Psychology of entrepreneurship

What author do you think has the best insights into the psychological ins and outs of small business ownership?

I did a search on Amazon on this question to jog my memory and just couldn't find much.

Thanks,
Marcia Yudkin


Is your web site working for or against you? Find out here.

Not too many out there (as you've found) but I did come across one by Sarah and Paul Edwards a few years ago that did have some wonderful content as it applies to the topic... but darned I don't remember which one of their books did it justice.

Take care,

Mike Winicki

What's driving me bananas is that I know I'm on the mailing list (postal mail of a psychologist in NYC that specializes in this, but I can't think of her name. Also I once interviewed a psychologist who treats self-sabotaging executives whom I've seen quoted a lot in Fast Company in the last few years, but I can't think of his name, either!

No, that's not it, but thanks for making me aware of the book. I will look into this one.

I'm sorry the other post I gave was
for a man ....

Is it the person above?
Title: Optimal Thinking

I got a lot out of Michael Gerber's first "The E-myth". I didn't care for the follow up writngs though.

This isn't a direct response to your question, but it is nevertheless interesting:

Bal,

Interesting that in that article they contrast "entrepreneurs" and "normal people."

Entrepreneurs are by definition abnormal? Not where I come from. Both my grandfathers were entrepreneurs, as was my father and his brother, as are both of my sisters.
