The E-Myth Revisited

The E-Myth Revisited

By Michael E. Gerber

Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It.

Why do so many small businesses struggle even when their owners are hardworking and talented?

In The E-Myth Revisited, business consultant Michael E. Gerber explains a common misunderstanding about entrepreneurship: being skilled at a particular job does not automatically mean someone knows how to run a successful business.

The book explores the difference between working in a business and working on a business. It introduces a systematic approach to building an organisation that can operate efficiently without depending entirely on its owner.
