2부는 성공적인 비즈니스를 구축하는 데 필요한 시스템과 프로세스에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 거버는 복제 가능하고 확장 가능하며 지속 가능한 시스템과 프로세스를 개발하는 것의 중요성을 강조한다. 그는 성공적인 사업은 사업이 성장함에 따라 쉽게 복제하고 확장할 수 있는 시스템의 기초 위에 세워진다고 설명한다.

3부는 책에 설명된 원칙을 구현하는 방법에 대한 실질적인 조언을 제공한다. 거버는 강력한 비전을 만드는 방법, 목표를 설정하고 진행 상황을 측정하는 방법, 직원을 고용하고 훈련시키는 방법을 포함하여 성공적인 비즈니스를 구축하고 관리하기 위한 구체적인 전략을 제공합니다.

전반적으로, 이 책의 핵심 아이디어는 성공적인 기업가 정신은 기업가 정신, 관리 및 기술을 포함한 기술과 역할의 조합을 필요로 한다는 것이다. 거버는 지속 가능하고 확장 가능한 비즈니스를 창출하기 위해 복제 가능한 시스템과 프로세스를 개발하는 것의 중요성을 강조한다.

"The E-Myth Revisited" by Michael E. Gerber is a book that offers valuable insights into entrepreneurship and how to successfully start and run a small business. The "E-Myth" in the title stands for the "Entrepreneurial Myth," which is the mistaken belief that most small businesses are started by entrepreneurs. In reality, most small business owners are technicians who are skilled in their craft but lack the necessary entrepreneurial skills to run a successful business.

The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of entrepreneurship. Part One discusses the myths and misconceptions about entrepreneurship, including the idea that being skilled in a particular trade or profession is enough to succeed as a business owner. Gerber argues that successful entrepreneurship requires a combination of three distinct roles: the entrepreneur, the manager, and the technician. He stresses the importance of developing each of these roles to create a balanced and effective business.

Part Two focuses on the systems and processes that are necessary to build a successful business. Gerber emphasizes the importance of developing systems and processes that are replicable, scalable, and sustainable. He explains that successful businesses are built on a foundation of systems that can be easily replicated and scaled as the business grows.

Part Three offers practical advice on how to implement the principles outlined in the book. Gerber provides specific strategies for building and managing a successful business, including how to create a compelling vision, how to set goals and measure progress, and how to hire and train employees.

Overall, the core idea of the book is that successful entrepreneurship requires a combination of skills and roles, including entrepreneurship, management, and technical skills. Gerber stresses the importance of developing replicable systems and processes to create a sustainable and scalable business.

"The E-Myth Revisited" has had a significant impact on the field of entrepreneurship and small business management. It has become a classic in the genre and is recommended reading for anyone who wants to start or grow a small business. The book has also inspired a number of spin-off resources, including workshops, coaching programs, and online courses.

One of the key lessons that can be taken from this book is the importance of building a strong foundation for a business. By focusing on systems and processes, entrepreneurs can create a solid framework that can support growth and success. Another lesson is the importance of balancing the three roles of entrepreneurship, management, and technical skill. This requires a willingness to learn and develop new skills and a commitment to ongoing personal and professional growth.

For those interested in further reading, some recommended books in the field of entrepreneurship and small business management include "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries, "Good to Great" by Jim Collins, and "Scaling Up" by Verne Harnish. The Korean version of "The E-Myth Revisited" is titled "창업자의 기쁨."

In "The E-Myth Revisited," Michael E. Gerber emphasizes the importance of working on your business rather than in your business. He argues that entrepreneurs often fail because they don't have a system in place for running their business. Instead, they try to do everything themselves, leading to burnout and a lack of growth.

Gerber introduces the concept of the "E-Myth," which stands for the entrepreneurial myth. This myth suggests that all entrepreneurs are inherently skilled at every aspect of running a business, from marketing to operations to finance. However, Gerber argues that this is not the case, and that entrepreneurs need to learn how to build systems and processes that will allow their businesses to run smoothly and efficiently.

One of the key takeaways from "The E-Myth Revisited" is the importance of creating a business that can operate without you. Gerber suggests that entrepreneurs should work on building a system that can be easily replicated, allowing the business to run on autopilot. This approach allows entrepreneurs to focus on growing their business, rather than just maintaining it.

In conclusion, "The E-Myth Revisited" is a must-read for any entrepreneur looking to build a successful business. By focusing on systemizing your business and working on it rather than in it, you can create a sustainable and profitable enterprise that will give you the freedom and joy that comes with being your own boss.
