Why do you think cows and sheep are not found in the jungle? They couldn’t survive.” - Scott Alexander, Rhinoceros Success “As a rhinoceros, you are always on the alert. Who shower briskly, brush their horns quickly, and dress in their rhino garb to charge into jungles teeming with opportunity. In reading Rhinoceros Success, you will find a like-minded community of success-driven professionals who “get out of bed like a rhinoceros-not a sloth!” (Alexander). 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’. But with so many projects in store, Sony shows no signs of slowing down as they gear up for more installments to their live-action Spider-Verse.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. Whether the Kraven the Hunter spin-off will resonate with audiences remains to be seen, especially following the critical and financial reception of Morbius. Alongside the aforementioned films, Sony also plans to produce a spin-off project on El Muerto, with Bad Bunny attached to star and filming expected to commence later this summer. However, the upcoming film certainly won’t be the last as Sony Pictures is doubling down on additional projects, with a third Venom film already on the way alongside Madame Web, which debuts next February. Kraven the Hunter is the latest in a wave of Spider-Man spin-offs from Sony Pictures following the success of the Venom franchise. ![]() RELATED: 'Kraven the Hunter': Release Date, Cast, Filming Details, and Everything We Know so Far About Sony's Next Spider-Man Spinoff Kraven is the Latest in Sony’s Live-Action Spider-Man Franchise
