The E-Myth Revisited -- still going strong!
"The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It" is currently number 10 on the New York Times Paperback Business Bestseller list. Originally published in 1986 (as "The E-Myth"), and fully revised in 1995, The E-Myth Revisited offers a radically fresh business perspective that has been fervently embraced by business owners and scholars both in the U.S. and abroad.
Penned by E-Myth Worldwide founder and chairman, Michael E. Gerber, The E-Myth Revisited has long been a staple in the business community. It has been voted the number one business book by Inc. 500 CEOs, and has consistently beaten its contemporaries in longevity on the BusinessWeek and other business best-seller lists. But its recent ascension on the New York Times list is an exciting and remarkable achievement.
At the heart of The E-Myth Revisited is the concept that businesses are not started by entrepreneurs. According to Gerber, technicians -- people with narrowly defined skill sets, such as plumbers, doctors, accountants, contractors, and so on -- are accountable for most small business startup activity, yet most are not adequately prepared to successfully run a business.
Dispelling business myths
The book walks you through the steps in the life of a business -- from entrepreneurial infancy, through adolescent growing pains, to the mature entrepreneurial perspective -- and works to dispel the myths about starting and growing a new business. With sharp insight, Gerber points out how common assumptions, expectations, and even technical expertise, can get in the way of running and growing a profitable business.
The E-Myth Revisited outlines crucial processes and strategies to optimize the leadership, management, marketing, and other vital systems of a business. It offers a clear plan to foster and develop the essential business development skills that every small business owner needs to succeed, and details how to nurture a business in a predictable, productive way while drawing the vital distinction between working on your business and working in your business.
Read the book to gain:
- A valuable understanding of how to develop and improve your business systems
- Practical, action-oriented insights to catapult your business to the next level
- A radical shift in your thinking as you learn to turn your business into a growth machine.

It is exciting to see that not only is E-Myth revisited on the New York Time's Bestseller list, but also used by professors at many business colleges. Here is a college course syllabus that was just forwarded to me by a friend. Here is what was said as required reading for this class about Business:
One of the best entrepreneurial books available, The E-Myth Revisited is applicable to all aspects of life & business, church, and family. Students are required to read the entire book as part of the class, and write a 3-4 page paper relating the book to their own experiences. It is recommended that you read the book during the first two weeks of class in order to get the most from the lectures and begin preparing for your assigned paper.
