Mentors At Work Announces 2nd Phase of Executive Book Study Series
Due to higher than expected demand, Mentors At Work, LLC, has just added a second session of its online chapter-by-chapter study of the book The E-Myth Revisited which will begin the week of September 3rd and is announcing that Raving Fans will be the next book studied. Earlier this month Mentors At Work announced that it will be leading an executive book study series that will lead shop and jobber owners and managers through some of the most important business and management books of modern times, books like the above and Good to Great, First Break All the Rules, and more.The second session of the book study on The E-Myth Revisited- Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What To Do About It, by Michael E. Gerber, starts the first week in September and ends in the middle of October. The “E” in the title stands for “Entrepreneur”. Participants in the book study will receive online access to a list of points to ponder and study questions for each chapter.
The second book in the Executive Book Study Series will be Raving Fans, by Ken Blanchard. This study will begin on October 1st. Raving Fans has revolutionized how many businesses have approached customer service. Raving Fans includes tips and innovative techniques that can help anyone create a revolution in any workplace—how you can turn your customers into raving fans who spend their money in your business as opposed to your competitors.
The E-Myth Revisited and Raving Fans book studies will be led by Mark Claypool, President and CEO of Mentors At Work and Select Tech Professional Services. Participants in both studies will be invited to join an online forum with their peers where they can discuss various issues that the books bring to life in today's collision repair industry.
Participants in both studies will also be invited to take part in online meetings/conference calls with their peers. At the end of each book study, participants will be encouraged to create some Commitments To Action so they can take important steps forward with their businesses. And all of this can be done from the comfort of one’s home or office.
The E-Myth Revisited has had a profound impact on the way some of the Collision Repair Industry’s leaders do their daily business. “This Executive Book Study series is breaking new ground in reviewing state-of-the-art business practices with business owners and managers who go through the very same things each and every day,” explained Claypool. “The author, Michael Gerber, points out that most small businesses are created by 'technicians' who are skilled on the technical side of things and continue to focus on that side of the company and ignore or don’t spend enough time in the other aspects of their business because they don’t have the skills or it is out of their comfort zones. They end up having a 'job' rather than truly owning a 'business.' The business owns them rather than the other way around. Gerber leads the reader beyond this to the promised land of the great American dream. This book is a must read for all business owners.”
