Snippets from the Episode

• “A lot of times, the low-hanging fruit is the receivables.” - Lisa Dionisio
• “ I always say, just get the line of credit. Don't pull on it, but it's just your safety net.” - Lisa Dionisio
•  ”Overhead is tough to get down. So don't get it up in the first place.” - Martin Holland
•  The truth is, if you don't have the cash, if you haven't done a line of credit, or you don't have a way to get a decent interest rate cash, then you're going to be up a creek if you're not getting enough up front.” -Lisa Dionisio
