Like everything I read in a book for $50 or less, if I can get a gem or two I'm satisfied. EMyth certainly had a gem or two, but I'm not ready to ride the train. Forget for a moment that he bombed his own business, although he worked his way out of a $M bankruptcy with $M legal fees as written in Revisited. Not quite the model I want to follow. Forget all the boring conversations with the pie lady. I wish I could get a version with all that edited out.
The Model of Glory in EMyth is the McD model of training high school kids & retirees to be productive quickly using systems. That's the part I'm not ready to jump on the train about. Maybe you can get a kid to answer the phone & schedule appointments...or purchase materials & keep inventory...or do commercial or residential new construction. The difference that throws me is having a skilled residential or commercial service tech doing troubleshoot & repairs. Forget the high school kids & retirees. This takes years of training. They aren't going to be productive in a few days or weeks.
Will someone please explain it to me?
