Small Business Handbook
One of the biggest friction points for founders when delegating, pitching investors, or planning for succession is they don’t have an operating system in place for the next person to succeed.
I’m sharing my template with you.
It’s the first thing I create when setting up a small business OS for clients.

MEET The builder
Welcome
My name is Melissa. I design and build Notion templates and workspaces for service-based small business owners.
I grew up as an early adopter of technology. The daughter of a consultant for small businesses specializing in local networks, IT support, and accounting software.
I discovered Notion in 2020. After the initial learning period, I become an enthusiast who shares it with friends and peers. I use it to collaborate, create, delegate and manage business and personal projects.
In 2021, I migrated almost all of my workflow from other platforms to Notion. In the process, I reduced subscription costs and centralized work. That same year, I started building custom small business OS for clients and their teams. A la “virtual office”.
In 2025, I launched templates on Notion Marketplace. The most popular template to date is the Executive Support dashboard.
As a leadership + operations coach, I understand design and function are equally important for creative businesses. Notion blends the traditional and modern to allow you to create a system uniquely yours.
Built for excellence in professional and personal life.
