This is the audio foreword by Michael E. Gerber for David Jenyns’ book Systemology. Gerber, referencing his E-Myth work, endorses Jenyns as a trustworthy systems thinker and entrepreneur who built Systemology into his ventures. He praises the book as a step-by-step blueprint that prevents common small-business mistakes—specifically dependence on the owner—and strongly recommends readers apply the methods.

Forward from the desk of Michael E. Gerber, author of the E. Myth Books. I am Michael E. Gerber, and it didn't take much to convince me to write the foreword to David Jennings new book, Systemology. Indeed, all he had to do was ask. Because David and I go back a ways, digging deep into each other's work passion, and most important, his integrity. David is a trustworthy man. Why is that important? Because David is also a systems thinker, a creator of the first order, an entrepreneur who has done what I've written about not once, but several times. Creating small companies, going to work on those small companies, systemizing those small companies to prepare them to grow. But, and here's the most important thing about all this. To grow without David having to remain the chief cook and bottle washer, responsible for every little wrinkle and widget, every single decision waiting desperately to be made. No, David built Systemology into every single one of his new ventures from the get go. And that's why this book is so essential for you. Because in this book, David explains, step by step by step by step, exactly how you can do the very same thing. In short, David has built a system out of Systemology to make it literally impossible for a small growing entrepreneur like you to make the mistakes almost every small business owner is doomed to make, creating a business that's totally dependent upon them. Which is really all I have to say about it. I invented working on your business instead of it almost 43 years ago with my very first E. Myth book. And here I am telling you that David Jennings has not only done done it, but he's now written the brilliant book to teach you exactly how to do it, too. Read it, relish it, but most important, do it. It's the magical elixir for what ails you.
