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!

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.

WORTH EVERY PENNY! The amount that I have learned in such short period of time is unmatched! You cannot put a price on the knowledge gained from being part of this community, the relationships you build nor the genuine supportive you receive from the facilitators. Unlike other mastermind groups, those who are leading us leave their egos at the door, are humble and actually want to see us succeed!

Small Biz Ownership Master Class The collaborative environment in this community is above and beyond anything I have been a part of previously and since. This is what the MBA program used to benefit for networking along with a business minded support group at the same time. Every single time I attend a local event, we are genuine to each others pursuits in a time where everyone else is trying to undercut ideas. If you want to expand your mindset into the small business ownership journey, this is by far the best return on investment. Run don’t walk to this opportunity to learn.

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.
