Getting Paid for Interior Designers — A Proven System for Invoicing, Collections & Cash Flow

A Business That Gets Paid, Thrives. A Designer Who Gets Paid, Succeeds.

Learn the exact system to invoice confidently, eliminate awkward money conversations, and get paid on time — every time.

The BOD™ Getting Paid program gives you a clear, repeatable, professional system to confidently manage billing, fee collection, and cash flow. No more chasing clients. No more working without compensation. No more feeling uncomfortable asking for what you’re owed.

This is how healthy, profitable design businesses operate.
