Daria Lorenci Flac: Strength, passion and entrepreneurship
Daria Lorenci Flac is a famous Croatian actress, mother, owner of the creative laboratory “Četiri sobe” and a woman of authentic energy. Her interview with Barbara Cerinski inspires not only actresses and artists, but also everyone who dreams of their own project or business. With an emphasis on experiential wisdom, Daria openly talks about the challenges, successes and inner struggles that accompany every true entrepreneurial path.
Challenges and motivation of entrepreneurs
Daria created her project “Four Rooms” out of personal need, passion and desire to contribute to the community. Today, this laboratory brings together hundreds of children, numerous mentors and an author’s program. “Four Rooms is a creative laboratory for children and young people, and now a little bit for adults too. I have always chosen the leaders as if they were my own child – because the program grows organically, from experience, like a family business,” says Daria honestly.
The key strength of the whole story is passion:
“Nothing is too hard for me. I am so passionate about it, when you have passion and when you want to do something – you don’t ask, you don’t measure. I do whatever it takes to make it perfect!”
From running workshops, camps, administration, communication with parents and the media – every segment of the business passes through her hands. Authenticity is precisely the reason why the “Four Rooms” project is special: “If my Tin wasn’t at the camp for two days, something would be missing. But four weeks – that’s it, I work as if for my child.”
Administration and communication challenges
Despite her enthusiasm, Daria honestly admits the hardest part of entrepreneurship is communicating with parents about membership fees and organization: “The only thing that’s hard for me is communicating with parents. When someone owes me a membership fee, it’s a personal insult to me… People say to me, wait, are you calling? Because I personally understand that.“
He says that it is time to delegate and rationalize the business: “We are hiring three managers, I am reorganizing the entire work… I am going in the direction of a very precise systematization and division of tasks, and that makes me really happy!“
Passion and vision – a message to everyone
Daria recognizes that every entrepreneur carries their own burden, but the key is in “what sign you put on each situation”:
“It’s up to us to choose what kind of life we will have. Regardless of the circumstances, one can stay on the bright side. It’s hard to live it always, but it’s true.”
Without embellishing, Daria points out: “What people don’t know is that this is not where we get rich. It’s not that kind of business. We actually do something very noble and earn some salary, and everything else is a contribution.”
When asked what she would say to her sixteen-year-old Daria, a refugee from Sarajevo, a girl facing elections and the sins of life, Daria concluded: “That little girl was great. She had joy, indomitability, she always went forward despite everything. I still have that to this day. That is perhaps my greatest gift.“
