Sam’s book, Work the System: The Simple Mechanics of Making More and Working Less, much much more than a collection of helpful hints, explores a simple mindset adjustment that will transform a life of long work hours and financial lack, into a life of freedom, wealth and peace.

In a moment of time, Sam experienced a simple  yet profound epiphany and was instantly able to see the exact actions he would have to take to finally break free. With his new-found perspective, Sam quickly transformed not just his horrible work and financial conditions, but also his poor health and meager relationships. There is nothing mystical or esoteric about the “systems mindset” approach. It’s simple mechanics. This is a transformation anyone can undergo!

The Work the System method is aimed at helping you “get what you want,” without turning your life upside down. The Work the System methodology does not compete with the excellent advice of popular masters of organization/life design such as Michael Gerber, Stephen Covey, David Allen, Anthony Robbins, Timothy Ferriss or Chris Grogan. Instead, “Work” enhances the efficiencies of these or any other personal methodologies. It’s about “getting underneath” the life you live now; to see and then adjust the systems that produce your short and long-term outcomes.

BF Skinner said it well: “We manage our own behavior when we deliberately alter the variables of which that behavior is a function; that is, when we act in some way in order to change our subsequent behavior.” Skinner was discussing personal behavior but the same principle absolutely applies to the more mechanical aspects of work and life, too.

Here is the simple crux: With the systems mindset internalized, you will spend your days managing the systems of your life, rather than frittering away precious time repairing the bad results of unseen (and therefore)  unmanaged systems.

Unlike most work and life-efficiency experts, Sam is not profit motivated in his writing. (He says, “…this gives me enormous freedom!”) He walks-the-talk, having created wealth and freedom within his own life through the systems mindset approach he esposes in his book.  Sam doesn’t make a living through consulting or public speaking, and wrote Work the System so it would provide everything the reader needs in order to turn things around.  Through his writing, his simple passion is to help others achieve the same degree of freedom and power that he has created for himself.
