I understand there are always haters, but I am still surprised that you get hate. There is nothing to hate on, they're jealous. Your channel is excellent! So authentic and inspiring!
Awe you’re so sweet. Thank you! It’s a weird feeling when there hate because I’m always trying to be positive, work hard, and share authentically. Normally it doesn’t bother me at all but I just had to address it in this one video. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼❤️
@@KarinBohn Thanks for the response! I'll tell you this, I am self employed Realtor and interior stylist/stager in Texas. In Sept, I broke my toe so badly I had to cancel my 35th bday trip to Switzerland and miss also working as a stylist on a new HGTV show (luckily only missed one episode). Anyway, I was stuck in bed & DEPRESSED!!!!! Like badly. I found your channel and loved the design vids, but SOAKED up the biz advice and entrepreneurship lessons. So THANK YOU & keep 'em coming! :-)
Well said! ☺️💚
Waiting for the "bohnafide" video...the home tour. 😊
Another one is coming soon... I promise! 💋
@@KarinBohn me too.. lookin' forward.
@@KarinBohn so excited!!!😍😍😍
Yes....pleasssseee
Yes!!! 👌😍
If you have haters, that means that you're doing something right.
Hi, Karin. I am an Architect from the Philippines and I just want to say that your videos inspire me so much to do good things. I love all your contents. Never boring. You are truly an epitome of success. I wish you'd come visit the Philippines. :) xoxo.
Thank you for watching my channel. I’m so thrilled to hear that you love my content and it’s never boring! J would love to come to the Philippines on day! ❤️
Another inspired Filipino here! 🙋😍
I just got accepted to Interior Design school this week and I'd just like to say thank you. Thank you for inspiring others and thank you for showing us your journey. Much love xoxo
That’s amazing!!! Congratulations!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I m working as a global strategic buyer for one of the largest food company in the world based in Malaysia . When u asked what’s my job satisfaction , sadly to say, I was just having the same dialogue with my colleague about that 1 hour ago , as I m turning 40 , I started to loose the passion in my profession and none of the major projects I m doing excites me anymore , i started to loose my job satisfaction, it becomes repetition and my job has become a job that pays the bill . Sad to say ...I have follow your video for a while , and felt connected to your channel n your character , started to think about doing a part time diploma in interior design ( a career path that I didn’t pursue when I graduated from high school , as I wasn’t sure back then if I should do interior design or international business study in my tertiary study and I chose the latter because of job security reason ) After years of working , I find that my passion and interests in design had no faded away and I m still like Design a lot , and did my own house with my own ideas and turns out everyone likes it ) . I am thinking of doing an interior design part time course and further develop my skills and see where all this leads me to . Wish me luck and once again Karin your video inspired me to reach out my dreams - if you want something - go and get it . I had the same problem - I can’t wake up early , but I will try harder and update you when I manage to rise early ! 😜 thanks again for all the encouragement n positivities from your channels 🥰🥰
Hi Kathy, would you like to connect my real estate agency with potential buyers in your region that could be interested on investing in Miami's exclusive residences or Mexican colorful housing. Send me an email to alejandroaramis@icloud.com or ibrqmx on Instagram. Hopefully you can get to travel more often and find a more active and enriching networking job. Stay strong!
Hi Kathy, really resonate with your story. I'm an Interior Design enthusiast but sadly I have only done it as a hobby not a profession. Like you, I also lost the passion to my job (Human Resources) a long time ago and I'm only here for the pay check. The job is not motivating and very repetitive. However, i decided to start an Interior design blog and write about my home projects, DIY, inspiration etc etc Maybe soon I can venture into the Interior Design field permanently.
I guess anyone who is on TH-cam will get haters. I don’t get why people put energy into trying to putothers down when they could put that same energy into something productive to better themselves. I LOVED that Mexico vacay video of yours. I have yet to travel outside the United States (other than Canada) but through your video I was afforded the opportunity to dream and for that I’m so grateful to you!...I am an Etsy shop entrepreneur I sale printable quotes and am designing a collection of planner stickers and Christian inspirational greeting cards, planners and journals! The only thing I currently make money on is the printable quotes but I am putting in the work now as you said!
