b'In order to be considered for book of the month, the book must meet a very simple criteria.\\nIt has to capable of changing you life, or your perspective on the world. Of course, whether it changes your life is up to you. You can consume the content, remark on how good it is and then continue your life without making any changes. In fact, that\\u2019s what most people do. If that\\u2019s what you do, you\\u2019re missing the point.\\xa0\\nIn fact, it\\u2019s entirely possible that many of you have read it. At the same time, I\\u2019ve received enough questions lately that tell me this book will make a difference for you. Even if you\\u2019ve read it before, this book is so fundamental, that it\\u2019s worth a refresh.\\nThe book is the E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber.\\xa0\\nThe E in the title stands for Entrepreneurship.\\nThe book is written as a narrative, as a fable. It\\u2019s the story of Sarah, a young lady who loves to bake pies. So much so that she decides she\\u2019s going to open a bakery.\\xa0\\nThis is so common a story. We\\u2019re told to pursue our passion and to turn our passion into a business.\\xa0\\nThere are two main characters in the story. There is Sarah, and there is the author of the book, who in this case is cast as a business consultant.\\xa0\\n\\xa0What I like about E-Myth is the clarity and simplicity of Michael Gerber\\u2019s model. It\\u2019s easy to identify when one of the players in your business is out of position. It\\u2019s easy to see when the business owner is wearing to many hats. It\\u2019s also easy to see where the structure is missing.'
