 A story of my business! August 31, 2008
I just cannot believe how amazing this book is!! I have never had this experience of feeling the book is talking about me and my business on every page! Gerber's tips, knowledge and methods will surely lead Entrepreneurs into a better understanding of how business works, what is needed to be done and how to do it.
Since I started reading the book I started using a highlighter to mark what I considered was interesting and finally noticed I would have had to highlight it at all since all the pages have 100% valuable information for all of us trying to make our business successful.
If you are creating your own business or trying to make it better, that's the first book I would recommend!
A must read for every business owner or entrepreneur August 28, 2008
No doubt one of the most important books any entrepreneur or business owner should read. I thought it was so good, that in addition to this book, I ended up reading one of his other books (Emyth Mastery) as well as buying his tape programs from Nightingale Conant.
The basic premise is that most entrepreneurs work in their businesses rather than on their businesses. That is developing the systems, processes and strategies that allow other people to do the work. He then goes on to explain what entrepreneurs should be working on (the business development process.)
Whilst probably not a unique insight (successful business owners have always done this,) he does bring it into focus and provides a program to follow and a mindset to adopt. [...]
A must read for any business owner August 25, 2008
When this book was recommended to me by two people over the course of two days, I knew I had to read it. If you have started or are contemplating starting a business, it is a must-read. I saw myself throughout the pages of this book .... knowing I was frustrated in trying to run my business and not really understanding why. This book spells it out. It's real. It's applicable. I've recommended it to every friend I have who runs their own business. You HAVE to buy this book TODAY!

The answer to success or failure in business August 15, 2008
I first read The E Myth Revisited as I was preparing a local policy and procedure manual for my second small business, a national franchise. As I read the book a light bulb went off - in fact several light bulbs flashed - and suddenly I realized why small business seemed so difficult. I had indeed been more of a technician in my first business - working more IN the business than ON the business. I am now a Small Business Consultant and Michael Gerber's words "Work ON your Business, not IN your business" still guide me today.

 a book that gets you on the right track July 23, 2008
This book is a must-read for any small business entrepreneur. Gerber gives step by step instructions (strategies) of what the entrepreneur needs to think about and what mindset s/he needs to keep in order to be successful. I found chapters 10-18 to be the most helpful, where the discussion focuses on determining the ultimate goal for your individual business (to help achieve your life goal) and provides a road map of how to get there.
The one drawback I found with this book was the story (stated to be a true series of events, but with the names changed) about Sarah and her pie company. Gerber illustrated his points well enough in the "guts" of the book that it seems like the Sarah story was just "filler".
