As piano technicians, we probably spend a good part of our time each day in our vehicle. If you have a cassette player in your car, you can use that driving time to expand your mind by listening to recorded material, such as a book on tape, or a lecture or seminar. I would like to recommend an excellent cassette tape series by Michael Gerber, titled "The E-Myth Seminar". The 6 one hour long tapes are a recording of a business seminar that Michael Gerber gave in Australia. The main premise in the tapes is that most people who start their own business don't have an idea about what they are doing, and the business is just going haphazardly along from one crisis to the next. The tapes have great ideas on developing a plan for your business and doing things ON PURPOSE instead of just reacting to a situation. The emphasis is on deciding what you want your business to look like in 3 to 5 years and making your vision happen. I have now listened to the entire tape series 6 or 7 times and learn something new each time. The tapes are available from: Nightingale-Conant 7300 North Lehigh Avenue Niles, Illinois 60714 1-800-323-5552 Nightingale-Conant is a leading distributor of business education materials, with a lot of video and audio tapes, as well as business related books. Michael Gerber runs a business called: Gerber Business Development Corp. 1310 Redwood Way, Suite 200 Petalum, CA 94954 (800) 663-6984 If you have some tapes that you would recommend, please let me know, as I find myself doing a LOT of driving!
