Michael Gerber : League of Extraordinary Minds Expert Panelist

Michael Gerber
Michael E. Gerber has spent his life understanding and improving the world of the Entrepreneur. This passion led to the founding of E-Myth Worldwide in 1977 to transform the way that small business owners do the work of growing their companies. Having coached, taught, and trained over 50,000 small businesses in 145 countries, Michael has become the world’s preeminent small business guru. He has now founded In the Dreaming Room. He lives in Carlsbad, California.
The Small Business Revolution Has an Impassioned Leader
Every revolution has a leader…to awaken the spirit, to champion the cause, to lead the charge! Business visionary, entrepreneur, best-selling author and Chairman of E-Myth Worldwide, Michael Gerber has been leading a Small Business Revolution before anyone knew there was one! He called it The E-Myth Revolution, and over the past two decades, he has indelibly touched hundreds of thousands of small business owners throughout the world with his brilliantly insightful, original E-Myth message.
Michael Gerber’s E-Myth Point of View embodies his commitment to personal growth and the realization that a business owner’s purpose in life can be actualized through his or her business. Michael Gerber’s efforts, his message–his very life’s work has been to empower business owners to gain more freedom, more money, more time, and more life.
Rise Above the Tyranny of Work to Find Freedom & Joy
Documented in his mega-best seller The E-Myth: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It, Michael Gerber’s E-Myth Point of View provides those typically enslaved by a business with a way out of what he calls “the tyranny of routine.” Dragging down the owner’s entrepreneurial spirit, this tyranny is the dull, repetitive work Michael Gerber refers to as doing-it, doing-it, doing-it. The E-Myth powerfully describes how to rise above that tyranny of routine to build a flourishing, exciting, innovative business.
But The E-Myth is much more than just a book! After intensive research and hundreds of thousands of hours testing essential business development principles, practices and systems, Michael Gerber successfully created a programmatic method that works for anyone determined to improve the condition of his or her business. As a result, The E-Myth is now a process, a system, a model which can be implemented in any small business–and when implemented–will provide freedom and joy for the owners, employees and staff.
The E-Myth Point of View Reaches Out to the World
Michael Gerber has taken his methodology and message on the road, addressing business audiences throughout North America, the Pacific Rim, Europe and beyond about how to start their own personal revolution. Since the 1970s, he has served as keynote speaker, telling his compelling story to a variety of corporations, organizations, professional associations, franchises and independent business owners.
Besides speaking to business audiences, Michael Gerber expresses The E-Myth Point of View through his highly-acclaimed business books, audio tapes, videos, radio and television broadcasts. His book, The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It, (HarperBusiness), is licensed in 16 languages and has gone into its tenth printing. Selling over a million copies, The E-Myth Revisited has been named one of the top business best sellers. Gerber has also authored The Power Point (HarperBusiness), The E-Myth Manager: Why Management Doesn’t Work and What to Do About It (HarperBusiness), and The E-Myth Contractor: Why Most Contractors’ Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It (HarperBusiness), The E-Myth Physician: Why Most Medical Practices Don’t Work and What to Do About It (HarperBusiness) and his latest book E-Myth Mastery: The Seven Essential Disciplines for Building a World Class Company.
Michael Gerber’s firm, E-Myth Worldwide, brings low-cost, high-impact consulting to the small business owner, and is the pioneer in long distance “telecoaching.”

Bo Burlingham : League of Extraordinary Minds Expert Panelist

Bo Burlingham
Bo Burlingham is the author of Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great Instead of Big (Portfolio, 2006) and an Editor-at-large of Inc. magazine.
My story in brief: I joined Inc. in January 1983 as a senior editor and became executive editor six months later, a position I held for the next seven years or so. In 1990, I resigned and became editor-at-large for a number of reasons, including my desire to go back to writing. I subsequently wrote two books with Jack Stack, the co-founder and CEO of Springfield Remanufacturing Corp. and the pioneer of open-book management. One of the books, The Great Game of Business (Doubleday/Currency, 1992), has sold more than 300,000 copies. (It explains what open-book management is and how it works in practice at the company that does it best.) The other, A Stake in the Outcome (Doubleday/Currency, 2002), has also done pretty well and gotten great reviews. (It’s a book you should read if you want to know what it really takes to run an employee-owned company.)
Before joining Inc., I freelanced for various publications, including Esquire, Harper’s, Boston Magazine, and Mother Jones. I was also managing editor of Ramparts magazine for a while, if anyone can remember back that far. In 1982, I joined Fidelity Investments, where I wrote for Peter Lynch, Ned Johnson, and other honchos until coming to Inc. From 1992 to 1997, I served on the board of The Body Shop Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of the international cosmetics company. I was also a founder, with Tom Peters, of PAC World, a weird international networking group that gave me a chance to meet a lot of zany—and brilliant—people from around the globe.
What else? I’ve been married 35 years to my wonderful wife, Lisa. We have two children and one fabulous grandson, with a granddaughter on the way. We live…well, that’s a long story. Let’s just say I’m always at large.

Sergio Zyman : League of Extraordinary Minds Expert Panelist

Sergio Zyman
Sergio Zyman is the Chairman and founder of Zyman Group and the former Chief Marketing Officer of The Coca-Cola Company. Over the course of 30+ years of hands-on marketing experience, Zyman has conceived a revolutionary set of principles that are proven to translate marketing strategies into positive business results. He rejects the old rules of the industry that conceptualized marketing as an art form with vague commercials and awareness messages. Instead, Zyman passionately advocates a vision of scientific, process-based marketing as the driver of sales and profits and the centerpiece of business. The only definition of marketing success he upholds is “selling more stuff to more people more often for more money more efficiently.”
From major food and beverage companies to industrial manufacturers to popular retailers to global telecommunications powers, a diverse group of clients has sought out and received Zyman’s marketing expertise. As the driving force behind Zyman Group, he is able to reach even more diverse businesses in need of marketing guidance. Zyman Group has helped businesses ranging from the largest of the Global 1000 to high-tech growth companies improve their marketing results by providing the guidance they need to move their marketing efforts from hoping to planning, from art to science, from guessing to knowing, and from random success to planned success.
Zyman’s unparalleled marketing career also includes tenures with Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble. He is best known for his bold actions as the outspoken CMO of Coca-Cola, where he re-conceptualized the company’s marketing strategy and boosted worldwide annual sales volume from nine to 15 billion cases–the most explosive growth period in the company’s history. This success led TIME magazine to name him one of the three key pitchmen of the 20th century.
His passion and knowledge have been transformed into texts that constitute the core curriculum of results-driven marketing. His best selling book, The End Of Marketing As We Know It, clearly lays out Zyman’s ground rules for marketing success. In his second book, Building Brandwidth: Closing the Sale Online, Zyman turns his expert eye to the e-marketing revolution, and explains the futility of Internet marketing that fails to close online sales. His third book, The End of Advertising As We Know It, examines the one segment of marketing where the most mistakes are made and where the most money is spent, and wasted–advertising–and provides actionable recommendations for improving return on advertising investment. Sergio’s latest book, Renovate Before You Innovate, details time-tested principles for accelerating sustainable organic growth.
As a highly-experienced marketing professional and an extremely charismatic communicator, Sergio Zyman is sought after as a speaker by companies and organizations throughout the world. He energizes audiences with his creativity and dynamic, unpredictable style. In addition, his acute insights have been featured in every major business publication, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week and Fortune.
