La Revista Binacional conoció a Patty Juárez, una mujer cachanilla (de Mexicali, BC) que desde jovencita salió con su familia de México y llega a El Centro, CA a buscar nuevas oportunidades.
Patty nos platica sobre su persona, su vida, su camino y sus inicios en Wells Fargo cuando era una jovencita.
Patty al ingresar a esta institución bancaria tan importante, ve la oportunidad de orientar y educar a los hispanos que necesitan esa “ayuda” y ese “empujoncito” para triunfar en sus negocios.
En esta entrevista, nos platica un poco sobre Dream Builders, un proyecto que va a ayudar a hispanas mujeres emprendedoras lanzarse con su negocio de una manera profesional.
Patty nos platica qué nos falta a los hispanos y latinos para lograr nuestros sueños o crecer los proyectos que ya tenemos empezados y sobre todo hace énfasis que existen las herramientas que todos buscamos para ayudar a solventar nuestro negocio.
Como mujer nos da el consejo de que no podemos ser perfectas en todos nuestros roles, “la perfección lleva mucho sacrificio y la vida no es perfecta”. Nos aconseja a todas las mujeres que todo lo podemos lograr, aun sin ser perfecto en todo.
Los invitamos a escuchar este audio, en español, donde Patty, (que extraña todavía los tacos de Mexicali, el Colegio Frontera y Villafontana) nos comparte consejos personales y profesionales para seguir luchando por lo que queremos.
¡Felicidades, Patty! ¡Esperamos tenerte de nuevo en La Revista Binacional!
