In this episode, we unpack key insights from The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber—and the hard truth about what’s really holding most businesses back. The difference between working in your business and working on your business. Most small businesses don’t fail because the owner lacks skill but because the owner never stops being the technician. Technical skills may generate income, but systems build sustainable businesses. This episode will challenge how you think, build, and operate.
