Who Michael works with
E-Myth works with small business owners whose company depends on them for every decision, standard and customer promise. These owners often feel stuck working harder while the business asks for more. Clients can start with workshops and community, or go straight into one-on-one coaching.
How Michael works
E-Myth coaching is built on the Seven Essential Systems: Leadership, marketing, finance, management, customer fulfillment, lead generation and lead conversion. Coaches start with the owner's most pressing worry, then build systems so it does not return. Each system starts from a guide, drawn from over 100 system solution guides developed over 50 years. Owners can also join EMyth Connect for workshops and community.
Background and qualifications
