End of Blog Quote: “You’re worth it, you’re smart enough, you have all the skills that you need, you’re intuitive, you don’t need permission, Don’t ever forget it and you can make it happen!” Karin Bohn

[@jamesross4413]

I'd love to know more about when you were in the start-up phase and had to get clients and how you did advertising etc

[@annasophia8766]

Yes!!

[@nmj2411]

Yes, I’m starting my business and could really use this info/advice!

[@karinalevano]

Yes! I’m thinking of starting a new career at the age of 20 as a interior designer.. it’s scary to think of investing so much money into a course.. when I’m not 100% about it !!

[@JeremyTalksWitU]

That ending quote is just what I needed before my final Thanks Professor Bohn

[@Reanage]

Right?!

[@matthewlo55]

Won't be the same when you're working in real life.

[@timothymur]

Karen! Do you ever have "crazy" clients, and how do you handle that?? Can you please do an episode about this?

[@sarahstrickland5086]

This has been one of your best videos by far about the amount effort that is put into a successful business, team, project and work ethic. So glad you go into depth about the real life of being a business owner, interior designer, creating a brand and being a true inspiration! You are truly one of a kind 💕

[@aishah5244]

I am only midway through the video, but I believe it is important to note, when you do what you love, it is much easier to put in the long hours and go the extra mile. Go hard with anything and everything that you do, yes, but when it's your passion, the going hard hits your spirit different. When you are putting in long hours for a business or company, where the work is outside the scope of what you love, the tasks and long hours become tiring and draining. If this is you, have a plan to transition and do not forget your end game, your goal! Although K looks tired (no shade), she is loving every minute of it, good or bad. xoxo

[@WithStephie]

Not only are you a role model for me, I honestly feel like you're my online mentor. I work in accounting and your messaging about hard work hit home with me. Also love the affirmation at the end. Thank you for sharing with us 💗

[@itingchristinatrout9724]

I rewatched many times for the pep talk at the end. You have no idea how you continue to inspire other creative professionals.

[@Natashea]

I’m switching careers to ID & you give me hope that I can make it work with a lot of hard work and persistence. I’ve been working hard in an industry I got into just to climb the Corp ladder and I’m no longer happy but I’m so passionate about creativity and design & cant wait for the transition

[@jshams1989]

Same!!

[@besschee6327]

All the best !

[@dajiahshai]

you got it!!

[@taphenecox5566]

Yoooo!!!! Same here 🥂 I hope I too make it big 🙈

[@karinalevano]

SAME!!! 🥂

[@yaz7652]

"it's so ugly that it looks good"! I said that to my work colleague on Tuesday while browsing through our huge collection of second-hand items! Crazy! and after seeing this being said in the video, I was IN! Completely SUBSCRIBED to #KarinBohn videos and design ideas... Pick something "unusual", "old" or "ugly" and turn it into that "aha" or "wow" reaction, and you have ART, CREATIVITY and INSPIRATION working to their fullest! - the same goes with clothes ;) get wild!

[@prettybiglady]

I have been searching through almost all the interior design channels to find the perfect one, that not only teaches me how to select the right furniture and furnishings but also shows me the way to interact and meet the needs of the client. You are doing something different from all the channels with multi-million subscribers. Thankyou so much for being an inspiration to aspiring designers like myself. ❤️

[@quieraj1197]

That end quote is just what I needed to hear! I now feel like I am ready to conquer the day.

[@healingdiaries30]

Hi Karin, I looooove to see your management style. I've incorporated the way you communicate with your staff and while it's tough managing different personalities, I love the balance of energy and professionalism you bring to your team. I love your day to day videos in your office, please show more. #modaymoringmeetings

[@akinganiu2137]

Thank you very much, you are helping out a lot 🙏🏼

[@airbmikal]

14:45 Is literally my humor. Not sure if you were trying to be funny but that is the definition of my humor/my kind of jokes 100%

[@TawannaRucker]

[@cate4338]

You’re such a great role model! Love your content, love your vision, your channel and just everything. Thank you for sharing your life with us week in and week out ❤️

[@reneelatimer7687]

Hi Karin! Thanks for another amazing video. Your videos are always the best way to start my week. You're so motivating and inspiring and a joy to watch. Keep the great content coming! Oscar was so adorable in this video as always.

[@CelesteLove21]

Karin thank you so much for those words at the end, you don’t know how much I needed to hear that at the moment! Keep up the great work!

[@annamayyy9771]

Thank you Karin. You always bring that in depth content. Really appreciate that. Sending love all the way from South Africa 😘

[@carlenemutiganda4457]

The quote in the end was really what I needed to hear. I was having anxiety over being smart enough to become a interior designer or an architect but after hearing that from one of my biggest interior design role models I just started feeling relief! Thank you so much 😊❤️

[@denisepough9599]

I love your genuineness and the ability to point out the realities on owning an interior design business. It's your content that got me following you on KZbin. Keep it coming. You do great.💞

[@Sable_Amanda]

You’re so right - there really isn’t enough examples of hardworking people out there on the internet, that aren’t social media stars. I imagine because hard workers are busy working and that’s why they’re not making videos; so thank you. Thank you for taking the extra time to show this interesting and rewarding industry. You deserve all the success!

