The course is decent but the size and activity level of the community is better. They seem to be working really hard to make sure everyone who asks for help or feedback gets it. I also appreciate the emphasis they put on members being generous with one another and the facilitators work hard to make themselves available. I also attended the community event, Main St Over Wall St and was impressed with the caliber of members I met. Most people were already successful business owners or high paid employees in their respective industries looking to acquire.

I've been part of this community for the better part of a year and it is, by far, the best community for those looking to acquire a business. The community is huge, active, and very supportive. When you need help with something, people show up to help you out. The community has members across the world--but is definitely U.S.-focused--and has regular events, including a big annual conference that has been one of my favorite business experiences. Folks in your local community also get together for regular, informal meetups to get to know one another, share experiences, and "network" in a way that feels like talking to friends, not self-interested people. Educationally, the program and community is very action oriented. There are some textbook, educational components, but far and away people are action oriented. They want you actually doing things. Actually talking to brokers, actually reviewing financials, actually negotiating deals, etc. Can't stress enough how valuable this community is to me and I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am in my entrepreneurship journey without it. Can you learn these things on your own? Probably. But doing this on your own would take years and years with minimal support and with the unshakeable feeling that you're not quite sure if you're doing things correctly. I'm far and away more educated and confident in SMB acquisitions because of it. Come join us!

Joining the Contrarian Community has been a game-changer for me. The access to resources, expert support, and having a second set of eyes on deals has been invaluable. Programs like MSOWS and the workshops offer practical, actionable insights that I’ve applied directly to my business decisions. Beyond that, the community creates a space for accountability and connection, which has helped me stay on track and make smarter moves. If you’re serious about growing as an entrepreneur and want a group that genuinely cares about your success, this is it.

I believe I’m just scratching the surface but the main street accelerator course was worth the time and effort and certainly feel like the CT community is great to be a part of to continue the conversation in real life scenarios. Would highly recommend to others if they are serious about buying a business!

Contrarian Thinking is a group full of driven entrepreneurs that are so supportive and collaborative. In addition, Codie and her team have an absolute wealth of knowledge about evaluating a business, and the mechanics of making a deal, financing options, due diligence, etc., that I can't even imagine going through this process alone. If you are considering purchasing a business, make the investment and join Contrarian Thinking. You won't regret it!

When you think of like-minded, driven, and generous Go-Givers, this is the community you want to be a part of. Codie has an incredible way of inspiring and connecting with people, and the team behind her brings their mastery to life every week, making each session impactful. If you're ready to let go of hesitations, feel empowered, and surround yourself with a supportive group that will cheer you on, pick you up when you stumble, and celebrate your wins, then this is the place for you. It’s more than a community—it’s a space of growth and encouragement.

Contrarian Thinking is one of my favorite things to read right now. In fact, I look forward to it. It's full of great advice presented in a way that makes you want to get your butt out of your chair and go find your dream and your dream business. Read it and you won't be disappointed.

This is more than just a group or a community, it's a family. No matter what you need or what questions you have, this group is here to help you and teach you what no school ever has or ever will. The connections made here will always be with you.
