Truly incredible Truly incredible. No better word to describe the Contrarian Community other than "Accelerator" on how to buy a business. There is something here for every stage of your journey. Whether you just heard about acquisition entrepreneurship yesterday, or have a few under your belt you'll find material, advice, and/or people who can help you learn and take you one step further. Being a W2 employee, this group has enabled me to unlearn 1000 things while pouring a concentrated amount of actionable items on how to buy a biz and mitigate a million risks along the way.

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 was laid off from my corporate job… 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!

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!

A community of like-minded folks for acquisitions The course is very thorough and goes over every aspect of buying a business, ie. your target(deal), mindset, valuation, letter of intent, NDA, financing, and what to expect before AND after you acquire that business. The community and weekly/daily conversations is what you stay for.
