E Myth

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with RICOASTALLIVING.COM

  There have been a lot of blogs posted here on Active Rain lately about good business books to read.

I would like to make a suggestion to new Agents and Brokers to read the E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber.

This book explains why entrepreneurs fail in the first few years of opening their business. It tells you what you need to do to make your business like a Franchise. How systems can make your business run. How your business should be set up so that wherever you are, it is still running. A great read.

After you have read the E-Myth, go on to the E-Myth Manager  and then go on to read the E-Myth Mastery  There is now a new one out called E-Myth Revisited, which I also have but have not finished reading, so I cannot give a synopsis of it.  There are several others, which probably will not apply to an Active Rain member, like E-Myth Physician. However, even if you only read the First E Myth book, it will change how you perceive your business.

Happy Reading.

Karen,  All good books with good advice. Taking the teleclass is also very good.  The e-myth is always on my mind...

Kristal,

I agree. These books have really made me look at my business through different eyes and I am working at acheiving results. And I know it works because the person that recommended them to me has a business modeled exactly like this and does very well..

As a business owner the  hardest part is "letting go" of the things one has been doing successfully for so long. Don't you agree?

Really?  Oh I remember you are the gal in the French maid....

I like wearing the Blue ("trust me") suit to closings.  But for everyday wear I'm more into Chico and slip on shoes.  Gone are the days of matching heels/suites and hose.

I'd rather do cowboy boots and jeans, but my broker won't allow us in the office in jeans...

Hey...You must have posted these Blogs while I was asleep last night. You know I have not read these books yet. However, we have discussed them in the past...I am not franchisable...But what a great idea. Do you have a kitten? I like kittens. I could also use a virtual cocktail to celebrate...

I am trying to determine if Franchisable is a word Google has no suggestions for that...Hmmm.

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...Kum La Ka Lakka...ROAR!

Kristal,

We are lucky in that we can wear whatever we want at the office. I dress when I have a client or a showing, etc. I have a long black coat with a hood thats really sharp looking and it covers everything, so I wear jeans under that.

TLW,

Actually I have a very large fat cat. His name is Max. The E Myth follows the premise that ALL business;s are able to be franchised, but not actually franchised.

"The Lovely Karen"...My dogs took a chunk out of my cat. I had to find him a new home. I gave him to a little girl whose kitten was hit by a truck. He is now a happy Fat Cat. I need to be E-booked. TLW=ROAR.
