very strong, well-written and perfect for small businesses that grow faster than their owner can handle.
Every person, who starts a business, should read this book. It will help the person think about the business in a way that should ensure success.
Ben Franklin warned business owners to run their businesses or their businesses will run them. This book answers how to gain control of a business. He starts with explaining different personalities and how they fall into very predictable problems. What would happen if you couldn't come to work for a month? Would the business still be there? If your business can't survive without you, it owns you! This book will help you create a business that performs the work so you can take a vacation without returning to a crisis.
The E-Myth Revisited was recommended to me ages ago, but I never felt inspired to read it. One evening, I was perusing my stacks, pulling books out to look at their covers, hoping to find the “perfect” book to read next. Literally, The E-Myth Revisited dropped to the floor. I took it as a sign from The Universe and dug in. Boy, am I glad I did because it was exactly the book I needed! The E-Myth Revisited is a classic business book for a good reason: It teaches you a workable business model – one that allows you to help your ideal clients while earning a profit. The premise is the business franchise model. Think of McDonalds. No matter what McDonalds you go to in the U.S., you can count on the same experience, food, and service. That's because McDonald's is a franchise, and franchise owners receive the tools and training to ensure their restaurants are profitable. What if you set up your business like a franchise? What if your business was designed in a way that you could sell it later (even if you never sell it)? How does this perspective change how you run your business? The idea of running my business like a franchise, where I am focused on how I am delivering my product (versus what the product is), was a game changer for me. It changed how I am running Celestial University, specifically my Virtual Networkers division. If you are out of ideas – or need new ideas – on how to make your business profitable, it's time to reach for a classic. It's time to reach for The E-Myth Revisited. My big takeaways: #1: Focus on my method of delivery I am the founder of an online university for women entrepreneurs. I have the platform, but how am I delivering my service, really? That's something I will be thinking about more and more. #2: I need an org chart, pronto One of the exercises Gerber recommends is to create an org chart and include positions that you can't fill yet. Once the org chart is done, I will complete “position contracts” so that I have the job descriptions nailed down before I hire someone. In the past, I shied away from both exercises because I am a one-woman show. I now know that I will stay a one-woman show if I don't think about who to add to my team. #3: I am tired of not being very profitable I am blessed to earn a profit, but I want to be more profitable. I wasn't sure how to become more profitable until I read this book. Now I have a plan. Equally important, I know I can attain it. Time to bust out of my comfort zone and do it! How The E-Myth Revisited relates to entrepreneurs: If you've gotten down this far in my review, it's probably a no-brainer how The E-Myth Revisited relates to entrepreneurs. To be sure, this book will ask hard questions and make you think outside your comfort zone. If you are ready to grow your business but need direction on how to do so, your next book should be The E-Myth Revisited. No question about it!
Gerber does a fantastic job presenting what may be the key pitfall to the new business owner. The E-Myth illustrates how to avoid this pitfall, and beat the grim business startup failure statistics. This should be required reading for all who endeavor to turn their passion into a living.
Essential reading if you're thinking of starting your own business. Best read before you start a business.
A good book for new business owners to come to terms with many mistakes that are made and ideas to make the start up business process easier. Overall it was very helpful read of what to think about and to have expectations for what the future may hold. There are definitely many things I could relate to. While the information is good, it is laid out in a very long-winded way. Sometimes it helps to drive the point home, but sometimes it feels like this book could have been about 200 pages shorter. I would still recommend any current or soon to be business owners to read this book.
The first half was really interesting and insightful. The second half...well, I think I've found the person responsible for all the things I hated most about my last job, which appear to have been implemented almost verbatim from this book.
I appreciate the approach this author takes towards small business development. His approach is broad enough for anyone thinking of starting any type of small business to find guidance. However he is also supplies enough specific guidelines to make his advice practical. I agree with him about the "mythology" of small busines; it is just working for yourself. It is more, and less, than just work. A person starting and running a small business needs to integrate it into her life not just work harder. The main disappointment I have with the book is its lack of an index. I like referring back to books as a reference.
The company that produced this book, E-Myth Worldwide, was founded in 1977 by the author and its methodology has no doubt helped make countless businesses successful. I'm holding out hope though that capitalism can do better than this. There are a few useful ideas here, but revolutionizing how to transform employees into new and improved cogs in a wheel is not a good model for the future. Also, framing the book as a conversation between the author and a fictional small business owner doesn't work well in this case. The words come across as childish and preachy.
