This is a true expression of the life of an entrepreneur. This is realistic and very similar to my life. I run a cleaning business. There is no too much glam and you have to work.

Honestly Architecture is on a different level.. Designing from scratch .. not just having an existing building and decorate it from inside. Architecture is the best.

@arkiteck1273 5 лет назад

hi Ms. Karin, I envy your success because I see my self in you. your indoor/outdoor meetings, your angelic humor, your creativity etc. I was hit by unwanted financial setback & couldn't push my company, what is sad is I am back to being cubicle employee doing my best also as a designer but sometimes got burnout. The good part is I see a recommendation from youtube your videos & yes this is just what I need. I watch your vlogs as much as I can as I love the natural you behind the screen. correct! no formula for success. Plan your work Work your plan. thanks for that Ms. Karin. keep it up.

@joulaydeco9896 6 лет назад

HI Karin, im a french interior designer and you don't know how much you're inspiring me!!! I spent like hours watching your videos and hopefully taking your energy :-) keep goin' now im team house of bohn ;-)

@stephaniee7487 6 лет назад

Just posted a instagram story about this video, told my followers to follow you on RU-vid! I absolutely love your content, especially the day in the life videos! Kudos to your media team for their hard work. Please keep them coming, there are not enough content for business/career women on RU-vid.

@aliciawill6965 6 лет назад

I just discovered your channel yesterday and I am in love with the spirit of your content. I am not an entrepreneur and I don't have that mental state or drive...my dream is to be an elementary school teacher, but your advice in regards to putting in work, being willing to make sacrifices and realizing that failure is not failure but instead a teaching lesson in disguise....all of that applies to every single one of us, no matter what we are doing. You have helped me to realize that I am not a failure if I don't pass a class (I just need to get back up and retake it), that I can't sacrifice doing college work in order to have fun all the time, etc. I had a knockdown and I decided that made me a failure....but it doesn't and it makes me feel better that I am not the only one who feels this way. Thank you very much and especially for being a joy to watch due to your pleasant attitude! *sorry for the very long comment*

Hi Karin, thanks for sharing your hustles with us and it has been very motivating. I love how driven you are and uber focused on everything you do in your videos and staying level-headed (what a successful entrepreneur seems to be). Also, I find how you say "hey?" at the end of your casual questions adorable!

@haluckycharm 6 лет назад

I am a recent graduate and I am anxious to start up my career. I came across your videos awhile back and I thank you for sharing background of interior design. I’m trying to find something in the field until I get to the point to build my business.

@suzannecano3543 6 лет назад

Karin and team.. thank you for great content and motivational advice! I have always had love for the arts and truly feel that I am in my natural element when I am around it. After watching you I decided to take interior design classes and start my business in Apex NC, Thank you so much! I feel for the first time after much education and many jobs I am following what my heart has always wanted me to do from the start. I am 44 years old and I believe its never too late to change your career. Life brings so many unexpected events and I'm truly blessed that I found your vlogs! Keep bringing your awesome motivational, inspiring material :)

@peilicia 6 лет назад

Thank you for sending out positive and motivational vibes in every vlog. I really enjoy following you throughout the day with your work and the talks in the car. Please continue to do what you do!

@angiesamoa 6 лет назад

I love this so much! My favorite part was when you were pointing out what was not correct. You know your shit and I admire that!

@elaineanderson4891 5 лет назад

Although I am not an entrepreneur yet, I pay attention to people in leadership positions. For a good example the VP of my unit at my job. I like how he meets with all the leads for their one-on-one and how he asks for help when he needs something and his mind is focused on getting out an email that talks about our service. I have felt very comfortable knowing I have a person like him in leadership. I had another supervisor like that. I truly appreciate them.

@x0nd0ntheories6 6 лет назад

@stardavis6618 6 лет назад

Karin, great video as usual! I am really appreciating how you are being so raw and honest about the realities of entrepreneurship. It's a refreshing change from the usual "glamorized" way society seems to be increasingly promoting it. I have a question for you. With all the stress, pressure, sacrifices, ups, downs and struggles you've experienced, would you ever trade in your business for working for someone else? Btw - of course I clicked like and will definitely share with people I know:)

@angelleburrus 6 лет назад

Great job Karin kudos for the real talk, I love Mondays and Thursdays because of you!

