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.

Must read for any entrepreneur!

My wife and I are planning to start our own business this year and this book was highly recommended by a friend. Could not be happier that I read this before starting our business! I feel like I’m head of the game now. Definitely listening to this again to take even more notes

Life changing and so practical yet FUN to read in story form!!!

This is the best business book I’ve read yet. I love how it listens/reads like a story that’s fun and engaging like real life instead of just spewing facts that don’t engage my imagination or creativity. And YET it was also packed with TONS of actionable steps! So thankful for this book and looking forward to implementing these things in my business! (Also love that the narrator’s voice is really engaging and fun to listen to! :)

Realmente necesitaba que me insultaran asi

Por casi 20 años educandome a mi mismo, leyendo libros, viendo videos, haciendo cursos en internet o institutos tecnicos. Siempre siento que he ido avanzando durante mi vida. Pero cuando llego la hora de tratar de salir de la vida de empleado y lanzar mi negocio, realmente me senti estancado, volvi a ver mas videos y guias pero aun asi no lograba avanzar. No sabia que pasaba, cada año estabas mas preparado tecnicamente que el anterior, pero eso no hacia que mi negocio avanzara.

Entonces oi este libro... dio justo en el blanco. era exactamente la pieza del rompecabezas que necesitaba. Fue difgicil de aceptarlo pero tiene 100% razon. Lo bueno es que no solo te ahce descubrir el problema sino tambien como solucionarlo.

Si puediera darle mas estrellas se lo daria :)

I Really enjoyed the beginning and overall the entire book. Very poetic and motivational. I especially like led the idea of why we struggle as entrepreneurs from the many people we have working in us and against one another.
