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.

GBI 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!

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!

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!

I’m so impressed with the level of experts they have coaching member. These are seasoned professionals who each have their expertise and are highly involved with the students. Even though it’s a large group, you get very readily get 1:1 coaching on anything related to acquiring and managing a business. I’ve so impressed so far! And I never write reviews!!
