Briefing Document: Build Your Wolfpack - Infinite Game and Related Concepts

Overall Theme:

The core concept revolves around "Build Your Wolfpack," a multifaceted platform designed to foster entrepreneurship, community, and personal growth through a combination of gaming, business education, and real-world application. It emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and a "fail fast, learn often" approach to building businesses. The framework appears to be a solution to the creator Dom's personal search for fulfilling endeavors, and his observation that many professionals lack hobbies or post-retirement plans.

Key Components & Ideas:

The "Build Your Wolfpack: Infinite Game":A tabletop game designed to simulate the startup process, allowing players to pitch ideas, secure investments, and form alliances.
The goal is to double an initial investment, promoting a practical understanding of business fundamentals.
The game includes product/service cards, target market selection, pricing strategies, and investment opportunities.
It encourages collaboration and partnerships: "Player or teams can also collaborate and form partnerships to help each other succeed."
"The game ends when one player or team successfully doubles their initial $300 investment."
Game mechanics are tied to real-world business activities (Ideation, Market Research, Competitive Analysis, Branding, Marketing Plan, etc.) represented as spaces on the game board.
The "Psycho-Wolf Method":A philosophy focused on learning from the past, planning for the future, and acting in the present.
Emphasizes identifying the end goal, conducting post-mortems (analyzing potential failures), and focusing on "Day One" tasks.
"If Depression is living in the past… Anxiety is fear of uncertainty of the future…Than the goal is to learn from the past plan for the future and live in and Act in the now."
