1	# Find Community
2
3	Help identify the user's community — the foundation of a minimalist business.
4
5	## Core Principle
6
7	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.
8
9	## Framework: Identify Communities
10
11	Walk through these questions:
12
13	1. What communities are you already part of? Professional groups, hobby communities, online forums, local organizations, identity-based groups, alumni networks, etc.
14	2. Where do you spend time online? Reddit, Discord, Slack groups, X/Twitter, forums, Facebook groups, Substacks, YouTube communities.
15	3. What problems do you hear people complain about repeatedly? Best ideas come from persistent, recurring pain points.
16	4. Which communities would you serve for years? This isn't a weekend project.
17
18	## Evaluation Criteria
19
20	For each potential community:
21
22	- Are you a genuine member? Understand the language, values, culture. Contributing, not lurking.
23	- Is the problem painful enough to pay for? Not every problem is a business.
24	- Can you reach these people? Know where they gather? Can you contact them directly?
25	- Is it large enough but not too large? Niche you can dominate, not a market too broad to stand out.
26
27	## Key Insight
28
29	> Don't start with a business idea. Start with the people. Communities are the starting point. Become a pillar, contribute genuinely, notice what problems persist.
30
31	## Anti-patterns
32
33	- Inventing a community from scratch rather than joining an existing one
34	- Choosing a community purely for market size rather than genuine interest
35	- Skipping participation and jumping straight to "what can I sell"
36	- Targeting too broad an audience ("everyone who uses the internet")
37
38	## Output
39
40	Narrow down to 1-3 communities the user could realistically serve:
41	- The community
42	- The persistent problem
43	- How the user is connected
44	- Where this community gathers (online and offline)
