Publisher's summary

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, and 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.

A Guide For Adding Value To My Clients

I’ve been wanting to get this book for some time now after following Steve Sims 2 years ago. This is no fluff, old fashioned straight forward impact focused content. My mind is opened.

I bought this seconds after I finished his previous book. SO GLAD I DID.

A perfect follow up to blue fishing. With the wave of technology changing the way we communicate with each other, learning how to connect on a human level is more critical than ever. Steve knocks it out of the park with a deeper dive into solving this problem. Highly recommend!

great read, very insightful and inspirational

This is a great book with a bunch of examples and stories that illustrate the point to always ask "stupid" questions and don't be afraid to look stupid. I learned it when I was in the university surrounded by people much smarter in mathematics than me, asking stupid questions helped me to graduate with honer diploma .
Highly recommend this book.

This book and Steve’s others are life changing

I have been faced with significant “walls” in my business growth that have quickly been knocked down by the principles offered.

While these concepts are not revolutionary at face value, Steve delivers them in a way I have found are easy to digest, understand, and put into action to stand out from the crowd and ultimately achieve results regardless of what industry you are in.

Stupid is my love language

I have enjoyed both books Steve Sims wrote. Go for Stupid is perfect especially right now with his explanation of our gotcha culture. Definitely worth a read/listen.

A MUST READ... Steve NEVER disappoints

Love Steve & his stories. If you are looking for a honest, down to earth & in your face approach to business & relationships, this is a must read/must listen to book. Steve never disappoints. His approach to business & life is all about relationship, no fluff, no BS; just good "old fashion" relationships. And, for those who struggle to understand or think extravagance is necessary, he breaks it down & gives you a road map. Can't wait for his next book!
