BACK IN THE OFFICE 

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!

If you have haters, that means that you're doing something right.

Waiting for the "bohnafide" video...the home tour. 😊

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

I guess anyone who is on RU-vid 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!

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.

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

Early morning coffee with a side of Karin Bohn.... Amazing per usual! Thanks Karin. I love you day to day office videos

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!

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 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!

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!!

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.

Thanks for your motivation and your personal inspiration ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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 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.

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.

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)

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

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 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 🥰🥰

Love, love, love everything about you!! So inspiring!! xx

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! :)

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

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

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).

Love Love LOVE your channel 😊❤️ Amazing as always, informative, inspiring and forever sharing wisdom 👌🏼 looking forward to the next video 😘

Great stuff Karin, as always! GOD bless and keep it pushin’!✊🏾🦉💯

I love you and your channel!! Always supporting!!

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

Love your content. You continually inspire!

Im exited about that new space too!

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. ❤️❤️❤️

Still the only person I have notifications on for!

Long day but finally got to watch this. Thanks for another great video. You sharing your journey is so incredibly important. Thank you

I am excited for your new office! 🤩

I love seeing you work and create. Always motivates me.

Congrats on the new office, can't wait to see it

Thankyou so much for your inspiration! Trying to set up a hotel for years.. now it's like down or under but doing my best.

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.

Amazing video again!! Great to see you back in the Office! 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'm super excited for the new office and Bohnafide 2, and also for the next Bohnafide 1 episode!

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

Loooooove your videos and your talent!

I love you channel. Thanks for all amazing videos you produce they are really helpful.

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.

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 !

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 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!

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.

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

I love you and your work Karin. You have inspired me so much! Thank you. xxx

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!

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.

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 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!

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. :)

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!

You inspire Karin! Continue sharing your amazing life with us! Your spirit is strong and your positive vibes reflects your true beautiful self :).

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

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 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.

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

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 ♥

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

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

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🍀🦋

Thank you for being such a wonderful example. You do motivate and inspire! Sending you positive energy!

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:)

Hi Karin, so inspiring that you are documenting your journey! We are not in the same business but we are in the creative industry and off course entrepreneurship. There are so many familiar things in your day to day with mine. Love your new motto, will try that also! Thanks and air hug from Holland 😘

I just discovered your channel and I'm obsessed. The filming is amazing and I love how authentic and inspiring you are!

I think a month long vacation is awesome. You are enjoying the fruits of your labor! You're successful enough (financially & have a supportive staff) to be able to do it. That is really cool.

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 =)

You're my inspiration for finally renting out an office space for my small digital agency. :') Keep on inspiring us with your RU-vid videos!

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! ❤️

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. :)

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 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. ;-)

Karin, I just love your videos and your insights. Congrats for being so inspiring. Show us some tips about productivity and how to balance worklife and personal life. Kisses from Brazil!

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

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 really like how you portray as a girl-in-action almost like a dazzling display in a work industries. More power to you Karin!! 💖💖💖

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. - Love Ropa, (subbed from melbourne, australia)

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.

Love these videos ❤️🥳🥳 yay

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..

I like your videos so much is so inspiring💓💖

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

Omg yesss a new video :))))

Do you have any tips on building a portfolio for interior design students ?

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.

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.

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!

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 !!!!!! :)

Love your videos Karin xoxo

New space= new content and new videos! yay!

Still an inspiration to me Ms. Karin 💞

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

You're the best Karin!
