Publisher's summary

The man who created Bluefish, the internationally famous company that makes once-in-a-lifetime events happen for the rich and famous, reveals to the rest of us his trade secrets for making things happen.

Steve Sims' day job is to make the impossible possible. With his help and expertise, his clients' fantasies and wildest dreams come true. Getting married by the Pope in the Vatican, being serenaded by Elton John, and connecting with powerful business moguls like Elon Musk are just a few of the many projects he has worked on. He rarely reveals how he accomplishes the feats that make his clients so happy. But now for the first time, Steve shares his practical tips, techniques, and strategies to help listeners break down any obstacle and turn their dreams into reality.

The core of his philosophy focuses on simple yet effective ways to sharpen the mind and gain practical skills that can help you learn a new perspective and accomplish anything. Whether it's climbing Mount Everest, launching a business, or applying for a dream job, you can make incredible things happen for yourself by applying his insightful advice, such as:

• ask why three times,
• never be the first call, and
• don't be easy to understand, be impossible to misunderstand.

With colorful and enlightening stories of people driven to achieve the impossible, this book will inspire you to transform your life and aim for the unthinkable.

Consistently great advice!

As I rapidly approach my 75th birthday and retired many years ago to spend time with my grandchildren, I'm not part of the natural target audience for Steve Sims' book. I seldom find any book that I agree with on every point, but Bluefishing is an exception. All of Steve's advice is excellent.

The Marriage of Storytelling & Practical

Whether you are looking to change your professional brand in the industry, or to develop an edge in the job market, or simply to change your personal brand among friends, this book is absolutely for you!
I knew I was in for a treat when I saw that the narrator was the author himself. I found myself giggling and laughing like a little boy during the reading and motivated to take massive action after every chapter! Raw authenticity, captivating story-telling, and full of practical guidelines that can be applied, now, today. For example, I started sending voice communication to clients and friends, and I immediately saw a change in both the quality and rate of responses!
I came across this book as recommended by a mutual friend of the author himself and mentor of mine, which tells you, he actually lives and applies what he talks about! It is one of those books that I look forward to reading many times, every few months, to see what nuggets of wisdom lay buried in it throughout the years!

A must read for anyone who cares to learn about themselves

Thank you Steve. You truly make a difference in this world. I highly recommend your book to anyone I know.

Brilliant

I’m only a 3rd if the way thru and so far every single word is pure gold. This is a must read/listen for ANYONE and EVERYONE on any stage they are at in their life. I can’t wait to finish it. It’s addicting.

Hard not to like this guy!

You've heard it before. More than that, you know most of it.. But you haven't heard Steve Sims put it together so comprehensively, authoritatively (we may believe), and enjoyably. It's not so much the message, it's his ability to thoughtfully, conscientiously, and realistiaclly remind you to get off your ass. A great pep talk.

Worth the listen!

I simply love the author's style and thinking about how to go after things in your life. Clear, direct and simple to execute. Is it easy? No, but he gives you what you need to make it happen in your life. Thank you Steve!

Awesome!!

Absolutely loved every minute of this. Listened to it and had to hit the rewind button many times to not miss anything!!
I highly recommend it.

"Making Things Happen" explained but not made easy

Amazing short book talking about the success of Steve Sims and Bluefishing. I liked to hear about their amazing results. And I liked the book which is very upbeat to listen to. Inevitably, however, I am consistently reminded that they serve the rich and famous, and have very little to do with the rest of us.

Powerful

This is a powerful book. It is a great way to discover your passion and the passion of others.

Amazing book!

In this book, you will not find the magic formula, but it will help you unlock yourself. We are people of excuses e reinforce if you want just to do it.
