Let’s be honest—when you’re driving between jobs, grinding away solo, or just trying to unwind after a long day, podcasts are clutch. I’ve been on the hunt for something new lately, and figured I’d throw it out there—what podcasts are you listening to that actually fire you up, teach you something, or just help you zone out and reset? Could be trades-related, mindset, money, business, or even total random entertainment. I don’t care if it’s about tools or true crime—if it’s good, drop it. Always looking to stack the playlist. What’s in your rotation?This Book Has Been Foundational For Me!
Alright, listen up. If you’re runnin’ a small business and haven’t read Michael Gerber’s The E-Myth Revisited, you’re missin’ out big time. This book’s a game-changer, no two ways about it. Gerber breaks down why most small businesses fall flat and how to dodge that bullet. And here’s the kicker: it ain’t about how good you are at your repairing something; it’s about how well you run the business. Gerber’s got this idea that every business owner’s got three jobs: The Technician – the doer. This is the one out there grindin’ it out, doin’ the actual work. You’re a plumber? That’s you fixin’ leaks. The Manager – the one keepin’ things in line. Schedules, budgets, makin’ sure everything’s runnin’ smooth. The Entrepreneur – the big thinker. The one lookin’ down the road, dreamin’ up where this business can go next. Problem is, most folks are stuck bein’ just Technicians. They’re good at doin’ the work but not so good at runnin’ the show. That’s why they end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and still strapped for cash. If you wanna run a solid business, you gotta stop tryin’ to do everything yourself. You need systems & processes, you need to be able to hand stuff off so the whole thing doesn’t fall apart if you’re not there. That means you gotta step up as the Manager and Entrepreneur, not just the Technician. It’s the only way you’re gonna grow and get outta the daily grind. The eventual goal is to be in Entrepreneur mode full time! There’s even an E-Myth Contractor version, but don’t jump there just yet. Start with the original. The basics are the same no matter what kind of gig you’re runnin’, and once you get those down, then you can see how it fits for your trade. The E-Myth ain’t just a book; it’s a playbook for people like us running a business.
