GBBringing 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!

GBAn 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!

GBCome 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!

GBBought a business from this Honestly I hate communities and courses. BUT - I wanted to buy a business so did this, and I bought a business way faster than I ever would have thought possible. I do wish they had more events because the group is incredibly impressive, I learn everytime I surround myself with them. So 4-5 for more events but I did buy a biz so that's worth alot.

GBGreat 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!
