Considering 5,000 copies makes a book a best seller, this is pretty impressive. The story of how he came to write The E-Myth Bookkeeper with Peter and Debbie is quite incredible.
When Debbie first realised that she needed help to grow her bookkeeping business, she engaged Pete as her business coach after they met at a networking group. The first thing Pete did was give her a copy of The E-Myth. He knew that to realise her vision of a thriving bookkeeping business, Debbie would need to create a set of systems which would allow other bookkeepers to replicate her standard of work, so that she no longer had to be the “technician” in the business. It’s a story like that of many others in the small-business world, and the E-Myth was written to help people in exactly Debbie’s situation. Fast forward 12 years and Pete hears that a friend of his is organising a conference in Canada where Michael Gerber is the headline speaker. Pete asks his friend if he can get Gerber to sign a copy of the E-Myth dedicated to Debbie, as she is such a fan. (If you’ve ever seen Debbie run a seminar, you will have heard her talk about this book). So Pete’s friend says to Michael Gerber you have huge fan in Australia, and he showed him an extract of the Pure Bookkeeping System. His response blew Peter and Debbie away. Not only did he sign the book for Debbie, he then asked Pete and Deb if they would co-author The E-Myth Bookkeeper with him! Deb was literally speechless when she heard.

“After over a decade of running Australia’s largest bookkeeping network and helping thousands of bookkeepers build successful businesses, we at Australian Bookkeepers Network know it’s ultimately about bookkeepers taking action and gaining control of the way they do business. This thought-provoking and insightful book provides the blueprint for successfully growing a bookkeeping business . .. presented in an easy to read, fun way. Brilliant.”
“The E-MYTH Bookkeeper is not only a mountain of information, it’s an invaluable tool. It provides instruction, encouragement, resources and most of all promotes an attitude of “I can do it”. I have read the book once through to get a full overview of the information. I now intend to return and use the book as a work tool, including the website resources referenced, to assist in elevating my company to the next level. I made notations throughout Debbie’s stories to use for examples of encouragement and success, to press forward. Its uncanny how “close to home” many of those experiences are, as if she’s “fly on my own wall”. If you are self-motivated, this book is like having a business coach in your pocket.”
