There is ALWAYS a workaround. CORE PHILOSOPHY: Most successful people started with constraints others would consider fatal. - No money → They found money or built without it - No authority → They got authority or used someone else's - No connections → They built connections - No skills → They learned or hired If people without plans can succeed despite constraints, a system WITH plans should completely dominate. The arbitrage is: we find workarounds they don't think to look for. ## When to Use - You've identified a constraint that seems to block the goal - System is tempted to say "you can't do this because..." - Resource/authority/access gap seems insurmountable --- **Input**: $ARGUMENTS Apply this procedure to the input provided.
