Nice Guide for Beginners.......2007-06-16
The author writes a nice overview of the entrepreneurial process. It's basically for novices but it does a good job for this audience. The only problem I have with this book is that it is too basic and is therefore non-unique because it is so low-level. Regardless, I must say that for the right audience, it does a fine job over giving the big picture.
If you are advanced or aspire to become advanced, I would recommend "The Startup Company Bible for Entrepreneurs" but only for high-tech entrepreneurs. Even this author has recommended it.
A Must-Have for Entrepreneurs.......2007-05-14
Steven gives great illustrations to drive home his insightful advice for entrepreneurs. As he's "been there, done that," we can take his advice to heart in the hopes of becoming a success like him!
Exellent Book.......2007-05-11
Great book for getting ready to open a new business. Would refer to anyone thinking about opening a business.
Brief and to the point.......2007-04-27
This is a delightful little book that contains a wealth of useful and helpful information and ideas on starting a small business and ensuring that it is viable and succesful. The book is well written and easy to follow and interesting to read.
This is a must read for entrepreneurs, particularly budding ones as the information the book provides is very practical and can help you avoid making costly errors. The book covers a wide range of topics including the start-up process, marketing the business on a small budget, cash-flow forecasting, among other things.
The book is an excellent companion for the entrepreneur that is well worth having.
Invaluable advice for the budding entrepreneur.......2007-03-04
This book does a terrific job of presenting some of the most important issues entrepreneurs face when embarking on new ventures, touching on topics such as the business plan, funding, team building, and cash flows. Using simple, yet stunningly accurate models of the entrepreneurial process, Steven Gold distills complex subjects into simple, practical, take-away messages. The classification of entrepreneurial personalities (professionals, pragmatists, and inventors) is something I think we can all relate to. I find the metaphor which compares building a new company to making "stone soup" equally compelling. There are countless books out there for budding entrepreneurs, but this one is no fluff. It gets right down to the nuts and bolts so you can concentrate on your business.

One of the best RE books I've read in awhile!.......2007-10-10
I gained so much from reading (and re-reading sections) of the book, I bought copies for all my RE partners. I read A LOT of real estate books and was very impressed with the ideas and the presentation. A must for newbies to help you get the concepts down and experienced people to reflect and review and learn some new things.
the most honest book I have read so far on the subject.......2007-08-28
These guys have a great and entertaining way of writing about real estate. They are also honest, there's none of this "make a million overnight with real estate" garbage. Instead they lay out the foundations for changing your mindset, which a lot of books dont even mention. How are you going to win at the real estate game if you have the wrong mental attitude and work ethic going in? After they change your attude, they lay the foundation for getting started in real estate, and telling you realistically that there will be ups and downs, but over the long haul, like a 15 year or more period, you will make substantial wealth with real estate. Loved the tone of the book as well, funny and frank with their information. They have a home study course, which I'm sure goes into more detail than this book does, and I'm going to order it. But this book is a great place to start.
They got it right!.......2007-06-03
I have longed for a book to give me real estate book that provides me the meat I am looking for without all the gimmic "surprises" and "secrets." Absolutely a wonderful book. You really are "THE Real Estate Guys" I will continue to buy books from you. Equity Happens: Building Lifelong Wealth with Real Estate
Best Kept Secret!.......2007-05-07
This book is awesome! I highly suggest it for the novice and the experienced investor! Buy it for your friends too!

First class education on real estate investment !!.......2007-05-05
This book is unusual in that it is not just focused on teaching you formulaes, methodologies & tactics. Rather, it tries to educate the reader on concepts, strategies & philosophies. I encourage every budding real estate investor to read this book before buying their first property. For some of the experienced investors, this book will be a paradigm breaking experience. The book answers in great detail the below questions:
1. Why does the price of real estate go up?
2. What sustainable drivers should one look for in a real estate market?
3. For budding investors, Why equity investing is more powerful than cashflow investing?
4. Why having a real estate investment philosophy is important?
5. What stops people from buying their first investment property?
6. What is equity optimization and how can it make you super wealthy?
7. What is the difference between an "Investor mentality" and "Consumer mentality" and how it can influence your decisions?
No one book gives you all the information you need. But, in my opinion , this book teaches you vital and fundamental concepts on real estate investing that no other real estate book addresses. Great job Robert & Russ!

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 Rothman
Book 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
Anecdotal and always profound, The E-Myth Contractor also provides insights on a broader level. It leads Contractors to become business visionaries by relinquishing tactical work and embracing strategic work -- working on their businesses instead of just in them. Gerber's revolutionary ideas empower Contractors to build successful businesses and successful lives.

