How to succeed in business

TOO many small business owners are enslaved by their companies, too dragged down by the routine of their businesses to develop their entrepreneurial skills adequately and too busy working in the business instead of on it.

These are some of the philosophies of American business guru Michael Gerber who is speaking at Business Connections on April 28, passing on his ideas on how business owners can build flourishing, exciting companies.

Michael is the author of best seller The E-Myth: Why most small businesses don't work and what to do about it

Through intensive research and thousands of hours of testing essential business development principles, Michael has created a programme to help business owners to improve their situations.

The basis of his philosophy lies in his commitment to personal growth and the realisation of one's purpose in life through one's company.

Michael's ideas have touched hundreds of small businesses throughout the world over the past 20 years. He believes that unless business owners can take six to eight weeks holiday each year and return to find the organisation running as they left it, they are simply technicians, not business entrepreneurs.

He tells them how to start their own personal revolution, putting into place a method that produces results and vitality
