Marco Robinson, 42, arrived in Malaysia in year 1997. He never completed his studies in University, but instead, he learnt from the "University of Life" and has emerged rather triumphantly as an entrepreneur.

After leaving a full-time employment in Malaysia, Robinson started his company, Max Generation, that is currently located at Sri Hartamas. The company supplies vacation incentives where RM2,000 holidays (S$832) are available from RM50.

The success of this business enabled him to conduct seminars, thanks to a large database. Robinson claims to own an impressive database of 1 million people, mostly from Singapore and Malaysia.

He began offering seminars on personal development which focuses on individuals' mindset and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).

The properties he owns are valued at approximately RM10 million and he has purchased six properties this year. Although Robinson has invested in properties via the No-Money-Down strategy quite a while back, it is not until October last year that he started teaching it. Robinson is also the author of 'Know When To Close The Deal and Suddenly Grow Rich' and advocates the BRAD (Believe, Rapport, Authority, Desire) concept.

StarProperty.my speaks to the resourceful and entrepreneurial property investor-cum-mentor at his office, which is located opposite the block where all seminars take place.
