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!

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.

A Powerful Community Joining the Contrarian Thinking community has been a revelation. From learning about deal structuring to post-acquisition strategies, the course covers every aspect comprehensively. It is a holistic approach. The interactive support and camaraderie among members have been instrumental in shaping my entrepreneurial journey. Members are always learning and growing together. Highly recommended for its practical guidance and vibrant community.

Well Worth it, Great Community! I am currently reaching out to and reviewing small businesses that I'm considering for an acquisition. This is something I did not think I would be doing this quick into my membership just 3 months ago. I found Codie's content on YouTube shorts and I was impressed and excited to learn more. After attending a free 5 hour webinar I signed up. The community is worth the cost, this is a group of some highly successful individuals that are very generous with their time and readily share their experience and advise. It's a great community that encourages when needed and pushes members to succeed and move forward. I have learned a lot in the past couple months and continue to learn and grow! Thanks Codie and the team!!!

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!