[@KarinBohn]

Awe. You’re so sweet for acknowledging all the hard work that goes into this. I’m so happy that you like my channel. Thank you so much for watching!! ❤️😘

[@GodlywoodGirl]

Awww I LOVE the ending quote. YAASSSS! Thank you Karin and Diane!

[@liz2959]

Your work is fabulous and you have the most amazing shoes!

[@astrubat]

That end quote!!! WoW! 😍

[@Marie-ve2ml]

I feel like you spoke directly to me in that last statement! I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way! Thanks!

[@BritishBestNapaValley]

oh my oh my did i ever need that little pep chat at the end - I'm working so hard to create my ID firm out the clear blue.. I'm knocking on doors and sending out those big messages to the universe...wave after wave of getting back up and doing it every day, and praying for that one that's going to pay the rent ... thanks for bringing us along with you, we are a collective and amazing community, to bring light, love and beautiful interiors to the world...!

[@design.build.style.]

Nice to see a cohesive team and inspiration! Keep rolling!

[@gracie8922]

You are probably the most amazing person that I watch. I love how you don’t let the late nights and the hard work get to you, and you still remain to work hard, and have a life, and you are still a beautiful, goofy and just all around genuine person. I love it.

[@MadisonPowell95]

I look forward to each anf every video omgeee

[@Michelle-qr3um]

Loved this one! 17:28 minutes of inspiration ❤️ Thank you so much, Karin and team of House of Bohn!

[@joycek483]

[@soukainaeljoumani7733]

[@costinalexandra1371]

I love your style and your distinctive pickiness. And for sure you are a great role model. xoxo Alexandra

[@naureendhananishivji3179]

Your videos are such a breath of fresh air. I am pursuing a new business venture with my husband (I am a teacher!) and sometimes it’s scary but I also know that hard work pays off. Thank you for all the inspiration. x

[@salaheddinebrikchi1940]

As an interior design student from Morocco, you truly are an inspiration to me and to how I would like to work after my degree. Great work ethics and innovative ideas are the core. Keep up the great work, old fan in here!

[@cieloannpacaanas8054]

Thank you for making an amazing video, you really inspired and encourage us to be an interior designer or an architect. Being in this field is really really hard especially if your a woman, a year ago i was ready to give up and try another field. But when i saw your videos by chance in youtube and watch it, it somehow gave me encouragement and i felt like "i can do this " and i hope so too. I don't even know how to express myself anymore but thank you for the amazing video.

[@BalanceHealthWellnessMusic]

Great vid!

[@CELIDA101]

Your video editing team is really great! Love the effects!

[@HilaireRadowick]

Glad you said that! Very important part of design.None of my design teachers ever said that.

[@lani2023]

My 11 year old is thinking about fashion, makeup and design as a career. Lately she's been leaning toward design and your series has opened up a whole new avenue of learning, for both of us. Thank you!

[@MariaHernandez-sb5kj]

U are awesome and so inspiring love your videos!!!

[@sheldonmorton5022]

Karin, I'm going in for my first interior design internship interview in a few weeks and I decided to watch your videos to get prepared. You are such a huge motivator for me, every time I watch your videos I feel like I can conquer anything and reach my goals!

[@laritza8284]

My fav video! The ending quote was my fav. I can’t wait for you guys to move into the new space. Your vids are so inspirational, you really are the best role model. I’m not even into interior design but what you teach goes far beyond that! I love your work ethic & employees and how calm you are. You have so many qualities that I admire and want to implement in my life. Thank you! I always leave so excited for next weeks vid lol

[@gracielarosales4227]

I needed that quote! 💞😭

[@ANONAMEMO]

Hi Karin, I have been watching your videos Day and Night for almost a week already. Thanks your being so Kind of sharing your knowledge. These days, it's really hard to find a mentor that really shares their knowledge and actually invest time with their apprentice. Funny, but you tought me more than any of my past Mentor in my apprenticeship. Thanks a lot, karin.

[@FrinceFries]

After watching some of your videos, it motivates me to become a successful Interior designer like you. God Bless always and continue enjoying your passion in life ♥

You are amazing in every way.

[@monicapleshek2886]

This vlog really speaks to me. It’s been a long time coming for my career in interior design to start and now it has finally started to happen for me. Your ending quote is really encouraging, this is exactly what I need to hear right now. Because you are so right! It takes long hours and ultimately to never give up, no matter how hard it gets. Thank you so much for that!

[@pasesiinteriors9964]

This video was put together very well. There aren't too many designers on KZbin showing the process the way you are. Keep it up.
