In this episode… Whether you’ve always dreamed of owning a business or stumbled into entrepreneurship, the path to success requires commitment. While many novice business owners have innovative ideas, they lack execution. Without a plan, entrepreneurs ignore setting goals, asking for help, and possibly lose focus. What follows is a state of overwhelm and a risk of failure.  Michael E. Gerber, guru and business thought leader, was a business owner for 10 years before he developed a system to operate a business effectively. Since then, he’s written The E-Myth, a foundational book many entrepreneurs consider the bible for success. In The E-Myth, Michael articulates why 80% of businesses fail and an eightfold path — including a dream, a vision, a purpose, and a mission — that leads to business growth.  In this special episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, Josh Hadley interviews Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited and Co-founder and Chairman of Michael E. Gerber Companies, to discuss why The E-Myth is considered the foundational book for many business owners. Michael conveys the message behind the best-selling book, explains the eightfold path and the dreaming room, and offers advice for business owners.
