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.

Nice enough

I would say it’s a nice enough book. Some concepts are kinda new, but you might find it repetitive if you went through business book in the past!

At the end it’s perfect for someone who like easy reading with concept that you can apply in your day-to-day!

Everything you Expected

This is one of those books where you can believe the hype. Since it's so practical and even step-by-step in many instances, if it didn't work, it wouldn't be so. Popular.

For anyone who, like me, was debating between which to start first, E-Myth or Awakening the Entrepreneur Within, I would say this is by far the stronger book if you already have a business, or have a business idea. If you're confused, the other book will help you find more direction.

Gerber has said in an interview and it bears repeating. There is a lot more to this book than just the last few chapters on systems. The core approach and framework is important too.

Envision where you see your business ending up, and then see where you are now. That gap is what needs to be done in your business.

I was hooked by the phrase a technician who had an entrepreneurial seizure. Perfectly True.

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.

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.
