As Entrepreneurs and Small Business Owners, we set ourselves up in business, be it with a blog, our list or for others in a traditional bricks and mortar business

And then...

For some reason, the majority of it gets lost in the confusion and muddle, which results from that idea. We all suffer from it

But just recently, as a result of doing some office spring cleaning and my weekend away last weekend, which was great for mental cleanse, I did some thinking, usually my tells me I over think things, possibly, or do I?... : )

Anyway while cleaning out my office bookshelf, I cam across a book my wife brought me a few years ago, its called

The E Myth Revisited

Now I confess when I was first given this book ,I was in a different place and started off reading it, but quickly put it down, I have no idea why

But, this time when I picked it up, I made the decision to read it, partly because of the title, though in truth as I have worked my way through the book, it has absolutely nothing to do with

E Business at all, well not by a large part

It is a book designed for the Small Business Owner, specifically in the USA, but in fact what it explains can be applied to absolutely any business, anywhere, traditional, or bricks and mortar and it contains some very harsh truths and facts, but overrall it is a blueprint for the success your business needs to have

It covers in detail, the Franchise Concept, in which there are 3 maybe 4 companies, worldwide, all of who, use the exact same methods & they are simple methods in their business running day to day, to provide solutions to people & earn money in the meantime

Absolute Shedloads of Money

The E in the title, satnds for Entrepreneur and it explains how we all have this cool idea, that we don't want to work for someone anymore, but we want to work for ourselves. we create our own JOB... Which is where the problems start

Because we/ You, are one person and contained within that ONE person, you have 3 different personalities trying to run your business, all of who are conflicting with one another, and subsequently YOUR business runs into difficulties, through lack of proper planning and an efficient system both for the marketing of & sales of your product

The book which is available through amazon is a compelling read, during which you will find it very hard to put down, because it will provide you with many AHA moments

My wife says its the only non football book, she has seen me read in the same manner that I would read a football book, I stayed glued to it, til I have finished ( though I don't recommend gluing yourself, because it will stick to the pages!!)

I have read it for 14 days straight, and just finished it today... it really is fascinating

I have learned a heck of a lot from it, which has resulted in me, as it will do for you looking at your entire business model and then getting rid of the things you simply don't need

As always when I read these books or do any form of training, I apply it massively, to see if it does in fact work... You know what?

It does.Hugely

I have unsubscribed from around half a dozen newsletters, which I no longer need

A brilliant Marketing System, has been implemented, which is not new, its very established and as per the book, is being followed, to the letter

The results it is giving me, are absolutely incredible, far beyond my wildest dreams and mean that every single day, just by doing one thing, one stupidly simple thing, I have an absolute ton of fresh prospects to speak to about my business.

As you will find when you get the book, your workload will halve, with ease ( well it will if you apply it, but the application, as you will read, just makes logical sense) and you will provide solutions to others, have others asking you for them

All in all, you cant lose and I had to write this blog post review to share it with you

Applied education, is the difference
