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!

[@KarinBohn]

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! 🙏🏼❤️

[@susannalatham]

​@@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! :-)

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 [e-mail] or ibrqmx on Instagram. Hopefully you can get to travel more often and find a more active and enriching networking job. Stay strong!

[@njerimuita592]

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.

job satisfaktion: When clients get excited and loves the product + solving problems for working partners

[@PlanningNerd]

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.

[@linaramos4378]

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!

Hi Karen! I'm an interior designer, working in commercial designer (mainly salons and spas). I love the feedback I receive from clients but with my current job and previous jobs I've had, I find it difficult when a client micro manages a project...I find the final outcome is not as good as it could be when the client doesn't trust in you enough to do your thing.

[@dizzydazl]

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! To answer your question, I'm a full-time entrepreneur, I have a company called Godlywood Girl that produces Christian books, films, online courses and workshops that help women of faith live their greatest purpose for Christ. What brings me the MOST satisfaction is working on a brand new feature-length screenplay for a movie. What brings me the LEAST satisfaction (ironically) is posting new blog articles on my website. For some reason, I just can't wrap my head around loving it lol. Once I complete my current project, my next step is to hire an assistant to help me with the day to day of website management so I can get back to writing my next movie script. Thank you so much for this AMAZING video!

[@EATLIFTRUN]

I agree with Karin but let's not even address the "haters". I mean why address them if we don't agree with them. Also, if someone shares a feeling or says something that is something us as fans or even Karin doesn't agree or like - let it go. Let's be supportive of letting people share what they want. Having the freedom to speak is what is hindering in so many other areas. We just need to acknowledge them that they are sharing and that's it. That's their X opinion and we move on. Right? We are here for the positive community and being open to criticism is part of a positive community. I enjoy all her content and everyone here. We need to keep doing our thing. Let peeps be peeps. Cause remember rule #1 of KZbin you don't address the haters or trolls or else you give them power. Love you all.

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)

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

[@DCS-gt8wr]

Karen, you are always so mindful & I appreciate that in anyone. You ARE the embodiment of a ladyboss but you stand out because you aren't one who seems to have let success get to your head; humility is always a draw-factor for me. I live in a country with minimal opportunities to do & become whatever you want to be (as is the thinking in most 1st world nations). So even though I am talented & have started a business I have struggled alot more than I would if my country was 1st world. That said, I'm an entrepreneur working a job I loathe to keep up with bills. It kills my soul, mostly because the 2 owners have set a bad precident of negative speech, cussing employees out, under-paying & ignoring labor laws in the name of "ah well, you are replaceable since many others would love to take your place", & generally having a professionally immature/ignorant & back-handed approach to dealing with staff. I'm more educated than both my bosses & been interviewing elsewhere because my talents are wasted & unappreciated (although recognized). Long story short, you give me hope that should I still need to work for someone, one day soon my employer will be kinder & see that leadership isn't bullying or being malicious. Thank you for showing that good bosses still exist & thank you for well planned content.😇👏👍💛

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 =)

[@dodidoodles2297]

I am a Graphic Designer...completely self taught, and I LOVE when I can bring someone's vision to reality. On the flipside, that makes my biggest hangup customers who aren't good communicators at all-since I work primarily online, most customers are texting their requests. I work primarily in the wedding industry, and over the years I've had to become a ninja at reading in between the words to know what someone is *really* looking for and the right questions to ask to get the info I need. The only other hangup I have is since we do live in such a connected texting world, I feel people have lost sense of what a proper business time response is and get upset and move on if you aren't responding instantly. That can be hard with things like...sleep! But, 8 years in I wouldn't change it for the world. And as for the haters...I saw an interview with Lilly Singh on Impact Theory where she addressed people making negative comments on social media, and she was saying how when you are in a happy place yourself, that it is not even in your mentality to say hateful things or spread that kind of energy. So when she sees those kind of comments, or goes to react, she just realizes that whoever is writing it is not in a good mental space themselves. Reacting only increases that negative energy. I wish you all the best, Karin! No one but you knows the path you are traveling, and to have your hand successfully in multiple industries has to be amazing and stressful! You built your business from the ground up and you own that! xoxo

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 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. ❤️❤️❤️

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 💯👍

I'm an Anxiety Coach and my most stratifying part of my job is when my students have breakthroughs! And I love my time and finical freedom😃😃

[@janetko2010]

don't need to care about the people who hate something, cuz they are poor in their life.

