Some years ago I was treasurer for the Federated Garden Clubs of New York 
State.
I moved into the job not knowing anything about what it involved, but soon 
found
that they were running a large operation out of hand-written ledgers. I set 
about
getting the operation computerized - even gave them an old computer (IBM XT)
and ran the system on Quicken in parallel with the ledgers for a full year to 
convince the office staff and others that it was going to work.  The whole 
time I
was making it up as I went along.  Well, when I retired from that job - term 
limits
in the bylaws - I said to the office manager "I guess I really lucked out - I 
was
flying blind all the way, but it seems to have worked."  She replied "I never 
thought
for a moment that you didn't know exactly what you were doing."
