Taking the Leap Into Full-Time Entrepreneurship

In this episode I'm chatting with Dorothy Kolb, an operations and finance executive that made the transition from corporate life to running her business full-time. We know that making that leap can be scary! Dorothy talks about how she became an entrepreneur due to necessity when she was laid off and wanted to spend more time with her children. We're talking everything from how to figure out how much you should have in the bank to the importance of educating oneself, seeking legal advice, and joining communities and courses to gain more knowledge and confidence.

Dorothy, CPA, SHRM-SCP, is an operations and finance executive with over 20 years experience in the sports, media and creative agency spaces including production, operations, and finance roles at CBS Sports, FOX Sports, NBC, Scripps Networks and CBS Radio as well as a foundational accounting start with Deloitte in NYC.

Dorothy is a proud member of the National Association of Women Business Owners, The Upside, Dreamers & Doers®, the Society of Human Resource Management and a Founding Founder of the Female Founder Collective’s 10th House.  She is a mentor with the NASDAQ Mentor Makers program offering mentorship to entrepreneurs on the topics of business modeling, M&A, pricing, budgeting and cash flows.
