E-Myth \ 'e-,'mith\ n 1: the entrepreneurial myth: the myth that most people who start small businesses are entrepreneurs 2: the fatal assumption that an individual who understands the technical work of a business can successfully run a business that does that technical work Voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs. An instant classic, this revised and updated edition of the phenomenal bestseller dispels the myths about starting your own business. Small business consultant and author Michael E. Gerber, with sharp insight gained from years of experience, points out how common assumptions, expectations, and even technical expertise can get in the way of running a successful business. Gerber 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. Most importantly, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. The E-Myth Revisited will help you grow your business in a productive, assured way.

    This is an easily read but highly intelligent book

    Great resource for small business owners. I found this book easy to read using simple language and straight forward approaches to make the information stick. One of my favorite business/marketing books.

    A Great Read for Small Business Owners or Owners-to-Be

    If someone is looking for a great source to get started on the path of understanding small business ownership, The E-Myth is an anazing read to comprehension of what it takes to own a small business. I would suggest reading this before starting your business or those who have a business which needs drastic changes to make it better and to grow.

    An amazing book

    This is a great book, it explained why my business failed, I realized that I had a job on my own, but wasnt running a business. Technician, manager and entrepreneur... you really need to read what they are and where you are.

    Great book for business!

    I love this book. It sits in front of my computer at work and whenever I have down time I open it up and get to reading. Sometimes I cannot stop reading this book because it is that entertaining.
