Many people have million dollar ideas. They're confident that their new product or service or innovation will make them rich and that all their dreams will come true. The problem is: Most people don't know how to turn their million-dollar idea into millions of dollars. According to many social scientists, the most important thing in life is a person's social and professional network. In other words, the people around us - our associates, our team, our friends. The people we surround ourselves with - and the people we go to for advice - can mean the difference between success and failure.

Not what I expected
No practical advice or tips here. This book was an infomercial for Michael's venture, "The Dreaming Room." Don't get me wrong, I love the E-Myth. This just wasn't what I was looking for.

What is this???
Would you try another book from Michael E. Gerber and/or Michael E. Gerber?
YES!
What was most disappointing about Michael E. Gerber’s story?
It was not consistent with the other Emyth books
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
yes - terribly informercial-ish
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Awakening the Entrepreneur Within?
none
Any additional comments?
This book was an infomercial for his new adventure, "The Dreaming Room." Great guy and great other books but this was, well, boooo

Easy guidance for those wanting to take that leap
In true Michael Gerber style, this book provides easy guidance for those of us who would really like to follow the 'Entrepreneur Within' each of us.
If you have some great ideas and need to know how to turn those great ideas into a reality then this book is for you. It is not a complete Step-by-Step guide, but more the book that you need when you want to create that inferno within yourself to turn your idea into reality!
Thanks Michael...

Bummed, confused, WTF. These are the things that come to mind with this "book" (aka BLATANT INFOMERCIAL CRAP HYPE) from one of my biggest heroes Michael Gerber. A huge disaster. Dump the white suit and bring back the blue suit and red tie. We miss you.... but still love you Micheal.

Excellent example from the Master
Considering myself a serial entrepreneur I was fascinated by how well Gerber tells the story of how he became who he is. I would recommend this book for anyone either considering starting their own business (even in the dream stages) or those who have been in business for years and need a subtle reminder that they are not alone!

Poor poor...
I'm a big fan of the simple principles of Gerber and his classic book The Emyth Revisted (not on audible) but that is the only one worth reading. The Awakening The Entrepreneuer is very poor, rambling, repetitive and just a plug for his courses, a pale shadow of the real Emyth title. This is a case of a great one book author with one great message to impart spreading his brand name into areas that don't work. Trust what other reviewers are saying as well and get your business buidling inspiration elsewhere.

Gerber promoting his business
I loved emyth revisited. I gained a lot from it. In the Awakening the Entrepreneur Within Gerber promotes the sevices he offers. One of this is the Dream Room for $5000. Greed got the worst of Gerber. I have now lost trust and respect in him. When I buy a book I do not expect the writer to promote his/her business. I am not paying for their advertising.
Please do not buy this book it really is waste of money and most importantly your time.

Thought Provoking Listen
This an excellent listen. Michael Gerber's tone is soothing and easy to listen to. This book does not hold the answers but might help you to find the right questions. It is not the E-myth Revisited again, although that is referenced throughout, but arguably you want to listen to this first to determine your direction. This is more about the What and the Why, whereas E-myth might be the How?
The case study within it is a little confusing until you realise that it perfectly demonstrates how your dreams can take on a reality and the benefit in taking the time to flesh them out.
I would highly recommend that you listen to this. Sit down and think about it. Then listen to it again.