Early morning coffee with a side of Karin Bohn.... Amazing per usual! Thanks Karin. I love you day to day office videos
Yay! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Monday! 😘
That is precisely what I'm doing right now in the UK! I hope my channel will build like Karin's, same industry, different context
8 month old junior designer over here. Right now, job satisfaction is learning everything I didn’t learn in school. Submittals, shop drawings, budgeting, etc 😍
I'm in the Army (U.S. 11 years), working as a Human Resources supervisor. What truly satifies me is when my Soldiers accomplished their goals, whether I was a part of the process or not. Thank you for these videos, I'm always so inspired after watching!
OMG you have haters??? That's such a great sign!!! The Bohn Force is being felt far and wide. You're too fabulous to even take what they're saying on board, whatever it is. Can't remember the Bette Midler film where she says in a NY accent "Aaaahhh, go play with the traffic." Just say that and move on because we always see you in traffic!!! Big Love ❤️ from somewhere in Africa
I work in marketing and my satisfaction comes from working on beautiful projects. I’m motivated by good work. What frustrates me is having to work with people with lower standards.
I’m in school for Interior Design and it’s people like you who keep me motivated to work hard and passionately! I’m in the early stages of my school’s design program so I’m learning building materials and codes right now; it’s a lot of work but I know it’s all worth it. Be patient in your career!
I am a Data Analyst working on Financial company information (think publicly traded companies) and I love seeing perfectly organized data and having everything go smoothly. Also find most of my job satisfaction working on my side project trying to build database products/software for visual based information (art pieces/swatches etc).
Oooh! your Job sounds like a LOT of fun bit I'm sure HARD WORK too. 😊
Karin, I love how REAL your content is. It is such an amazing representation of the job!!! You are such an inspiration! Thank you for making this content for all of us! Regardless of where you are in the journey I feel like everyone can learn something from what you share!! Love you!!
Yay! What a great comment. Thank you so much for watching!! 💋
Omg!! who could ever find something about you or what you do in a negative way! You are inspirational and a strong independent women.
TO THE HATERS: Watch all of her videos, feeds, Q&As, or post! You obviously do not know her or what she does. Take your negativity somewhere else.
#BohnSquad
Lol. YEAH!! I love it Nicole. #BohnSquad!! ❤️
I own and run a social media and content marketing agency. What I love the most is when I can do things which are in my "zone of genius", which weirdly is both managing finances and doing creative stuff :-) Don't particularly like the firefighting. What I used to hate when I was an employee : office politics , inefficiency and endless meetings.
Thanks for your motivation and your personal inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for watching my content! ❤️
I stumbled across your channel and absolutely love it! I am not an interior designer, I am a newly licensed life insurance agent working on building my business. Your channel is very inspiring and motivating to all women no matter what field of work and showing us the day in the life of an entrepreneur. So authentic and humbled. Thank you
I'm so excited to see the new series unfold with the new office!!!
I'm a waitress right now going to school for cultural anthropology. I honestly love interior design as a hobby and it really inspires me to make active changes to my surroundings in order to benefit my mental health. What brings me satisfaction in my job is having appreciative customers who treat me kindly, and the satisfaction of a job well done (if I leave my shift knowing I gave good service and didn't mess up anything on my end). One thing I don't like about my job right now is that my coworkers aren't doing their jobs to their fullest which leaves more work for people like me who try to do what's required of all of us. It's really nice to see an operating office like yours that uplifts, empowers, and holds one another accountable for things in a professional setting. It really gives me hope for when I graduate and look for a job. (or go back to school for interior design)
Hi i am not a designer but as a working woman I love seeing these videos as inspiration to keep working and at the same time
Being a stylish person. Saludos desde Mexico
I completely agree with u on having my hands in different things. Iv always preferred to work for small business because I get to do more and learn more. For job satisfaction I need a balance of doing something I love, feeling like my hard work (because I always work hard) is being appreciated, and fair competition. I also think Managment/owners set the tone and can make or break a team. Favoritism and gossip are poison. And micromanaging instead on teaching and building will drive any employee crazy. Addressing issues when they happen and giving your team feedback on their performance is also super important to me. There is no worse feeling then not knowing where you stand with your boss when you show up to work in the morning because they never tell u how well or not well your doing. Iv had great and terrible bosses and Iv also managed large teams for many years and these were the things I thought were important. Hope this helps!
