The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber
2.0
I'll give you the big idea of this book for free: If you run your business such that you can replicate how it operates, the same way you would replicate a business meant to be franchised, you will make a business that can operate successfully without you. And ultimately, operating without you is the goal so that you can focus on the strategic vision and "work on your business" instead of "working in your business."
That's pretty much it. The rest is fluff and marketing for "E Myth Worldwide".
I just can't accept Gerber's premise that being a sole proprietor and "Technician" won't work. I can't accept that a craftsperson working for themselves is doomed to fail and they're better off working for somebody else.
It might be obvious, but as long as you stay in charge and don't abdicate running your business, you can make it work.
So overall, not bad advice, but it could have been distilled into a blog post.
