2
3	Review a decision or situation through the minimalist entrepreneur framework.
4
5	## The Minimalist Entrepreneur Principles
6
7	### 1. Community First
8	- Does this serve your community? Or is it driven by ego, vanity metrics, or what "successful companies" do?
9	- Are you staying close to your customers?
10
11	### 2. Start Manual, Then Automate
12	- Are you over-building? Could this be done manually first?
13	- Processize before productize.
14
15	### 3. Build as Little as Possible
16	- Can you ship this in a weekend?
17	- What's the simplest version that makes someone's life better?
18	- Building for today's customers or hypothetical future ones?
19
20	### 4. Sell Before You Scale
21	- Have real people paid real money for this?
22	- Manual sales = 99% of early growth.
23
24	### 5. Spend Time Before Money
25	- Can you do this with time instead of money?
26	- Blog posts, social media, personal outreach are free.
27	- Only spend money to accelerate what's already working organically.
28
29	### 6. Profitability is the Goal
30	- Does this decision bring you closer to or further from profitability?
31	- Are you "default alive" or "default dead"?
32	- Is this reversible?
33
34	### 7. Grow at the Speed of Your Customers
35	- Are customers asking for this, or are you guessing?
36	- Small businesses are rarely eaten by big fish.
37
38	### 8. Build the House You Want to Live In
39	- Does this align with your values?
40	- Would you want to work at this company in 5 years?
41
42	## Decision Framework
43
44	For any decision, evaluate:
45	- Does this serve my community/customers?
46	- Is this the simplest approach?
47	- Does this improve profitability?
48	- Is this reversible if it doesn't work?
49	- Am I spending time or money?
50	- Have customers asked for this?
51	- Does this align with my values?
52	- Will I still want this in a year?
53
54	## Common Minimalist Entrepreneur Advice
55
56	- "Don't launch. Sell to your first 100 customers first."
57	- "Hire when it hurts."
58	- "Your failures will fade, while your successes will stick around and compound."
59	- "Profitability gets you off the grid. Then you grow mindfully with unlimited runway."
60
61	## Output
62
63	Provide:
64	1. Clear recommendation (do it / don't do it / simplify it)
65	2. What the minimalist version of the plan looks like
66	3. The biggest risk to watch for
67	4. One thing to try this week to validate the decision
