Reviews and Praise for MICHAEL E. GERBER

Jack Canfield, Founder and CEO, Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises, Inc.

“I’ve read countless books on businesses. No business authors touched me as deeply as Michael Gerber has. The E-Myth is exquisite. It combines the spiritual with pragmatic, the functional with the emotional, and the passion with the perspective as few ideas have. My advice to anyone who is determined to build a world class company is to read this book. You’ll be amazed!

Clate Mask, President and CEO, Infusion Software

Michael’s understanding of entrepreneurship and small business management has been a difference maker for countless businesses, including Infusion Software. His insights into the entrepreneurial process of building a business are a must read for every small business owner. The vision, clarity, and leadership that came out of our Dreaming Room experience were just what our company needed to recognize our potential and motivate the whole company to achieve it. http://www.infusionsoft.com/.

Raymond Yeh, co-author, The Art of Business

In the Footsteps of Giants Michael Gerber is among the very few who truly understand entrepreneurship and small business. While others talk about these topics in the form of theories, methodologies, processes, and so on, Michael goes to the heart of the issues. Whenever Michael writes about entrepreneurship, soak it in as it is not only good for your business, but great for your soul.

Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder and Chairman of BNI, and author of Masters of Sales

Michael Gerber’s strategies in The E-Myth were instrumental in building my company from two employees to a global organization; I can’t wait to see how applying the strategies from Awakening the Entrepreneur Within will affect its growth!

Peter Leeds, Penny Stock Professional

Michael Gerber is unlike anyone you know, and his biting honesty and tremendous passion enables him to transform your life. Awakening the Entrepreneur Within is a triumph, the absolute pinnacle of entrepreneurial empowerment! It should have been impossible for a book to accomplish what Awakening did for me, but Michael Gerber found a way. PeterLeeds.com.

John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing

Everyone needs a mentor, someone who tells it like it is, holds you accountable, and shows you your good, bad, and ugly. For millions of small business owners Michael Gerber is that person. Let Michael be your mentor and you are in for a kick in the pants, the ride of a lifetime.

Timothy Ferriss, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4 Hour Work Week

Michael Gerber’s E-Myth is one of only four books I recommend as required reading. For those looking to start and build a business of their own, this is the man who has coached more successful entrepreneurs than the next ten gurus combined.

Michael Port, author of Book Yourself Solid and Beyond

Booked Solid

Only read this book if you want to do big things in the world. By the time you finish the first chapter you won’t have a choice anymore. Michael Gerber and this book hold the keys to making your dreams come true.

Michael J. Russer, author of The Obsolete Employee: How Businesses Succeed Without Employees And Love It!

Michael Gerber’s E-Myth books redefined what true business and entrepreneurship is all about, freeing business owners everywhere from the prison of their own making. Now, in his new book, he has taken the next bold step of showing people how to tap into their true sense of purpose and live it through enlightened entrepreneurship, resulting in a much better world for all. Awakening the Entrepreneur Within could easily become one of the most important business and sociological books of our time.

Mitch Meyerson, author of Mastering Online Marketing and

founder of Guerrilla Marketing Coaching

Since the groundbreaking E-Myth series, the business world has been waiting for the next paradigm-shattering offering from business legend Michael Gerber. Now finally it is here, and it is called Awakening the Entrepreneur Within. Based on his remarkable Dreaming Room programs, this book will show you exactly how to awaken and reenergize the entrepreneur within you. When Michael Gerber talks every business person should listen. Get this book!

Steve Gottry, author of Common Sense Business and co author (with Ken Blanchard) of The On Time, On Target Manager

My shelves are crammed with thirty years of accumulated business books-all of them telling me how to do this-or-that, more, better, or differently. I’m going to put most of them in a yard sale so that Awakening the Entrepreneur Within can have its rightful place of prominence. If you want to create an extraordinary business or are wondering where to start, Awakening the Entrepreneur Within is the road map you’ve been seeking.

Michael Gerber’s gift to isolate the issues and present simple, direct, business changing solutions shines bright with Awakening the Entrepreneur Within. If you’re interested in developing an entrepreneurial vision and plan that inspires others to action, buy this book, read it, and apply the processes Gerber brilliantly defines.

Chris Owen, marketing director, Royal Armories (International) plc

Michael Gerber truly understands what it takes to be a successful practicing entrepreneur and business owner. He has demonstrated to me over six years of working with him that for those who stay the course and learn much more than just “how to work on their business and not in it” then they will reap rich rewards. I finally franchised my business and the key to unlocking this kind of potential in any business idea is in the teachings of Michael’s work.

Bill and Colleen Hensley, founders of Hensley Properties, Inc., authors of the upcoming book, The Pilot Learning Leadership

My wife, Colleen, and I spent twenty-five years flying in the United States Air Force and with commercial airlines. When we changed our career focus and decided to open our own business, we read dozens of books and attended countless seminars. Nothing came close to the quality and precision of the environment that we had lived in for all those years-until we read Michael Gerber’s books. His insightful writings finally gave us the flight plan that we had been missing. We carry copies of his books in our car and share them with other entrepreneurs, because we know that their lives and businesses can be changed in a profound way by the wisdom of Michael Gerber. http://www.hensleyproperties.com/.

Lisa Salt, The Salt Team, Re/Max Vernon

Michael Gerber leads you on a journey to discover your greatest desire and helps you gather the confidence to pursue those dreams. All you need is the courage to stay the course.

If you’re looking for inspiration, information, or simply real world methods to take your entrepreneurial business to the next level, then your search is over! Michael Gerber will help you realize your dreams, steer you past the obstacles, and guide you to achievement. Why would I say this? Simple! That’s what he’s done (and still does) for me.

