Truly terrible. Dont waste your time. - By: Gordon C. Griffin, 16 Jan 2008
My God. Never have I heard such a weak set of obvious ideas padded into such a marathon of self congratulatory waffle.

8 hours of audio book? The message could be communicated with far more impact & without loss of detail in an hour tops. I find myself able to read the newspaper while listening to this droning American & still able to follow the banal course of the message, such is the pace of the reading & the level of repetition - if you've missed a bit, just listen a minute longer, he's bound to repeat himself (and again, & again).

He goes on & on, saying the same thing a dozen times, presumably for "effect". The only effect for me being frustration & boredom.

And as for the idea that someone starting a business, initiallly as a one man band, is going to write an organisation chart with a dozen positions, write role descriptions for each, & sign his own name against a "contract" for each position? Truly bizarre & not of the real world. Even if you thought it would be a template for slotting in new hires as you expand the business, the likelihood is the business needs will have changed & your org chart & position contracts will alll be in the bin.

Save a day of your life, dont bother with this book.

This is the only business development programme you'll ever need. - By: Arthur, 04 Nov 2007
In this book Michael Gerber sets out the basis for his E-Myth. It will strike an immediate chord with everybody who runs a business, whether they are successful or whether they are wondering why it is so difficult to achieve what they had in mind when they set out on the entrepreneurial path. I strongly recommend that you read the book, & when you have finished, log onto the website & continue your journey to understating how successful business actuallly works.
Rubbish - By: Peter Burke, 23 Oct 2007
Don't believe a word of what the person above has said, I literallly have read hundreds of reviews & use the book as a guide to develop my business projects. I currently have 3 succesful businesses & part of it is down to this book & the philosophy Michael Gerber teaches.

e-myth revisited - By: SF, 14 Jan 2007
What a load of waffle! I usuallly tried to read this book last thing at night in bed, it was so boring I was lucky if I managed a page per night (beats sleeping pills). I decided to throw this book away because it would take me a year to read it! Each chapter starts promising but then tends to waffle on too much & you have to go back 2 pages to find out exactly what you thought you were going to find out, read another page & again go back 2 pages! Should change title to E-Myth each page revisted.
