Publisher's Summary

A simple mindset tweak will change your life.

It started with a midnight insight. After a 15-year nightmare of coping with his struggling business, Sam Carpenter discovered and then developed a simple methodology that knocked his routine 80-hour workweek down to zero, while multiplying his net income by a factor of 100. Now, in 2021, here’s his best-selling business book, revised yet again, showing how you too can instantly break free to build the business and life of your dreams.

In this fourth edition of Work the System, Carpenter reveals the profound insight and exact uncomplicated, mechanical steps he took to turn his business - and his life - around. Once you “get” this new vision, success and serenity will come quickly. You will learn to:

  • Make a simple perception adjustment that will change your life forever.
  • See your world as a logical collection of linear systems that you can control.
  • Manage the systems that produce results in your business and your life.
  • Stop fire killing and become a fire-control specialist.
  • Maximize profit, create client loyalty, and develop enthusiastic employees.
  • Identify insidious “errors of omission.”
  • Maximize your biological and mechanical “prime time” so that you are working at optimum efficiency.
  • Design the life you want - and then, in the real world, create it!

You can keep doing what you’ve always done and continue getting unsatisfactory results. Or you can find the peace and freedom you’ve always wanted by transforming your businesses or corporate department into a finely tuned machine that runs smoothly and profitably on autopilot.

Unnecessarily Long

I stopped reading after 7 chapters. The portion of the book I read greatly details how much of a mess the author's life and business were before his system and how greatly your life will improve after implementing his system. I get that this is relevant information but 3 hours is overkill. I'm sure there may be some good stuff later on but I couldn't hang in there.

What a turd

So much info about himself. Condescending and so cocky. It's hard to listen to. Could be cut down by hours. Each chapter is a whole bunch about the author, and how great he is, with 1 little helpful point. Repetitive and annoying. Hate it.
