EMyth Business Coach (Remote)

About us:

Our mission at EMyth is simple: to help every small business owner create a business they love leading and a life they love living. We pioneered the business coaching industry in 1977, which was followed by the release of The EMyth Revisited by our founder Michael E. Gerber. It's one of the 10 best-selling business books of all time and 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 Technicians, whose businesses work because of them, to Entrepreneurs, whose businesses can flourish without them.

EMyth has developed, over decades, proprietary business development products and services designed to assist business owners in building a business that works. The EMyth Coaching Program offers business owners a comprehensive system with a proven methodology and set of practical tools.

We welcome applicants of any gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, socioeconomic and family status, disability and veteran status.
