You think it's simple don't you? - Click To Read Article
Well, creating an entrepreneurial business isn\'t simple at all. Nor can you buy one.

When a book is finished
- Click To Read Article
It takes a long time to finish a book. Even after it’s done it isn’t finished. It lingers in you for a long, long time. Even then, after you think it’s gone, it isn’t.

Throwing Caution to the Winds
- Click To Read Article
I am often asked whether entrepreneurship comes easy to me. The answer is yes and no.

There are so many opportunities how can one choose?
- Click To Read Article
Every time I lead a Dreaming Room® this question comes up. It’s usually asked by someone who has difficulty making up his or her mind. Who is so overwhelmed by the flood of thoughts that run through the mind as to be completely incapacitated by the sheer weight of them? At least that’s how it feels when you’re inside that person, as we all are from time to time. I call it the Reluctant Entrepreneur. I talk about that syndrome a lot in my latest book, E-Myth Mastery: The Seven Essential Disciplines for Building a World Class Business.

There Are Miles and Miles left for you and I to go.

I just received an extraordinary letter from a young lady named Allison. She touched my heart. It’s one thing to receive a fan letter; it’s another to receive a letter that shares the author’s heart. This, Allison did, with such verve and vision it stopped me in my tracks.

There aren’t any more where that came from

Well, it has been quite some time. I apologize for my absence. The thing is I’ve been working on my book, Awakening the Entrepreneur Within and I just, last night, wrote the last two words of it… The End!

The Confused Entrepreneur: Lost On the Way to Nowhere
- Click To Read Article
So many business people I have met over the years were lost on their way to nowhere, unclear about where they were going, consumed by the business of their endless days, wishing business could be easier, that people would be more responsible, that something, anything, would change for the better, that work didn’t have to be so hard, so boring, so tedious, so…well, you get my point.

The Entrepreneur As Systems Thinker: Getting Down to Basics
- Click To Read Article
In my last article, I discussed the unique quality that makes world class entrepreneurs different than simply owners of businesses. I said that true entrepreneurs are Systems Thinkers. I then went on to define that peculiar quality of systems thinking that true entrepreneurs are blessed with. (If you have not read that article, please do so. It will provide you with a platform of understanding to better relate to this article: Getting Down to Basics of Systems Thinking.)

The Entrepreneur As Dreamer
- Click To Read Article
I have written so many words on this subject, but it never seems enough. How to describe in a way that you can feel it, what it means to dream an enterprise into existence?

The Art of Passion
- Click To Read Article
I was moved to write another manifesto on the nature of Dreaming in relationship with Passion.

The Exhilaration of Intention
- Click To Read Article
I just had an amazing realization during a keynote address I gave to the Chabad of California annual rabbis’ conference.

Steam is coming out my ears, and it will be coming out of yours too!
- Click To Read Article
I just began to read another book just sent to me by a young man by the name of Corey Kossack.

Sorry to have been away so long
- Click To Read Article
Yes, I do apologize. To be frank (right now I wish I was anyone but me, yes, even Frank) I have been on the mend. The last tour just about wiped me out and then this nasty speaker’s curse, the curse of the throat, plagued me for weeks. Harsh, cough, gravel, hurt. All of that and more. Which of course affected the rest of me…will I ever be able to speak again? Oh, my goodness, is this it? Am I on my way out? Weak, weak, weak. You get my point.

Opening Your Mind Like a Blank Piece of Paper
- Click To Read Article
I’ve been having a conversation with my editor about my next book. It’s a difficult thing to do, especially when you’ve just finished writing one, as I just did, and are frankly tired of listening to your own voice, and struggling to get the book done, and being so uncertain about whether what you intended to create is what you are actually creating, and working toward the deadline, and missing it, and then working toward the new deadline, and missing that one too, and then, knowing, deep down, that the next deadline is the last deadline and it looks like a mountain you could never climb.

On the Cutting Edge of Time - Part 1
- Click To Read Article
Where would we be without Time? And where would Time be without us?

On the Cutting Edge of Time - Part 2
- Click To Read Article
I submitted the above to the editor and he sent it back to me telling me that I needed to write at least 250 more words. They were in a jam, they couldn’t fill the rest of the space. 250 more words. Where was I to find them?

On the Subject of Marketing Integrity
- Click To Read Article
I’m delighted to share with you news of the impending publication of my good friend John Jantsch’s superb book, Duct Tape Marketing, for which I have contributed the foreword.

