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! :-)

[@createparadise]

Well said! ☺️💚

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! ❤️

[@spiritualcosmeticss]

I guess anyone who is on KZbin 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!

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

[@homodeus8713]

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!!!

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 🥰🥰

[@alejandroaramis2960]

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.

[@airbmikal]

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!

[@cgurl]

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 😍

[@heyoerikan]

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!

[@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

[@mhpora]

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.

[@sierrakube2776]

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)

[@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.

[@ShatemaC]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@monicasepulveda7368]

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.

[@sarahex5846]

You're my favorite yt channel, designer and an amazing person! :)

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.

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. ❤️❤️❤️

[@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!

[@orsonneauamelia8935]

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 =)

I am a project coordinator in the plumbing wholesale industry in the Vancouver area. I love taking something that was a mess and organizing it into something that flows and helps me provide the best customer service. I also love being constantly thrown into learning about new products, and facing new challenging situations. What I do not love is a lack of mentorship/management not wanting to invest in growing an employee within a company. If you have someone who's passionate, cares deeply about your customers, and wants to learn then why the heck would you not be excited about that? On a side note, while I'm not an interior designer thank you for all the amazing videos. I find them very motivating and inspirational. Cheers. :)

Hi Karin, I'm a middle stage entrepreneur on real estate, consulting, food, design and automotive industries. And I guess what clears my mind into a satisfaction mindset is the hustle, the unexpected, the networking that turned into loyal friendships and the positive comments of clients.

[@Jazmynbethel]

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!

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!

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

I rarely read the comments so it surprises me that there are haters. Silly people, nothing better to do I suppose. Perhaps they miss the fact that you are being generous. Growing your business and sharing your growing pains, the good and the bad and being a genuine person in the process. Success is a good thing and the fact that you share how you work on that all the time is a benefit to others. I'm a Buyer for a manufacturing company. One of the parts of my job is I work with engineers to create bills of material and it's a long drawn out process and lots of nit picking, I like digging in and sorting it out and I love when I solve problems successfully. I hate when the "systems" don't work and it's one frustration after another and something simple becomes overly complicated for no good reason! ~Dawne

[@KhadijahAbdulNabi]

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! ❤️

[@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.

Hi, Karin! First of all, I really want to thank you for the effort of making these videos for your community. You're such an inspiration! I am an Architecture student and you motivate me a lot to keep pushing foward even though sometimes can be really hard. About the fact that every job has good parts and bad parts.. You're right. There are moments when I am absolutely in love with everything that I do and there are moments when I feel like I can't do this anymore.. because most of the time, as you said, people see only the finish product and they are not aware of the hard work behind, nights without sleep and so on.. But I am not here for easy work so thank you for inspiring me to do big things in my career, step by step. I Love every single piece of content from you and just so you know, You are changing lives. :) Everybody need to see people like you, hard working, smart and in charge of their life. I wish you a really beautiful day/night and btw I love starting my week with a cup of tea and your video on my desk. Kisses ♥

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

[@jackieconway8095]

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:)

[@heatherhiggins6905]

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 have a small homebased business which is invitation making. What im not inlove about it is i do work alone because i live alone.😂 sometimes the work load and deadline put so much stress....however, at the end of every project, if the client still appreciate the output of my work, It pays all the stress and hard work. 😊 it's nice to know someone which will serve as your inspiration to keep moving. God bless. 😘

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.

Also, when I am able to bring a smile on a guest's face for something that they could not do themselves. I like watching your videos because I aspire to have my own business and be a boss like you. I believe in getting to the top with hard work and kindness. That is why I connect with you and your videos.

I’m currently an architectural designer. What I enjoy about my job is getting to do some sort of designing daily. I love your channel and your 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!

[@Dreamcatcher0007]

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 your REAL thoughts on building a business to create that life everyone wishes they had. I'm in crisis careers from real estate management (family owned) to being the interior designer I have the passion for. Thanks Karin.

[@GraceSupangSapokRobin]

I am motivated by your videos, especially "a day in the life". So inspiring. Keep up and motivate others, especially ladies.

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’ve been feeling unmotivated in completing my small commercial project for college, but after watching this video it has reminded me why I decided to go into interior design. Thank you, Karin! 💕

[@MariMB08]

I’m a huge fan even though I am not in the design industry. As always, excellent video. Thank you for sharing with us. Sending hugs and love. 🥰✌🏼

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.

[@KarinBohn]

That’s great that you’re a fixer! Being an entrepreneur is all about solving one problem after another! ❤️
