Santa Rosa, CA – January 14, 2008 — E-Myth Worldwide™, a global provider of coaching and educational solutions for small business owners and entrepreneurs, will kick off its International Business Leadership Series by hosting a three-day seminar and roundtable event for Nigerian business professionals January 14-16 in Rohnert Park, California, U.S.

Thirty industry and commerce leaders were invited to the event by the United States Commercial Service at the U.S. Consulate General Lagos in Nigeria, in association with Mentors Guild Nigeria and Bitts Travel & Tours Ltd. They will explore the entrepreneurial strategies, leadership skills and small business systems that E-Myth Worldwide has been teaching to small business owners for more than 30 years. Michael Gerber, E-Myth founder and bestselling author of The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Fail and What to Do About It, will speak to the group, as will Company CEO Bill Schlegel.

"It's an exciting and historic opportunity to work with business and government officials to bring small business development solutions to local communities worldwide," said Schlegel. "This program is the first phase of our commitment to provide our Nigerian guests comprehensive, continuing education services. They will leave the event inspired to expand upon their experiences with E-Myth and empowered to implement proven systems in local businesses across Nigeria."

Seminar participant Anayo Agu, Senior Commercial Specialist with the United States Commercial Service said "One of the most profound truths I have ever heard is that difficulties arise in ignorance and weakness. To overcome any difficulty be it business development or wealth creation in an emerging market, you need the wisdom and strength to do the right thing at the right time. In Nigeria, opportunities abound, but entrepreneurs struggle for survival due to dysfunctional structures, processes and systems. As Buckminster Fuller pointed out, you never change things by fighting existing reality. To change something, you build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. I believe the E-Myth perspective has the potential to transform the lifestyle of business in Nigeria and all of Africa. Our primary goal is to make it happen."

This program kicks off E-Myth's International Business Leadership Series and will be followed by similar programs for businesses in Africa, Central and South America, Europe and Asia.
