Owning your own business might be the American dream, but all too often it becomes the all American nightmare. Michael Gerber’s “The E-Myth Revisited”, the Business Book Club’s second book, examines the fallacies in most entrepreneurs’ optimism, reasons why they fail in their business and how to create a successful business. “E-Myth Revisited” is a classic business book and must read for anyone thinking of starting a business.
“E-Myth Revisited” is written in three distinct parts. “The E-Myth and American Small Business” examines the infancy, adolescence and maturity phases of starting a business. The “Turn Key Revolution” discusses the necessity of creating uniform systems for the business. The final section, “Building a Small Business That Works,” lays out the author’s philosophy of how an entrepreneur should build a successful business. A common element throughout the book is the author’s example of Sarah, a pie baker, who learns how her business habits resulted in poor results. By the end of the book, she’s learned how to overcome the problems and build a successful business.
