my own and what I
52:02
had was if you gave me a,
52:05
and I laugh thinking about it now,
52:07
but if you gave me a $200
52:09
donation, I
52:11
could see in the bank account I
52:13
had such visibility over where
52:16
the donations were and the slow
52:18
build. But what I would
52:20
do is I'd then go into my Word
52:23
template that I had on my computer and
52:25
it was a two-page letter. And
52:27
throughout the document, there were three words
52:29
that were in red. And that meant
52:32
for me, I had to go in
52:34
and type and change those words each
52:36
time from dear Nicole to
52:38
dear Omar. Thank you, Omar,
52:40
and all the best Omar through
52:43
the docu- I did that three times, every
52:45
document. I'd print it out, I'd hand write
52:47
a receipt, I kid you not, hand write
52:49
a receipt, I'd get a photo from one
52:52
of the drawings the kids had done, put
52:54
that in an envelope, I'd hand write on
52:56
the front of the envelope, the next day
52:58
I'd head to the post office to send
53:00
these out, these donations. And
53:03
that was how I did every
53:05
receipt initially, like because the spreadsheets
53:07
and all of that kind of
53:09
stuff, it might as
53:11
well have been in a different language
53:13
to me. But how do you move
53:15
beyond that? Well, then I think you
53:17
invest in people, invest in people and
53:19
systems and processes, know what you're
53:22
good at and know what you're not and
53:24
bring people in to help you with those.
53:26
You know, I don't think you need, and
53:28
I think it's a disservice to try to
53:32
have the skills to do it all
53:34
yourself and be the master of all
53:36
of this. And, you know, my- the
53:38
biggest weakness I have at the board
53:41
meetings is my financial literacy of P&Ls.
53:44
And we have five entities across three
53:46
different countries. And I look at
53:48
those- some of those documents and it's like
53:50
I see figures just moving on the page.
53:52
And I look at the bottom and I
53:55
go, what's our net position? And then I
53:57
ask those who have the skill and have
53:59
the skills.