[@KarinBohn]

Lol. It’s so true! Focus on the positive! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Hi Karin! Love your videos. I'm currently in the fitness industry working as a group instructor, and also studying to be an interior decorator. I love my current job because I get to make a positive impact on people's lives and encourage them to make better decisions for their wellbeing! I actually call myself an energy dealer rather than a trainer haha. However, I've been struggling with job progression and growth in the fitness industry so have decided to (finally) take a leap of faith into the design world. Super excited to see where it takes me, and grateful for the inspiration - and dose of reality - you give to me and all your followers! X

[@berenicecr7684]

I work in human resources and nothing brings me more satisfaction than develop the talent, Inspire every day and learn something new ❤️

[@user-tb7iz1vf7p]

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.

[@EloisaGene]

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!! 💖💖💖

Don’t listen the haters!!!! Envy is around the world

[@DaniCelma]

Great video! glad you are back. To your question: Marketing Manager in tech (San Francisco, CA) and what brings me satisfaction is having challenges and finding different ways to succeed, nothing like feeling proud of yourself!! Big hug =)

Hey Karin, I'm a freelance accountant/auditor (and aspiring food entrepreneur) and honestly, I only like the auditing part of my job. Accounting in general is very draining, but auditing gives me the opportunity to connect with companies on a less than regular basis ;) whereas in accounting I'm constantly involved in the back office, with the problems, taxes, people etc. So this year I decided to focus more effort on acquiring new audit clients :) have a great day and loving all your vlogs :)

[@heidisamson1359]

Hi, Karin! Thank you for your videos that always motivate me whenever I feel down with my career. I am a junior interior designer from the Philippines. The reset video really helped me wake up early, same time everyday. I love your projects especially the showroom where you got your house flooring. It was really designed well. You inspire me to be a great designer in the future! Looking forward to the House Tour! Really excited to see it, I love your kitchen very much! ❤️😍 Keep sending good vibes! 🙌🏻

I'm a barista for a local coffee chain of three cafés that focuses on traditional Italian espresso beverages (i.e. serving a very focused menu of lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, cortados, and cold brew with a few syrup flavors available). The company is super focused on product quality and is vertically integrated. What brings me job satisfaction is putting a lot of work into making a delicious drink and watching a customer's eyes light up as they take a sip, knowing it brought a little bit of joy into their day. Something I disliked about my previous job (at a giant F500 multinational corporation) was that in an effort to satisfy ALL customers, they stopped focusing on product quality and more on making everything faster. Faster isn't always better. They also paid less than I was worth and clearly didn't care about us. It made me never want to work for a large corporation ever again.

[@reneelatimer7687]

Hey Karin. So excited to see another video. Don't worry about the haters. Keep doing what you do. You are an amazing, strong, and inspiring woman. We need more positive role models such as yourself. I am currently studying for the CPA Exam which is extremely difficult, challenging and time consuming. Your videos inspire me to keep going no matter how difficult, or how tired I am. Like you said on a previous video I am enough and I can do it if I keep going. Can't wait to see your new office space and Bohnafide home tour with the rest of your house.

[@hyagochiavegati551]

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! :)

[@haseena1001]

One of the highlights of my Mondays! Love it 💖 Loved seeing your adventures and day to day on instastories 😍🔥

[@KarinBohn]

Yay! Thanks again for watching Haseena! #BohnSquad ❤️

[@ebruergen7382]

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 am working as an Architectural designer in MA/USA and what I most hate in this business is the fear of the unknown and know how much I don't know about construction still ( I am poor/immigrant ) What I love is create and with hard work make my projects always better and better. Love your channel and make me feel happy!

[@aimeekewn4249]

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

[@berenicecr7684]

I loooove this vlogs... Very much. I like your passion for your work ❤️

[@mulangamadima6181]

Okay I'm so late... but anyway. Shoutout to you from South Africa! I am a junior designer and I am so happy I found your channel. I love it!

[@cherylgohmh]

I started my digital marketing agency last year and rejected a local bank interview in Singapore opportunity for graduate business development manager role and you’re such an inspiration Karin! Your office videos motivate me so much! 💪🏻❤️😍

[@Lala-u5q]

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.
