EP99: Go For Stupid Goals w/ Steve Sims
Episode description
If you have been listening to this podcast for awhile, you will recognize this phenomenal guest. He is the founder of the world’s first luxury concierge company and has expanded his reach as a author, speaker and coach. Steve Sims is back on the Define Success podcast to talk about his new book: Go for Stupid
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 own career to help you let go of your fear and get out of your own way.
Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.
Steve Sims returns to the show to discuss:
- What inspired him to write a new book
- Why should goals be ‘stupid’
- Working with successful people and what is the common denominator
- Dealing with rejection
- Reminding yourself of your dreams
- How Steve defines success
- What wakes Steve up in the AM
- Piece of advice for others
