Frank Doran
drive and ambition

Frank Doran has a warrior's attitude - decisive, courageous, and bold. Frank tends to always crave action, even when waiting for an opportune moment or not doing anything at all would actually be effective in the long-term. He absolutely cannot tolerate being passive or even patient about getting what he wants. Frank Doran feels that it is up to him to take the initiative and he pursues his goal or desire very aggressively.

He is also self-reliant, in that he does not depend on others to do things for him or help him along, and Frank Doran is often irritated when other people offer advice or direction. Cooperation rarely comes easily to him. He is willful and can be quite oblivious to others' desires or feelings when he is pursuing something he wants. He is highly competitive, enjoys a challenge or a good fight, and may be downright pugnacious at times. Abounding in energy and enthusiasm at the start of a new venture, Frank Doran needs a very positive response and encouragement in order to sustain his interest throughout. If a project is not successful from the start, he is liable to drop it and move on to something else rather than rework or refine it. He has a strong desire to blaze new trails and put his own twist to things. Doran can discover, invent and initiate new things, but he is impatient and may lack the stamina and perseverance needed see a long-term project through.

It is not easy for Frank Doran to show the world at large his angry or competitive side, but his family sees this side of him more often. Temper tantrums, tumultuous family relationships, or a great deal of competition between Doran and one or more of his relations, are likely. Frank Doran likes to be the one in charge in his home and he puts a lot of energy into making things go his way.

Unless he has a goal that transcends merely personal gain, Frank Doran is apt to become deeply discontented, aimless and uncertain of his direction in life. At his best, Frank Doran will work or fight for a greater cause, and feel fulfilled through serving the greater good. However, should he lack the necessary focus, Doran could be confused and easily persuaded to do things that are either unethical or simply ineffectual.

Frank Doran has a strong sense of mission and instinctively knows that in order to achieve anything great, one must eliminate superfluous activities and give oneself wholly to the task at hand. His zeal, enthusiasm and clarity of purpose enable Frank Doran to succeed and to achieve whatever he sets his mind to. Frank Doran has a strong will, but is usually quiet and understated by nature.

Frank Doran's capacity to tolerate tension and ambivalence, compromise, and endure discomfort helps him to confront the challenges and difficulties in life. Remaining steadfast in the midst of crisis or sudden change, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes are manifestations of these skills. Frank's timing is usually good.

His drives and ambitions in life may seem crazy or eccentric to the more conservative people Frank knows. There may well be no security or safety net (no retirement pension, no insurance benefits) in the work Frank Doran is engaged in. He is suited for freelancing, or professions that involve lots of change, innovation, variety, irregular schedules and the like. Frank Doran should expect the unexpected and numerous ups and downs throughout his life. He may change courses often and try many different things.

Doran may enjoy a magically easy road to success and public recognition. Doors open for Frank Doran and opportunities abound. He may have more offers than he can follow up on. This is mostly due to his positive and generous attitude. Frank's ambitions in life may have a spiritual component - based on a concern for social betterment or humanitarian ideals.

Achieving his professional objectives or advancing in his career often requires considerable sacrifice on Frank's part. Specifically, Frank Doran often feels that he must deny or at least compromise some very essential aspect of his in order to succeed professionally, protect his reputation, or what have you - and this is something Doran may or may not be willing to do. Pure, unrestrained self-expression may well be more important to him than "going places" in a worldly sense. This is not to say Frank Doran will not progress or succeed, only that he will do it on his own terms.

Frank Doran has a tendency to say things that may unintentionally put off those in a position to advance his career and professional ambitions. Perhaps it is not what Frank says, but the manner in which he says it or the timing. At times Frank Doran is apt to feel that he must stifle certain thoughts and opinions in order to succeed in reaching his goals. Mostly, however, Doran will need to be shrewd, tactical and conscious of how his words will affect his listeners.

Sometimes his emotional or romantic interests detract Frank Doran from his professional progress and the achievement of his long-range goals. Friendship with colleagues and especially superiors may be lacking, or prove to be a detrimental to Doran in a roundabout way. It seems that Frank must choose either business or pleasure - work or love. These two arenas simply do not go together very well for him.

His emotional life is likely to be strained and Frank has a tendency to be a loner. His outlook could be a bit one-sided and Frank Doran may find it hard to compromise. It is difficult for him to maintain good give-and-take relationships.
