Yo guys! I'm so stoked to share this interview with you today. Long story short – Steve Sims, owner and founder of The Bluefish, is the guy that extremely wealthy people call when they want to do crazy stuff like go into space or shut down entire museums for their dinner parties.
Here's why he's on M$M today – Steve essentially started from nothing, and now rubs elbows with the likes of Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Andrea Bocelli, Ariana Huffington, Madeline Albright, and the list goes on and on and on. His story is incredibly inspiring, and he's able to give us an inside peek at what makes the world's most successful and wealthy people tick.
In fact, those are only the people we're allowed to know about because his black book of clients is so exclusive that he can't even share most of the names (although I did try to ask him haha).
Don't believe me? Check out Steve's Forbes feature here.
Steve was gracious enough to give me time to chat from his Beverly Hills home, and truth be told, I spoke to him after the interview about becoming a mentor for me moving forward because I was that impressed with his story and wisdom that he shared. You just don't get an opportunity to speak with someone like him very often in life, and I certainly wanted to make the most of it. The worst he could do was say no – but fortunately, he didn't. 🙂
Here are a few important things we discussed:
1. How in the world do you go from dropping out of school at 15 to sitting down with billionaires?
2. The “chug test”…
3. The process he uses to decide if he wants to work with a client (I thought this was fascinating).
4. What makes wealthy people tick?
5. The one thing that has made Steve so successful.

Of course you do because he's freaking awesome.
I'd highly suggest that you check out Steve's book, Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen.

Enjoy the interview! ~M$M
