If you’re putting everything on the line for it, you want to set yourself up for success. There’s no better way to do that by learning from others. While it’s great to read about success stories and what works, you’ll also want to check out what didn’t work for business owners.
About the Book – E Myth Revisited.
We selected Michael E. Gerber’s The E Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It. Instead of a dark story narrating failure, Gerber show why small businesses don’t work and offer proven solutions to this problem. It becomes more of a guidebook and instruction manual, rather than your typical how-to read that might not offer as much real-world experience.
“In this first new and totally revised edition of the 150,000-copy underground 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. 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. He then 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 the 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,” says Amazon.
