#2: Cesar Quintero, founder of Fit2Go:

We chatted with with Cesar, founder of Fit2Go ($130K/month). In our interview, Cesar says:

Additionally:

#3: Uri Attia, founder of Portable Chef:

We chatted with with Uri, founder of Portable Chef ($62K/month). In our interview, Uri says:

I felt I understood the demands of busy New Yorkers, and how a customizable food service could provide value not just with good food, but by taking one to-do item off people’s (metaphorical) plates.

Additionally:

A satisfied customer will stay with you; a *thrilled* customer will refer others to you, and those people will be better prospects than someone you attract through advertising.
