Jamie: Great book on business.

sam: There is some good game to be had in this book, but it is almost entirely told as a story. I found myself unengaged for 80% of this book but when it does move away from Sarah and her pies, there is a great deal of knowledge and useful advice to be gained from this book. Could probably be condensed into a leaflet though. His takes on how to build a small business that works begins 115 pages into the book. My advice is to open the book at page 115.

Moritz Poser: The best business book I've ever read. I understand now, why 95% of new business don't survive. Do business owners work on the system which produces results or do they only create a job for themselves?

Gero G.Gero G.: Das Buch "The E-Myth Revisited" von Michael E. Gerber ist ein Leitfaden für alle, die ins Unternehmertum einsteigen wollen. Gerber stellt die gängige Annahme infrage, dass technisches Fachwissen ausreicht, um ein erfolgreiches Unternehmen zu führen. Stattdessen betont er die Bedeutung von Systemen und Prozessen, um ein skalierbares und effizientes Geschäft aufzubauen. Das Buch bietet (in Englischer Sprache) dabei eine sehr amerikanisierte Sicht auf das Unternehmertum. Da sich nicht alles 1:1 ins Deutsche übertragen lässt, habe ich dieses Buch eher gelesen, um meinen Horizont zu erweitern und neue Ideen kennenzulernen. Daher nur 4 Sterne.

Amazon Customer: If you are a small business owner or thinking of starting your own business you need to read this book. The insights are nothing short of amazing. The first section about motivations for going into business is pure gold - if you’re just starting out and internalize what he says it could literally be the difference between success and failure.

Much of the book is spent discussing the need for systems which is 100% correct and something many, in particular more creative people, need to take to heart. I know because I’m one of them. While he is a little too in love with the franchise model the points he makes are spot-on whether you are in retail, professional services, manufacturing or anything else.

A caveat. This has been out twenty plus years so the writing style is a bit old school. Throughout the book we listen in as he mentors a small business owner. The author lays it on pretty thick as was the style of the time so you just have to roll your eyes sometimes and forge on.

I’ve been in business 40 years and have owned my own company for 20 - I learned a lot from this book. I truly wish I read it when I was starting out. Hands down this is the best book...

Felipe C. S. Moitta: “The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything either as a blessing or a curse,”

The question has often been asked of me, “What do the owners of extraordinary businesses know that the rest don’t?” Contrary to popular belief, my experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more. The problem with most failing businesses I’ve encountered is not that their owners don’t know enough about finance, marketing, management, and operations—they don’t, but those things are easy enough to learn—but that they spend their time and energy defending what they think they know. The greatest businesspeople I’ve met are determined to get it right no matter what the cost.

Yes, the simple truth about the greatest businesspeople I have known is that they have a genuine fascination for the truly astonishing impact little things done exactly right can have on the world. It is to that fascination that this book is dedicated.

They intoxicate...

Mark R. LePage: On April 8, 1999, I discovered a book that changed the way I view business; a book that helped me to realize that running a successful architecture firm required so much more than designing great architecture. It taught me that inside the owner of every small firm exists a battle among The Entrepreneur, The Manager and The Technician, and that if we don’t attend to the needs of each, our firms are destined for failure.

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It inspired me to build Fivecat Studio as a Franchise Prototype, even though we knew selling our business systems as a franchise was never a planned goal. The systems we created for the firm have allowed us to thrive and have given us the freedom we need to balance the requirements of our firm with the responsibilities of our family. It is the book that inspired me to begin to work “on my business, rather than in my business.”

This book, written by Michael E. Gerber, had a major influence in the success of our firm and continues to guide many of our business decisions to this day. Fivecat Studio has been in business for 15 years. Annmarie and I experienced the...
