Amazon.com Review

Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited should be required listening for anyone thinking about starting a business or for those who have already taken that fateful step. The title refers to the author's belief that entrepreneurs--typically brimming with good but distracting ideas--make poor businesspeople. He establishes an incredibly organized and regimented plan, so that daily details are scripted, freeing the entrepreneur's mind to build the long-term success or failure of the business. You don't need an M.B.A. to understand or follow its directives; Gerber takes time to explain buzzwords and complex theories. Read in a clear and well-paced manner, listening to The-E Myth is like receiving advice from an old friend. --Sharon Griggins --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

From Library Journal

Indicating that 40 percent of small businesses fail within their first year, Gerber, a small business expert, talks about how to be successful. In this revision of his 1986 book, he describes the "E-Myth," which basically states that a person with technical but few management skills can do well in business. Gerber describes developing a precise business system that produces consistent results because it has been tested and refined. He says that businesses thrive because of innovation, quantification, and orchestration. Visualize what is true success to you as a person, Gerber advises, and work from the ideal to the specific. While the author is a consumate salesman who reads his material in soothing tones, he offers too many abstract ideas and too few concrete plans. There is little useful content here. Not recommended.

Michael E. Gerber is a true legend of entrepreneurship. Inc. Magazine called him "the World's #1 Small Business Guru." He started over 40-plus years ago addressing a significant need in the small business market: businesses owned primarily by people with technical skills but few business skills, and no place to go to get meaningful help.

Over the years, Michael E. Gerber's companies have helped hundreds of thousands of small business owner-clients to successfully transform their businesses into world-class operations.

Mr. Gerber's E-Myth books include: The Most Successful Small Business in the World, Awakening the Entrepreneur Within, The E-Myth Enterprise, The E-Myth Mastery, The E-Myth Manager, along with co-authored E-Myth Vertical books: The E-Myth Attorney, The E-Myth Accountant, The E-Myth Optometrist, The E-Myth Chiropractor, The E-Myth Financial Advisor, The E-Myth Landscape Contractor, The E-Myth Architect, The E-Myth Real Estate Brokerage, The E-Myth Insurance Store, The E-Myth Dentist, The E-Myth Nutritionist, The E-Myth Bookkeeper, The E-Myth Veterinarian, and the first of Gerber's newest C-Level series: The E-Myth Chief Financial Officer. Soon to be released, The E-Myth Real Estate Agent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for entrepreneurs and a must-read book…
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on July 11, 2019
This book can be divided in 2 sections: One being the entrepreneur myths which I loved about the book that how well the concerns were addressed.

The second section was completely turning the self-employed business to franchise model which I can call it as so…so for me as I was expecting more illustration apart from restaurant franchise.

Giving it 4 stars just because the name of the book is quite appealing but the recipe in the book is not that spicy.

It is a must buy if you are or want to be in franchise business model.

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on June 3, 2023
Das Buch "The E-Myth Revisited" von Michael E. Gerber ist ein Leitfaden für alle, die ins Unternehmertum einsteigen wollen. Gerber stellt die gängige Annahme infrage, dass technisches Fachwissen ausreicht, um ein erfolgreiches Unternehmen zu führen. Stattdessen betont er die Bedeutung von Systemen und Prozessen, um ein skalierbares und effizientes Geschäft aufzubauen. Das Buch bietet (in Englischer Sprache) dabei eine sehr amerikanisierte Sicht auf das Unternehmertum. Da sich nicht alles 1:1 ins Deutsche übertragen lässt, habe ich dieses Buch eher gelesen, um meinen Horizont zu erweitern und neue Ideen kennenzulernen. Daher nur 4 Sterne.
