## Description
The E-Myth aims to debunk the myths around entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. As a systems thinker, I can only with the idea that businesses are complex systems composed of inter-dependent processes that can and should be improved continuously.
There’s no magic trick, no silver bullet, except having the right mindset, taking some distance to make better decision, and showing up and again, never assuming that the system is perfect as it is and doesn’t require any more efforts. The world is ever-changing, and businesses need to follow along.
