Why are some people more successful in business? Why do some businesses flourish where others fail? Renowned business speaker and author, Brian Tracy, tackles these puzzling questions through a set of principles or “universal laws” one needs to follow to become successful in the world of business. In The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success, Tracy draws on his thirty years of experience and knowledge to present a set of principles or "universal laws" that lie behind the success of business people everywhere, in every kind of enterprise, large and small. These are natural laws, he says, and they work everywhere and for everyone, virtually without exception. Every year, thousands of companies underperform or even fail and millions of individuals underachieve, frustrated by thwarted ambition and dreams—all because they either attempted to violate or did not know these universal laws. But ignorance of the law is no excuse! Tracy breaks the 100 laws down into nine major categories: Life, Success, Business, Leadership, Money, Economics, Selling, Negotiating, and Time Management. Drawing on a lifetime of observation, investigation, and experience, Tracy not only identifies and defines each law, he also reveals its source and foundation, whether in science, nature, philosophy, experience, or common sense. He illustrates how it functions in the world using real-life anecdotes and examples shows how to apply it to your life and work through specific questions and practical steps and exercises that everyone can use—sometimes in just minutes—to begin the journey toward greater business success.

Human potential expert Brian Tracy has focused the light of Universal Laws through the lens of business and created a most fascinating, richly written guide that can enhance both your personal and professional life. He explains each of the 100 laws in philosophical, behavioral and practical detail. Then he applies them to various aspects of business, career enhancement, creativity and financial reward. The book is destined to become a business classic. There is nothing trite, shallow, or gimmicky about this book, and getAbstract recommends it highly to all professionals.

Brian Tracy presents his latest list of success principles in short, clear chapters and follows each one with a few action steps. While admitting that Tracy overstates and oversimplifies (Who can argue that honesty, hard work and good health might be valuable?) getAbstract heartily recommends this book to any professional who thinks that his or her career development could use some focus and energy.
