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

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Growing Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It – Michael E. Gerber

Why do so many growing businesses struggle, even when they're run by talented, passionate, and hardworking people?

According to Michael E. Gerber, one of the biggest reasons is what he calls the E-Myth, the Entrepreneurial Myth: the mistaken belief that being good at the technical work of a business automatically means you know how to build and run a successful business.

A great baker can make amazing cakes. A skilled designer can create outstanding designs. A talented mechanic can repair almost anything. But being excellent at the work doesn't necessarily mean knowing how to build a business around that skill.

The E-Myth Revisited challenges this way of thinking and shows you how to move beyond simply working in your business to learning how to work on your business.

Michael E. Gerber explains the three roles that exist within every business owner, the Entrepreneur, Manager, and Technician and how understanding these roles can help you create a business that is organized, predictable, and less dependent on your constant personal effort.
