00:00First is it wasn't financial because I was extremely conservative with the money.
00:04I put my taxes and salaries before my own money and I wasn't going out with champagne and roses.
00:10So let's put that aside. It was delegating.
00:14It was maybe bringing somebody in for a certain position that wasn't the right fit.
00:21I think that things need to be done organically.
00:25And it's not me that promotes you. It's the people.
00:28You need to be respected by your colleagues in order for them to realize that you were the best.
00:35And so I like to promote anybody at any age, at any stage.
00:40I've had 18 year olds that rocket to the top and guys that have been with me 10 years in
00:44their 40s that just, you know, they mosey on in, do their great job.
00:48But, you know, they're just pawns. They're not knights or kings.
00:52And that's OK. They're still important on the board, but, you know, they're not really making too many moves.
00:57And so you can't for I've tried to force a couple of people that have been with me for years
01:02to do public speaking or in management, but they prefer to be on the phone.
01:06And they said, Richard, instead of me standing up, being uncomfortable and trying to train people for a week, why
01:11don't you put somebody next to me so they can shadow?
01:14And I can work with them on a one to one basis and they can feed off of that sort
01:18of energy.
01:18I'm better in that way.
01:19I'll see you guys.
