Today we’d like to introduce you to Thomas Gio.
Hi Thomas, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born in Paris, France. I always dreamed of traveling and discovering new things. At the age of 12, I told my parents, later I’m gonna be an entrepreneur and live in the USA.
This was my deepest dream. 12 years later, this dream came true when I started my first online business doing eCommerce.
Little by little, I start recording my journey and sharing it on my youtube channel!
At the time of writing, I have 92 000 subscribers (french speakers).
I start two others activities such as coaching and online teaching and a marketing agency!
In 2020 this journey led me to move out of Paris and start a new life in Orlando!
My dream was finally achieved!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Nope, it clearly not has been a smooth road! I feel when you want to achieve something great, regardless of your goal, it won’t be easy.
Achieving your goals and your dreams will ask you to get out of your comfort zone and keep pushing even if it’s hard, even if it’s a lot of sacrifices.
The first struggle I had was to keep working the weekend when at 25 all my friends went to bars and clubs… But I needed to match my ambitions and my actions!
Running businesses is also not easy as ABC because you need to deal with clients (I put the main focus to have happy customers) and the team.
My mission is to help my team have the easiest job possible.
Sometimes it’s easy and certain days it can be very, very tricky to handle situations with calm and clarity.
The biggest struggle was the visa to come in the USA.
I needed to get enough money to invest in the country and have the right papers to be sure I could come live here. This was a stressful and bumpy road but If I had to do it again, I will without any hesitation!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Gio X is my Holding, regrouping two other company: Gio Media (my marketing Agency in the US) and Ruby Consulting (my marketing agency in France). It generates more than 1 millions $ in gross revenue in less than two years with a team of 12 people.
We are mainly providing online marketing strategy but lately with Ruby consulting, we started focusing on Crypto/Nft Project and marketing.
Since last October, we also decided to start the creation of our play-to-earn game (a video game where you can earn real money while playing). I am so excited for this project because younger I used to be a hardcore gamer!
My main motivation in life is to create and do!
In that objective, I brand my business with this sentence: ” Passe à l’action” which means in English: Take action!
It’s my signature at the end of all my videos.
I choose this because you can be the smartest person in the world, if you don’t do anything, you will never achieve something.
I’m not the smartest, not the richest but I know I take a lot of actions when I want to achieve something!
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
The 4 hours work week of Tim Ferris literally changed my life! As well as his podcast!
One of my biggest mentors is Gary Vaynerchuck who showed me how actions and positivity could make a significant impact on our life!
My other app that helps me is Kindle, I read a tons of books to help me understand more and to do more on every aspects I wanted!
