    Editorial reviews

    The intensity of Michael Gerber's smooth baritone is a perfect match for this powerful lesson on the inner game of starting a business. Urgent and confident, Gerber's performance makes this production hard to put aside. His insights on the entrepreneurial mind describe how explosive creative energy and a moment of clarity are essential for any truly new business idea to appear. And once it does, he shows how the four roles of an entrepreneur - dreamer, thinker, storyteller, and leader - can advance that idea and earn the enthusiasm of employees and customers. In Gerber's hands, the feeling, thinking, and action components of entrepreneurial success have an energizing clarity that will awaken even complacent dreamers who fear there's nothing left in the tank.

    I’m awake!

    I absolutely needed to read this book, to listen to this book, and to get my pen and paper, and write what came from this book. Michael Gerber is brilliant.

    Hits the Nail on Entrepreneur Passion

    This is an audible that's worth listening to if you need to find the passion or desire to start a business. So far, I have not found any other books that dealt with the how to get that passion to start a business - most only talk on the author's experiences, the must or musn't do, and the process of starting a business. The "Inspiration" audible by Dr. Wayne Dyer was good, but not specific enough to help you find the passion to start a business. One thing that I thought I should help clear up was the topic on the "Dreaming Room". Don't see it as an informacial, and I doubt it is actually a real business anyway, but see it as Geber showing us how to start a business based on your passion. For a darker but funny audible for starting (or more specifically owning) a business, I'd recommend "How to Get Rich" by Felix Dennis.

    A true master of business development

    Michael E Gerber is a true inventor of business that works. He shared authentically of what needs to be done and how to do it. The question I have for myself is “what will it takes for me to apply it earnestly without fail” to build my enterprise?

    What a fantastic journey!

    This is for the serious listener only. All the intellectual reasonings behind the E-Myth and Michael Gerber. You will see all from a new perspective. A delight.

    Not what I expected

    No practical advice or tips here. This book was an infomercial for Michael's venture, "The Dreaming Room." Don't get me wrong, I love the E-Myth. This just wasn't what I was looking for.

    Overall a good book

    Overall the book was good but I felt there was a little bit too much promotion of one of his businesses "who is Manny Espinosa".

    Classic Gerber

    You will need an open mind for this book. You either get it or you don't. But Michael Gerber although a little different knows what he is talking about and if your like any of his other books you will like this.
