He has the memory of a dented ping-pong ball... the organizational skills of a pile of leaves on a windy day... the time-management skills of an hourglass filled with peanut butter... and an overly-sensitive aversion to illogical reasoning, aimless small talk, and cilantro...

With an extreme INTP personality and an embarrassingly-frequent tendency to get bored or distracted (after the dopamine-rush of the initial problem-solving challenge fades), often just stopping in the mi

Admitting all this (above and below) is difficult and a bit embarrassing; but I feel it's important for everyone working with me to hear it - so you understand what you're getting yourself into :) 

Sooo, what's that famous quote -

"If you can't handle my worst... something something... deserve my best... something something... let's re-think startups, challenge #StatusQuoBias, improve success rates for founders, and launch some cool new viral sh*t... something something..."

-- We're pretty sure that's exactly
how Marilyn Monroe said it.

  Even Proactively Anticipating Future "Pivots" Before You're Forced To! -- Even simultaneously testing them (simultaneously, from DAY 1!) as parallel MVPs that benefit from Shared Resources, Economies of Scale, and Collaborative Competition!

The unifying theme, tying together StartupWhatever.com & The Whatever Network (and pretty much everything we have ever done / will ever do), we are admittedly kinda obsessed with the concept...

(External Links- Ignore for now - not as importanta as the stuff further down on this page)
RE-THINKING: Startups? | Side Hustles? | Labels? | Definitions? | Perspectives? | Goals? | Optimistic vs. Realistic? & Positivity vs. Objectivity? | Risk/Reward? | Success Metrics? | Strategies? | Status Quo Bias?

WHAT IF WE... Change our Perspective on GOALS, BENEFITS, and SUCCESS METRICS associated with these “Products”...

… going beyond just sales, revenue, profit - perhaps to also include value more traditionally associated with CONTENT and MARKETING?? For example:

Lead Generation? Customer Discovery / A-B Testing? Brand Awareness? Brand Personality? Establishing Relevance / Expertise? Customer Entertainment / Engagement? Customer Loyalty / Evangelism? Boost Web Traffic? Gain Fans/Followers? Re-Targeting Data? — etc. etc.

C) WHAT IF WE… Change our perspective when calculating and evaluating costs (for Cost/Benefit Analysis?) and focus on AVERAGE COSTS (i.e. Cost per Product)?!?

Learning curves SUCK! Countless hours (and dollars) spent researching or coding or experimenting/testing via trial and error... but, once you finally figure it out!? The 2nd, 5th, 10th time (that you do almost anything!) is significantly easier, faster, cheaper than the first. So, Resources Required (dollars, hours, people, etc.) on a *PER PRODUCT* Basis are dramatically decreased — via #MultipleEggs in #MultipleBaskets benefiting from #SharedResources, #EconomiesOfScale, and Cross-Promotional #CollaborativeCompetitions!

*****

Launching/Testing TEN (10?!) PRODUCTS might sound RIDICULOUS...
And we agree — it is ridiculous — if, If, IF, *IF* each is being launched/tested individually (i.e., the "normal" way).

But... COLLECTIVELY??
As part of our Product-Content-Marketing-Whatever Network? Each benefiting from Shared Resources, Economies of Scale, and Cross-Promotional “Collaborative Competitions” -- for example, all TEN (10) collectively launched/managed via ONE (1) e-commerce account, ONE (1) MailChimp account, ONE (1) Google AdWords or Facebook/Instagram Ad account, ONE (1) Google Analytics account, ONE (1) Social Media manager, ONE (1) account / license / expenditure (and Learning Curve!) FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING [that would have required TEN (10) if they were launched individually!?]?!?

Your *PER PRODUCT* COSTS (money, time, etc.) are DRAMATICALLY REDUCED — making it no big deal if there is no significant revenue/profit resulting directly from any given product (or any 3, or 5, or 7, or even 9 of the 10 products?!)

D: And (easier said than done, but)... WHAT IF WE treat team-building like a coach might assemble an All-Star Team?

• When people are truly GREAT at something, they tend to not only be better, but also faster than most everyone else. In part because:
• Experienced experts often have no costly learning curves to struggle through (#BeenThereDoneThat)...
• Experienced (faster) experts arguably make PART-Time teams of ALL-STARS better than Full-Time teams of average 9-to-5ers...
• I've yet to see a startup fail because it launched in 4 months instead of 2, or in 6 months instead of 3. [I'm sure they exist, i've just never personally seen it.]
• PART-Time additions to unproven Idea Stage startups ("Starter Startups") are MUCH easier to pitch to potential team members or Co-Founders. In part because:
• *** IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING OPPORTUNITY COST (write this down!!)
• Going All-In / Full-Time (on a new Startup) is a HUGE RISK!
• Starting PART-Time ("Starter Startups") is LESS NETFLIX!

