Real Talk with GrowGetters Episode #09 with Steve D Sims. Many entrepreneurs strive for perfection before embarking on new ventures, believing that flawless execution is essential for success. However, this relentless pursuit can lead to paralysis, hindering progress and causing them to miss valuable opportunities for growth and learning along the way. In this exclusive "Ask Me Anything" from my community, GrowGetters Only, Steve D. Sims, the “Real Life Wizard of Oz” and founder of the internationally renowned luxury concierge service Blue Fish, shares powerful insights into how he helps entrepreneurs and salespeople succeed.  He emphasizes the importance of attracting clients who truly align with your values while repelling those who don't, a strategy that saves time and energy. Steve dives into the debate of product quality versus packaging, emphasizing that perfection can lead to paralysis. Instead, he advocates for taking action, learning from your failures, and improving along the way. He shares valuable insights on balancing big goals with self-compassion, reminding us that success comes from getting comfortable with discomfort and constantly pushing boundaries. Finally, we explore the common themes that define success and the impact of mindset on prospective clients' purchasing decisions. With a couple of best-selling books, including Bluefishing, The Art of Making Things Happen, and Go For Stupid, Steve’s unique perspective invites us to rethink our approach to business and personal growth.   During this episode, you will learn about:  [00:15] LST #56 with Steve D Sims: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlE4xViMpBI [00:37] Join the GrowGetters community: https://growgettersonly.com/ [01:48] Know more about Steve Sims [07:53] Access Steve's book for free: LINK MISSING…..
