The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less

Book • 2008

In 'Work the System,' Sam Carpenter shares his insights on how recognizing and managing systems can transform both business and personal life.

After a 15-year struggle with his chaotic business, Carpenter had an epiphany that everything is a system, and by controlling and perfecting these systems, he was able to turn his business around and significantly reduce his work hours.

The book explains how to identify, improve, and maintain systems to achieve better results, reduce stress, and increase productivity.
