Are You A Rhino? Success Requires it! By Lena Sanchez
The Rhinoceros is a majestic animal. Be it maybe ugly to some,
but majestic no less. When the Rhino wants to get somewhere
nothing can stop it. A Rhino has a skin so thick that arrows
cannot penetrate it. A Rhino will run over whatever is in his
path to get to his goal.
I believe a Rhino is really and entrepreneur in disguise. When a
Rhino has set a path nothing can deter him from its goal, tunnel
vision of sorts. A Rhino doesn't absorb the arrows shot at him,
they just bounce off the tough hide. The Rhino isn't rude just
committed and single minded. A Rhino doesn't know how to be
dishonest!
Remember the games you played as a child? Were they games that
mimicked what your life watched? My five sisters and I had a
schoolhouse or hospital, depending on how we felt that day. We
built it out of old beds that we dragged from a garbage dump
about a mile from our house, (Parents weren't too happy with
that) and we taught each other everything we knew which,
happened to be what we had absorbed from our parents or
teachers. Sadly none of those lessons were how to be successful
at business because we did not see that in our parents. My
father was a farm labor/share cropper and knew nothing about
business either. My mother was busy having and raising children
so she had no outside business sense. So as I grew I started
watching people I admired and began to work at figuring out how
to get where they were. I spent lots of years in that mode. I
did not know how to ask any one of them to be my mentor… At play
I learned about the Rhino and fell in love with it as an example
of life. As I grew older I truly learned the Rhino lessons that
taught me how to succeed!
A true Entrepreneur gets an idea then goes at it with tenacity
and stick-to-it-ive-ness, and rightly so if he/she wishes to
succeed, just as a Rhino after food or water. Something I've
learned over the years that puts me in the same category, when
an article pops into my head or an a ad that can't be forgotten
I go for it and nothing or no one can stop me until it is in my
computer, to my husbands chagrin. He thinks I'm a loner and
maybe there is some validity there as I need space and time to
put it all together in my head then into my trusty computer.
Anyone who doesn't write or isn't an entrepreneur at heart
cannot possible understand.
We are born with the innate sense of entrepreneurial ship and a
glow of desire sits in ALL of us as a child until the
world/family says, "You can't do that." Without realizing that
we are being programmed to fail by our friends and family, most
of us listen and believe. Have you chosen to listen to those
that say, "You can." or those that say, "You can't"?
Are you an entrepreneur or striving to be an entrepreneur? Do
you have this burning desire to succeed and don't know how to
get there? Above all things there are some rules you must follow
to get there and that is, hurt no one, be honest with all people
but most of all be honest with yourself! Find the right
program/product/service that you can feel that Rhino passion
for. But one of the most important goals in that travel is to
find a mentor who has been where you want to go that is willing
to help you get where you want to be!
There is a slight difference in a Rhino and a human being. A
Rhino can't rationalize nor stop his path when committed. We, on
the other hand have the ability to do both. If we try something
and it doesn't work we have the ability to stop and change
paths, and that is necessary at times. Also we can rationalize
and survey what we are about to do decide whether it is right
for us or not. We do not have to listen to the negative barbs of
unmotivated lazy people in our lives. If they don't have what
you want slough them off your back!
My first two years on the Internet was very trying and
disappointing. I had to stop and survey what I was doing,
evaluate people and make a 360 degree change, a couple of times.
My mentors that said they wanted to help me only gave lip
service and no actual help. In building Medical Facilities I
also had to change directions many times as I was dealing with
different personalities in each one, but I never deviated from
the final goal of succeeding.
I started out on the Internet very excited and sure of myself.
Having been very successful at building and growing medical
practices for 17 years I was sure I knew what I was doing and
could make this Internet business work for me with a little bit
of information gleaned from several sources online. Mind you, I
did not know those sources personally and felt that every one
was being a true entrepreneur and being honest with me… What a
fool I was and naive to the Internet. Yes, there are a lot of
scammers online but also there are more good, honest,
hardworking people than dishonest. If I had given in to the
negative aspect and thought that all people were dishonest I
would have given up.
I took a Rhino run and went strait ahead with determination and
a positive attitude, knowing that I could and would succeed and
I have. I found an online multimillionaire mentor, drove
hundreds of miles to meet him personally to be sure he was what
he appeared to be and the rest is history. Two years now of
succeeding with his road plan and information…
I developed the skin of a Rhino so that I cannot absorb the
negative barbs sent my way. When family doesn't take my
work-at-home career seriously I simply smile to my self and
think, "They are so simple minded!" If they are happy working 9
to 5 in a mundane JOB (just over broke) with no true security, I
feel bad for them but it's their choice, I'm don't try to change
their mind, I'm too busy making money! When someone sends me an
email accusing me of spamming when I know I haven't I shake it
off and go on. People forget they subscribed to something
because the Internet has so much thrown at them that going on to
another site sometimes wipes out the actions taken shortly
before and the mind goes blank. I continue on my Rhino path!
