Ed Dale has been an important influence on the Secret Women's Business Network. We all met through the Thirty Day Challenge and have found some of our best training to come through the Thirty Day Challenge, the Underachievers program (no longer available) and the Immediate Edge. So, we were incredibly excited when Ed agreed to talk to us for the SWBN podcast.

Ed gave up nearly 2 hours of his time to talk to Lisa Hartwell and all of it was such valuable content that we have decided to spread it over 3 podcasts, now unofficially called the Ed Dale meets the SWBN Mini-series of Podcasts!

In this podcast, Ed shares his business history and some of the things he learned along the way, as well as the thinking behind the Thirty Day Challenge.

We highly recommend anyone new to online business or new to marketing their business online follow the Thirty Day Challenge at http://www.ThirtyDayChallenge.com. It's free and can be done anytime of the year.

More recently Ed has created the Thirty Day Challenge Plus at http://www.SWBN-Likes.com/30DCplus which is the next step in the process, and teaches more indepth online business skills once the initial market research has been completed.
