Are you a stressed-out entrepreneur who feels overworked and underpaid? Putting systems into place is the key to the life you want. Today’s guest shares how implementing systems can make profit and freedom a new reality for entrepreneurs and small business owners. 

Josh Fonger is a Business Performance Architect with the unique ability to develop and implement systematic solutions to complex business problems. Josh has personally consulted and coached over 600 business owners from over 100 industries, ranging from small business startups to $500M enterprises. Because of Josh’s phenomenal success, he has quickly become one of the most in-demand small business consultants in North America. He connected with Sam Carpenter in 2011 after reading Sam’s book, Work the System. Sam and Josh soon recognized their shared vision of helping business owners get unstuck using systematic solutions. They partnered to co-manage the consulting firm, Work the System, which has now attracted over 100,000 business owners from over 50 countries. When he’s not coaching or consulting, Josh enjoys setting up “personal systems” to maximize his time with his wife and four children.
