Claude for business owners

Learn Claude for your business, one working system per lesson.

Solo Not Small teaches the Claude setups I run my own work on: Projects that already know your business, skills that keep your voice, and a system for each job you would otherwise hire for.

Prompting versus systems

Most people use Claude like a search box. Solo Not Small sets it up like staff.

A prompt helps once. A system keeps working every week. Here is the difference across the five things that decide whether AI saves you real time.

The jobPrompting each timeA system built once
ContextYou paste your background into every new chatA Claude Project holds it, so every chat starts informed
VoiceOutput sounds like everyone else using the same toolA voice file trained on your writing checks every draft
Repeat workYou rewrite the same instruction each weekA skill stores the instruction once and runs it on request
QualityYou catch mistakes only if you happen to rereadA checklist inside the Project reviews the draft first
TimeSaves minutes on a good dayRemoves a whole job from your week

Try it

Which Claude system should you build first?

Tick what is true about your business today. The panel tells you where to start and reorders the ten lessons around what you need most. Nothing is saved or sent.

Inside a Claude Project

One Project per job, each one already briefed.

Lesson 02 is where Claude stops being a stranger. You give each job its own Project with your files, your rules and your past work, so every new chat starts from what you already know.

Lesson 02 · 0:27One Claude Project per job
Lesson 02 · 0:22Write it once

An example: what one Project can hold

  • Project: LinkedIn posts
    • about-me.md who I am, who I serve
    • voice-dna.md how I write, words I avoid
    • best-posts/ ten posts that worked
    • rules.md the checks every draft must pass
    • skill: draft-from-notes

The same pattern repeats for research, proposals, website copy and follow-ups. You build it once and use it every week.

Being found

Systems that put your name where clients look.

Half the lessons are about being found: on LinkedIn, on Google and in AI answers. These three short videos show the thinking behind lessons 04 and 06.

Lesson 06 · Found on Google and ChatGPT
The fix is almost never more posting.
Lesson 04 · Likes don't pay rent
The story is mine. AI just edits it.
Lesson 04 · Not a strategy
Posting every day on LinkedIn is not a strategy. It's a treadmill.

Questions

Learning Claude for business, answered.

Do I need a paid Claude plan for Solo Not Small?

Yes. The systems use Claude Projects and skills, which need a paid plan. You also need a laptop; a phone is not enough to set them up.

Is Solo Not Small for developers?

No. It is for people who run a business. There is no code. You build every system by writing instructions in plain English, and each lesson shows the setup on screen.

How is learning Claude here different from free tutorials?

Free tutorials teach prompts. Solo Not Small teaches systems tied to real business jobs, built in the order I use them, and you keep each system after the lesson.

Can I use ChatGPT or Gemini instead?

The lessons are recorded in Claude and use its Projects and skills. Some ideas carry over to other tools, but the setups are shown for Claude only.

Where do I see every lesson?

On solonotsmall.com. Each lesson is listed with the system it sets up, plus the nine ebooks and the starter kit.

Set Claude up once. Use it every working day.

Every lesson and every bonus is listed on solonotsmall.com.