I work at a large corporation as an analyst. What brings me joy is knowing that I have a great group of coworkers and managers who support me and make work enjoyable. And also gaining experience in what I plan to do in the future.
I'm an entrepreneur. I work for myself and love providing solutions to challenging problems. I'm a fixer!!! I hate admin; filing and filling forms. Always have done but just got on with it and did it when younger as part of my jobs.
That’s great that you’re a fixer! Being an entrepreneur is all about solving one problem after another! ❤️
Thank you!!! You're such an inspiration because you work hard but quality for you client is uppermost in your mind. Love that about you.
Karin Bohn Thank you!!! You're such an inspiration because you work hard but quality for you client is uppermost in your mind. Love that about you.
Hi Karin! Your channel is the best thing to happen to my subscription box in a while! I work for an insurance company and it doesn't give me any satisfaction. I only love the people I work with. Growing up I wanted to be a fashion designer or interior designer, but my family convinced me to go for something more "traditional". When I started in my current industry, my spouse lost his job, so I felt like I had to stay where I was since my job was stable. Sadly, it is now many years later, but I've decided to what it takes to transition into something I absolutely love. Your content has really inspired and motivated me.
Hi Karin, I live in NYC and became hooked on your videos from a Christmas decorating video. I’ve seen the whole renovation, beginning to end, of your home. What has kept me watching is the energy you give off and how honest and genuine you seem. I just want to say keep up what your doing and I wish you every bit of happiness and prosperity you deserve.
Still the only person I have notifications on for!
I love you and your channel!! Always supporting!!
Love your content. You continually inspire!
Im exited about that new space too!
Welcome back from your trip ! I'm a swimwear designer and garment technologist ! Nothing makes me happier than creating a garment that fits a woman in a way that makes her feel like a million dollars. Helping someone to see their true beauty is just out of this world and is the reason I do what I do. Like you I need to be challenged and occupied constantly! Job satisfaction isn't about money it's only ever about being paid to do what I love. P.s I get super excited every time you post a video THANKYOU for creating x
Long day but finally got to watch this. Thanks for another great video. You sharing your journey is so incredibly important. Thank you
I'm a cleaner & am a little OCD so I have a hawkeye for dirt & grime. I feel that if a place is clean it can look so much better, you can have nice trendy expensive but if your space is dirty or cluttered it will never look good
These are my favourite kind of vlogs..the day to day work.. the construction site..seeing the materials on the table and the at the end we get a sweet motivation speech
I know I'm two years late, but I still want to share. Haha! I'm in microbusiness, my husband and I work on our little tie-dye clothing brand and I offer online Conversational English tutorials.
The most satisfying part of my job definitely is being able to collaborate with other Microbusiness entrepreneurs. I really feel fulfilled when I see people getting connected together. ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on the new office, can't wait to see it
One of the highlights of my Mondays! Love it 💖 Loved seeing your adventures and day to day on instastories 😍🔥
Yay! Thanks again for watching Haseena! #BohnSquad ❤️
I love the way you handled the client. You respect her feelings & tried your best not to overlapping her ideas. I knew how crucial to be at site, where all the problem comes in & out. Love your video. Always ♥
Love, love, love everything about you!! So inspiring!! xx
I love you Karin and I always look forward to your vlogs. You really inspire me. Keep doing your thing. Only good vibes here💞
I love seeing you work and create. Always motivates me.