Robert and Susan Clements, principals, E-Myth Iowa

Rarely-maybe once in a lifetime-is there a message that transforms us, that inspires us to create the vision that describes the grandest version of ourselves, and then act upon it. Several years ago, we heard such a message, Michael Gerber’s message. Since then, our journey with Michael has truly awakened the entrepreneur within us! We can’t wait to take our lives and the lives of our clients to the next level through this book!

Howard Partridge, Phenomenal Products, Inc.

Because of Michael Gerber, I transformed my twenty-four-hour-a day, seven-day-a-week job (also called a small business) into a multimillion turnkey business. This in turn set the foundation for my worldwide training firm. I am living my dream because of Michael Gerber.

Pauline O’Malley, CEO, The Revenue Builder

Michael Gerber is a genius. Every successful business person I meet has read Michael Gerber, refers to Michael Gerber and lives by his words. You just can’t get enough of Michael Gerber. He has the innate (and rare) ability to tap into one’s soul, look deeply, and tell you what you need to hear. And then, he inspires you, equips you with the tools to get it done.

Rabbi Levi Cunin, Chabad of Malibu

Michael Gerber is a truly remarkable man. His steady openness of mind and ability to get to the deeper level continues to be an inspiration and encouragement to me. He seems to always ask that one question that forces the new perspective to break open and he approaches the new coming method in a fearless way.

The Dreaming Room experience was literally life changing for us. Within months, we were able to start our Foundation and make several television appearances owing to his teachings. He has an incredible charisma which is priceless, but above all Michael Gerber awakens passion from within enabling you to take action with dramatic results . . . starting today!

Helmi Natto, president, Eye 2 Eye Optics, Saudi Arabia

I thought E-Myth was an awkward name! What could this book do for me? But when I finally got to reading it . . . it was what I was looking for all along. Then, to top it off, I took a twenty-seven-hour trip to San Diego just to attend the Dreaming Room, where Michael touched my heart, my mind, and my soul.

Dr. Don Kennedy, MBA, author, 5AM & Already Behind

I attended In the Dreaming Room and was challenged by Michael Gerber to “Go out and do what’s impossible.” So I did: I became an author and international speaker and used Michael’s principles to create a world-class company that will change and save lives all over the world. www.bahbits.com .

Mike Doughty, managing director, The Knowledge Gym

In Awakening the Entrepreneur Within, Michael Gerber answers the question, “What’s beyond the E-Myth?” Once again his insights are so obvious they stare us in the face every day, and it’s pure genius!

Elizabeth Allen, Principal, Marketsmartz, Inc.

Michael Gerber’s E-Myth changed and radically challenged everything I thought I knew about business. In further pursuing his life’s mission of entrepreneurial innovation, Michael has now extended the lessons conveyed in the E-Myth to address a new and poignant observation about entrepreneurs and the companies that they envision a process known as Intentional Dreaming. In response to the desperate burn-out, confusion, and pain he has witnessed in the thousands of business leaders he’s worked with, Michael has in a singular stroke provided us with a process that we can engage with to define and refine our dream. www.CODEconstruct.com or eallen@marketsmartz.com.

Jim Aamodt, president and CEO, JDA Enterprises

Michael Gerber takes us along a journey to the dreams which create businesses that change the world! Read if, and only if, you wish to create a dream and a meaningful business that serves you with the intention of changing the world.

Lloyd Minthorne, owner, Synoptic Sounds

Michael has never ceased to amaze me! He is by far the most brilliant speaker, author, and business consultant I’ve ever met. His many years of business experience, combined with a strong intuitive nature, and truly loving intentions, combine to make a very thought provoking, and emotionally moving message that is sure to revolutionize our world.

Kathy Sacks, founder, Sacks Public Relations

By enabling you to look closely at your business and focus on the things that matter, Gerber reminds us that life is about pursuing meaning in everything you do, personally and professionally. You will be forever changed.

David Cohen, chief executive maestro, Writers of the Round Table, Inc.

Michael Gerber and his In the Dreaming Room concept has honestly revolutionized the way I see entrepreneurial business. Michael will leave you energized, inspired, and prepared to make waves.

Pat Doorn, president, Mountain View Electric Ltd.

I went to the Dreaming Room to have Michael Gerber fix my business. He talked about Dreaming. What was this Dreaming? I was too busy working! Too busy being miserable, angry, frustrated, behind in what I was trying to accomplish. And losing everything I was working for. Then Michael Gerber woke up the dreamer in me and remade my life and my business.

Betsi Bixby, president, Meridian Associates, Inc.

Michael Gerber is brilliant. Whether you are just starting a business, or have been in business for years, Michael has the ability to free up your thinking, explode your self-imposed limitations, and then provide a razor-sharp reality check and true clarity. Michael is a true blessing to the entrepreneur in all of us!

Bob Walker, co-founder

I take Michael’s vision of the purpose-driven entrepreneur very seriously. The journey is just beginning and I am now focused on becoming a strong entrepreneur and creating extraordinary companies. Michael Gerber helps people understand who they are currently, and who they can become if only they dream. The results are amazing.

Ed Herbert, chairman and CEO, Real Estate Only

The E-Myth Revisited literally changed my life by reinventing my business. Now, attending In the Dreaming Room has taken me full circle by clarifying and articulating my Dream, Vision, Purpose, and Mission for my business with amazing precision and energy!

Francine Hardaway, CEO, Stealthmode Partners and founder of the Arizona Marketing Coaching

Michael Gerber can captivate a room full of entrepreneurs and take them to a place where they can focus on the essentials that are the underpinning of every successful business. He gently leads them from where they are to where they need to be in order to change the world.
