Publisher's summary

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.

Don’t Start a Small Business Without Enduring This Ok Read

Important advise somewhat agitated by an annoying performance and maybe a thousand more words than necessary (his tendency to repeat the same words every sentence sometimes to make a point made me want to yell at my phone). You need to read this before going it on your own, through feel free to skip later fluff near the end.

Every entrepreneur needs this!

A friend recommended this book as his best advice for entrepreneurs. He was absolutely right! I see where my business is struggling without systems and now see more clearly the next steps.

Repetitive

A great insight but it is repeated too many times and too many chapters throughout the book.

Redundant writing. If 20% of words is chopped off, it will be a better book.

Re-read E-Myth and identified new gaps.

Truly an amazing resource to understand the importance of systemization one’s business. A must read for a business to scale.
