Biography of Michael Gerber

He called it The E-Myth Revolution, and over the past two decades, he has indelibly touched hundreds of thousands of small business owners throughout the world with his brilliantly insightful, original E-Myth message.

Michael Gerber's E-Myth Point of View embodies his commitment to personal growth and the realization that a business owner's purpose in life can be actualized through his or her business. Michael Gerber's efforts, his message--his very life's work has been to empower business owners to gain more freedom, more money, more time, and more life.

Documented in his mega-best seller The E-Myth: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It, Michael Gerber's E-Myth Point of View provides those typically enslaved by a business with a way out of what he calls "the tyranny of routine." Dragging down the owner's entrepreneurial spirit, this tyranny is the dull, repetitive work Michael Gerber refers to as doing-it, doing-it, doing-it. The E-Myth powerfully describes how to rise above that tyranny of routine to build a flourishing, exciting, innovative business.

But The E-Myth is much more than just a book! After intensive research and hundreds of thousands of hours testing essential business development principles, practices and systems, Michael Gerber successfully created a programmatic method that works for anyone determined to improve the condition of his or her business. As a result, The E-Myth is now a process, a system, a model which can be implemented in any small business--and when implemented--will provide freedom and joy for the owners, employees and staff.

Michael Gerber has taken his methodology and message on the road, addressing business audiences throughout North America, the Pacific Rim, Europe and beyond about how to start their own personal revolution. Since the 1970s, he has served as keynote speaker, telling his compelling story to a variety of corporations, organizations, professional associations, franchises and independent business owners.
