For Jack Galper, profits and passion are intricately linked. Three years ago, the San Fernando Valley resident ditched his 20-year career in grocery management to launch Pacific Paddlers, which offers private and group kayaking lessons and guided tours of the Channel Islands and the Sea of Cortez off the Baja peninsula.
Galper says he spent roughly $2,000 to get the business afloat--most of which covered costs of insurance, a Web site and an 800-number.
