The E-Myth Revisted:
Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It
By: Michael E. Gerber |
| |
|
I’ve read this best-selling book twice and am getting ready to read it again. Plus I’ve shared it with numerous business clients who, without exception, tell me it’s one of the best business books they’ve ever read.
Several have told me that they picked it up as a “just-before-sleep” book, and found themselves still reading at 5:00 am! Not a bad recommendation, considering that we’re not talking about a cliff-hanger novel here, but about a way of envisioning and achieving business success.
Gerber shares down-to-earth concepts and methods that are critical to starting, running, and maintaining a successful business. If that’s your goal, and you want to “have a life” as well, give this book a shot. Over the years this common-sense book has created an army of passionate advocates, and an entire consulting and training industry.
It’s a quick, entertaining, and easy read. Treat yourself to some brain food, so that you can, as they say on e-myth.com/coaching site, “Transform your business AND have a life!” |

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth
By T. Harv Eker |
| |
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others are destined for a life of financial struggle? Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck, or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments?
The startling answer is: none of the above! In his groundbreaking Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states: “Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!”
Eker does this by identifying your “money and success blueprint”. We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. You can know everything about marketing, sales, negotiation, stocks, real estate, and the world of finance, but if your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money- and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it! The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success. |

The 5 Lessons a Millionaire Taught Me About Life and Wealth
By Richard Paul Evans |
| |
|
When Richard Paul Evans was twelve, his father, a building contractor, shattered both his legs. With no insurance, no income, and eight children, the family was destitute. At that difficult time Evans was introduced to a compassionate multimillionaire who taught him the five secrets of wealth. Today, Evans credits those lessons not just with bringing him wealth and success but with providing him freedom and opportunity in a world where financial slavery is rampant.
In his signature motivational voice, Evans inter-weaves those influential lessons with personal stories from everyday people. He explains that money should not be the preoccupation of our lives. Rather, if we follow the five principles, we will be free to focus on God, family, and relationships – the true nourishments of life. |

How to Improve Productivity, Quality, and Employee Satisfaction
By William Byham & Jeff Cox |

This book opens with the following: "Once upon a time, in a magic land called America, there lived a normal guy named Ralph Rosco...".
We are then transported into a fantasy world where we travel between the “12th dimension” and “the real world” as we learn about the magical impacts of “sapping” and “zapping”. This is a relatively short book (224 pp), and is a delightful read – why should business books be dull and drab? Life and business can be fun, so let’s make our enlightenment an enjoyable experience as well!

Believe me, you’ll find ways to apply these ideas not only to your business life, but to your personal interactions as well.
