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

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

[JeremyTalksWitU]

That ending quote is just what I needed before my final

Thanks Professor Bohn

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

[sarahstrickland]

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 💕

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

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 💗

Hi Karin,

I am a student in Omaha, Nebraska and I am graduating with an Interior Design degree in just 10 short days.
I have watched your videos throughout my entire education at my college, and every video you have released has put a smile on my face. You make me realize that all the hard work is worth it, and that I have endless potential.
Just your attitude and motivation towards design alone inspired so many of my projects throughout school. And absorbing your videos on a daily basis makes me realize just how important the business side of Interior Design is.
Thank you for all that you do, for putting an effort into posting this videos on a weekly basis. You truly are inspiring lives, and you and your team are amazing people and such talented designers.
Have a fabulous week!! 💕

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

[quieraj]

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

Hi Karin,
I 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

[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...!

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!

[CarlaBethany]

I love how real Karin keeps it. Also, what amazing clients to allow us to peek inside their meeting.

"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!

[gracie]

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.

[cate]

love every element you outlined as important in a role model

[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

[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!

[oznwsqy]

You are so darling! Strong, SMART and yet such a sensitive empath. Creative like none other. A true genuine authentic human being. Keep up the great work!
