The E-Myth Revisited

Why Most Small Business Don’t Work and What to Do About It

Ever wonder why most small businesses-- no matter how huge effort they put in their endeavor--still fail? Micheal Gerber reveals repparttar 104304 answers in this book. Accordingly, repparttar 104305 future of small businesses revolve in only three philosophies: repparttar 104306 e-myth (entrepreneurial myth), repparttar 104307 turn-key revolution, and repparttar 104308 business development process.

The E-myth The e-myth, or repparttar 104309 entrepreneurial myth, evolved from one very fatal assumption-- that repparttar 104310 success of every business is simply achieved by summing up repparttar 104311 following: an entrepreneur’s desire to own a business plus repparttar 104312 certain amount of capital he puts in plus repparttar 104313 knowing repparttar 104314 amount of targeted profit.

Little did repparttar 104315 entrepreneurs know that this assumption spell DISASTER rather than SUCCESS. Entrepreneurs need to learn to focus more on repparttar 104316 business—the people involved in it and repparttar 104317 phases it normally undergoes. Knowledge on these can save small businesses from experiencing entrepreneurial seizure—a stage wherein an entrepreneur goes through feeling of exhilaration, exhaustion, and despair.

Small businesses basically consist of three main characters namely: repparttar 104318 technician (the doer and builder), repparttar 104319 manager (the planner), and repparttar 104320 entrepreneur (the dreamer, visionary). Moreover, small businesses have different life phases. These are: infancy (the technician’s phase); adolescence (getting some help phase); beyond repparttar 104321 comfort zone; and, maturity and repparttar 104322 entrepreneurial perspective.

The Turn-key Revolution As implied by repparttar 104323 term itself, Turn-key Revolution speaks of repparttar 104324 distinct transformations on repparttar 104325 way businesses are managed and should be managed. One very prominent example is repparttar 104326 introduction of McDonalds repparttar 104327 idea of business format franchise to repparttar 104328 business world.

The business format franchise has set dramatic turn around on repparttar 104329 future of small businesses. Here, repparttar 104330 franchisor entitles repparttar 104331 franchisee to owning rights to his entire business system. This format is anchored on repparttar 104332 belief that repparttar 104333 real product of a business is its sales technique rather than what it sells.
