51:28 – “It sounds weird to say it in the current environment but I 100% believe it Adam there has never been a better time to start a new business or pivot in business than there is right now”
~ Ed DaleÂ
By law, I have to say this…
So it might as well be right now…
Just because Ed achieved those results, there’s no guarantee that it will happen the same for your side hustle.
Ed took decisive action and worked exceptionally hard for a month to make it happen.
I know nothing about yourself or your side hustle, so there’s no way that I can predict the results that you’d be able to achieve.
I’d hate for you to think if you take action and work hard as well that you’ll be able to get an awesome result.
YES, that’s SARCASM, but it should keep my lawyer happy!
