August 18, 2008 7:23 PM
Michael Gerber is the author of a series of books about entrepreneurs including his best selling and most famous book,
The E-Myth Revisited — Why Most
Small Businesses Don't Work and What To Do About It.
How To Guides for the Small Business Owner
The E-Myth Revisited has been referred to as one of the best handbooks for small
business owners in the world today. The E-Myth Revisited
isn't the only book that Michael Gerber has authored.
He is the author of six other books that tackle the topic of being a successful entrepreneur.
They are The Power Point, The E-Myth Manager, The E-Myth Contractor,
The E-Myth Physician, E-Myth Mastery and Awakening the Entrepreneur Within.
Michael Gerber has been working with small business owners for a long time. For the past 30 years,
Gerber has offered training and coaching services to business owners of all types. Thousands of business
owners have taken him up on his offer. Gerber argues in many of his books that most small
businesses are not started up by entrepreneurs who are seized by the entrepreneurial spirit.
Instead, they are started by employees who like their work but don't like their jobs. These employees
assume that just because they are good at their work, it will automatically make them good at starting a
business around their work. Gerber explains the reason this is often not the case.
Michael Gerber and E-Myth Worldwide In addition to writing books,
Michael Gerber founded the company E-Myth Worldwide. The company is designed to teach small business owners the
strategies, skills and solutions required to build and run a successful small business.
The goal of the company is to reveal the E-Myth to business owners so that they will know
how to combat it and develop the skills necessary to build a successful small business.
Gerber identifies the three different personalities of a business owner as: the entrepreneur,
the manager and the technician. Gerber believes that most businesses are run by technicians.
A technician is someone who is good at their work but not necessarily good at running a business.
Michael Gerber believes it is important to help technicians develop the skills needed to run a successful
small business. Gerber's Business Training for the Entrepreneur
In addition to writing books, Michael Gerber gives talks to entrepreneurs regarding strategies
and techniques as to how to take their business to the next level. Many of the strategies
and principles he outlines in his books are also shared in these talks. Gerber specializes in helping
small business owners set up business systems instead of running their business like a job. Michael
Gerber is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs who are looking to take their businesses to the next level.
Most new business owners, particularly those who are developing a business around a specific profession, have
no idea of the skills necessary to be successful. The gaps in their skill set cause the failure of many businesses.
Michael Gerber helps small business owners address their skill gaps so that they can build a growing and thriving business.
