Freelance Business Unlocked

Anja Lordanić

Have you ever asked yourself: “How do I get more leads and clients?” “When is the right time to pivot?” “Do I really need a new website right now?” “How do I balance my finances in alignment with my personal goals?” “How do I get better at public speaking?” “What’s the best way to use email for my business?” “How do I launch a podcast?” If so, you’re in luck. The experts I bring on have all the answers you need to make your small business bigger, but not in the way you might think. Throughout the episodes, my guests and I openly share our successes, failures, and everything in between. You're not in for a bunch of sugarcoating sessions; instead, you'll learn how to run your small business *your* way — sustainably, strategically, and with ease. My name is Anja, and as a small business owner from Croatia, I know what it’s like to look at mega-successful entrepreneurs and creators worldwide and think, “How do I make this a reality for myself?” This is exactly the goal of Freelance Business Unlocked — to help you see what’s possible, no matter where you live and the types of clients you serve. Tune in and learn about effective marketing strategies, podcasting, financial management, email marketing, copywriting, sales, parenthood and entrepreneurship, and much more.

    #100: The Glaringly Obvious Lessons After Recording, Editing, and Publishing 100 Podcast Episodes + Farewell!

    You can't know what milestones actually feel like until you reach one. It's nice, but not neeearly as fancy as you might think. (No one randomly popped a can of confetti at me this week. Disappointing.) It's especially difficult to let this sink in when this is just another episode you're recording at home. By yourself. BUT, it did happen. 100 podcast episodes. 100 consecutive weeks. In this last episode of the Freelance Business Unlocked podcast (for now!), I'm sharing 3.5 glaringly obvious lessons, some of which took me too long to acquire. But you live and you learn. No progress happens unless you're in motion. Anyway, thank you for tuning in, sticking around, and taking the time to message me. I'll forever cherish this project, but it's time for something new. (The link to "something new" will be the first thing that you see in these show notes once it goes live!) And I hope this episode will inspire you to either keep going with your thing, or to find the courage, time, and energy to start anew. 3 P.S. If you feel a sense of relief after letting go of something, that means you've made the right decision. ___________ JUST IN CASE you thought you got rid of me ;), here are the next steps: Let's stay in touch on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjalordanic/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE 5-DAY PODCASTING MINI-COURSE — Everything you need to know before starting your podcasting journey.

    #95: You DO Have Enough Time to Launch a Podcast (Debunking the Myth)

    Book a 60-minute consult call ($197) — Let's find a way how to make podcasting a part of your weekly routine on YOUR terms. Laura Plantak's podcast Systems With Laura (our interview) — Spotify, YouTube ___________ If you're here, that means you're a business owner, a freelancer, or a creative. Or all of the above. And chances are, you've probably thought to yourself (at least once in your business life) – “I should launch a podcast.” But once you started digging around, you quickly found yourself overwhelmed with all the information, and the only thought you were left with was “I can’t fit all of THIS into my schedule.” If that’s the case, keep on listening. I was recently invited to a podcast hosted by my lovely friend, Laura Plantak, where we discussed a bunch of podcasting topics, but this mini excerpt you’re about to hear relates to the issue I mentioned a minute ago. This thought is very real as I experienced it myself (multiple times), which is why I wanted to speed up the process for you so you’re no longer left stuck in this “I don’t have the time” mentality. We find time for everything we have to do, as well as for some things we enjoy, right? Let’s make podcasting one of those non-negotiables. Enjoy this week’s episode! ___________ Let's connect on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjalordanic/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thank you and see you next week!
