The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It

Author: Michael E. Gerber

Sonya’s Review:  Ok, so when I say that You Were Born Rich was my first book that I started with, I totally forgot about this one.  I was given The E-Myth by my first business coach back in 2004.  I read it, I instantly fell in love with it. 🙂 

I am a systems person, I love going from business to business helping them implement systems. 

I have read this book time and time again and it is so right in everything.  I have seen businesses go from start up to adolescent and then go backwards as they don’t know how to grow.  Implementing systems is the best way to overcome this. 🙂 

Have a read, then do a systems analysis of your business (or get me to do one for you 🙂 )

Definitely a MUST read type of book 🙂

Publisher’s Summary

In this edition of the totally revised underground best seller, The E-Myth, Michael Gerber dispels the myths surrounding starting your own business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business. He walks you through the steps in the life of a business, from entrepreneurial infancy, through adolescent growing pains, to the mature entrepreneurial perspective, the guiding light of all businesses that succeed, and shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business, whether or not it is a franchise. Finally, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. After you have listened to The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way.
