Best of all, it’s FREE!
Step 1 — Knowledge
Take advantage of the FREE book offer and start mastering the basic business practices that are key to your success. As you'll learn in the book, these skills are often NOT the ones your CPA, lawyer and other advisors have lead you to believe.
Step 2 — Put Knowledge to Work
Hundreds of pieces of information, no matter how valuable, are like puzzle pieces strewn across a table top until they are brought together into a single finished model. In the world of business, this is called a "strategy" and it's the single most important thing you must get right.
That's really all you need to achieve your highest business and professional goals—knowledge, and a way to put it to work. Let's build your bright and successful business together!

Interior Design is an Incredibly Complex Business
Interior design is one of the most complex businesses on earth to run. Many practitioners are simultaneously trying to run a time billing, resale, and project management firm. Any one of those would be challenging enough. To succeed, you'll need a simple and compelling strategy.
Complexity Kills Profits
Complexity also kills enthusiasm, and it is the natural result of a complex business like yours. Only a clear, written strategy can tame complexity.
20+ Years of Proof
David Shepherd has created strategic plans for interior designers creating compounds for billionaires, and sole practitioners working part-time.
Just 1% is HUGE!
A 1% increase in your sales (if it's the right type of income) can 10X your profits and accumulate to 6-7 figures over time. Now, imagine a 5% increase!

CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS; CHANGE YOUR LIFE
David showed me how to gain control of my business. Perhaps the best part is that once I had created a clear and compelling strategy, my business was simpler and actually fun again!
Amanda Martin
Interior Designer
I felt like sort of a fraud. I was designing incredible projects for tech billionaires (you would know their names!) yet had lost control of my business and didn't know if I was rich or poor! Working through the ActionMaps process with David was life-changing. Now I know...I'm rich!
Stefan Johnson
Architect/Interior Designer
I was in such a slump and didn't know why I felt frustrated and overwhelmed. I scarcely had any time to design. Working in a small group along with David, I created the most exciting strategic plan I could have imagined. Once again, I love what I do and feeling like I am doing my best work...and getting paid for it!
