The 3 Real Skills You Need to Succeed

📅 19 Apr 2025

🔥 This Newsletter will trigger you, if you are high-performers.

I“Lots of people want to be successful.
Almost none of them want to do the work.”

Amen.

Last week, one of my LinkedIn posts went viral.
Here’s what I got in my inbox:

• “Can you scrape leads for me?”

• “Can you audit my CRM for free?”

• “Can you build a proposal for my client, and if we win, we’ll split the profits?” 😅

Everyone wants results.
Nobody wants to sweat.
Nobody wants to do the boring stuff.

That’s why I’m building a community.

At first, I thought: “Why not make it free? I want attention anyway.”

Then I remembered my hourly fee.
And the value I can give.
And how many people ghost you if they don’t pay.

So here’s the deal:
If you already told me you want in, you're on the list.
But from now on, it won’t be free.
Because success shouldn’t be free either.

Let’s get back to the question:
What do you really need to succeed?

It’s not just a CRM.
(Although it helps.)

I figured it out two years ago.
My daughter Emma was just born.
Salesforce was talking layoffs.
No one knew who was safe.

So I did what I always do in danger.

Same thing I do when I’m losing a football match.

I run harder.
I fight back.
I go all in.

That’s how I was raised.
Once, during a fair, someone stole €400 from our market stand.
My mom cried.
I said: “Great. Now let’s make it back twice as fast.”

I don’t stop.
You’d have to shoot me.
And buying a house only made me hungrier.

So—here’s the formula:

1. Study

2. Work

3. Take action

1. Study

And I don’t mean “ask AI to plan your holiday.”

I mean:
Solve problems by yourself.
Google like a maniac.
Experiment. Break things.
Find better ways to work, earn, scale.

Nobody cares about how many certificates you have.
They care if you can help them right now.

Last week I built:

• An n8n autoblogging script

• A Google script for unlimited content strategy

• A full SOP for dentists to scale lead gen + onboarding

• An email cleaner + client profiler with Manus

• A CRM workshop + strategy deck

This is what the market asks for.
And I’m about to build a team to delegate all of it.

2. Work

I’m hired for the strategy.
But I always push for an operator in-house.

Why?

Because without someone executing, nothing moves.

In the average company, the moment you hit a blocker (“Legal didn’t approve”, “Salesforce didn’t send the doc”), projects freeze.

Nobody wants to push.
Nobody wants to take ownership.

So when I hire or collaborate, I don’t care about your CV.
I care about how badly you want things to move forward.

That’s why coaching and mentorship don’t always work.
Because they’re abstract.
What matters is: are you shipping?

If you’re paying for a CRM tool, a coach, or a consultant…
Use what you paid for.

And this is why the community will be paid.
People don’t act unless it hurts their wallet.

3. Take Action

Justin Welsh says it. Hormozi says it.
Everybody says it.
Nobody does it.

Taking action means doing the dirty work.
Every tiny process.
Every block in your system.
Every part of the sale, delivery, content engine.

It also means having the courage to pivot, constantly.
Rework, improve, and move forward.

Because like it or not:

Want to improve all of the above?

• Build your brand
  Pick your playground: LinkedIn, YouTube, IG…
  But build. Daily.
  And don’t post just to post. Speak to your market. Sell.

• Sell something
  If you're not monetizing, you're not committing.
  And no commitment = no growth.

• Always check the ROTS (Return On Time Spent)
  If it takes too long and gives too little, drop it.
  Fast.

Hobbies are fine.
But don’t confuse them with business.

My Easter Gift to You:

1. A Google script for content creation / curation

1. My tips for email deliverability, after using n8n — so your cold emails don’t go straight to spam

👉 These (with furter details) will be inside the community soon.

You don’t need 10 courses, another certificate, or someone’s permission.
You need to study, work, and take action.
Every damn day.

Talk soon,
Giorgio

🏆 Final Takeaway

Success doesn’t come from shortcuts or hype.
And being a performer, it’s absolutely normal to suffer in a company’s environment.

It comes from systems, accountability, and the right people by your side.

Hope to be one of them.
