Challenge - Find the Opportunity

[phlgirl]

Ok, so I have to admit, I am a bit fascinated by 'The Mark Cuban Stimulas Plan'. In fact, lately, I find myself applying it to everything I come across.

We had a strange offer today (completely random). My husband's name is Mike and someone, almost jokingly, asked him if he would like to takeover the phone number '1-800-ASK-MIKE'. It was another guy, named Mike, who said that he bought it years ago but just never came up with anything to do with it.

Over lunch, a few of us were throwing around ideas about what one might be able to do with such a number. It was fun.

It made me think of the Cuban deal because it is certainly replicable. There are tons of 1-800-ASK-XXXXs available and each one could be used nationwide or regionally.

I do like Cubans rules of it needing to be cash-flow break even in 60 days and profitable within 90 days.

Anyone have creative thoughts? I know some of you guys/gals are great at this stuff.
