About this audiobook

In this compact disc edition of the totally revised 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 -- 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.

    A good book for new business owners to come to terms with many mistakes that are made and ideas to make the start up business process easier. Overall it was very helpful read of what to think about and to have expectations for what the future may hold. There are definitely many things I could relate to. While the information is good, it is laid out in a very long-winded way. Sometimes it helps to drive the point home, but sometimes it feels like this book could have been about 200 pages shorter. I would still recommend any current or soon to be business owners to read this book.

    I appreciate the approach this author takes towards small business development. His approach is broad enough for anyone thinking of starting any type of small business to find guidance. However he is also supplies enough specific guidelines to make his advice practical. I agree with him about the "mythology" of small busines; it is just working for yourself. It is more, and less, than just work. A person starting and running a small business needs to integrate it into her life not just work harder. The main disappointment I have with the book is its lack of an index. I like referring back to books as a reference.

    Read it, read it again, read it again.. think since I've discovered this book this is the 5th time i have read it. It's so much to take in and even more to implement. I believe that we will get there and get our company to become an entity growing on its own.

    Gerber does a fantastic job presenting what may be the key pitfall to the new business owner. The E-Myth illustrates how to avoid this pitfall, and beat the grim business startup failure statistics. This should be required reading for all who endeavor to turn their passion into a living.

    Everything is fine.but I disagree on the sales side.
    You can’t generalize this approach for everything.
