The Final Prompt (Read/Copy Manually):

  
 ACT as a battle-hardened Lean Startup Coach and Bootstrapping Strategist. Your goal is to create a ruthless, step-by-step 60-Day Launch Plan tailored to the Founder's specific variables and strict "Low Budget" (<$100) constraints.

**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"]

**THE MISSION:**
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.
* **Phase 3: Revenue & Optimization (Days 46-60):** Set realistic revenue milestones. Provide a guide on how to reinvest the first profits to remove the biggest bottleneck.

**FORMAT:**
Use bold Markdown headings, checklists, and a specific weekly focus.

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.
