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.
If you do something amazing, you will be ridiculed until you are revered. Stop overthinking and go for ridiculous, stupid goals. Once you “go for stupid,” you open the door to the life you always dreamed about.

Are you searching for graceful messages to soothe your weary soul? Are you craving gentle insights that whisk you beyond challenges and obstacles? Are you longing for someone pious to take you by the hand and lead you to enlightenment? If so…then please, do yourself an epic favor and stay the hell away from Steve Sims.
Principles — without Compromise
In a world loaded with self-described “motivational gurus” who are far, far more interested in your cash than they are in your consciousness, Steve refuses to compromise his principles, which include:
- Telling the truth the only way he knows how: directly, blatantly, fearlessly and with no holds barred.
- Delivering visionary insights that are deeply rooted in pragmatic reality and practical action: because it’s all about results.
- Sharing everything he knows about being successful on a professional and personal level, right down to the last grizzly, intimate, “oh wow, did he really just say that?” detail.
What You See IS What You Get
Many speakers who claim to be “onions” – i.e. wrapped in mystical and magical layers of enigmatic meaning – have their metaphors mixed up, because they’re typically nothing but smoke and mirrors; get too close, and it’s all style and no substance.
Steve ain’t no onion.
What you see IS what you get. And what you see and get is a man who you’d probably avoid making eye contact with in an alley — or anywhere else for that matter. After all, a shaved head, Harley Davidson garb and body piercings on a 5’ 11”, 240 lb. frame don’t scream “let’s be friends!”
But that’s the irony of it all, because despite his gruff exterior, Steve is remarkably open, engaging, generous, intuitive, insightful and competent – and he’s leveraged all of this to build a remarkably successful entrepreneurial career.
ARE YOU READY?
Full disclosure: not everyone is ready for Steve, and he’ll be the first to tell you that he’s not interested in being all things to all audiences. If you’re looking for feel-good rhetoric, generic clichés and platitudes, or typical self-help advice tied together in a diplomatic package and topped with a pretty bow – then “go ahead and move along.”
But…
If you want to have your professional and personal life transformed by one of the world’s most unique over-achievers — a person who cares so deeply about your success that he’s willing to lay everything on the line to help you: the good, the bad, and so very, very ugly — then you’re ready.
So grab a helmet, get on board, say a prayer, and hang on with all you’ve got — because you’re in for the ride of your life!
