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 every freelancer & small business owner

Regardless of what kind of business venture you’re on, this book should be on your essentials bookshelf. Freelancers, Entrepreneurs, Ma n Pa shops, and small business owners will all benefit from the perspective shared by Michael Gerber in this legendary book. Oh, and the Audible version is narrated wonderfully by Michael Gerber himself.

Good knowledge, tough to listen to

I listen to a lot of books, but this one has by far been the hardest to listen to, something about the way he speaks. But there is definitely some really good knowledge in there, I would just personally advice to read it rather than listen to it.

Boring narrator good information

the anecdotes were too long but if you can parse actual info from nonsense about a pie makers dream (not goals, a literal dream) then this book is a goldmine for new business owners.
