Interior designer firm principals (owners)  whether sole practitioners or principals of 30+ person firms. ActionMaps has been used by designers at every stage, from relaunching after a sabbatical to scaling a multi-person firm.  What matters isn't where you are. It's whether you're ready to make deliberate choices about where you're going.

If you were starting a tech firm in Silicon Valley, the first thing a potential investor would ask you is what's your strategy. So, of course the ActionMap can be a tool for a startup, but far more common are the practices with $300,000 to $3 million in annual sales. 

Each Monday you'll receive that week's assignment by email. You work through it on your own, at your own pace, during the week. Then we meet for 30 minutes, usually on a Wednesday or Thursday.  The first half is you walking me through your progress, the second half is me previewing the following week and answering your questions. There's no homework to submit in advance — the call itself is the submission. Each call is monitored by an AI note-taking app and reviewed by me and additional AI "minds." What you receive on Mondays will be a detailed analysis of the work you've done to that point. 

First of all, David Shepherd is not a "coach." That implies someone who thinks they know what you should do and works to motivate you to do that specific thing. David is a consultant, which is someone who undertakes thorough research and analysis on your business, and then works to make your business more suited to your goals. I don't want you to do things "my way." I want to help you discover "your way" so that you will have the energy and enthusiasm to implement your winning ActionMap strategy.
