Meet the "Employee of the Month" Todd Greene, Founder and President of Headblade
Todd Greene
"I rented this booth on Venice Beach... I had 500 Headblades, my ex-wife was there, we had a couple of friends, the girls in bikini's on their roller blades, so I thought 'okay, I'm going to sell my 500 Headblades here, this is where I'm going to do my worldwide introduction of Headblade'... At the end of the day, I looked at my ex-wife and said 'I don't know why I'm doing this... we sold 8 Headblades,' and she said, 'you have to look at the bright side of the story, you sold 5, more than everyone else combined.' And I looked at her and said, 'what am I going to do with that? I'm employee of the month?" Todd Greene.

E-Myth Legend Michael E. Gerber returns to Total Picture Radio
Michael Gerber
"Seventy percent of all businesses in the United States are sole proprietors. They started out doing it doing it doing it — and they continue doing it doing it doing it — just one guy... one woman. It's not even a business; it's a practice. And they are the sum and the substance of that practice. So, most people who start, start because they need a job, they gotta have a job, they create their own job, and it becomes the worst job in the world because they're working for a lunatic." - Michael Gerber

If you think of this trilogy as films, The E-Myth Enterprise is the prequel.
Gerber turns his attention to business invention in this slim, straightforward book that distills the essential knowledge needed to create a completely original company. He identifies four essential facets of building a new company—visual, emotional, functional and financial—and the five essential skills: concentration, discrimination, organization, innovation and communication.
