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!

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.

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.

Exceeds expectations so far! I have a BBA and MBA, but the Contrarian Course and community has helped me put structure and focus on finding and acquiring small businesses. I'm in the beginning phase of my search but I can't say enough great things about the community. Tons of business professionals ready and willing to help at a moment's notice. The weekly live call collection has been foundational to my journey!

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!