P.S. Speaking of All-Star teams that allow people to do (almost exclusively) what they are GREAT at... Almost everything WE do via The Whatever Network will apply some of OUR ViralWhatever.com EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, and LESSONS LEARNED...

EDITOR'S NOTE:
As unconventional as our approach may be, please try to keep in mind:

Since our creation of The Original Rejection Hotline (15+ years ago!), we have created 50+ VIRAL VENTURES that have collectively engaged 495+ MILLION people! We have also learned A LOT about VIRALITY (viral products, viral content, viral marketing), Viral Math, and VIRAL THINKING!! 

One such lesson is particularly relevant to our QUANTITY of products and the parts of our plan involving MANY potential partners via MULTIPLE types of "Pick-Your-Products" Programs...

The Product/Content/Marketing Categories Below are NOT in any particular order:

Products as Content as Marketing as...

A cross-promotional network (of 50+ online Tshirt businesses?!)... Managed COLLECTIVELY; Marketed INDIVIDUALLY (by ReThinkingStartups.com program participants / entrepreneurs, marketers, influencers, etc.), all benefiting from shared resources, pooled knowledge, #CollaborativeCompetitions, and...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER. 8 Categories, each with 8+ Individual Shirts:

1.) WordyShirty.com: Simple Concept. 1 Word per Shirt. Any Questions?
  .

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2. NumberWhatever.com - Numbers with Special Significance! 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4. FillInTheBlankShirts.com - Be sure to ask us about the viral premises for this one (as well as the A-B Testing of several very different ways for HOW to fill in the blanks)

MANY "Fill In The _____ Shirts" Concepts for You to Choose From!

P.S. And perhaps internal competitions where everyone picks one or a few: 

Always Be Yourself. (Unless You Can Be ______!) 
Life is _____!
YO_O... You Only _____ Once
XXL Property Of _______________
Don't Worry; Be ______________
If At First You Don't Succeed, ____________
Kiss Me, I'm __________
I'm With ____________
My _________ Went to ________ And All I Got Was This Damn Tshirt!
JUST _______ IT!
VOTE FOR _________
I [heart] __________.
Keep Calm And ________.
Straight Outta _________.
_________ AF!
My Spirit Animal Is _______.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

***But, remember, we're constantly A-B Testing EVERYTHING, so... 
Why not share resources, duplicate everything, and also test...


#MultipleEggs #MultipleBaskets #SharedResources #EconomiesOfScale #CompetingWhileCollaborating

P.S. And if we're already doing WingDings... and Binary... is it really THAT much extra time/effort to also do Morse Code? or Braille? or Chinese? or Russian? or...?

P.P.S. And if we're already creating/marketing ConfusingShirts.com, why not also use it as an umbrella to test 5, 10, or 20 other stand-alone concepts that could also make sense under that same theme of "Confusing"... 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A) www.SpelingShirts.com vs. B) www.SpellingShirts.com

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Note: It's not about these particular designs - it's about the drawing/coloring on shirts concept, the coloring book drawings on shirts, the Crayola potential, etc.

Re-Thinking: Business Cards and/or Postcards 
- as a smaller/cheaper alternative to traditional greeting cards?
- as a new (cheaper!) Creative Content Canvas? 
- as a mini Publishing Platform?!? 
- as a physical representation, or pass-around version, of internet memes?!

A:  Re-Thinking traditional GREETING CARDS...


NOTE: T-shirts are the most common canvas for commercialized creative expression... But, what if there was another canvas for creative commercial expression that was 1000x cheaper and easier to produce? 1000x lighter in weight for shipping? That fit easily in pockets, wallets, purses, and was easily distributed (as a hand-out, a leave-behind, slid under a door or into a locker, etc.)?   

B, C, D, E, F... "Business Cards" as a new/cheap/mini content canvas:
Humor, Art, Social Movements, FYI Messages, Political Statements, Random Nonsense, Inspiration/Motivation... anything you've seen on t-shirts (or online image memes?!), we're gonna put it on cards! Will they ALL catch on and/or go viral? Of course not! But we're pretty good at creating/understanding viral content - and we can distribute a THOUSAND cards, for the same cost as ONE Tshirt! And every card is simultaneously: the product, the content, AND the marketing - ALL IN ONE!

100+ Varieties Ready For Launch (100,000+ cards in physical inventory)... 100+ New (Better!) Designs Coming Soon -- IN NEED OF DESIGNER PARTNER/CO-FOUNDER/ETC.

MINI Greeting Cards  |  Motivation  |  Reminders & Notifications  |  Functional / Useful  |  Humor (PG)  |  Confusing  |  Rated-R (YouGotCarded.com)  |  Miscellaneous  |  ALL

We're kinda RE-Thinking "Memes" as MORE than just INTERNET Memes... Introducing MEMES IN REAL LIFE?!?

