The e-myth Contractor Book
Despite the single letter at the heart of its hyphenated title, The E-Myth Contractor isn't another book about e-commerce. Instead, like previous entries in Michael E. Gerber's popular series, it focuses on a different e-word--entrepreneur--and the fact that most of us who go into business for ourselves are doomed to fail because we really don't understand business. This time, Gerber lays out the basics for starry-eyed newly self-employed contractors who know everything about their trade but precious little about being a boss. "I don't try to tell you how to do the work you do," he writes at the outset. "Rather, I share with you some profound insights into how great businesspeople think." In his easy-to-understand manner, Gerber explains the concept of Strategic Thinking and how it "will enable you to create a business that works apart from you instead of because of you." He addresses key topics like money, people, management and growth with an eye toward making related functions run seamlessly and effectively as we build our independent enterprises into true companies that have inherent value whether we stay involved or ultimately hand them off to eager buyers. Taken to heart, it could save more than a few worthy ventures as well as the people behind them. --Howard RothmanRead More

Product Description
Michael E. Gerber is a truly revolutionary business thinker. His unique E-Myth insights have helped transform hundreds of thousands of small businesses around the world.
According to Gerber, The E-Myth is the myth of the entrepreneur. Most businesses fail to fulfill their potential because business owners are not entrepreneurs (as most people think them to be) but technicians suffering from an entrepreneurial seizure. After all, says Gerber, most Contractors start out as technicians -- electricians, plumbers, landscapers, et al. As a result, most Contractors don't own a true business, but a job -- the all-consuming daily routine Gerber refers to as doing it, doing it, doing it. Sound familiar? With The E-Myth Contractor, Michael Gerber focuses on the business of Contracting rather than the work of it. He reveals a radical mind-set that will free Contractors from the tyranny of the unprofitable, unproductive, perpetual routine -- estimating, hiring, firing, going to the bank, digging a trench, running the Job, doing everything that needs to get done. Drawing on thirty years of experience working with small-business owners, including many Contractors, Gerber provides revolutionary, practical, and enlightening insights on how to produce the best real-world results on the Job, in the field, in a Contractor's life. The E-Myth Contractor explores crucial topics such as planning, money, personnel management, sub-contractors, and customers. It teaches you how to- implement the ingenious turn key system, a means of creating a Franchise Prototype that embodies your unique set of talents and that produces consistent, predictable results each and every time without your having to do everything yourself
- recognize, understand, and manage the four factors of money -- income, profit, flow, and equity
- nurture the power of change to transform your company and your people while enabling the firm to grow exponentially without your having to be there all the time
