Law of Correspondence

Brian Tracy has written another book about success. This one is the 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of business Success. He covers the familiar principles like the Law of Belief, the Law of Attraction and the Law of Expectation.

The one that struck me today was what he calls the "Law of Correspondence". He says that your outer world is a mirror of your inner world. So if you want to change your outer world - indeed your business as a whole - go to work on yourself first, do the inner work.

It's about getting clear on your purpose, mission and goals and how you think about these things. Do you think positively about success or money? Or is all your self talk about the obstacles, fears and doubts that will sabotage your future? What you think about, you bring about.

What I liked was the way Brian Tracy connected the two - the image in the mirror which reflects your inner world for the outer world to see. If the two coincide, your integrity, commitment and enthusiasm will shine through sincerely. That's what a client, prospect, banker, vendor, investor, employee buys into - you.
