I enjoy how Marshall brings together the immutable theories from Dr. Deming and Buckminster Fuller. Precession shows up in my life continually, and I find that being awake to it has brought greater depth to my experience of relationships and life itself. I particularly appreciate the concept of reflecting on what may seem to be a "coincidence" or an "chance event" as a chance to see a greater pattern emerge (periodicity).
I have been waiting two weeks to watch and listen this master. Marshall is the smartest and most interested teacher I have ever met. He is a true genius and makes the most difficult subject matters easy to understand. Being a part of his classes is life changing. This isn't it. Is it?
Marshall has always excelled at making people right by first making them wrong. In this talk, he deconstructs the notion that a goal will take you to where you think you're going. The examples show this isn't always true but what is true is the process will teach invaluable and unexpected lessons; and, to 'get' those lessons, the more 'awake', i.e. conscious, the more you will grow and the more you will achieve. Growth is the real achievement.
What would we do if we knew we couldn't fail? That seems to be the "precession" perspective. If "this isn't it is it", life is a daring adventure with no chance of failure or attachment as long as you stick with your integrity and keep in motion. I couldn't agree more. Love it Marshall!!!
Phenomenal!! I have watched this ted talk by Marshall Thurber, 14 times and I learn something different every time (I have also shared it with 9 people and they are also amazed) PRECESSION is a fundumental truth! Marshall is a gifted highly intellectual super being, and I personally would never followed intellect however LOVE, Marshall has both LOVE and INTELLECT! I found my idol and master! #teamMarshallThurber
This is great. Marshall Thurber was an inspiration to many Vermonters, among others, in the 1980-90s, having introduced us to Bucky Fuller through the Burklyn Business School, Future of Business symposiums, Money and You workshops, The Accounting Game, and he still leads something called the Positive Deviants Network. Here he amplifies one of Bucky's basic lessons: Take action. Via precession the Universe works in ways we've never imagined. This is really worth watching. The world needs more deviants who see things that need to be done and take action to make them happen. It may turn out very differently from what you intended, but Universe will take care of it. Thanks Marshall for this fine presentation.
Had the opportunity to meet and learn directly from Marshall Thurber has shaped my business and personal life... and many lives whom I have the opportunity to serve as a fellow traveler for their business and life journeys.
my goal was to interview a bumble bee while traveling at 67,000 mph towards a chair... out of the corner of my eye I caught Marshall's talk, excellent thank you Marshall.
Great master principles delivered by a master catalyst, coach and friend. Marshall is one of those rare synergizers who can simultaneously inspire and dramatically upgrade your thinking, actions and results, across the spectrum of your life and business. He's also one of those hidden key mentors behind such high impact teachers as Anthony Robbins, Rich Dad/Poor Dad's Robert Kiyosaki and Chicken Soup for the Soul creators Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. The ripple effect of collaborating and learning from and with with him over the years I consider to be one of my most valuable and enduring learning experiences. Bravo Marshall... Encore!
Brilliant, Marshall! Thanks for this summary of one of the most important distinctions you taught at "Money & You" - one that I've never forgotten over the past 35 years! Since Bucky's term "Precession".is not easy to understand or remember, when you identify it as "This isn't it... IS it", everyone can get it with your examples! I know the power and truth in this based on my own life experiences - much of which I learned through the most expensive form of education - trial and error! I see now how often just recognizing it saved me from major upset or blaming others when things didn't turn out as expected! As people watch this now, I hope they will ask, "What if I could "get" this principle and catch it "out of the corner of my eye" when heading toward a goal? What if it was built into curriculums that teachers taught students how to recognize Precession and how to use it to identify True Purpose? What would shift in businesses or families when people could identify a new direction and discuss it together first? Wouldn't TRUST increase? Couldn't we re-align on what we were doing at the same time instead of being hit with unexpected changes? And wouldn't this create a greater sense of security, more certainty, more success - and ultimately, greater happiness for all concerned?" I already know the answer to that, but I never before saw it as clearly as I do now! .
Angel, my experience was quite different. I smiled and laughed at this highly animated fellow's presentation. It was fun! He points out several things that life has taught me, particularly staying in motion during waking hours, and paying attention not just to the obvious but to the things that are at the periphery of my perceptions. In small terms, this is often referred to as "thinking outside the box", but Marshall's suggesting we look at far bigger terms, and keep changing our "viewpoint" so our understandings keep including more. That may not work for you at this point in your life, but it can when you are ready!
Well done Marshall! You've encapsulated the idea of precession in a very clear manner. It all comes down to the process being the product and the journey, the destination in the larger sense. It's good to be reminded that we are integral to that larger picture. I love Bucky's idea of enumerating all the precessional effects at the end of the day! Maybe that will help me tune-up some of those theories by remembering that the universe is supporting my movement. Thank you!
Precession = Natural progress of the universe = Based on universal laws. Learn to move with the tide i.e. precession => thats where your final outcome lies. Make that outcome your business goal and success is only natural. General (macro scenarios: internet age, automotive age etc) and specific (micro scenarios) precessions exist in a way. Being a first mover.
This gave me a headache. Good grief, it's kind of - sorry in advance- totally incoherent. I really hope I'm just not getting it, but HOLY COW IT'S JUST NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Sorry, again, if it's just me, though I REALLY tried :/ :( :'(

Powerful stuff
One option is to change your goal/aim from your original goal to whatever the precession is, when you've worked out what it is.

Great video by the Master. Our master coach, #khampiseth , considered Mr. Marshall Thurber as his best teacher ever.
What a great perspective. Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.

This is great!
HI RICH DAD 🙏🏼
I guess I'd better get off my duff and get my ass in gear, no matter how slow, eh? :) Thanks Marshall!
Guessing he influenced Nassim Talen quite abit.. Shame Marshall didn't write any books
This gave me a headache. Good grief, it's kind of - sorry in advance- totally incoherent. I really hope I'm just not getting it, but HOLY COW IT'S JUST NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Sorry, again, if it's just me, though I REALLY tried :/ :( :'(
Pretty lame!
