The E-Myth Seminar

Taking Charge of Your Business and Your Life

By: Michael E. Gerber

Narrated by: Michael E. Gerber

Eighty percent of all businesses fail in their first five years!

When you are facing down those kind of odds, you'd better know exactly what you are doing before you take the plunge. Success lies in the system! Gerber knows that for a business to be prosperous it must function like a powerful machine. The type of business is irrelevant - a precise system of dynamic interplay between the connected parts should be in place. The well-planned system will, once started, chug along continually and predictably, transporting you to the better life of which you've only dreamed. After all, your business should make it possible for you to do whatever you wish, whenever you wish, while continuing to produce exceptional results... without you! That is your fundamental goal - dispensability! Gerber will:

• Show you the Three Essential Components of Business Development: Innovation, Quantification, and Orchestration.
• Teach you the important questions to ask in order to nurture an extraordinary business.
• Reveal the five skills vital to the entrepreneur - Discrimination, Concentration, Organization, Innovation, and Communication.

Gerber's refined techniques for entrepreneurs enumerate how to successfully build a business that will soar in both booming and sagging economic markets, learn to focus on the results, not the work, and to see your business as your product. You'll also hear Gerber's 7 Steps of Business Development:

• Development of Your Primary Aim
• Development of Your Business Picture
• Organizational Development
• Management Development
• People Development
• Marketing Development
• Systems Development

Life changing

I have read virtually every relevant business book since the 1980s. I avoided this one because I thought the e was about e-commerce and I thought there were other more current priorities. Not kidding. In fact this is one of the most valuable books I have read / listened to. This is a must read and is inspiring. 2 caveats how does one type on an iPhone when the keyboard covers the screen. And secondly, the lame sales pitch at the end of this seminar somewhat cheapens it and does not do justice to the awesome content and incredible delivery. Ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.

Michael E. Gerber at his best.

Life changing!

This program was so impressive that I listened straight through. Finally something that defines the "how" rather than just the what. I have a clear plan and structure to work with. If you are in business for yourself, you need to read or listen to this book.

the best seminar on how to systemize your business

this is the best seminar on how to systemize your business and set yourself free from inefficient business routine. the seminar is a blue print how to develop business processes in your business so you either franchise or sell you business if you wish, or just have an exponential growth and happy customers

Wish I listened to this years ago

Dated for sure but still valuable for small businesses looking to grow a great company

Invaluable info for the Business Owner

I've been in a service business for 22 years. I wish I had this information 22 years ago!!! Michael Gerber provides the business owner with a method to turn a small business into an empire. Thank you so much!!!

fundamentally changed my thinking

this book doesn't disappoint. If you own your own business don't hesitate to buy this!

Excellent Seminar! Learn what the pros do!

Trader Joe's uses these secrets. What a fantastic seminar. This is for anyone. I am motivated and have a plan in action! thank you for the work and knowledge put into these books and seminars.

Work ON not IN your business

The take away is don't get caught up in everyday operations to the point your just any other employee/technician.
Rather be a visionary with a mission to grow and create a business sellers will fight to buy. I found the organizational chart exercise especially enlightening.

Exquisite Information. Beyond the norm

Over the top! When a higher standard is set, people take notice. My 35 plus years sole proprietor housekeeping business proved that as I was sought after because I set a higher standard especially to the property owners. It was not normal to do a detailed job for $5.00 a hour. But my theory was, the next lady to rent this apartment deserved it clean, spotless, and ready to move in without cleaning it again. So it cost the owner a bit more than his 3hr cleaning standard. That was my purpose to raise that standard for his property. It increased my business because of my standard. Thank you for raising the bar.
