This repository hosts the second edition of "One-Person Business Methodology" (一人企业方法论), a Chinese-language book written by "Easy" (easychen) about how a single person can build and run a scalable online business. The book is approximately 60,000 Chinese characters and is available to read online, download as an e-book, or compile yourself using an e-book build tool.

The book is not limited to software developers — it also addresses non-technical people who want to create side businesses such as digital products, e-commerce, or content-based businesses (like newsletters or social media). It covers topics including how to plan a one-person business, pick the right market, build structured competitive advantages, manage risk, create digital products or services, and set up the business infrastructure needed to reach customers and collect payments.

The second edition expands the first version from an essay into a complete methodology book, and adds chapters on building products from scratch and setting up business infrastructure, bridging the gap between theory and practical action. The author also built an AI-powered business simulation tool so readers can practice applying the methodology in a sandbox environment before committing to real-world decisions.
