Summary

In this audio 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.

Some golden nuggets wrapped in waffle and drivel!!

This book could have been summarized in about 20 pages (30 mins of audio), but the god-awful storytelling and faux conversations with 'Sarah' are tedious in the extreme.

Great idea...but...

Any additional comments?

Ok, so I love the ideas that are put across in this book. The idea of looking at your small business from the top down instead of from the bottom up is something I had been struggling with in my own business. The idea of building your business as you would do a franchise is another great idea. It allows for the business to be scalable and repeatable and for non-skilled operators to work for you and help you in bringing you vision to fruition. The author knows what he is talking about as he has built his own franchise business.So here's the BUT... as a previous reviewer mentioned, there are several mentions of the authors own business where they align you with a coach who will help you develop your business. My issue with this is that the coaches have paid to do a coaching course and become part of the e-myth brand, essentially purchasing an out of the box franchise business. They haven't done the work of an entrepreneur, building something from the very bottom. They have just bought into the authors vision and have bought themselves a job, the antithesis of what this book is telling you to do. How can an e-myth coach have the 'expertise' to pass on something they haven't done themselves unless they already done the work, are financially independent and do it as a calling to give back to others? I'm not saying that the coaching they provide definitely wouldn't work, I'm simply saying that it is pretty expensive to be coached and I feel like finding some good local business mentors and investing into more business books and education would be more worthwhile than having a middle man pass on second hand knowledge.That said, this book has made me look at my business in a different way and has made me go to work ON my business and not IN it.

Simply brilliant!

I loved this, I could relate to Sarah in the book in so many ways even though my business had nothing to do with Sarah's. The book really makes you think and assess what you're doing wrong in your business. A must read for any business owner.

Great Book

Really enjoyed this book although I'll need a paper copy as there was far too much useful info to document and unfortunately, an audio book isn't the best medium for note taking. That being said, its a great book that's full of insightful gems. Plenty "A-ha" moments in this. Thank you
