BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast - How to “Work the System” to Make More Money & Work Way Less

Everyone wants to make more money. But, as an entrepreneur, you may be used to putting in hours of work learning new tactics, skills, and strategies. While it’s a commendable feat to build a profitable business, it can also be a prison sentence for many “hands-on” entrepreneurs. This is how Sam Carpenter, author of Work the System felt as he put in 110 hours a week just to keep his business afloat. Sam realized why he was working so hard without seeing results: there were no systems in his business. Once he started implementing systems and processes, he went from 110+ hour weeks to 2 hour weeks. The same happened with one of his students and now partner, Josh Fonger, who runs Work the System Enterprises where he helps business owners from over 50 countries scale their businesses with far less headache. ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE: https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup ~~~~ Get Tickets to BPCon 2021: https://www.bpcon2021.com/ ~~~~ Grab the Book “Work The System”: https://www.amazon.com/Work-System-Fourth-Mechanics-Working/dp/1626347697/ ~~~~ Grab the Free Ebook: https://www.workthesystem.com/get-the-book-free/ ~~~~ Learn How You Can Work The System https://www.workthesystem.com/ ~~~~ Why Elite Investors Know Exactly How Much Their Time Is Worth: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/elite-investors-know-their-time-worth ~~~~ Follow Brandon and David on Instagram: @beardybrandon or https://www.instagram.com/beardybrandon/ @davidgreene24 or https://www.instagram.com/davidgreene24/ Episode #510 Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show510 0:00 Intro 0:57 Quick Tip 4:01 EVERYTHING is a System 10:40 What Does It Mean to Have a System? 14:13 Knowing What You Need Before You Need It 26:12 Almost Losing His Business 39:25 Meeting His Partner Josh 40:51 Welcome Josh! 45:28 Live Guest #1 59:18 Live Guest #2 1:04:34 Live Guest #3 1:13:54 Entrepreneur Advice 1:16:09 Famous Four
