Description:

In this first new and totally revised edition of the over two million copy bestseller, 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. Next, 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 it is a franchise or not. Finally, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. After you have read The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way.

5Must Read for any Entrepreneur  Nov 18, 2009
This book has such a wealth of information to starting, or getting your small business to succeed. I've been in business for over 15 years, yet reading this book had helped me finally take it to a new level. The advise is very practical and can apply to any business. Wish I would have read it years ago!

3"The E-Myth" Review  Nov 16, 2009
I read this book once, and havent picked it up again. I bought it over a year ago when I began my quest to start my own business. It helped prepare me with the mindset that is needed to become an entrepreneur and to regain my freedom. but besides that it didnt help me much. however, it did help me to setup the structure of my first business model which will be helpful once I find the right books to help me start my own business. if you, like me, are seeking to become an entrepreneur then this book is cheap enough that you can read and wont regret buying, but dont expect it to have ALL the answers you need to start your own business..dont expect it to have ANY of the answers you need. Its probably PRICELESS to the over-worked entrepreneur but not so priceless for start-ups.... Im not sure what I was looking for, but Im quite sure that I didnt find it in this book. oh well....nothing gained, nothing loss. I wouldnt buy it again if i had to.... its only worth 'checking out' at your local library, im sure they have it. good luck :)

1Shopping on Amazon.Com  Nov 10, 2009
Amazon.com was sneaky and very difficult to even find a place to leave feedback.
They tried to make me use their credit card, very sneaky!! I will never use Amazon.com again....they put me in a really bad credit situation by forcing their credit card down my throat. BEWARE of SHOPPING HERE

4Read this BEFORE you start a business!  Nov 08, 2009
This book taught me that if you open a pie shop because you love making pies, you're in for a big shock. At least half your time will be spent on the business, rather than in it. The book also showed me how to systemise my operation to maximise my pie time.

4Many valuable ideas  Nov 04, 2009
Reviewer DougA (who gave this book 3 Stars) wrote: "Seasoned business people and grisled entrepreneurs will find this book repetitive, pedestrian and more than a little frustrating as they wait for Gerber to make his point". However DougA, like me, put this book on his class reading list. Gerber's clumsy device of the imaginary Sarah drives me up the wall, but buried in there are some really good and important messages: get over "loving to be a baker" or whatever and knuckle down; find a way of doing business that works and define it. Innovate, quantify, orchestrate is Gerber's way of saying what you can measure you can improve and later incorporate. I believe a lot of readers (people I've spoken with, some of them students) entirely miss Gerber's point. They think Gerber means "start a franchise", but he doesn't. Gerber means run your small business as if you were going to start a franchise. Now you have the message. Now you don't need the book.
