Yes. I wrote out, you know those advance checks that you get?
Like the ones with 0% interest for 12 months? Uh-huh. Well, we had very, very good credit. We weren't making a ton of money. Actually, we were descending into debt the entire time I was working out of my house. I think we had almost $20,000 in credit card debt just from living, like fixing the car and buying groceries and paying medical bills.

So we were not doing well financially, but we had really good credit. We always paid our bills. So we had a really big line of credit to tap from over several different cards. So we sat down and we wrote all the advanced checks out, $125,000. And we did it all at once because we knew as soon as we start doing it, that the banks would start to lower our credit limits.

We knew we had to do it at once. And we spent five months opening up Nadia Cakes in construction. And during those five months, we paid the minimums on the $20,000 worth of credit card debt we already had and then the $125,000 that we had written out. And the day we opened our bakery, we were so broke. We didn't even have cash to put money in the register to make change for customers.

That's how broke we were. And we opened immediate success. People lined up around the building, all the people that came and sat in my living room and held my baby while I filled out their order form. And the people that came and got their wedding cake and then a year later were getting their baby shower cake, they all came to support.