Grade School Lessons & E-Myth Acadamy Advertisement .......2007-10-04
This is, at best the beginning part of a working business solution. Yes, Gerber makes a valid point about the E-myth concept (read other reviews if you don't know the concept) but it's really for beginners (newbs). All his books are really just advertisements,for his E-Myth Academy consulting business in the back of all his books. There is nearly no practical information. He makes his point about the E-Myth, then masterbates it endlesly, re-making that point six ways to Sunday, add nausium and leaves you wondering, well, but what should I do? Well, little lost lamb (newb), go to E-Myth web site or call the 800 number where they have a fast talking sales crew and sign up for 2 years of 700 plus a month (I haven't checked lately) consultation/classes.
After you get the point that to make your technical skill pay/function as a business you need to have business skills/know how. You can sign up for the 700 plus per month for 2 years advertised in the back of his books. Start looking elsewhere for actual practical information. Because there are no E-myth books or tapes that have that information. You can do a lot for your business with that kind of money. I'm always shocked at how newbs starting businesses throw money around. Something to buy and a place to buy it, no matter how pretty it all is, doesn't make a successful business, In my observations, it's the major reason new businesses fail. I'm sure some of you with deep pockets or You corperate types who have never had to find the guts or earn the money to build a small business without Sugar Daddy Warbucks help will think I'm wrong. This E-Myth stuff is valid but it it's grade school lessons made to look like some kind of super-profound truth/solution. Well, it is, grade school true, now what Mr. Gerber, where's the solutions, spend, what, nearly 17,000 Sign up for what I thought I was getting when I bought the Books and tapes? What a greedy little tight wad! When are you going to write a book with substance? Hey Newbs! Trust me, yes you need real business skills, there are plenty of great business books out there, take some of that 17,000 and buy some and be careful with the rest you're going to need it.
Excellent small business framework.......2007-07-23
Michael Gerber does a very good job outlining a basic approach to small business development. His approach may give some readers an enlightened perspective on their current small business dilemas. He has an insightful understanding of how typical contractors think and the challenges we all deal with everyday. This book won't solve your problems - you have to do that - but it will give you the basic groundwork needed to change the way you think about your business and how you run it.
Quick read explaining importance of CashFlow for business owners........2007-07-12
This is another in the series of E-myth books. While focused on (building) contractors, it is very applicable for any business owner. It breaks down the different ways to look at money related to business. A quick read, especially if you have read the e-myth Revisited. I usually go purchase a bunch for each new client to get them on the same page of understanding that running your business by the checkbook or float is a recipe for disaster. I recommend reading this after e-myth revisited and before e-myth mastery.
Awesome.......2007-03-14
Absolutley essential book. He shares some great business ideas that you might have otherwise overlooked.
Not worth the time or money.......2007-02-04
This book repeats a few of the strategies presented in "The E-Myth Revisted", trying to point them at the contractor. Unfortunately, except for a couple of good ideas from that book, there is nothing here but fluff and pep talk. At one point, I think you can actually tell where material was cut-and-pasted from the sister book about medical practices, where they accidentally forgot to change "practice" to "contracting business".
If you found some chapters of the "The E-Myth Revisted" to be a bit fluffy for you, you can count on an entire (although short) book of it here. Very dissapointing and not particularly useful.

Shill reviews.......2006-08-31
These reviews appear to be all shill reviews except for maybe one. They're mostly from Florida, probably where the author lives, and they're all within a month or so of each other. Disappointing.
Finally Financial Help.........2005-09-12
This is a real nuts and bolts look at your financial situation. If you have a little or alot, it doesn't matter. It gives you the tools to look at where you are and then gives you real informatin about credit cards and how to use them and car loans and how they work, mortgages and more. I am recommending this one to all my children. If they taught this stuff in high school the world would be a much better place.
Winning the Cash Flow War is a Winner.......2005-02-16
This is a needed topic for every household to address. Fred Rewey captures the issues and solutions for personal financial needs and goals in a very practical and effective way. If someone doesn't have financial plans to win the cash flow war this book will give them the groundwork to get on the road to financial stability and if someone is already disciplined they are probably not practicing everything and can learn some new applications from this book. Everyone is in a cash flow war, this gives people the battle plan to win the war.
This book stands out in a crowed field...........2005-02-08
WOW, what a pleasant surprise! The most common sense book on the subject of personal finance I have ever read! More insight than I expected on the subject. I especially like the section on credit cards debt. Should be required reading in schools.
A User-friendly Tool to Win Your Own Financial War.......2005-02-01
The concept of a battle with your finances is an excellent theme; there are so many of us down in the trenches trying to get through this stuff on a daily basis. And although I am in a better position in my life personally than in my younger years, I still have a ways to go to actually win my own war. But Fred's book gives me hope that I can make that happen.
I love the layout of the book, Fred's great sense of humor, and all the special icons (Allies, Enemies, Action Items) and callouts that point to bits of important information, making the whole book easy to digest as well as super helpful.
I am recommending this book to other family members and friends who I know would benefit from the great "ammo" provided within these pages.

Entertaining and Very Practical Money Advice.......2007-03-09
This CD was my introduction to Dave Ramsey and I am now a huge fan. In less than 3 years we paid off over $80K in debt, our income has gone up and we are working on paying off our mortgage. Simple practical advice - stop borrowing, pay cash, have an emergency fund and pay off your debt. Dave is very motivating.
