How long does it take to complete the BOD™ Programs?

With over 50 hours of core programming, watching the video training is just the beginning. We strongly recommend you take one course at a time, implementing as you go, while working on real projects. On average, members require a minimum of one year to effectively learn and implement the complete BOD™ business model. However, if you implement as you go, you will see results from the very first system you implement.

I don’t live in Canada or the US. Will the BOD™ systems work for me?

Yes. Thousands of design professionals around the world are using the BOD™ systems and strategies, exactly as prescribed, to run successful, profitable businesses. We have members in over 60 Countries.

Do I get immediate access to the BOD™ 15?

Yes. You gain immediate access to all BOD™ Programs, including the full BOD™ 15 Step Project Management Strategy, a 20-hour Certification program.

Can I work at my own pace or is content scheduled?

Learning is delivered in video modules that you can work through at your own pace. All content is available immediately, but we recommend working through each course and module in order, taking one course at a time and implementing as you go.

What forms and templates are included with membership?

Too many to list. Each program includes all of the forms and templates needed to implement the systems you’re learning, from the consultation summary to the form used to hire cleaners on the job site, and the Trade Day schedule to purchase order forms. Contracts are available outside of membership, but we recommend learning the systems first, then purchasing the contract to support those systems. You can’t stand behind your contract until you are using the systems it enforces.

What support will I get as a BOD™ Member?

As a member of Business of Design®, you can reach out to Cheryl Horne, Director of all things BOD™, if you have any questions about your membership, the BOD™ programs, or how to connect with the community. Her number one focus is you. In addition, you’ll gain access to the BOD™ Members Only Facebook Community and be invited to join in our monthly BOD™ LIVE member coaching calls.

Do I get access to Kimberley for coaching?

As a BOD™ member you can join Kimberley and your fellow BOD™ members for monthly BOD™ Live coaching calls to ask your most pressing questions.

Can I cancel my membership at any time?

Yes. You can cancel your membership at any time prior to renewal while maintaining access for the remainder of your term. Once a renewal payment has been processed, it is non-refundable. Members have full access to cancel within their account.
