Building a business that works is building a life that works

This book brings to life the way of the Entrepreneur. The insight and personal story of the author brings the SOUL of the E-Myth perspective into sharp focus. It is a must for anyone who is willing to put aside preconceived expectations and learn from his journey - building a business that works is building a LIFE that works.

This book will invigorate you if you let it

This is an important book, and I suggest you read it. Whether you think you have the life of the entrepreneur all figured out or not, the truth is, none of us do. Michael brings his 30 years of experience to the table, not to tell us how to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but how to clarify our vision to produce an amazing result for the customers of our creation. As you wander through this book, the cynical part of you will want to tell Michael that he is full of it - and that he should just get to the point already and stop wasting your time with the fundamentals. But the other part of you, the true entrepreneur in you, who does not rush and does not close his mind for even a second, will appreciate how important it all is. Even very successful, experienced entrepreneurs can miss the true opportunity their company possesses to be great because they are too busy to stop and look at what it is, and what it should be. This book is a great reminder of the clarity we all need to pull off the impossible. If you truly keep your mind open and listen to the message, this book can do remarkable things for you! Awakening the Entrepreneur Within is a simple, yet profound way to approach building the next great company. Corey Kossack, President, Club E Network, Inc.

Pure excellence!

The "Other" Michael Gerber

5 A.M. & Already Behind This book is not about business as usual, it's about life and as Michael Gerber would say "flow". It's not a about making your business better, it's about daring all of us to make something in our existance more meaningful for others. Actually, it's not about us at all, it's the intuitive and challenging Michael Gerber that has and always will drive us to peek at "what's impossible" and dare us to not just "start over" but to "think over" and have the guts to actually do that which we all have dreamed...but never actually did. If you're looking for all the secerets of business, they are out there in all the other millions of books that we read hoping to satisfy that "incremental dream" and yet if we're still looking than I doubt that thirst can be quenched. Read the book twice or more, then go do something...else. I love the book, it's the "other" Michael Gerber, the one at 71 years old who still lights us up!

This book is excellent as it unlocks the key to becoming the best entrepreneur you choose to be. If you look at all great busines successes they started with a vision something that captured the imagination something that the entrepreneur was really passionate about.
