About this listen

As statistics tell us that most of the "ventureholics" who go out on their own to start a business will ultimately fail; and, as readers will learn, the main reason for this is because most businesses are not started the right way. Based on decades of experience working with small business owners, Michael Gerber will teach budding entrepreneurs his one-of-a-kind seven-step method - which is meant to be conceptualized long before the doors are ever opened, and what will ultimately position business' for long-term success and growth.

Not by writing a business plan or spending countless amounts of resources on marketing will readers learn what is essential to creating a successful small business. By following the methodology outlined in this book small business owners will be able to build a solid structure for their business - what it looks like, how it works, the fluency of performance, etc. It is not until these seven-steps are considered and fully-executed that the business will be prepared for growth.

MICHAEL E. GERBER is a best-selling author and founder and chairman of E-Myth Worldwide, a company that transforms the way small-business owners grow their companies. He has coached, taught, and trained over 60,000 small businesses in 145 countries, which has led him to become the world's preeminent small-business guru.

This is one of the best books I have ever listened to on business.
If you havnt listened to it and run a small business, it could transform the way you think. Gerber unifies the practical and the spiritual in one coherant text.

Fantastic

Michael takes the lesson on entrepreneurship to a whole new level. Not all listeners will make it to the end of this audiobook, the message will seem so fantastic that they will not be able to connect with it. But those that do will hear a philosophical and spiritual lesson that will transform the way you do business, and in doing so inevitably lead to success you could not have imagined possible. I'm going to work on my dream right now!

The basics of business starting is covered but with a twist that gives you more to think about. I loved it.

Great thought

Pretty amazing...starts off with some great ideas to build and develop a small business and then takes a deep dive into the spiritual realm and how a relationship with God can be built through building a business. Inspirational

Definitely going to be reviewing my business after this. So many great practicalideas at the beginning of the book. And a rallying cry of business theory in the rest.

It got me psyched up for business.

Not enough, Michael is primarily into his own believes but fails to share them in a practical business manner. Only thing captured was the vision of expanding to 10,000. However he does not take the listener past vision.

Metaphorical

i bought the audio book based on the sample available on audible and on the reviews. the book has some gems, but i couldn't bear the repetition in the book!
if you can get past this, you will find some useful thoughts in there.

good but gets a bit repetitive sometimes

Style over substance . Not much more than that. A couple of good bits but generally tosh

First review after 30odd books and 6 months subscriptions. First three hours of the book is plausible advice, if a little derivative. The last hour or so the author declaring God exists and is the only reason a business will succeed - this completely ruins the narrative and makes me believe the author has no understanding of what makes a business actually successful and is thus pointless to listen to in the context of business advice.

Author is incredible though! Such a good voice.

Ridiculous proselytising blithering idiot.

I loved the E-Myth but this book takes no direction and finishes into a sermon and more about faith. I learned next to nothing. The story purports to come from a mechanic expanding his business. Little is mentioned about the mechanic throughout but Gerber isn't long in ramming his faith into you, especially towards the end.

Really disappointing and more the ramblings of an old man than a decent business book.

Not on the same calibre as theE-Myth
