I’m not an entrepreneur, nor am I interested in interior design. However, you motivated.

[@KarinBohn]

Gina Johnson Awe, that’s quite the compliment! I’m so happy to hear that you find my content motivational! 😘❤️

[@joyblessing2011]

Me too. I am in the healthcare field and I have learned so much in terms of management just by watching her.

[@Tyyada]

100%

[@Rinadiore]

I honestly get excited when you upload. You need your own TV series ! Love from the UK 🇬🇧

[@KarinBohn]

RinaDiore Hi from Canada!! Thank you so much, that’s such a compliment!! 😘

[@jessicasevilla2529]

I'm not the type of person to urge youtubers to have kids, but I've noticed how often you bring it up. I'm only 21 and dont have a desire yet to have kids, but I've noticed that there is never a perfect time to have children. And you're right - if you wait too long you might miss out on your chance. :/ I've also learned that women are strong and every year we push the boundaries of what we thought was possible. If there is anyone who could handle kids, I think it's you. Kids are another challenge in life, its definitely a challenge worth going through. You seem to really want it, and there's no time like the present. ❤❤❤ With that said, I love your channel and liked the video before it even started cuz I knew it would be awesome! I needa get my hair done too!! 💁‍♀️

[@myyoutubechannel2944]

you were right lol

[@StylishCurves]

Hi Karen, love Your videos. I want to know if you have any advice on how to deal with feeling stagnant as an entrepreneur. How do you keep yourself motivated when you feel like you’re not growing or you see your peers excelling and you feel like you’re not?

[@KarinBohn]

Stylish Curves Hi! Thanks for your question, it’s something close to my heart as we all feel stagnant sometimes. Maybe I’ll do a video on this topic so I can address it in more detail? Thanks for the inspiration! 😘

[@StylishCurves]

Karin Bohn thanks Karin! Looking forward to watching a future video on it

I absolutely LOVE your videos. You embody everything that I want to be when I graduate from interior design school. You inspire me to be a badass entrepreneur ;) please continue with the amazing content !

[@Natalie-rv6vw]

Hi Karin, I sincerely appreciate your videos and the content you share! I think it's extremely important for businesswomen to have role models because not many share their lives publicly, which is something you've mentioned before. I very recently found you on KZbin and have since been binge-watching old videos. One thing that stuck out from a previous video is how much time you put into Business Development even when business is steady. I am not an Interior Designer, but as a businesswoman, I'd love some advice or insight into what that process is like for you (i.e. what things you do in the Business Development phase or when pursuing new clients) Maybe you can share some of your most valuable practical tips regarding Business Development, or whatever you feel comfortable sharing? Thanks so much!!

[@SwetlannaEvi]

Dear Karin, Thank you for your time and efforts that you devote for the blog. Really, each and every topic is useful - like small puzzles, which make the total picture clearer for the beginners I would like to ask - if its possible for you to share your Apps and useful programs in your daily routine - for example app for schedules, editing, making daily things organized, general office programs We all can see that you are guru in multitasking and making things happened Thank you once again and wish you and your blog all the best!

[@Nanichaa]

What do you carry in that rolling trolley all day? Can you do a video about that. thanks for sharing your advice!

[@susanharkema2888]

Karin: Sounds like you're a visual learner vs. an auditory or kinesthetic​ learner.

[@KarinBohn]

Susan Harkema Yes, you’re probably very right at that! I’m often astounded at how visual I am... do you work in this field?

[@RobynKimberly]

Love the entrepreneurship talk! I've been self employed for 1 year now and definitely know what you mean by 9 - 5 doesn't exist! Great vlog ❤

[@evaistheway]

I think one of the reasons that makes Karin really good at what she's doing is her kindness. I can tell from the tone of her voice to her body language that she's sincere which is after all a choice if you're venturing into the world of entrepreneurship. I wish her an everlasting prosperity and abundance.

[@pinkvalentino]

Please, can you make a video on 'HOW TO MAKE (QUICK) DECISIONS'? I've been struggling with my self-confidence and confidence in my skills/ knowledge and this leads to the process of making the decisions being very slow. It influences my work/ life obviously. I'd love to hear your view on it. xxx Love you!

[@MiaMixx]

Yes, baby girl...envisioning of becoming the "Vogue" of interior design! 👏🙌🙌👍

[@RachelSLee]

Your videos are always so fun and informative, Karin. Being an entrepreneur is hard work, I know because I have my own online marketing business, but you make it seem like its so easy. You are an inspiration to keep working hard.