WHATEVER!!

2. Spend a Dollar... 
to Send Messages to Dead Friends or Relatives?!?
(wait, what?!?)

  

3. Spend a Dollar... 
to CONFESS YOUR SINS?!?

(And Receive a "Get Out of Hell, Free" GUARANTEE?!?) 

 4. Spend a Dollar... 
to SEND SOMEONE AN EMPTY ENVELOPE! 
(wait, what?! - and WHY?!)

5. Spend a Dollar... 
to help SAVE THE PENNIES?!?

6. Spend a Dollar... to instantly (literally!?) BECOME A MILLIONAIRE!

Created back in the early 2000's, THE REJECTION HOTLINE® was a funny fake phone number ("Hello, this is not the person you were trying to reach...") and it was the start of a million-dollar viral content company with 300+ "HUMOR HOTLINES" that collectively received 475 MILLION phone calls and earned us a loyal fanbase of1.8 Million opted-in subscribers (emails and sms)... Sadly, we were forced to sell off the 2500+ phone numbers and shut down the company in 2014 :(
BUT...  a comeback of sorts is now underway as part of AudioWhatever.com & The WHATEVER Network!  

PART-Time Partners needed to test / re-launch / manage / market (one, some, or all of) the following:

C) MANY Motivation Cards! (and subscription ideas - particularly for "Office Moms" or community leaders or you know the type, the overly peppy "Happy Monday!" people :)

D. This seems as a good a place as any to mention that we have ~100 yet-to-be-released video teasers for many of the concepts on this page.

F. Kinda the complete opposite of motivation, but one of our columns that I think is super-important to get people to understand is: 

“NEVER QUIT!” is Great Motivational Advice - IN SPORTS. (Because "NEVER" = "MINUTES" for ATHLETES). But... Holy Shit! Please stop "encouraging" ENTREPRENEURS to "NEVER QUIT"... That is reckless / dangerous advice when “NEVER” is YEARS or… FOREVER!?! [Good motivational advice from sports is literally RUINING LIVES in Startups!] [Full column]

A) Some legitimately serious concepts, for example this one, which is closer to a "more traditional tech startup" - albeit with a more non-traditional twist:

B. Some "Serious-Yet-Also-Fun" ones:

 C. And some "Not-So-Serious" (And "NOT-SO-SAFE-FOR-WORK")

Below is JUST ONE example of our "Multiple Eggs / Multiple Baskets" approach (how we plan to re-use the same resources, processes, technology, whatever to launch/test MANY "Starter Startups!" - while simultaneously RE-THINKING traditional perspectives... on Startups? Side Hustles? Labels? Goals? Success Metrics? Status Quo Bias?)

INDIVIDUALLY...
NONE of the concepts below probably make much sense to pursue...

HOWEVER, it's a totally different story - and a key part of our "Whatever Network" Master Plan - if you take all the costs FOR THE FIRST ONE (both dollars and, even more valuable, all the TIME - spent learning, building, testing, tweaking, optimizing, etc.) and divide all those dollars and hours by TEN (10 DIFFERENT MVP TESTS!)... Forget about just "A-B Testing" - this is more like A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-TESTING!

Try to experience each one individually and try to temporarily forget that you know about all the others. We will have different teams/people marketing each concept in different ways, to different audiences - so a first time visitor will not be distracted by "oh, this is just one of many"

