Reader reviews for The E Myth Revisited
Review summary
Readers widely praised the book’s central ideas—build systems, work on your business rather than in it, and balance the Entrepreneur, Manager, and Technician roles—as clarifying and useful for small-business owners, especially newcomers. Many said the frameworks inspire process discipline, checklists, and replicable customer experiences, though some questioned how well the franchise-style approach fits creative or highly skilled service work. The delivery drew heavy criticism: reviewers called the prose repetitive and condescending, the fictional case studies cheesy and self-congratulatory, and the text padded with pitches for the author’s services and dated corporate examples. Overall, it’s viewed as an influential but polarizing classic: valuable insights if you can skim past the style.

From the rear cover
E-Myth \ 'e-, 'mith\ n 1: the entrepreneurial myth: the myth that most people who start small businesses are entrepreneurs 2: the fatal assumption that an individual who understands the technical work of a business can successfully run a business that does that technical work
Voted #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs.
An instant classic, this revised and updated edition of the phenomenal bestseller dispels the myths about starting your own business. Small business consultant and author Michael E. Gerber, with sharp insight gained from years of experience, points out how common assumptions, expectations, and even technical expertise can get in the way of running a successful business.
Gerber walks you through the steps in the life of a business--from entrepreneurial infancy through adolescent growing pains to the mature entrepreneurial perspective: the guiding light of all businesses that succeed--and shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business, whether or not it is a franchise. Most importantly, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business.
The E-Myth Revisited will help you grow your business in a productive, assured way.
