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.

Editorial Reviews

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 out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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.

Key lessons for those wanting to start a business

BySmedleyon September 25, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Michael Gerber takes a very practical approach to explaining the difference between working for a company and running a company. He keeps things on a level that is simple to understand.

A few of the key lessons from this book:
+ If your business doesn't run without you, you don't own a business, you own a job.

+ Understanding the technical work that a business does is not the same as understanding a business that does technical work.

+ What you sell is not important, the way it is delivered is.

+ There is beauty in following an immaculate process.

+ The product is what your customer feels as he walks out of your business.

Every budding entrepreneur should read this book... multiple times! It contains incredibly valuable lessons. Don't be fooled by the simplicity - it contains powerful wisdom.

Very clear

ByMartha Arvizu de Mendozaon April 16, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I truely recommend this book to those who have their own small business and want to take it up to a new level.
The situations he describes are so true, I thought he had cometo see my business.
I was looking for a book that would help me develop my company in such an institutionalized way, that it would work as a franchise, like a clock and without me. And I found just that.
It helped me understand the three escential parts we have as business starters: entrepreneur, technician and manager. How vital it is to know the relationship an equilibrium betweenn each of them. The growing of our company from infancy, through adolescente and maturity. How to determine where we are and how to move forward.
How to make our business to be system dependant and not person dependant. How to make our business the product that we are selling, etc.
And even better, after helping us make a diagnosis, the book gives us the tools to work with a turn-key operation that will actually help our business grow.
I have started to put in practice and I am sure I will have great results shortly.
