#2: David Downing, founder of ChipMonk Baking:

We chatted with with David, founder of ChipMonk Baking ($90K/month). In our interview, David says:

We learned how important earned media exposure can be, so we are always actively reaching out to influencers, bloggers, YouTubers, and traditional media to see if they’d be interested in sharing our story.

Additionally:

Know your numbers and be very conservative with financial forecasts. Make sure you understand your profitability metrics and plan for times where your sales goals will not be met due to unseen circumstances.

Further:

Know that you are in this for the long haul. If you’re not willing to spend years on this project, you may want to reconsider. Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay.
