#4: Jessica Baumgart, founder of Delicious Denver Food Tours:

We chatted with with Jessica, founder of Delicious Denver Food Tours ($75K/month). In our interview, Jessica says:

On that trip around the world, I started to question why I was working in a career that was making me unhappy and resolved to start really listening to what my passions were.

Additionally:

I’ve learned a lot through trial by fire. As I run into new problems, I work to find solutions. I think it’s most important for entrepreneurs to just keep taking baby steps. Eventually, they’ll find that they’ve made huge progress.

Further:

In my first month of business, I booked a large private corporate tour. On the phone, the client asked me to send over my contract by the end of day. I didn’t have a contract and literally had to google a template, but I made it up, sent it over, and the client booked right away.