[@monettejavier3760]

Keeping yourself motivated is hard work. As an online marketer, the pressure is real but you still need to keep going. Karin, thanks for inspiring us. Loved your latest vid, Rachel! Learned a lot from it too.

[@kyleighmorgan3811]

I can also feel the pressure managing online business. I am happy to stay productive and motivated by entrepreneurs like you.

[@Annabur]

[@julieanne5694]

Enjoy watching your videos early in the morning for some motivation. I love to see other women entrepreneurs. Thank you Karin for sharing with us

[@mszangel4eva]

Girl, drop them babies and bring them to work with you. Get you a nanny to watch and keep them busy while you handle business and then interact between errands and jobs. You are your own boss and have built a name for yourself, people trust your work and talent and you have not failed them yet and you will not fail them with your kid or children.

[@tkundrid5095]

Hi Karin, just wanted to let you know that you kick ass, you are truly an inspiration and every time I need to get my head straight I come back to this channel. Shameless plug, just wanted to let you know that I opened my design agency (4 months now) and its going really good. If you ever need graphic design related services (branding, illustrations) or UI/UX related services (app development, user experience, etc), feel free to contact me, would be awesome to work with you. Thanks again, Love from Kosovo!

[@madeleinerubyriley]

I'm a junior Interior designer and i would love to know what you carry with you when you go to meet clients or potential clients. I see you have roller brief case in many of your vlogs. Do you take a fan deck, portfolio, plans or measuring tape. Interested to know your essentials. would love to know what technical software programs House Of Bohn uses to create beautiful spaces. Love from AUSTRALIA! M

[@michelecondon7821]

KAREN< I LOVE YOUR HAIR LONG! You have such awesome hair and so many ways to create with it. you are a beauty. i believe it exudes out from within and your are a stunner sweetheart, smart!

[@Geneiveve]

People throw kids into their careers and lives because they get nannies. Unfortunately this world says that women can have it all but that’s not true nor realistic. If you want to be at the top something will take the bottom position. If a woman chooses to be a mom and an entrepreneur she must know that something will take the back burner. A woman cant be omnipresent. She can’t dedicate equal time and energy to her household and the workplace because each are extremely demanding. That’s why nannies are hired. I think mother’s who have nannies know this but they can’t admit it because they feel a sense of guilt . As a society we have said nannies are necessary for the modern woman but most kids want their parents to raise them. Particularly their mom. I think that women have choices nowadays and they need to make them while taking into consideration the well being of their children. A nanny can never be a substitute for raising children. Overall I don’t disagree with a woman loving her work . I just think she should make a choice. It’s either entrepreneurship or motherhood. A woman simply cannot spread herself equally between the two. Anybody who says that they have accomplished this isn’t being honest . That movie “ The Devil Wears Prada “ was a perfect example of this.

[@homodeus8713]

Oh you'll handle kids no problem. Just factor in childcare support; family, friends, nannies au pairs!

[@Geneiveve]

Wow what gorgeous features this woman has. Reminds me a little of Bjork, exotic ..however much more stunning

[@jasmineparmar2228]

What advice would you give to someone who is interested in entrprenurship but is on a very traditional career path (doctor/lawyer/engineer)? Is it worth giving up the stability those other jobs offer to run your own business?

[@magnoliarwanda8091]

Definitely relating to the high-in-your-career then have to pause for building a family. Went trough it .. you will nail it :) love your content! xx

[@proyouservicesltd3652]

Karin are you conscience that your business and colleagues is not racially diverse ? Is it intentional to only work with people of your own gender and racial groups . There are no longer any males working in your office and being half European and Asian, there seems to be only white and Asian females in her your business . Regarding having babies, wish your hubby Chris will get the job done as fertility declines rapidly after 35years of age.

[@nairuz5812]

your such an ocsigen to my interior career/lifestyle dream, you remind me how much I want that life so bad and how much effort I should be doing for it, such an inspiration keep it up always waiting for your updates

[@sandrab2422]

Wait longer on the kids! Enjoy your career, GOD WILL BLESS YOU WITH THEM NOW OR LATER, YOUR MATURITY AND HAPPINESS BEFORE HAVING THE BABIES WILL MAKE having them and spending time with them even more precious. REALLY! I was 22 with first (too young) 36 with the second and 39 when I had my third child and he is 14 now. I am 53 feeling like I’m 40. How old are you now? LOL I just found you yesterday and I’m binging.

