I became interested in Bucky and Marshall through James Rosales. The books 'Operaing Manual for Spaceship Earth' and 'Critical Path' changed the way I thought about the world and everything in it. To know that Marshall studied under Bucky was enough to generate my interest. James Rosales said "he applies Bucky to business" and I was more or less sold.

Wikipedia provided me into initial insight into Marshall's life and spending time with James Rosales and collecting drips of information on him served to further my desire to learn from him. Some facts I remember clearly: retiring at 24 with $30 million ($100 million today), mentor to Robert Kiyosaki, founder of Money and You, duxed law degree, started own law school, consulted on extraordinary businesses (Ben and Jerry's, Paul Mitchell etc etc) and many more. In the interests of this page, it could be worthwhile listing these facts into a document that we can all share - I know James Rosales has some great ones.

My initial concerns were: I wouldn't understand the theories, Marshall's achievements may have been a coincidence as opposed to the product of predictable systems, would I be able to transfer the theories into practice?

My hook points: the achievements of Marshall and his team sold me on the predictable success of his systems/theories, everything to learn/gain and nothing to lose, the first 10 minutes of the initial webinar - I couldn't believe the clarity, simplicity, effectiveness. Listening to the recordings in the dropbox compounded my belief and enthusiasm to learn from him. Ultimately, working with the right theories to solve problems is too good an opportunity to miss!
