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.

GBGet The Acquisition Information You Need Right Here! I have had my eyes opened with a real education working within this community for the past 14 months. Everything has been laid out for me - from starting a search to talking with brokers in detail about businesses for sale, dealing intelligently with lenders & engaging the right professionals to be part of my acquisition team. I can't believe how confident I now feel in my quest to buy a solid, profitable business! Thank you everyone at Contrarian Thinking - this is beyond genius!

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!

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!

GBIf 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.
