"The Four Workarounds"

Piggyback, Loophole, Roundabout, and Next-Best are according to Paulo Savaget the four workarounds that can help us navigate life's challenges.
🔹Piggyback involves leveraging existing systems and relationships to solve problems. For example, using a well-established network to promote a new product.
🔹Loophole means finding gaps in rules that can be exploited without breaking them, like using tax regulations to minimize expenses.
🔹Roundabout focuses on influencing self-enforcing behaviors, such as using celebrity endorsements to enhance brand image.
🔹Next-Best is about repurposing available resources creatively, like using a coffee machine to boil an egg.

When facing a challenge, systematically consider leveraging relationships, exploiting rules, influencing beliefs, or repurposing resources to find a solution.
