Book Review: E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber

I haven't read an E-Myth series book since 2004, but thought it was time to re-read the classic small business book. Owning Etap Communications and a start-up (PlanMyTournament.com) means I'm constantly running in different directions. This book outlines processes and steps to take in order to create quality processes that are repeatable by writing things down in a step-by-step list.

Creating a process for everything helps when I take vacation or am sick. It's time to really expand on the number of processes we have in place so as we market Etap Communications and bring in new business, we have an established program to easily integrate new staff members.

Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited goes through the story of Sarah, a pie shop owner. Even though he describes the process and business principles through a B2C format - you can easily see a connection for B2B. This is a great read, and re-read, and a Top 10 business book for business owners in my opinion.
