Imo, if you have to argue about whether the E-Myth precepts + philosophies are valid, you shouldn't call yourself an entrepreneur.

If you have to think about it, it means you need to make some serious mental hardwiring adjustments.

The E-Myth stuff IS valid... and needs to be the very FOUNDATION you build everything else upon.

It should be a *given*.

To see it 'debated' in a forum like this, pains me.

If you're unsure about it, then you don't really have a valid foundation in the first place. Unless you FEEL the E-Myth difference in your very soul, you are building your biz life on FALSE pretenses -- and you are gambling with your financial life.

My 2 cents.
