EMyth celebrates diversity. We're a proud equal opportunity employer and strongly encourage applications from people of any race, national origin, age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, protected veteran or disabled status, religious affiliation or sexual orientation.

About us:

EMyth pioneered the business coaching industry in 1977. The start of the company led to the publishing of The E-Myth Revisited, one of the 10 best-selling business books of all time, written by EMyth founder Michael E. Gerber. The book has inspired millions of business owners to work on their business, not just in it. Based on the principles of the book, our Coaching Program is designed to help business owners make the transition from a Technician, whose business works because of them, to an Entrepreneur, whose business can flourish without them.

Over 40 plus years of business coaching, we've refined the structure, tools, perspective and support to ensure business owners succeed. Our coaching program covers each of the core business disciplines they need to know but never learned so they can build a business that works.

Our clients also discover in our coaching program that a business is meant to help them create a more fulfilling life, so our work hours are sane, we deliberately avoid politics, and we bring our passion-not pretense-to work. We're committed to an uncommonly genuine way of being with our prospects, our clients and each other. Our culture values transparency and co-creativity. It's supportive and growth-oriented. We help business owners grow, not just their companies, and it requires in each of us an openness to grow, personally and professionally.
