None.  QuietedWaters | May 22, 2013 |  The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber (?)  journeyguy | Apr 2, 2013 | Gerber does a fantastic job presenting what may be the key pitfall to the new business owner. The E-Myth illustrates how to avoid this pitfall, and beat the grim business startup failure statistics. This should be required reading for all who endeavor to turn their passion into a living. (  ) RobinThoman | Mar 9, 2013 | The company that produced this book, E-Myth Worldwide, was founded in 1977 by the author and its methodology has no doubt helped make countless businesses successful. I'm holding out hope though that capitalism can do better than this. There are a few useful ideas here, but revolutionizing how to transform employees into new and improved cogs in a wheel is not a good model for the future. Also, framing the book as a conversation between the author and a fictional small business owner doesn't work well in this case. The words come across as childish and preachy. (  ) Daniel.Estes | Nov 4, 2012 | Great for its purpose. easily understood and gives a high level overview of the neccessary items ina small business. good starter info. the idea of the latch key a franchise and the modelling on procedures of process and systems and documentation is not new but is explained very well.

This book was helpful to me, even before I've begun any business. I was grateful for the lesson that a successful business is one that you can walk away from, come back a month later, and find it running just as well. As Gerber writes, "If your business depends on you, you don't own a business-you have a job." (40). (
