An Amazing Community! Prior to joining this community, I never thought about buying a small business. I've always been on the real estate investing track - which has its own unique challenges. So the idea of being able to buy a business was planted in my head through Codie's excellent content, I knew I had to deep dive into everything. The Contrarian Community has been fantastic...the support and feedback from facilitators and other members have been extremely helpful in my own business buying journey. Having content and resources is one half of the equation but a community with members helping each other to succeed is more valuable than you can imagine. There's no formal education on small business acquisition so this community has been nothing short of amazing!

If Business Ownership is Calling You If you have the calling to be a business owner but you’re not sure how to actually do it this is the place to be. The investment is worth it and I do recommend if you can swing it to attend the live annual event. The course(s) are really good at giving you a solid foundation of knowledge. The community is very responsive to questions and shares a ton of examples (real deals they’re working on) that provides its own education. I happen to live in an area where we have 5-6 people local and we meet. I joined in the summer of 2023 and made my first offer in Oct 2023 which I ultimately decided not to move forward with during due diligence. I made an offer for another business in January 2024 and I’m about 3 weeks from closing as I write this. I believe I was able to structure the financing of the deal solely from the information I obtained from being part of this community.

I didn’t buy a job I bought a business I just closed on a business after being in the community for 18months. Without the calls, the access to knowledge from other members, and the live events I would never have bought a business. I was surrounded by people who care and are competent and really want you to succeed. I did not buy a job. I bought a business, a business that is perfect for me and I couldn’t have done it without CT. Thank you Codie!

Come for the course. Stay for the community! I've been following Codie Sanchez for probably 2 years on Instagram. My current business is Mountain Laurel Handrails awoodrailing.com but I wanted to build a more diversified mini empire that my 4 kids could grow into. Something that would enable us as a family to bring together diverse interests while also making the money needed to survive and thrive in this world. I decided to go for it and joined the mastermind. Honestly, it's like buying my way into a room full of like minded people some of whom are very successful in acquiring and scaling businesses. The course is very helpful and way more educational and beneficiary than any class I took in college. It took a while for me to get a feel for the community but now it's a place where I can go to talk about things that very few people in my personal life can connect with or offer any insight about. Reading other people's experiences has helped to shape what I'm looking for and been educational from a different perspective. Come for the course. Stay for the community!

A Powerful Community Joining the Contrarian Thinking community has been a revelation. From learning about deal structuring to post-acquisition strategies, the course covers every aspect comprehensively. It is a holistic approach. The interactive support and camaraderie among members have been instrumental in shaping my entrepreneurial journey. Members are always learning and growing together. Highly recommended for its practical guidance and vibrant community.
