find-community
Guide the user toward finding their community — the foundation of a minimalist business.
Core Principle
Start with community, not with a product idea. The best minimalist businesses are built by people already deeply embedded in a community who notice a problem worth solving. You don't "find" a community — you already belong to several.
Framework: Identify Your Communities
Walk the user through these questions:
-
What communities are you already a part of? Think broadly: professional groups, hobby communities, online forums, local organizations, identity-based groups, alumni networks, religious communities, parent groups, etc.
-
Where do you spend your time online? Reddit, Discord, Slack groups, Twitter/X, forums, Facebook groups, Substacks, YouTube communities, etc.
-
What problems do you hear people complain about repeatedly? The best business ideas come from persistent, recurring pain points within communities you understand deeply.
-
Which of these communities would you be excited to serve for years? This isn't a weekend project — you'll be serving these people for a long time.
