In this first new and totally revised edition of the 150,000-copy underground bestseller, 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. He then 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 read The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way.

Own a business? You owe it to yourself to read this book.

December 12, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

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.

Heavy on concept, light on detail.

May 19, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

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.

Are you more technician, manager or entrepreneur?

April 7, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

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.

Before you even think about starting a business, read this book!

March 17, 2018

Format: Audible AudiobookVerified Purchase

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!

The E-Myth: No Longer a Myth, but Still a Problem

May 15, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Gerber's book has quite the readership. I read the original when it first came out and just read the revisited version. While there are various places where Gerber can be criticized... or at least noted to be incomplete... or perhaps better - selectively right, there are fundamentals he covers that are crucial. Every entrepreneur who starts a business as a technician (i.e. highly skilled in a domain), must move through the stages of becoming one who manages and then leads the business. Good basics and a good framework. Lots more reading and learning is needed to get the details of how best to do what he describes generally. But Gerber will give the overview and point you in a good direction.

Good Book. Great Information

November 9, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The only reason why I purchased this book was for a class in college that I took. I was grateful that I bought this book because there is a lot of useful information in it regarding what is necessary for small businesses to succeed and the most needed steps to do so. Also, it talks about why small businesses fail and how to get out of your business/products before taking a huge hit.

I pushed myself to finish this since it was highly recommended. While I usually enjoy lessons learned through story telling, I found the narrative to read like fan fiction, with business as the object of a story line that was mostly simplistic wish fulfillment. I like pie and I like business but it kind of hindered my appreciation of the actual salient points the book does make. I still have people recommending this book, which I guess makes sense if you compare it to a blockbuster at the cineplex, oh so popular and generally devoid of anything but giving the audience what it wants.

Great Guide for anyone in Business

Great book for any business start ups or already in business. It's a wonderful guide on how to run a successful business.

Long-winded, common sense content

Couldn’t make it past the 2nd chapter. So many high reviews but it’s terrible! I found my self skipping whole pages because it’s so repetitive and long-winded.Read more

A focus on basics that every business owner should read.

Great read. The story line keeps it interesting and relevant.