[@camrenrandleman8006]

Hi Karin!!! I’m a fashion design student in Philadelphia, PA and I just found your videos. They are so inspirational because I go back to school in September and my school is all about the go..go..go and so am I. But of course inspiration to keep at it is always necessary which is what your KZbin channel is.Thanks so much!!!!!

[@shani4470]

Hey Karin! Love love love your channel. I wondered, how do you keep a log of all your projects/portfolio? Do you keep case studies and log down potential future improvements with your team? Last thing- Where do you collate your fabric/material swatches? Thank you! Keep the videos coming!!

[@crism3lo]

You only have to have kids if you tell yourself so. If you have the calling, do it. If you don't...if you doubt, if you hesitate...it's very likely that you are from my tribe, childless women. We are more in numbers than we announce ourselves. It's nice here, join me. It's just fine to be childless in life. Motherhood, pregnancy, raising a human - those things are def not for everyone, not nearly. It's, in fact, rare those people who are ready for the challenge. And it resets everything so you really consider it all before doing things just because people expect that of you (or you of yourself). It's BS, a mental-social-political trap. Live life your own way.

[@hyagochiavegati551]

Hi Karin! I loved this video! Hope you reach all your goals and dreams! I would love to see a video about House of Bohn's processes, like how do you start a project, how your team makes the drawings and also what do you deliver to your clients. I'm completely addicted to your videos and to House of Bohn! :) All my best from Brazil! ;) Hyago Chiavegati

[@michelletrott7089]

So...again...I'm inspired. As you progress through your journey of creating 'Vogue' interior spaces and building your brand exponentially, you are inspiring me to push through my own journey. I have always wanted to be a interior designer. This month I finally took the first step and started my 1st course lesson. Life is a little bit different now. I have little ones to care for, so the journey will be unlike the norm...but I definitely am determined to make it happen. You are a ⭐ I love all of your designs. You have a very unique way of pulling different elements and materials together to form a beautiful space. Great job!

[@shaylarutledge2353]

Hi Karin & Team! I'm not sure if anyone has asked this question and if this question has come up in a Q&A but what is the brand of your rolling briefcase and where did you purchase it? Right now I am looking for one and I've been looking on Amazon. I still have not quite found what I'm looking for but I think the size and style of our briefcase may work. Thank You! :)

[@anayatorres5334]

Hi Karin, I love your videos! For so long now I have been hesitant to starting my business, I have educated myself to the maximum where I felt like an expert but with a fear of going out and getting it done. I forgot how I came across one of your videos but, now I’m a regular. You have inspired me to give up on fear and just do it! I realized that with fear nothing is possible since I have done that, I quit my 9-5 and I started this new chapter in my life. I started my business, and I have never been happier! Thank you so much Karin, for sharing a little snippet of your Monday life and inspiring us to give up on fear, and work towards our destiny! I love you so much and I would love to meet you one day and have a nice cup of coffee. Muah😘💕

Hi Karin! I found your channel a few days ago and am completely hooked, cannot stop watching your videos! I find the content you're putting out very entertaining and informative even for someone that is not a (aspiring) designer (I am an aspiring research scientist who would someday like to start a business). It is so refreshing to see a successful female entrepreneur in action, it gives me so much motivation! I truly admire what you are doing, and can only imagine the wealth of knowledge every aspiring designer watching is attaining from you; I wish there was a Karin in my field! You'd be like the best mentor. Though I missed my chance to leave questions for the Q&A; I really wanted to know what made you/motivated you to start your business? & when you decided to start it, did you just go for it full on or did you ease into it (as in got the necessary experience and when you thought you felt ready went for it)? xx

[@Missy2858]

Not sure how I came across your channel but I am obsessed! Every time over the past week that I've felt stuck in moving through my over flowing to do list, I turn on one of you're videos and have felt so motivated.

My sister was 30 when she got married and had her first child then she had another a year later. She's 33 now and pregant again, during this time she's been a stay at home mum. Its been almost 3 years, she loves it but she says she misses work so she's been starting her own business. It is difficult balancing a 3 year old and a baby whilst pregnant and being an entrepreneur but she says you just figure it out. You'll 100% will need the help of your husband and a cleaner/nany every now and then. Good luck!
