About this listen

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.

Pretty good

I really like this book and the amazing insight into a systematic mindset of a successful entrepreneur
The only downside is the Reader , his voice is so monotonous I find I’m tuning out most times and can’t focus for too long
The story is really good and interesting and helpful in improving the way you function for better success

Convoluted

I often found myself thinking "get to freaking point". The concept is good but it could have been written in a quarter of the length. He spends an inordinate amount of time explaining how many times he's re-written the book. One wonders if the first draft might have been the best. Nonetheless I did take away a renewed commitment to finding order in my business. If you're looking to systematize your business I'd instead recommend books like Systemology or Clockwork.
