G'day Richard,

I can believe it.... He seemed like a pretty hyperactive guy on the show!

He was a very good salesperson-type.... Always full of excitement no matter what he was up to. :)

It was interesting, because the three of them weren't all the same "type" of personality.... Ron was the super-salesman. The other two weren't, so it was cool to see what they did too.... :)

Anyway, I'll write it up later tonight or perhaps tomorrow (Aussie time) what each of them did.... :)

That's what I would have thought! But I would have thought wrong....

The thing these guys did was they knew how to use other services. I suffer from the desire to try to do everything myself.... These guys outsourced, and gosh, I discovered it's a darn good way to do things!

Your Yellow Pages is your friend. :)

Yeah, that's what amazed me.... Though they could use their *talents*, but that's about it....

I'd say they all did quite well! The one which did *worst* still ended up with a bit over $13,000 -- that's still $3,000 more than this person started out with, in just 2 1/2 days.

Here are the exact figures they each ended up with (in no particular order).... As Thomas indicated, they were.....

$13,068, $31,315, and last (but not least)..... $65,466.

How did they do it? That's coming later.... :)

None of them took out any loans....

Yes, the winner had the most CASH....

Heheh..... :) One of them was a gambler, this person did some betting on the horses. :) But only made a little bit of money doing that....

I'll post the details either tonight or tomorrow (Aussie time).... :)
