Entrepreneurship Books by Popular Business Writer Michael E. Gerber

Title: E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do about It

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.

Title: The E-Myth Attorney: Why Most Legal Practices Don’t Work and What to Do About It

<p class="null1">Praise for <i>The E-Myth Attorney</i></p> <p>"Twelve years ago I was introduced to the systems in this book by Robert Armstrong and Sanford Fisch. These visionaries transformed my estate planning practice and my life. Prior to meeting them and living the <i>E-Myth Attorney</i> life, I was an unhappy, struggling lawyer who wondered why I ever went to law school. I disliked the practice of law. The grind of it wasn't fulfilling personally or financially, but that changed forever. Thanks to the systems and ideas within these pages and the guidance of my mentors, Robert and Sandy, I am able to fully enjoy and thrive in my practice, helping people protect their families. That's why I went to law school. "<br> —<b>Cheryl K. David, Law Offices of Cheryl David</b></p> <p>"This is a NOW read for attorneys. Gerber, Armstrong, and Fisch hit the mark by applying E-Myth principles to the legal profession. The attorney's unspoken fear is 'What happens if I'm not here?' This book is a road map for creating systems that make a business out of a practice, one that works for you, not you for it. My seventeen-year association with Robert and Sandy created a breakthrough experience for my practice, my family, and my life. Live and apply these principles and watch what happens to your practice . . . and your life."<br> —<b>Larry V. Parman, Parman &amp; Easterday</b></p> <p>"Between Michael Gerber's wisdom of 'systems' and Robert and Sandy's keen insight gained from coaching law firms around the country, this terrific book is transformational reading for anyone who wants to improve their law practice—and their life!"<br> —<b>Paul A. Kraft, Frank &amp; Kraft, A Professional Corporation, Attorneys at Law</b></p> <p>"It is often said that there is more to the practice of law than being a good attorney. An abundance of knowledge and technical proficiency mean little if an attorney/owner lacks the ability to lead his associates, his staff, and his clients. It means little if the attorney/owner lacks the ability to manage the equalizer that favors none, which is time. If what you seek is a better, more balanced life, derived from an enlightened way to transform your law practice into a successful business that delivers quality legal services, and which is then transformed further into a successful enterprise that functions smoothly in your absence, then you should read and heed the pearls of wisdom contained in The E-Myth Attorney. If you care not, then you will be doomed to repeat the failures of so many who came before you."<br> —<b>Stephen A. Mendel, The Mendel Law Firm, LP</b></p> <p><b>The E-Myth Vertical series</b> brings Michael E. Gerber's proven E-Myth philosophy to a wide variety of different professional practice areas. The E-Myth, short for "Entrepreneurial Myth," is simple: too many small businesses fail to grow because their leaders think like technicians, not entrepreneurs. Gerber's approach gives small enterprise leaders practical, proven methods that have already helped transform more than 60,000 businesses. Let the E-Myth Verticalseries boost your professional practice today!</p>

<p>More than ten years after his first bestselling book, The E-Myth, changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of small business owners, Michael Gerber?trepreneur, author, and speaker extraordinaire fires the next salvo in his highly successful E-Myth Revolution. Drawing on lessons learned from working with more than 15,000 small, medium-sized, and very large organisations, Gerber has discovered the truth behind why management doesn't work and what to do about it.

It explores why every manager must take charge of his own life, reconcile his own personal vision with that of the organisation, and develop an entrepreneurial mind-set to achieve true success.</p>

Title: The E-Myth Accountant: Why Most Accounting Practices Don't Work and What to Do about It
