Do you really have a business, or do you simply have a job? Our guest this week will help you to detach yourself from the day-to-day so you can work ‘on' the business rather than ‘in’ the business, and who knows, maybe you can have that holiday you’ve been putting off for years?
David Jenyns is the author of SYSTEMology, a blueprint that enables a business to run without the owner having to be there. In Jenyns' words, you can ‘duplicate the business owner and best team members’ so they can perform the ‘minimum viable tasks’. Jenyns was inspired to write the book when he systemised himself out of his own businesses. He isn’t just a theorist - he’s done it himself.
