The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It
When I started J3media, this was the first book I read on how to run a business. I know I am not the only one, as I am constantly hearing other business owners refer to this book in their decision making.  Anyone who runs a business, or who is thinking of starting a business, should read this book.
