Welcome Back To Go Big to Give Big Podcasts with Randy Molland and Steve Arneson Today we are joined by Steve Sims! Do you know anyone that’s worked with Sir Elton John or Elon Musk? Sent people down to see the wreck of the Titanic on the sea bed? Or closed museums in Florence for a private dinner party and then had Andrea Bocelli serenade them while they eat their pasta? – you do now!
Quoted as “The Real Life Wizard of Oz" by Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, Steve Sims is the best selling Author of "BLUEFISHING - the art of making things happen”, a sought-after coach, Top rated speaker in the US speaker after keynoting at a variety of networks, groups and associations as well as the Pentagon and Harvard – twice! What would you achieve if you weren’t afraid of being laughed at?
In the age of “gotcha” culture, people are terrified to do anything that might be laughed at. Steve Sims is the exact opposite.
In Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals, Steve teaches you how to ignore what everyone else thinks and go for big, stupid, ridiculous goals. From organizing a private dinner in front of Michelangelo’s David to securing a tour of SpaceX led by Elon Musk himself, his accomplishments always start with the same questions: How far can I take this? What would make this a stupid achievement? Steve examines famously stupid goals in history, the key habits of successful people, and lessons from his career to helping you let go of your fear and get out of your own way.
If you do something amazing, you will be ridiculed until you are revered. Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.
Let’s hear more from the real-life Wizard of Oz himself! Steve Sims!
“You can't trust someone when they're selling something, but you can trust them when they’ve sold it”
