Episode from StartupNation Radio Channel: Business Planning

Episode Spotlight

Michael Gerber’s E-Myth franchise debunked the common myths surrounding starting a business. He outlines a series of steps that take people from beginning to end and teaches that a successful business is autonomous; it succeeds without the entrepreneur rather than because of him. Gerber believes that your business should thrive independent of you so that you are not a slave to it. That being said, a business should be born of a dream.  This is the theory behind In the Dreaming Room , Gerber’s latest project.

In the Dreaming Room is an event that encourages people to identify their dream and find a way to pursue it as a business. Michael holds these events nationwide as a venue in which people explore their passions, identify them and find a way to connect them to a business plan. Listen in as Michael Gerber explains the reasons why dreaming is essential.