I create custom equestrian products. What I love the most is pushing people out of their comfort zone and seeing what color can do to a traditional industry.
I think that’s a great idea! Breaking the mould!
Amazing video again!! Great to see you back in the Office! Xx
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it! ❤️
I am excited for your new office! 🤩
Great stuff Karin, as always! GOD bless and keep it pushin’!✊🏾🦉💯
Hi Karin! I'm an architect from São Paulo, Brazil. What I love about my current job is the challenges and the learnings that I have every single day. What I hate about it is the routine of going every day to the office, because it's so far from where I live. I just love your channel! You're my favorite yt channel, designer and an amazing person! :)
Hi Karin! I am working in the hospitality industry as an Assistant Front Office Manager in Paris. Even if I am not an entrepreneur, I can definitely relate to the majority of the content you put out. To answer your question, I get the most satisfaction out of my job when I train team members and I can see them grow and improve their skills; I find it very fulfilling. The most challenging aspect of it last year was to build a brand new team from scratch (half of the team left in about 3 months time) while managing a very high occupancy. It prevented me from focusing on the very point that gives me job satisfaction. Thank you so much for your hard work and for the satisfaction you bring me outside of my job =)
To those haters, if you got nothing nice to speak pls shut up! This is a positive channel where people in the interior design business gets their motivation, inspiration n revival moment etc........ people like Karin who has a big heart to share about her success is rare to come by n she is giving constantly n making efforts to makes videos out of her busy schedule. I love watching your video! Karin ! You give me reasons to stay on in my interior design business career! I m always looking forward to your video to keep my passion alive! You show the world the real stuff that is going on in the interior design process, from design to execution.
Landscape designer here. What I love about my current employment is getting to do more than I did when I was employed somewhere. What I hated about previous jobs was having to clock into an office. I always say that working on the biz is one job and working in the biz is another. Hah!
I just discovered your channel and I'm obsessed. The filming is amazing and I love how authentic and inspiring you are!
Yay! Thank you for watching my content. I’m so happy to hear that you are loving my channel. Welcome to the #BohnSquad! ❤️
job satisfaktion: When clients get excited and loves the product + solving problems for working partners
For me, my satisfaction comes from knowing each client is satisfied when they get off my massage table refreshed and renewed in how they feel after the season- in times past I hated the downtime loved the on the go when I worked in a clinic setting but working for myself I have grown to love the downtime and relax in it 0:)
Love Love LOVE your channel 😊❤️ Amazing as always, informative, inspiring and forever sharing wisdom 👌🏼 looking forward to the next video 😘
I love you and your work Karin. You have inspired me so much! Thank you. xxx
I love you channel. Thanks for all amazing videos you produce they are really helpful.
I'm a structural steel plates designer for an industrial engineering firm and job satisfaction for me is when I can see how my role plays a significant part in the "big picture" or end project. It pumps me up and reminds me how important my job is. :)
I really needed to hear the last couple minutes of this video! Thank you for reminding to be patient in my career / journey & to just continue to stay focused on the bigger picture and continue to put the work in. It’s very hard with social media like you said, when it comes to listening to that voice that says you should be doing more or asking why you aren’t where someone else is. So again, thank you very much for your content always!
I'm super excited for the new office and Bohnafide 2, and also for the next Bohnafide 1 episode!
I loooove this vlogs... Very much. I like your passion for your work ❤️
Truly enjoyed the video and dose of motivation the haters have nothing on you keep doing what you do you inspire women not only to start a business but to believe in one's self thank you!
