apply new ideas and methods, and she has a knack for gaining acceptance for a new idea and implementing it.

Language, words, communication, networking, clarity of speech or writing, being a messenger or go-between - these are key features in her career, as well as how Amanda Marshall goes about achieving her goals and ambitions. "Work smarter, not harder" is Marshall's motto.

She may have to overcome something in her background or personal past in order to achieve her long-range goals and ambitions. Sometimes Amanda Marshall is apt to feel pulled in two different directions - what others expect of her or what she needs to do to progress, versus what her old conditioning or her emotional predisposition would have her do. Overcoming the pull of the past is the key.

Amanda Marshall achieves her professional goals and long-range ambitions through self-discipline, concentration, and climbing the mountain one step at a time. Unlike the lucky few for whom all doors seem to magically open, Amanda has to formulate a realistic plan and follow it diligently in order to succeed. Amanda Marshall will have to pay her dues and endure a few setbacks. Patience is her ally.

Her father or grandfather probably influenced Marshall's choice of career, and will back her up - as long as Amanda chooses to follow in their footsteps.

She is attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and which offer Amanda Marshall a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not her cup of tea. Amanda may make her living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area or talent, and she is happiest when she can create a place in the world for her unique combination of different talents and interests. It is hard and unnatural for Amanda Marshall to try to fit herself into a ready-made mold.

She is likely to be quite sensual and has a strong desire to become one in soul and body with the object of her affection. Amanda Marshall may have a strong feeling that by herself she is not quite complete and that she needs someone else to make her whole.
