Book Reviews of The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It

Book Review: Better than an MBA
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a small business owner who's interested in growing my business but did not know how to do it. Without any business background, I'm figuring out things on my own as I go. I always wondered about what kind of "business models" there is. I was considering doing an MBA hoping to find answers. Luckily, I bought this book and I'm on Chapter 11 now (Your Business Development Program) and feel enlightened. The book talks about three phases of business development (infancy, adolescence, and maturity) and how to create a business development process. By the time I finish reading this book, I expect I have my answer.

Summary of The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It

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.