Business Language Trainer here- I teach Business English and Business skills. What I love about my job is seeing my students improve their confidence. I also have a food blog and sell digital products on etsy. I was in retail banking for 12 years before I changed careers . I didn't like the fact that we were treating customers like numbers rather than individuals. We were under constant pressure to sell products that did not serve the customer. That's why I changed my job and I couldn't be happier. Another great video Karin. Hater will always be haters. They are really insecure about themselves so they have to criticise other people. We love you! xx
I really like how you portray as a girl-in-action almost like a dazzling display in a work industries. More power to you Karin!! 💖💖💖
Great video, Karin! I'm always very excited to see a day in your life! A morning routine video could be so so interesting, too! Please do one for us! Xx
You inspire Karin! Continue sharing your amazing life with us! Your spirit is strong and your positive vibes reflects your true beautiful self :).
Awe. You are so sweet. Thanks so much for watching my content and thanks for leaving this comment. You’ve made my day! ❤️
I'm a trainee engineer for an commerical aircraft engine maintenance shop , what brings me satisfaction is recovering really expensive parts for the company or customer. Whats hard is when you're awaiting other people! Love your videos xx
My entire reason for watching this channel is bc it’s inspiring and motivational. Prob my fav channel right now and I appreciate that you don’t swear a lot ( just a personal preference) but I just appreciate it 👍 I also love design so I find the content very interesting.
I’m web/graphic design and new proyects designs from scratch and plan the architecture of the info and then the codes, the sections, programming (i love to listen classical jazz an rock while I’m working) all of this brings me joy
Hello from Singapore, Karin! Loving these videos, as always. Forget the haters! Those who matter won't mind - and those who mind don't matter. ;)
Good morning. Love from Canada! 🇨🇦❤️ And well said!! I’m going to remember that one! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Haters, gotta love those, never feel bad when you have those it always mean that you’re doing something good 👍🏾👍🏾
It’s so true. Thank Michell for the reminder!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great video Karin! really enjoyed ur last one as well, and I am glad you addressed the negative comments n haters out there the world is filled with so much hate lets make this a positive channel !! thank you Karin! looking forward to your upstairs reno revel !!!!!! :)
Thanks Sandro! I’m glad to hear that you liked this video - let’s make this a positive channel!! ❤️
Hey guys
A good work environment is one of the most important thing!!
Hi Karen, I work for the Salvation Army and I get to decorate the end caps with donations, I have so much fun doing it, such a creative outlet. I love it when I see customers buying pieces that I decorated with because I hope I gave them some good ideas to use in their home.
I only have about five mentors in my lifetime So far, but I need to let you know your one of them 💯👍
Loooooove your videos and your talent!
New space= new content and new videos! yay!
I am a language teacher in France, I love it when a lesson goes well, sometimes the kids thank me at the end of the lesson. At my old job, what annoyed me was not having enough to do, or when the boss wasn't on board for digitising / streamlining processes.
Love your videos so much! 🥰 I’m a teacher and being a part of someone’s life and education, being a stepping stone in students reaching their goals brings me job satisfaction! I’m also an interior design student alongside my work as this is a passion of mine so who knows what the future will bring! Keep inspiring, I’m already excited for your next video 🖤 Have a lovely week xx
Thank you for being such a wonderful example. You do motivate and inspire! Sending you positive energy!
I just landed my first Interior Design Internship while still in school! I mentioned your videos and she was over joyed I followed you!! You have inspired me.
I work in marketing and ecommerce. Satisfaction definitely comes from over-delivering on client's expectations…
and the biggest obstacle is keeping myself moving in the right direction and not allowing my negative emotions (envy, anxiety, disappointment, etc…) to get in the way.
Completely agree with this advice to: "be patient with your career"
Thank you for sharing your style! xWBW
I am motivated by your videos, especially "a day in the life".
So inspiring. Keep up and motivate others, especially ladies.
Omg yesss a new video :))))
I Actually Love you and your work ethic!
You're literally my youtube mama, and you have been so pivotal in the launch and success of my startup.
Please keep thriving and keep on shinning Karin.

