What Does it Really Mean "Work on Your Business?"
How often have you heard people say "Work on your business, not just in your business?" Do you know what this means, why it's important, and are you doing it? If you're like most people, there's a good chance you are working on your business. But perhaps you are like I was, having only a general, but vague, understanding about what it means. I've heard people talk about it so much lately that I decided to pull out my copy of The E Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber and review the chapter on this topic. I'm glad I did. Reading it 2 years later I see things a lot differently.

Why Small Business Fail
Michael Gerber, author of the mega-best sellers "The E-Myth" and "The E-Myth Revisited," is one of the people I admire and respect and who has had a significant impact on me and my businesses. Although I have listened many times to Gerber's audio tape about the E-Myth, I always come away learning more. In addition, I have read a booklet by Michael Gerber entitled: "Why Most Small Businesses Fail and What You Can Do About It."

Positioning Your Franchisees for Success
According to Michael Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited, one million small businesses are started every year. Statistically, 40% of them will fail within the 1st year, escalating to an 80% fail rate within the first five years. Of those fortunate enough to have survived up to that point, 80% additional business will be closing their doors over the duration of the next five years.

Do You Have A Vision For Your Business?
“A business without a vision is directionless. It lacks purpose” writes Michael Gerber in his latest book E-Myth Mastery. You cannot plan the future of your business if you don’t have a vision. It is the starting point of any business growth plan.
Escaping the Entrepreneurial Seizure: Interview with Michael Gerber
Michael Gerber’s name should sound familiar. I recommend his bestseller, The E-Myth Revisited, as the must-read classic on automation. It brief, it discusses how to create scalable businesses that are based on rules and not outstanding employees; and how to become an owner instead of constant micromanager. Michael also had a enormous influence on me as a first-time writer. His words to me were simple during our first lunch:

Delegation, the Key to Small Business Growth
In his bestselling book, "The E-Myth Revisited," Michael Gerber suggests that you prepare an organizational chart for your business right from the get-go, complete with descriptions for each job you currently perform. This may seem unnecessary (after all, you know what you have to do!) but it will help you prepare for the time when you need to start delegating to employees or outside services. Having formal job descriptions in place will not only allow you to identify the work you can delegate as your business grows, but make the transition less disruptive and stressful.
Driving With The Handbrake On! The Texas Smoothie.
Entrepreneurs get trapped - one of those traps is what Michael Gerber calls "Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it!" where the tyranny of the urgent prevents us from doing the big-picture things that made us entreprpeneurs in the first place. Jerry from Texas found a unique and idiosyncratic path out of that trap.
Controlling Chaos During Expansion
Chaos, confusion and catastrophe are what Michael Gerber of Entrepreneur Magazine calls “The Three C’s of Business Failure.” It is not uncommon for a small business to be plagued with chaos. The best advice is to take control before chaos becomes habit. “Most small businesses are a hopeless mess,” Gerber says. Disorganization and confusion are irritating, but worst of all, they cost your business money. Chaos eats away at productivity and, ultimately, profits. How can you steer your business clear of chaos?
The Genius At Work
Ever wonder why 80% of businesses fail in the first five years? Many people would say it is because they are undercapitalized. Michael Gerber, the genius behind the best-selling “E-Myth” would argue otherwise. According to Michael all small businesses are failures and it is due to one, and only one thing.
