Talk:Michael Gerber (non-fiction writer)

This article is VERY incomplete ...
This article is basically a list of some of the books he published.

It has less information about his life and career than we can read in most of his books or on his website.

Plus, the e-myth page redirects here. The e-myth page should have substantial review and analysis of the e-myth principles, like the "turnkey operation" and the difference between technician, manager, and entrepreneur. This has nothing to say whatsoever about the content of his work.

This is a major oversight since the e-myth was in fact a major contribution and deserves coverage on its merits - both of his positive contributions, and their critical reception.

I don't think anyone is rating this page yet, but personally I'd give this article around 2 out of 10 on the basis of massive incompleteness.

Some articles you / people could look to before updating the Wikipedia article:


 * https://www.emyth.com/about-us (describes the history of the e-myth, from the author's perspective) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lauchlanmack (talk • contribs) 04:57, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

 * https://sivers.org/book/EMythRevisited
 * https://hyperweb.com.au/e-myth-framework-business-website-marketing/
 * https://rosenbergassoc.com/e-myth-revisited-work-on-your-business-not-in-it/

What it should cover off:


 * What the "e-myth" is - the "entrepreneur myth" that you can succeed as a business owner just by being good as a "technician" - just delivering your service or product (e.g. consultant, designer, etc)
 * The principle of "work on your business, not in your business"
 * The differences between technician, manager, and entrepreneur
 * The different stages of business
 * the 7 steps of the e-myth process (listed below)

The 7 steps are:


 * 1) Primary Aim
 * 2) Strategic Objective
 * 3) Organisation Strategy
 * 4) Management Strategy
 * 5) People Strategy
 * 6) Marketing Strategy
 * 7) Systems Strategy

it should also cover off something along the lines of how many copies of the e-myth and e-myth revisited books were sold, how Gerber's business did, and any praise and criticism of Gerber's ideas.