Hey Karin! Love your journey and I find it incredibly empowering to see you being so vulnerable and open with all of us. Thank you! One thing that I need to feel satisfied in my design business is working on a project that aligns with my values: authenticity, having strong concepts and moving from a place of purpose. When I have a client that understands and values this, I feel like I can do anything: research, work, put in more time and effort. I feel the opposite when I am working with someone who doesn’t care about how design decisions are made, doesn’t think twice on meaning or purpose in design choices and also cannot contribute constructively to move a project forward. I automatically become lethargic, powerless and loose hope that anything good might come of the project. Hope this answers your question for the #BOHNSquad! ❤️
youre so insiring to me. i want to be an interior designer so i am super interested in your channel. you should have an actual tv show lmao
Awe. You’re so sweet! Thank you for watching my channel and I’m so happy to hear that you find it inspiring!! 💋💋
Do you have any tips on building a portfolio for interior design students ?
OMG Karin, you look so great; so relaxed and there is a sort of peace in your appearance. So nice to see!
I'm a facility manager of a 2 floor building of 3500m2. What brings me the most joy in my work is when I get respect for the work that I do. I don't have to get a pad on the back everyday or a big Thank you every day, but every once in a while is nice. And if I get a Thank you even when I think a project it's nice but not great, that often makes my day. Also because it often reminds me of to be grateful of what I've already done, be still and be present instead of always wanting more (and more perfect).
And wow, waking up at 5AM..respect!
Love & Light from The Netherlands🍀🦋
So glad you posted new video. I am still waiting for home tour :-) and if you fly to Europe , visit Croatia you will be delighted .Hugs and kisses from Zagreb !
I work in human resources and nothing brings me more satisfaction than develop the talent, Inspire every day and learn something new ❤️
You're the best Karin!
No, you’re the best! 😘😘
I’m currently a waitress..not for long though!! The good thing is that I make good money but it doesn’t bring me happiness!! I’m thankful for this job bc it has made me want so much MORE❤️ I’m so excited to be self employed and eventually have a thriving business like you! So thankful for your channel, you’re the definition of a badass boss!
Yeah!! You do what you gotta in the meantime... I was a waitress all through university until I went to design school! ❤️
I am an interior designer and I love when clients like my works. I love to help people with their homes. What I hated in my last job was sitting in office 9to5 and making so many paper work. I'd like to create. ;-)
You're my inspiration for finally renting out an office space for my small digital agency. :') Keep on inspiring us with your TH-cam videos!
Clerical assistant and I like the flexibility of my job. What I have hated about my previous job was the micro managing. I agree with Susanna Latham your channel is very inspiring!
I read “5am Club”, thank you for your recommendation! Such a great book. Please keep book suggestions coming! I’m learning so much from you. Ps great video! Love the “Day in the Life” content!
Am not an interior designer, I own a small business trying to grow it, and I find so much inspiration in your channel, thanks for giving us a chance to see what goes on in your business life
It's always motivating to see you and your team...so in sync with each other. ...you should arrange your stuff as per colours ...easy to find
I love waking up and seeing you posted! I see you are driving your Mercedes again. Any plans to get the car you were testing out or happy with the Mercedes?
Wow, you’re very observant! Actually I’m trying to decide right now as my lease is up at the end of March! 🚙
Thanks for your videos! Business entrepreneurs all the way! Keep inspiring. I now have my own business and I look to your channel for inspiration.
Thanks for the vids Karin! I'm a freelance interior designer from South Africa. To answer your questions, I am motivated and enjoy the concept creation and initial concept design phases the most. The most difficult part of the job is definitely dealing with contractors who don't do things as they should..
Hi Karen,
I wanted to thank you for your Vlog and for the effort that you put into it. Also the fact that your share your professional life with us. You give me so much inspiration, it’s kinda surreal.
I recently discovered your Chanel and I am obsessed. Looking how you are dealing with your business and following your dreams and being so open about it, helps me to apply the same motivation and dedication to my dreams and professional path.
Thank you and keep on going.
Love
A.
