Blaženka Urbanke is a name associated with the pioneering days of Croatian IT when she, along with her husband, founded the company HSM Informatika, as well as the Club of Senior Entrepreneurs SENTOR, an independent, non-profit organization where (former) entrepreneurs and business experts advise others on how to succeed.
In the latest episode of Lider’s podcast, with journalist and host Sandra Babić, Urbanke discusses what the transition of a family business looks like, what it means to hand over a ‘child’ that you have nurtured for 30 years – and how to cope with the emotions that this process inevitably brings.
In a world where entrepreneurship is glorified as a never-ending race, Urbanke openly talks about the toughest decisions, the differences between business and family, and why mentoring is now her ‘new startup’ – with more meaning than ever. She also reveals who can apply for free consultations, how this type of mentoring serves entrepreneurs, and what every entrepreneur must know if they want to succeed in business and in life.
