As an entrepreneur how do you keep from getting overwhelmed?
On this first episode of WEDO Pay It Forward our Host Milena Radakovic interviews Desirée Bombenon, CEO of SureCall Contact Centers. Desirée is a social entrepreneur. Her advice to fellow entrepreneurs is to stay calm and know your purpose and your why. Knowing what you’re accomplishing helps you find the energy when life gets busy.
For Desirée that purpose includes supporting and educating girls in underprivileged communities. She pivoted SureCall to be a purpose driven company back in 2013 and in 2018 launched the Hero Girls mentoring program.
