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.

"Easily worth the time to read. Being self-employed for 10 years, the author struck a chord with me time and again. I knew of the struggle between the inner technician, manager and entrepreneur but never had the framework to understand it. If you're a person who has marketable, technical talent and is self-employed or thinking of being self-employed, I'd say invest in this book and save yourself some inner turmoil.
Somebody gave this book 4 stars because of how long-winded the author can be... which is definitely something he does. It feels like 3 pages could be condensed to 2 paragraphs sometimes. That said, I felt that half the time it was just annoying and half the time it really helped the point of the story he was telling. It's long-winded, but that often plays into the lesson that he's retelling. So I'd give it a 4.5 stars if I'm really being critical. That said, it's about the insights and lessons you draw from it. Worth the read."

The EMyth Revisited Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It Audible Audio Edition Michael E Gerber HarperAudio Books Reviews
- This book literally changed my life. I own a small service business with around 15 employees. I had been struggling for years doing all managerial work myself so that it was done up to my standards. We did great work but at the expense of my sanity!
A mentor told me to read this book. The E-Myth was the driving factor that took my small business which had been controlling my life and transformed it into a business I could run remotely. Before I read this book I was working on site 9 hours a day 6 days a week. Less than a year after reading this I was able to take a six-month vacation around the world while my business ran itself. If you own a small business you need to read this book as soon as possible. - I love this book. I read it first two years ago, when I'd barely started my business. I re-read it again, and the richness of it all is amazing. I've come so far (we've expanded tho London, Los Angeles and Atlanta), and so much of that is owed to this book.
Is it perfect? No - it's seriously cringy when the author talks about how beautiful and youthful his protege is. Ugh. But other than that, I love it and recommended it to all small business owners. Read it. - More play on the original book. This version contains some great general guide-lines for systemizing your business, however, the author is more interested in guiding you to his website to purchase a variety of courses and his "dream room" seminar series. The book is heavy on concept but short on detail. If you've read the original E-Myth, you would probably be safe to pass on this book. It's pretty much the same information re-framed.
- This is the most important book I've read in the last four years. And it's amazing that it was written over twenty years ago. If you're a small business owner or thinking of starting a business of your own, you MUST read this book. Don't listen to the clowns on Facebook who will have you earning a million dollars your first year in the business. That's B.S. and you'll waste thousands of dollars like I did. READ THIS BOOK FIRST! It's changing my life!

Worth the read. - I owned my own successful retail business for 12 years and this was the Resource Book that helped the most. While I was managing for someone else, they gifted me a copy of the original E-myth. This newer Revisited version is even better. Here's the core message - it's easy to spend time working IN your business, but If you want it to grow, you need to block out critical time to work ON your business. IN is ordering and waiting on customers - the day to day stuff. ON is closing your door and planning how you're going to grow to the next level - learning how to be the best at what you do - understanding your competition and carving out your Unique Selling Proposition that will help you win. I keep a couple of copies around to share with new business friends. What a gift!!
- If you are thinking of starting your own business, welcome to one aspect of the American Dream. Remember however that for a business to succeed, it will need more than you and an idea. It will need a systematic approach to be a successful business and The E-Myth Revisted should be on your list of required reading before you start your business. Michael Gerber's book reviews all aspects of preparing your business to succeed beyond just your initial idea by using what he calls the "Franchise Prototype". The book is a quick read told through a discussion between Michael and a would be bakery shop entrepreneur, Sarah. This real life example of how to build a business will make you think of the best way to structure your business to allow you to live the life of your dreams.
- This is a good starting point if you are considering taking the leap to own your own business. Doesn’t have all the answers but gets the juices flowing in that brain of yours...never stop digging for the answers