@annathomas5991 6 лет назад

Thank you for all your inspiring videos Karin. I cant tell you how much I enjoy watching them. i run my own business in Melbourne Australia. I run a children's dance school, maybe not exactly like running an interior design business but the concepts can be applied to what I'm doing. Once I've watched your day in the life videos I feel inspired, excited and ready to do more in my business. Wishing you all the very best and look forward to watching more fabulous videos!!!!!!!

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Anna Thomas Hi Anna! Thanks so much for watching my video and for your comment. I was so happy to read it because my hope is to inspire female entrepreneurs... no just interior designers. So thank you for letting me know! Congrats on having your own business! ❤️ xK

@fayezfares1894 6 лет назад

You’re a great inspiring person for me personally! Ive learned more about the interior design world from you! Especially the videos about the wood selection and the furniture design! Id really like to see more of that and more about fabric and furniture finishing project maybe! Overall you’re great and amazing! Sendin love from UAE your way!

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Fayez Farez Hi Fayez! Yay, that’s so great to hear that you feel like you’re learning a lot from me!! Thanks so much for sharing that. We have a few project coming up that focus on furniture so hopefully we’ll be able to document some of that for you! ❤️ xK

@tessthemess3666 6 лет назад

Hello Karin! Thank youuu so much for all your lovely content! Yourself and your team are so wonderful and do such a great job! I'm inspired to start a RU-vid channel based around the life of a third year interior architecture student in South Africa and your videos give me so much knowledge and enthusiasm about design and lifestyle in general which excites me so much! I've been really struggling to be confident with my voice on social media but through hard work and determination, there's no stopping me :) I shared the video on Facebook so hopefully my other interior students can gain the inspiration as well! So much love and well done so far! x

@cassandrafrey3226 3 года назад

I know this is an old video, but I am currently in the midst of changing my career to interior designer. I went to school for business, you don't need it to start a business. Unless, like Karin said, you go in with someone else and one of you has business and the other has the skill of said business. But through my business career, I met soooooooooo many people who have businesses and never went to school of business. And the one thing I did learn in school, was just get the business started and figure the rest out later. There are books and two day courses on how to start and run a business. Just focus on your clients/customers, and make sure you can make money from your business, and the rest falls into place. In Canada thankfully its not hard to start a business. It took me 1 meeting and 1 phone call to the gov for a GST number and I had a business. Dont over think it, one step at a time.

@lizmontilla1985 6 лет назад

Karin, I'm not sure if you're sick of hearing this, but these videos are truly so helpful for fellow Designers such as myself. You are such an inspiration! You recently shared on your IG stories that your father died when you were 11 and unfortunately we have that in common. I lost my dad to cancer when I was 15, and that happened to be the same year I fell in love with Design. I so wish I had these videos back then so I could see a powerful woman like you hustling in this very hard industry. I've been grinding for 10 years and every day is a challenge, so I know how hard you've worked to get to where you are today. You should be so proud of yourself, and don't ever be afraid to say it. And your dad would be proud, too ;) PS; LOL @ your Jr. Designer's job site footware. No shade, get it girl with those Loubis! haha

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Elizabeth Montilla Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for watching my videos and for commenting!! ❤️🙏🏼 It means so much to me to hear that you’re feeling inspired by my content, so thank you! I’m sorry to hear about your loss also. What doesn’t kill makes you stronger, right? 💪🏼 It’s true, running a business is a grind and interior design is difficult! A lot of people don’t realize just how difficult interior design actually is, but it’s definitely not an easy job! Thanks again for commenting. ❤️

@christinechris2865 6 лет назад

I knew it was not necessarily an easy profession, but your real life videos make it clear just how many aspects you have to juggle on a daily basis .... and how difficult it can be ..... it actually is truly mind-boggling ..... Also just watched your 2017 video where you sum up the year and am very happy to see that despite all the demands on you professionally, you do make time for your husband, family, dog, vacation + fun ....... AT THE PACE YOU ARE GOING YOU DO NEED SOME RELAXATION + RECREATION AS WELL .... so please keep taking good care of yourself in that regard as well ..... you clearly take great care of your team + the other people you work with ........... ((: You go, girl :))

Hi I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! omg it's so nice to have this channel as an option, you are so incredible and creative! I am an interior architect and your videos help me so much w my career, I HAVE A REQUEST FOR A VIDEO! can you please make a video of client issues? I. E. Something gets ordered wrong and solving problems? Or you dictate the design based on discussions and the clients forget later and say they didn't approve something? There are so many client issues that come up! Talking about money?

