Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine has called Steve “The Real Life Wizard of Oz”.
 
Steve’s focus is to get you uncomfortable, pull out the “Whys” and, “Oh, I could never do that” and save you years, scars and money by getting you where you should be versus where you are not heading.

Steve Sims (born 1966) is the founder and CEO of the luxury concierge service Bluefish. In 2017, Sims published a book, Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen. Sims grew up in East London and met his wife, Clare, when he was 16 years old.
