How to Build Your Solo Business HQ in Notion (Without Overwhelm) 🚀
If you’re running a solo business, you probably have tasks in one app, client notes in another, content ideas in random docs, and money tracking somewhere else. As your business grows, that scattered setup quietly kills your focus and momentum.
Notion can absolutely be the central HQ for your solopreneur business, but only if you set it up with a clear structure that matches how you actually work. This guide shows you how to turn Notion into a simple, powerful Solo Business HQ that runs your tasks, projects, clients, content, and money all from one place.
Why Solopreneurs Need One Notion HQ 💡
Most solopreneurs don’t struggle because they lack ideas or motivation—they struggle because their business is scattered across too many tools. A single Notion workspace changes that by giving you:
One place for tasks and projects…
A light CRM for clients and leads…
A content and SEO hub…
When everything lives inside one Notion HQ, you spend less time hunting for information and more time doing the work that actually moves your business forward.
Step 1 – Create Your Solo Business Dashboard 🏠
Start by creating a top-level page in Notion called something like “Solo Business HQ”. This becomes your everyday home base. Add your four core databases: Tasks, Projects, Clients, Money. Then include a focused “Today” and “This Week” view so you open Notion and see only what matters now.
Step 2 – Build a Task & Project System That Matches How You Work 🗂️
Set up one master task database with properties like Area, Priority, Due Date, and Status. Connect it to a Projects database so every project becomes its own mini-hub. Create views such as “By Priority”, “By Area”, and a content-only pipeline to stay focused.
Step 3 – Add a Simple CRM for Clients and Leads 🤝
Create a Clients database with name, offer, stage, deal value, next action, and notes. Link it to Projects and Tasks to see all work related to each client. Add a Kanban view grouped by Stage so your pipeline is always clear and visible.
Step 4 – Turn Notion into Your Content & SEO Hub ✍️
Centralize your content ideas and publishing workflow in a Content database with fields for type, keyword, funnel stage, status, and publish date. Add a Calendar view and filtered views for upcoming posts or SEO-aligned pieces. Link content to the projects or offers it supports.
Step 5 – Keep an Eye on Money and Metrics 📊
Create a Money database to track income, expenses, offers, and clients. Add a mini dashboard to your HQ showing revenue, top offers, and recurring expenses. It’s not meant to replace accounting tools—just to give you a clear pulse on your business performance.
Avoiding Notion Overwhelm (So You Actually Stick With It) ⚠️
Don’t over-engineer from day one. Start with the essentials, build only the views you truly use, and keep a short weekly review ritual. Your HQ should stay clear, simple, and functional—not another digital mess.
