The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success

Author: Brian Tracy

For more than 30 years, Brian Tracy has traveled and worked in over 30 countries, studying business, economics, philosophy, psychology, metaphysics, and entrepreneurship with the goal of discovering why some businesses are more successful than others. This practical guide to achievement provides the answers. Tracy's 100 "laws" embrace every aspect of work life, from leadership and money to negotiating and time management: "Your ability to set clear and accurate priorities on your time determines the entire quality of your life." "The experience of resistance and frustration is often an indication that you are doing the wrong thing." "Before you start something new, you must discontinue something old." Each law, validated by experience and research, is accompanied by its application, with questions and exercises geared to creating proactive, positive results.
