Send us a textPodcast Introduction — The E-Myth & Why Most Small Businesses Don’t WorkWelcome to the Results Mastery podcast with me, Steve Mills. Today, we’re diving into one of the most important business books ever written — The E-Myth by Michael Gerber. If you’ve ever wondered why so many small businesses struggle, burn out, or simply never reach their true potential, this episode is for you.Gerber famously said that most small businesses don’t work… the people who run them do. And that’s the problem.In this episode, I’m going to unpack why so many business owners find themselves overwhelmed, stuck working in the business instead of on it, and constantly spinning plates just to keep things going. More importantly, I’ll share what you can do about it — practical strategies to break free from the “technician’s trap,” build real systems, and create a business that works profitably and predictably without consuming your life.After over 30 years helping over 10,000 small businesses grow, I can tell you this: the principles in The E-Myth are not just theory. They’re real, they’re proven, and when applied properly, they transform results. My clients have doubled, tripled and, in some cases, completely turned their businesses around simply by implementing what Gerber teaches — combined with disciplined execution and continuous improvement. So settle in, get focused, and let’s explore why your business might not be working as well as it should… and what you can do starting today to change that.If you'd like, I can also create:✅ A shorter intro for social media ✅ An outro with CTAs to your website, podcast, or Results Awareness Meeting ✅ A full episode script or show notes Just tell me what you need!Your Standard Offer & CTAIf you’re a small business owner and you want help applying these principles to your business, book a free meeting with me, Steve Mills.📩 Email: [email protected] 📞 Phone: 0114 303 2952 🔗 Marketing Audit: https://results-mastery.com/results-quiz/ 🎙️ Results Mastery Podcast: https://stevemillssresultsmasterypodcast.buzzsprout.com/ 🌐 Website: https://results-mastery.com/ If you want to know more from me and you want to benefit from nearly 30 years of experience helping thousands of businesses in hundreds of industries all over the world and the time that I've spent learning from the worlds leading masters in the world of sales and marketing, the next step for you is to book a one-to-one meeting with me and you can do so by going to resultsmastery.com thanks very much for listening.Support the showThanks for your interest in my podcast.