Okay, I agree, it’s time to take to the road again!
- Click To Read Article
I admit it, I have been lost in space. I have been under the weather, dialing for the invidious dollar, hiding in the cloak of my own fearful imagination, waiting for the other shoe to drop, worrying about phantoms, ghosts, shadows sliding across the wall, ex-wives, a couple of my five children who stopped speaking to me, preparing myself every morning to sit down and write, my new book for one thing, even took to reading my old books just to see whether or not I have actually written anything I could claim my stake on, believe me.

Organizing For Growth
- Click To Read Article
It has been a long time since I read the most extraordinary business book I have ever read, Organizing For Growth by Theodore Levitt.

Living On The Top of The Mountain
- Click To Read Article
I just came back from speaking to a large audience of insurance agents. Of course, the subject was as it always is, The E-Myth. I don’t have any interest in talking about anything other than that. It’s what I do. It’s who I am. It’s what has transformed my life not only once, but many times since I started on this odyssey of mine in 1977 with the founding of E-Myth Worldwide.

I’m back and feeling better!

When the Supreme Technician (that’s me) wanders around the world, speaking, shouting, screaming and whispering the mantra of extreme entrepreneurship and the Age of The Entrepreneur, exhorting everyone in sight to wake up and to see the roses (before smelling them), life takes its toll, oh yes it does, and my voice goes with it, grinding down to dust, to squeals, to scratchy itchings, and with it goes my imagination which says, oh, no, will I ever be able to speak again?

I’m in the Houston airport…
- Click To Read Article
…wondering how my confirmed ticket to Dallas was cancelled, leaving me stranded for three hours with nothing to do other than what I usually do when I find myself in this unfortunate situation with absolutely no control over getting what I really want, which is to be on the plane I was originally booked on, filling the three hours with stuff I should have done in the time I had personally allotted for it, but didn’t do.

“I haven’t a dream, wouldn’t know where to get one, and my mind is as vacant as an empty cupboard!”

Just finished my 15th Dreaming Room, and if I must say so (and I must), I was faced with the most difficult group of people I have ever faced.

I can’t help but wonder if I were born in any other time…

…how different my life would be today. If you were to ask the very same question, I am sure you would discover some remarkably interesting answers.

Have you read Banker to the Poor?

If not, it was written by Muhammad Yunus, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for founding Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.

Entrepreneur Things
- Click To Read Article
Entrepreneurs ( I need to share this with you) do the most ridiculous things. (I’m not going to name any of those things here because I don’t want to hurt the feelings of the dumb entrepreneurs who thought them up) But, I’m sure you know what I mean. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself the question from time to time, “What in the world was he thinking?” Well, that’s the subject of this morning’s blog. (It’s morning where I am, and I woke up with the thought that I needed to get this out of my system, off my chest, out of my mind, so here goes.)

Chaos, Confusion & Catastrophe: The Three C’s of Small Business
- Click To Read Article
I just have to get this out of my system. I have had so many negative experiences n the past few weeks with “service companies” who simply have no idea -- none, zilch, completely vacuously zero – of what service is, that I simpl could not restrain myself from writing about it and sharing it with you, given how committed you are to fulfilling the vision of entrepreneurship.

Caution to the winds?
- Click To Read Article
Yes, let’s throw caution to the winds and throw out our old habits with it. I just listened for the first time to my introduction to the Vancouver Dreaming Room recently past, and was I surprised!

Awakening The Entrepreneur Within You
- Click To Read Article
There is a commonly held belief that one becomes an entrepreneur by going into business, or going out on one’s own. I don’t subscribe to that belief.

BANG BANG YOU’RE DEAD!
- Click To Read Article
Oooh my that hurts. The shock of suddenly being told that your business isn’t making any money.

A Letter To The One Who Wants to Know
- Click To Read Article
Dear Voyager, Dear Dreamer, Dear Friend… The reason you are reading this letter right now is because you have expressed an interest. An interest in business, an interest in more life. You are interested in improving your business, or creating a new business. You are interested, most of all, in improving your life.

A business without a dream is like a life without a purpose
- Click To Read Article
I launched my present company, E-Myth Worldwide, in 1977 to transform the way small business owners do the work of growing their companies. Since then we have coached, trained and taught over 50,000 small business owners in more than 145 countries on how to transform their business to produce consistently better results. What we learned from those 50,000-plus owners could fill a dozen books.

A Sudden Inspiration
- Click To Read Article
It continually amazes me how things come my way, from the outside and from the inside, as the following poem did directly after saving my story about Mr. Perlman. I had written this poem in 2003 as a tentative introduction to my new book. I can’t think of any time more fitting than to send it to you all now. Consider it a love poem to you all, and to all the Dreamers everywhere.
