Or, if you ask him, he’d say he’s good at achieving the stupid, or the unexplained. That’s because, as Steve shares, once you label something as impossible, you’ve created a mental barrier for yourself. So if one thing is clear, Steve knows how to transcend the unthinkable, and impact the world. Steve has had many paths in life, all of which hae led him to where he is now. For the last 25 years, he's been in what is technically the concierge and spa business. In his own words: [2:27] “One of the famous stories everyone knows was I had a client who wanted to have a meal in Italy, and he wanted it to be unforgettable. And so I closed down the Academia, the Galleria in Florence, that houses Michel Angelo’s David. Set up a table of six at the feet of David. And halfway through the pasta I had Andrea Bocelli come in and serenade them. And so I’m basically the Make-A-Wish foundation for people with really, really, really big checkbooks.” Now, Steve acts as a mindset coach to help people get the clients that they deserve and want, rather than the clients they get. The Number One Mindset Tip When asked what his number one mindset tip is, Steve answered to not identify the problem. Which at first may seem completely counterintuitive. That is because in his experience, people spend the bulk of their energy telling you why they can’t do something. Either they don’t have the money, or the time, or the resources. The trick is to shift to how you can do something. The answer may be to set aside thirty minutes a day to reach your goal, or write grants to fund your project, or build more cash flow with a side hustle. Maybe, the solutions are far more creative than that, as Steve Sims shares with us in the interview. There’s an infinite number of solutions for an infinite amount of ideas—it just takes work and a vision. As Steve says: [5:02] “Have you ever noticed that when you get into a room full of entrepreneurs, you’re at home?” That’s because the entrepreneurial mindset is energizing—it’s about innovation, creativity, and finding solutions. It’s the exact opposite of the—"Here’s why I can’t”—mindset. “You Are the Room You’re In” You’ve likely heard the statement before—you’re a combination of the five people you spend the most time with. One of Steve Sims' strategies, regardless of his position, has been to surround himself with wealthy people. This could be people of intellectual wealth or monetary wealth. This strategy has allowed him to grow, and to be the person with all the solutions, instantly making him one of the most valuable assets in a room of wealthy people. How to Grow [10:38] “Sometimes the greatest growth comes from the most devastating problems and mistakes and issues." Later in our conversation, Steve shares a personal story of how he was flown to China for work, then fired. What seemed like a dark situation turned out to be a phenomenal opportu...
