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.

Great community, So Supportive, and Tons of Resources I'm so amazed at how interactive everyone in the community is! Everyone is so eager to help and offer solutions. And there's a huge archive of resources. I'm still new and having fun going through the process. I'm excited to buy my first business and contribute to the community as well.

Great support The group has a ton of knowledge as a collective. Several questions that we couldn't find already covered in the channel received at least a direction to look if no one knew the answer outright. We've been able to connect with a couple members that have been accountability partners, or given experiential advise in a particular industry. We haven't bought a business yet (it's been 6 months) but it's looking hopeful. Just put in the reps!

Bringing A Lot of Wisdom to One Specific Goal I joined Contrarian Thinking while I was out of the U.S.A. in June, 2023. I was in the middle of taking in my version of experiences and building up more tools to use in my future business world. The Contrarian Community has given me thoughtful real-world tools to collect and value and share all I already know, and add that to all I am quickly learning from them, and put all that energy into finding a business that makes sense to me. I agree with everyone who says it’s a way to do solo independent accomplishments with other like-minded collaborators!
