Description
A simple mindset tweak will change your life.
It started with a midnight insight. After a fifteen-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 bestselling 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.

I’ve been running my own business for almost 30 years now and I can tell you, seeing things from another’s point of view is essential to keeping your business successful. You can’t only take your own advice and run things your own way without feedback from others.
Sam Carpenter’s “Work The System” has some interesting ideas. Not all of them are new, fresh or unheard of, but any business owner or self employed person will find some good ideas in here.
I first listened to this as an audiobook. I then realized I wanted to have the Kindle version to make some highlights and notes to go back to. You never know when you may want to incorporate something new.
Keep an open mind, especially in business. Try out other’s successful tools if you haven’t already and see how they work for you.
Special thanks to Greenleaf Book Group Press, Sam Carpenter and NetGalley for this ARC.

Tim Underwood did well with the narration of this audiobook. I enjoy listening to the audio versions of business book to get a feel for what they are about since I can listen during my commute. Do any of you listen while on your way into the office?
Work the System tells you that you need to focus on making systems and making sure you keep working on them as things don’t work. Taking action right away will help you keep things up to date and help you save money and time later on. Definitely worth the read. I will be working though the ebook I ended up with from Goodreads giveaways.
Sam explains what he means by systems and describes with stories the things that go wrong when you do not have good systems in place. If you have systems in your business that aren’t working or you’re not sure why your business is not do as well as it was or should be or as you would like it to then pick up this book. It is practical and pretty easy to follow advise.
Businesses need operation systems in place so that everyone knows what to do even when the boss isn’t around. If you do not have well working systems then your business will never be at it’s highest potential. Sam says in his book something that I took as “if your business can’t run without you gone then it’s not a good system.” If you are a business owner your whole goal is to make it work for you not to make more work for you. The point of wanting my own business is so that I can make my own schedule and have money coming in when I’m not physically working. So this spoke to me.
I would definitely recommend this book to every business owner but also to managers and persons of authority in a business who might have a way to implement systems in a business. I know many business owners who would benefit from reading this book and taking action but alas, not everyone will take advise. That is the downfall of many business owners. They think they don’t need help or that they don’t need other peoples opinions. It would be a shame if that were you and your business. So go get this book today!
I’d like to thank NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group for this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
