Having big dreams is one thing, but actually turning them into reality? Well, that’s a whole other skill in itself. Today, our guest Steve Sims talks about how to cultivate the habits and mindset to make the impossible happen.

Steve Sims

Steve Sims is the visionary founder of Bluefish, the world’s first luxury concierge that delivers the highest level of personalized travel, transportation, and cutting-edge entertainment services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other discerning individuals interested in living life to its fullest.

Steve has been called “The Modern Day Wizard of Oz” and has worked for royalty, presidents, A-list celebrities, the rich and famous, and the richer and unknown. Bluefish has been featured in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Entrepreneur, Variety, Worth, and many other publications.

Steve is also the author of Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen. He’s been a keynote speaker at venues including Harvard and the Pentagon and has spoken at many top entrepreneurial groups, including Mastermind Talks, Genius Networking Events, and Entrepreneurial Society of SF.

In this episode, Steve and I talk about how understanding a person’s “why” will always be more motivating than money, how to break through the clutter and get noticed by people who matter, why it’s important to always stay true to yourself, and much more.

In a world of insta-perfect lives, people are looking for people who are transparent, that they can see what you stand for and who you are–without complications, covers, and shields.”

Episode Highlights

  • Life is about telling better stories
  • How finding a win-win will always be more powerful than money
  • Ask why three times
  • Why relationship building—and the ability to relate to others—is the “gold of the future”
  • The chug test, and how it can help you know who you really are
  • How to command people’s attention, be more memorable and make communication more personal
  • It takes zero effort for you to be you
  • What everyone’s trying to do, do the opposite

Stop trying to be who you think impresses everyone else. Be you. You’ll find easier relationships, you’ll find stronger relationships, and you’ll find people that can relate to you.”

    Hi, Kyle, that was very interesting about getting things done. I would imagine it would work with talking and meeting with women that you have an interest in?” since you are talking about getting things done with people.

    The reason I ask this question is there is a Bank I go to a lot that has very attractive women I like talking to and I read a lot about dating advice and relationships and what Dating Coaches talk about and I figure in order to see if the advice that is given is good advice is to try it and talk to women.

    One Dating Coach did a video that was really good. It was a secret trick he was teaching and showing you for free how to impress a woman and it was like Steve Sims was saying just to be the best version of you. and the guy in the video said to surround yourself in your own energy because it’s about your entertainment, not theirs.

    I’m just being me when I’m there talking. I do have to remember why I’m there besides getting my finances handled and trying to ask the woman out.

    I would love to meet this woman who works there to see if things can go further and start out by having a drink somewhere together and get to know her better.

    I feel my life flashing before my eyes going I’m not getting any younger and time goes by so fast that before you know it many years have gone by.

    It would be nice to have a person in my life or a new friend would be nice but the only way I will know I guess is to ask her when she is free is to meet with me. What would you recommend I say if I have a chance to talk to her again.

    What would you do because she has gotten to know me and I can see that she is comfortable being near me talking to me?” she is a very attractive woman with a great personality and her energy is really great.”

    I am stepping out of my comfort zone and going for it. :-)” This is the link to the video. I think it’s a great video to learn from. I look forward to your message sincerely Dana!
