Think of revenue like a cherry to be popped.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As a person who di-virginizes people’s experian TransUnion and Equifax reports, I know a lot about virginity. Credit virgins have a non existent FICO score and that’s not good. It’s also not good if Capital One de-virginizes you with a $15,000.oo credit line. Plot spoiler: after that raping de la CapOne\/Providian\/First Deposit, you’re ruined.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let’s get your first couple dollars in revenue and have fun doing it.<\/div>\n
