Rhinoceros success fliers7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() And I would submit that if your career is in sales or leadership, it’s not the pace for you either! If you really want to be a top loan officer or leader, you have to pin the pedal to the metal and roar down the highway because there’s always more in store for the daring! Be willing to dare to want more, to believe you are capable of more, and to charge after it with everything you have! And although I certainly have made my share of mistakes, have missed opportunities, and still have not “arrived,” living with purpose and an indomitable spirit has changed everything!Īnd while there’s nothing wrong with settling per se, I knew that wasn't an option for me. Sadly, I meet so many people in business today who are happy to coast through their lives and careers on cruise control, never really achieving their God-given potential or destiny. Thanks to his wisdom, for years I have charged forward with a gusto (or, as my wife puts it, a “peppiness”) that has led to both a very fulfilling career and life. My connection with Alexander’s playful but powerful world of cows (the average) and rhinos (hard-charging visionaries) was both instantaneous and refreshing. All I had to do was see the opportunities and be audacious enough to seize them, to quote my friend Scott! It changed my life, helped launch my career, and convinced me to wake-up a three-ton beast with horns and “2-inch thick skin” built for hunting down opportunities in a relentless pursuit for success in my life, faith, and career.įast forward 33 years and now, as a professional mortgage speaker, trainer and consultant, I’ve been blessed with countless opportunities over the years to better my life and others’. If you are looking to be more of a Rhinoceros in your business and create a life only a Rhinoceros can live, give your coach a call and have a fellow Rhinoceros show you the way.I am proud to be a rhinoceros! When I started my career in sales at age 20 as a pots-and-pans peddler, I had the great fortune of reading Scott Alexander’s classic book, Rhinoceros Success. Being a Rhinoceros is all about getting what you want. A Rhinoceros jumps out of bed every morning ready to charge at any opportunities no matter what’s in its way. ![]() When a Rhinoceros decides to charge down that goal, it charges it down massively and when a Rhinoceros charges massively absolutely nothing or no one will get in its way.īeing a Rhinoceros in business and life is all about success. When a Rhinoceros has a goal or opportunity in its sight, it focuses on that goal with a singleness of purpose. A Rhinoceros has a sense and smell that can pick up an opportunity from miles away. ![]() A Rhinoceros possesses very sharp eyes that miss absolutely nothing, a radar type hearing that detects the slightest noise. A Rhinoceros is one of the most powerful animals in the jungle. A Rhinoceros is a 7,000 pound, two inch thick skinned bundle of energy. How do we capture this success? The secret of hunting down success is in becoming a Rhinoceros. We know all this, however we also know that success is for us. We know that many have failed and only few will attempt this expedition. We know the odds are sometimes against us. The rewards are great, that we know, however the hunt is difficult at best. You and I are part of that group who must have success. No other animal in the jungle requires so much skill to hunt and capture.Īs rare as the animal is, rarer are the men and women who set up their own expedition in search of success. Success is so uncommon, so unique and so challenging, that you must have it. Success can be a clever animal, rarely exposing itself, always quick to flee should it sense danger of being caught. But you continue on, because you are too deep in the jungle now to head back without your prize. Success seems at times, an imaginary creature. It is truly a hard animal to capture, requiring lots of hard work, quick thinking, desire and persistence.Īt times the hunt can make you feel weak and dizzy from exhaustion. There are many hardships along the way that will tear at your heart and soul. It is rare and sought after, but only a few ever risk tracking it down. Somewhere, deep in the jungle where few dare venture, there lives a wild animal called success. ![]()