Karin great video! I was wondering if in the future you could please make more videos having to do with clients like how to guide them though the process of a design and how to deal with the difficult ones. Thanks !

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Yiniva Uribe Hi Yiniva! Thanks so much for watching and for reaching out to me. Showing client work is always tough because a lot of client topics are private and not open to the public. But that said, I’ll definitely keep your request in mind and try to touch on that a little more! Thanks again for watching. 💕 xK

@kenzachik1585 6 лет назад

Such a great episode! Thank you for always creating and posting amazing content. I get so motivated to get my ass to work whenever I watch one of your videos and I'm not even in the interior design industry. (Also you look gorgeous with your hair up and a more "casual" look!!!!!) x

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

kenza Chik Hi Kenza! Thanks so much for compliment!! What line of work are you in? I’m curious because I love hearing that women are inspired, even if they’re not in interior design. :)

@kenzachik1585 6 лет назад

I recently came across your videos and I think I've now watched all of them :o) Some of them twice. I will share your channel with my class mates as I am currently studying for an Interior Architecture & Design (BA Hons) Degree in the UK. I hope to go into something like exhibition design or retail design. I'm enjoying seeing behind the scenes and your day to day life in the industry. I was wondering, are there many men working in interior design? I just wonder when I eventually start working in the industry if there are many other men or is the industry mostly women? Not that it would be a problem ;o)

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Shelter Helper Hi! Thank you so much for sharing my channel with your classmates. I really appreciate it! There are a few men, but it’s definitely a female-dominates industry. ❤️ xK

Hi🤗🤗! I'm in my senior year in majoring in Community Health and I want to become a Worksite wellness consultant and you inspired me to look into that, thank you! Have you noticed in your clients in offices more intention to designing a space with health in mind such as the desks or better air quality? Just curious

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Imani Herbert Hi! Definitely. People are always taking into account quality of health and trying to improve it through design. So it’s definitely a factor! ❤️ xK

@builderspluscustomhomesand2146 5 лет назад

Well don't pass judgement too quickly. i understand your perspective on it though... There's an interior designer here and she never went to trade school, she opened up shop about 20 years ago and she has nothing but business. Even we collab with her. She does residential and commercial as well. Myself, never went ti architect school, but learned from a=other archs, developed my skills and took some falls before a rise again stronger. Now i collaborate with my I/D and other archs and/or engineers. In the end, clients(here at least) can care less about sheets of paper from a school, the results are what they seek. If they ask for a style or design and you deliver, you've promoted yourself from that post-interview meet to the actual project and it scales from there. At that point it's about the business ethics and so on and only that one person running the show can define that. I started with nothing and never had money to afford expensive course, i learnd from others in the field and when i grew, i them when to a small carpentry skill class and later framing courses and even took a CE course on engineering just so I can gather knowledge in multiple aspects. So "I wouldn't just open up an interior design business and not know anything" ... of course you wouldn't lol. You gained knowledge before you were 100% able to provide.

Karin, just a quick question on your comment about interior design as a profession vs. business school. I thought you had mentioned earlier that you had finished a year of design school in Calgary - was your undergrad in interior design ? Or did you take any additional courses? I’m just curious to lead from your experience. Thanks! :)

Hi Karin! My name is Bridgette and I’m a pillow designer. I also love home decor and I am very good at it collaborating colors and furnishings. I would love to have my own design company, but do you think It is necessary to go to interior design school to have an interior design business? Is it a requirement in order to take on certain kinds of projects? P.S Thank you for being so inspiring I absolutely love your channel. Keep it going!

@KarinBohn 6 лет назад

Bridgette Selmer Hi Bridgette, that sounds amazing that you’re a pillow designer! As far as your question about school, I feel like it’s a loaded question. Maybe I’ll try to address this in a video because many people have been asking the same question!! Thanks so much for watching my content. ❤️🙏🏼
