**INPUT VARIABLES (THE CONTEXT):**
1. **INDUSTRY:** [INDUSTRY — e.g., “SEO consulting”, “wedding photography”, “AI services”]
2. **SKILLS/EXPERTISE:** [SKILLS — list 3–5 strengths relevant to the business]
3. **HOURS AVAILABLE:** [HOURS PER WEEK — e.g., 5, 10, 20 hours]
4. **BUSINESS MODEL:** [MODEL — service-based / digital products / content / hybrid]
5. **TARGET AUDIENCE:** [TARGET AUDIENCE — e.g., "Local homeowners", "Global SaaS companies"]
6. **HARD CONSTRAINTS:** [CONSTRAINTS — e.g., "no social media", "no cold outreach", "online only"]

Based on the inputs above, generate a chronological **60-Day Battle Plan**:
* **Phase 1: Validation & Low-Cost Setup (Days 1-15):** Identify the essential "Low Budget" tech stack (under $100 total) tailored to the [MODEL]. Define a "Minimum Viable Offer" that respects the [CONSTRAINTS].
* **Phase 2: Acquisition Strategy (Days 16-45):** Design a marketing strategy to reach the [TARGET AUDIENCE] that aligns with the [HOURS AVAILABLE]. *Crucial:* If [CONSTRAINTS] forbids a channel (e.g., cold outreach), provide a high-impact alternative.

Why This Works
This prompt creates a highly personalized strategy by treating your limitations as design features, not bugs.
The “Constraint” Filter: By including the [CONSTRAINTS] variable, the AI filters out strategies you hate (e.g., “Make TikToks”) and replaces them with ones you’ll actually do (e.g., “SEO Blogging”), ensuring high adherence to the plan.
Model-Specific Logic: The [MODEL] variable forces the AI to distinguish between selling time (Service) and selling assets (Digital Products), adjusting the setup phase accordingly (e.g., Portfolio website vs. Gumroad store).
Location Intelligence: Adding [TARGET AUDIENCE] ensures the marketing advice is spatially correct—suggesting “Google My Business” for local targets vs. “LinkedIn Sales Nav” for global B2B.
| Variable | Explanation for the Entrepreneur |
[INDUSTRY] |
The niche you are entering. |
[SKILLS] |
Your unfair advantages to leverage. |
[HOURS PER WEEK] |
Your honest time budget. |
[MODEL] |
Service: Selling time/skills. Product: Selling templates/files. Content: Selling attention/ads. |
[TARGET AUDIENCE] |
Local: Nearby physical clients. Global: Internet-based clients. |
[CONSTRAINTS] |
What you absolutely will not do (e.g., cold calling, showing face on camera). |
How to Customize
The “Introvert” Pivot: Set Constraints to: No video, no phone calls, text-based communication only. The AI will build a plan focused on writing, email marketing, and SEO.
The “Side Hustle” Sprint: Set Hours to 5 hours and Model to Digital Products. The plan will focus heavily on automation and passive traffic sources rather than high-touch client work.
The “Hyper-Local” Win: Set Target Audience to Neighbors in my zip code and Industry to Pet Care. The plan will focus on Nextdoor, flyers, and local partnerships.