WHATEVER Categories for Internal Organization Purposes

“Whatever” Categories — primarily just for internal organizational purposes

1. TheWhateverNetwork.com
   A Cross-Promotional Collection of Resource-Sharing [WHATEVER!]  —  Products, Services, Viral Content, Social Movements, Charitable Causes, Entrepreneur Experiments, Side Hustles, Starter Startups… all benefiting from shared resources, economies of scale, and additional ReThinkingStartups.com strategies!  
2. ReThinkingWhatever.com
   The unifying theme tying together StartupWhatever.com and The Whatever Network… 
   Just because [whatever] exists one way, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved upon — or re-imagined entirely!! We are kinda obsessed with this idea! [ReThinking Terminology & Definitions, ReThinking Processes & Methodologies, ReThinking Startups & Side Hustles, ReThinking Products As Content As Marketing As WHATEVER!!!]
3. AudioWhatever.com
   300+ pieces of viral audio content, originally part of a million-dollar company (The Rejection Hotline & 300+ Humor Hotlines’ phone numbers that collectively received 475 MILLION phone calls!) Sadly, the company shut down in 2014. But a comeback of sorts is now underway!
    — Partners needed to test / run / manage / market (one, some, or all of) the following: 12+ Free Humor Hotlines, 12+ Premium Humor Hotlines, 12+ Free MP3 downloads, 12+ $0.99 MP3 downloads, 12+ AudioWTF micro-sites, 12+ AudioWhatever Category Sites… 300+ tracks via SoundCloud, 300+ tracks on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, etc. (via TuneCore?), Premium Service: Packages or Subscriptions, Premium Service: Private/personal Hotline #s, Premium Service: CUSTOM Hotline #s… 
4. CardWhatever.com
   Re-Thinking: Business Cards
   - as a smaller/cheaper alternative to traditional greeting cards?
   - as a new (cheaper!) Creative Content Canvas? 
   - as a mini Publishing Platform?!? 
   - as a physical representation, pass-around version, of internet memes?!
5. TshirtWhatever.com
   NO, we do NOT think t-shirts are a good business idea (overly-crowded space, no barriers to entry, etc.). HOWEVER… 
   A) our “Products as Content as Marketing” philosophy creates value beyond sales, 
   B) Tshirts are an easy, no-risk way to test MANY ReThinkingStartups.com strategies & marketing initiatives —
   D) plus we do have a few new outside-the-bulb “ReThinking Tshirts” concepts we’ve been sitting on for a while!
6. PennyWhatever.com
   A perfect application of ViralWhatever.com learnings (from our 40+ INDIVIDUAL Humor Hotlines going viral, despite the COLLECTION of 300 hotlines simply serving as a shared resources / inventory management page). 100+ Penny designs — MANAGED COLLECTIVELY / MARKETED INDIVIDUALLY!
7. ViralWhatever.com
   Workshops, Experiments, Viral Thinking applied to ALL our efforts… Then, once we have 6 to 10 good team members on board, we are going to test/launch MANY new Viral Marketing campaigns!
8. CharityWhatever.com
   Several Charity-focused initiatives (ask us about them!!) PLUS, all our PARTNERS will get to PICK the charity beneficiary of the products for which they are the first or primary partner on! 
   [Pick Your Product / Choose Your Charity / Manage, Market, Monetize]
9. PhoneWhatever.com
   MANY current and future phone related ventures!!! Both humor-based (the natural continuation HumorHotlines.com — our original 7-figure, viral content company) AND real/serious (non-humor) services utilizing our telecom knowledge/resources… 
   Twilio and Plivo developers — contact us!!
10. MarketingWhatever.com
    MANY Marketing programs, initially to help market all of OUR stuff (and help us identify great marketers, influencers, and team members!), but the more successful programs can then be spun off into real “starter startups” themselves if we think we can provide real value to OTHERS!
11. DollarWhatever.com
    Can you really buy anything cool for just a dollar?? YES, YES YOU CAN!!! We will start slowly but eventually we will have 100+ products for $1.00 or less! (Actually, it’ll probably be 1000+ products if we also include individual CardWhatever.com and AudioWhatever.com products that start at $1.00. TBD whether those will be included or not.)
12. CheapFunWhatever.com
    The category/collection for our products that are not shirts or cards or audio or hotlines — To be determined whether DollarWhatever.com products will be included here (since $1.00 IS cheap) or if we will keep the two separated and CheapFunWhatever.com is basically everything starting at $1.01… TBD
13. RelationshipWhatever.com
    This is a tricky one… because we have a REAL (potentially-game-changing?!) startup concept (JustIntros.com) intended to compete with dating apps and professional matchmakers — but we also have some funny/immature and/or R-Rated relationship products/content/jokes… Not quite sure yet how we walk that line of not making our real venture seem like a joke when it’s positioned with RejectionHotline.com or YouGotGhosted.com or AdviceBeforeDates.com … Stay tuned!
14. MiscellaneousWhatever.com
    As much as I want all of our stuff to fit perfectly into easily-categorized buckets, there still exist many that our just too random or “other”… they will be housed/managed via the MiscellaneousWhatever.com team
15. DumbWhatever.com
    Look, not all our stuff is on a high intellectual level… this is a collection of stuff that is really really dumb (possibly even immature, maybe r-rated, hopefully not offensive, but no promises!)
16. GiftWhatever.com
    Someone will run this site and just pick and choose which of our hundreds of products could be classified as “Gifts of Mom” or “Graduation gifts” or “Gifts for $1.00?!?”
17. MonthlyWhatever.com
    The hope is that every month we will have featured Gift Whatever and Dollar Whatever and Tshirt Whatever and Audio Whatever and Card Whatever and … etc. — each with discounts on that Monthly Whatever!
18. ImageWhatever.com / StickerWhatever.com 
    — several concepts for each, but primarily will be images (free downloads?) and stickers (paid product?) with much of the same image-based content as our CardWhatever.com categories
19. MotivationWhatever.com, AnimalWhatever.com, FoodWhatever.com, NumberWhatever.com, etc. etc. 
    Many topic-specific ways to group our products/content/marketing/whatever
