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.

The book is very constructive and walks you well through the process of creating a working strategy for a business. It really helps a lot with the understanding on how the world around operates and how creating or structuring a system can support businesses growth and own well-being.

If there is anything I learned in 2020, it's the need to have different streams of income and with this in mind- Ii was reading this book looking for insights on how to run a business.
The author promises that in reading this book you'll learn how to:
1. Make a simple perception adjustment that will change your life forever.
2. See your world as a logical collection of linear systems that you can control,
3. Manage the systems that produce results in your business and your life.
4. Maximize profit, create client loyalty, and develop enthusiastic employees.
And above all, "Design the life you want—and then, in the real world, create it!" and what he succeeds at the end of it, is simply unraveling what is and what is not when it comes to the process of getting things done- and I find this way better than most books I've read on this topic- because of the what he shares at the very beginning about systems- and this includes the personal life, social, business, spiritual and how to take care of all these to be able to fulfill our goals.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

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.
