Micheal Gerber published a book called The E-Myth Revisited back in 1986.
I should have read it when it was published. But if I had, I would not have so much joy doing what I do now. I’d be running a global computer empire instead.
The book tells you why 90% of us small-business startups end too soon.
Instead I read the book after my firm had closed. It inspired me to develop my CrashProof your Business course to help those of us who do fail. You discover how to survive the closure fallout. It’s free during this COVID time.
Someone introduced me to David Jenyns last year. David was so fired up by Richard’s book he has devoted his career to systemising companies. Especially small businesses.
A few years ago, David got a call out of the blue from Richard Gerber’s wife. Richard had heard about David’s efforts and wanted David’s help to publish his last book. (The last one he intended to write, that is.)
David quit everything to scurry over to the USA to invest six months into Richard’s book launch.
He abandoned his businesses for half a year just to get the chance to work with Richard.
I can’t ditch my business for a fortnight, let alone half a year. Could you?
And yet, David’s firms thrived in his absence. They kept making money while he took a working sabbatical.
Two months ago David sent me a pre-release copy of his new book: Systemology: Create Time, Reduce Errors and Scale Your profits with Proven Business Systems.
Since reading his book, I’m obsessed with systemising every facet of my business.
I’m finding ways to offer better service while decreasing my personal involvement. And recording my processes so someone else can do the work when needed. (When the business grows, for instance. Or when I decide to take a Tim Ferris Mauritian vacation.)
This book describes in graphic detail what you need to do to stop working and start earning.
