Marco Robinson: The Most Dangerous Thing That Ever Happened to Me Was Believing Other People’s Limits

If you had met Marco Robinson as a child, you probably wouldn’t have predicted the life that followed.

You certainly wouldn’t have predicted that Marco Robinson would help transform a struggling business into a company valued at more than $6 billion.

You wouldn’t have predicted that Marco Robinson would become a 12-time #1 bestselling author, launch global businesses, appear on Channel 4 television, build international brands, receive multiple Two Comma Club Awards, create the START OVER Movement, or launch the bold vision of Naked Diablo Airlines.

And you definitely wouldn’t have predicted that people would one day call Marco Robinson “The Billion Dollar Man.”

The reason is simple.

Most people judge potential by current circumstances.

That is a mistake.

One of the most dangerous things that ever happened to me wasn’t homelessness.

It wasn’t failure.

It wasn’t rejection.

It was believing, even temporarily, the limitations other people placed on me.

The world is full of people willing to tell you what you can’t do.

They’ll tell you your idea is too ambitious.

Your dream is unrealistic.

Your goals are too big.

Your vision is impossible.

Most of them mean well.

But they are often projecting their own fears, not your future.

Looking back over my life, I can see that every major breakthrough happened when I stopped listening to people who had never attempted what I was trying to achieve.

When I helped transform Tanco Resorts during one of the most challenging economic periods in Asia, there were reasons why it shouldn’t have worked.

When I appeared on Channel 4’s Get A House For Free and gave away my Ferrari to help a homeless family secure a home, many people thought it was crazy.

When I launched new businesses, built brands, mentored entrepreneurs, and eventually created the vision behind Naked Diablo Airlines, there was never a shortage of critics.

But there was also never a shortage of possibility.

The lesson I learned is one I now teach entrepreneurs around the world:

Your circumstances are temporary.

Your vision is optional.

And your future is negotiable.

Most people spend their lives trying to be realistic.

I spent mine trying to discover what was possible.

That mindset changed everything.
