Frank Shapiro's Past

It has taken him many years and quite a few life changing situations to bring Frank Shapiro to where he is and who he is today.

Frank started his working life as an optician. He tells of how he drifted into that career because his career teacher at school had been to the optician to get his spectacles adjusted the morning he met Frank. Frank stayed on that career path for 20 years.

Going into the opticians business is not something Frank is sorry about because it gave him a good life both financially and experientially. But it was not his ideal, dream job.

After working for a major optical company for a few years he took the plunge and started his own optician business. He built that business up to 11 successful practices. In 1995 he sold that company and went into music management. Yes, you read correctly. A bit of a change eh!

It was when he started running his own music management business that Frank realised that he was able to motivate people into having the life they really wanted. He worked with some very successful people in the music industry but one thing rang true for many of them; life was not as fulfilling as it could have been for them.

Frank used to get asked the question "is this what life is all about?" all the time from his clients. So he became one of these unusual mangers who began to help his clients achieve fulfilment in all parts of their life, professionally and personally.

It was then that he realised that his own professional interests lay in full time motivational work.

His Present and Future

He also delivers his relaxed talks on cruise ships and land based retreats all round the world as a guest speaker.

Ask Frank Shapiro how he now feels about his chosen career and he will tell you that he planned his career, lifestyle and life so that he can integrate work and pleasure all in one go, a far cry from his days as an optician.
