How to Run Your Company… Into The Ground
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Three Stars. This means it is Worthwhile.
Here is my book review.
A counter intuitive way to think about the future of your business
I’m not sure how well the book is going to perform in the Amazon search engine for business owners who want ideas to make sure their business is successful. However I like this approach and one of the coaching questions I sometimes ask is…
What would you do if you deliberately wanted to stop the business from succeeding ? [continue reading…]

The E-Myth Contractor: Why Most Contractors’ Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Three Stars, meaning Worthwhile.
Here is my book review.
Not a replacement for The E-Myth Revisited
For many years, I’ve recommended the author’s book, The E-Myth Revisited as an important read for aspiring and struggling business owners. I was interested to see whether The E-Myth Contractor replaced that book for contractors or whether it should be read as a way to help focus those powerful ideas to a specific type of business.

We have more things to do than time to do them in and this is why these summaries of well known books can be so useful. They capture the big ideas without the padding.
Summary: E-Myth Mastery: Review and Analysis of Gerber’s Book
I had mixed feelings about the E-Myth Mastery book by Michael Gerber.
When I reviewed the summary on Amazon.co.uk, I gave it a rating of Four Stars, the same as for the full book.
Here is my book review.

The full title of this book by Michael Gerber is
“E-Myth Mastery: The Seven Essential Disciplines for Building a World-Class Company“.
In my review posted on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book Four Stars. This means that it is Good and Well Worth Reading.
Here is my book review.
Be very careful with this book
The sloppy writing style that Michael Gerber showed in E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It is exaggerated in this book.
It’s written in two parts:
- The initial stomach churning section that forms the basis of the audio book – avoid at all costs.
.
- The second part, which includes sections from the expensive E Myth coaching course, is very good. However I’m disappointed to read that the worksheets quickly became unavailable on the website link as this does reduce the value of these sections.
