Much has changed since the first edition of this book appeared in 1994. The Internet, which then consisted primarily of e-mail, was still the province of techies, college professors, and adventurous businesspeople. Although I had an e-mail account from a teaching position I had recently quit, I was not yet online in any serious or concerted fashion. At the last minute, Deb Brody, my editor at Plume/Penguin, asked me to include something about online publicity and gave me the name of one of her other authors to interview. That discussion piqued my curiosity about promotional opportunities online, and very soon after I handed in the final manuscript of the first edition 6 Steps to Free Publicity, I dove into using the Internet for self-promotion. ---- Introduction

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.
