Special Guest Steve Sims https://simsdistillery.com/   In this episode, host Karen Roberts chats with Steve Sims about the power of focus and mindset in achieving success. Steve underscores that your perspective shapes your reality. By concentrating on positive stories and opportunities, rather than negative news, you start noticing more chances for growth and innovation. This mindset shift, comparable to suddenly noticing yellow cars everywhere once you start looking for them, enables entrepreneurs and podcasters to thrive even amidst chaos, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.   Steve highlights how many people saw COVID-19 as an opportunity to innovate, pivot their businesses, deepen family connections, and work on personal projects. Those who adapted and focused on possibilities found ways to prosper. For entrepreneurs, developing this mindset is crucial. Fear of rejection or failure is natural, but how you respond to it determines your success. Rather than letting fear paralyze you, using it as motivation to learn, grow, and push forward transforms these fears into strengths.   Building resilience is key. Practicing small interactions and gradually building confidence helps you handle rejection better. Each conversation, pitch, or attempt is an opportunity to learn and improve. The more you put yourself out there, the more you realize that a "no" is just a step towards the next "yes." Embracing a growth mindset, where challenges are seen as opportunities to learn, makes you more resilient and better positioned to seize new opportunities.   Steve also discusses the importance of curiosity and dissatisfaction with the status quo as driving forces for change. Physically stepping out of your usual environment can help you assess your happiness and areas of aggravation, which can be catalysts for change. Surrounding yourself with supportive and challenging people is vital. If your current circle doesn't understand or support your ambitions, it might be time to find a new group.   Steve shares an anecdote about a marketing strategy at Tabasco, where making the bottle's hole bigger significantly increased sales. This story illustrates the value of playful innovation over rigid effort. He emphasizes maintaining a playful, childlike approach to challenges, suggesting that "playing" with problems rather than fighting them leads to innovative solutions and sustained energy. Examples from notable figures like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Elon Musk demonstrate how gamifying challenges can lead to breakthroughs.   Effective communication is another crucial aspect discussed. Despite living in a highly connected world, true communication is deteriorating. Steve likens it to a muscle that needs regular exercise. Engaging in small conversations regularly can make you more comfortable with larger, more critical conversations. He shares a story about a Silicon Valley tycoon who practices handling rejection by asking for discounts on mundane things, thus becoming desensitized to hearing "no," which helps in high-stakes business situations.   The episode also touches on how COVID-19 was a time of great productivity and financial success for Steve because he focused on opportunities rather than obstacles. The pandemic revealed the illusory nature of job security, prompting many to reevaluate their careers. Steve offers tips for those feeling stuck: assess your dissatisfaction with your current situation from a new perspective; surround yourself with people who challenge and support your aspirations; recognize the value of time and act promptly on opportunities; and maintain a childlike curiosity and willingness to explore.   Throughout the conversation, Steve emphasizes the importance of taking immediate action towards your goals. He closes by inviting listeners to his event in London, a one-day intensive session on branding, marketing, and positioning to help disrupt and stand out in their respective fields. He also promotes his books, "Bluefishing: The Art of Making Things Happen" and "Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals," encouraging listeners to maintain youthful curiosity and take bold actions in their endeavors.   The episode concludes with Karen expressing gratitude for the engaging conversation and promoting Steve's resources. This episode is a compelling blend of personal anecdotes, practical advice, and motivational insights designed to help listeners cultivate a success-oriented mindset and take decisive action towards their goals.
