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.

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!

An MBA in small business acquisition with an exceptional community and network.

The contrarian community is an incredible place if you are serious about buying a business!

The community support has been really important for helping me and the members with our business buying journeys. To have others to ask important questions about due diligence, deal structuring, deal sourcing and everything else that goes a long with buying a business is reassuring. You get real answers from facilitators and other members who have already experienced buying a business. They are always working to improve aspects of the community like just recently implemented cohorts for new members to get up to speed more quickly. They added more facilitators and office hour calls so that members can have more direct access to members with much more experience. Could definitely use some more resources on reading and making sense of the financials but I know they are working on a new course for that. They are always asking for feedback so you know they want what's best 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!

I was laid off from my corporate job and despised the idea of jumping into another one. Contrarian Thinking showed me that I could choose a different path -- that of a business owner. I had zero experience in this area and frankly I just thought it was for rich people, but the course and community is amazing. Contrarian Thinking taught me everything I needed to know about buying a business and now i'm the proud owner of a highly profitable tutoring company! Thanks Codie and team!

I have been part of various masterminds or business groups, and this is probably the best one I have experienced. The depth of knowledge, experience is tremendous, and the team are always looking to improve the program or excel at customer experience. I have been part of the Community for 3 years and would highly recommend it to others.
