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!

Bought 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.

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.

I love this program/community I love this program/community! The highest value for me has been the connection of like minded individuals all in different stages of the business buying experience. Time is money so reinventing in the wheel is silly when others have already figured out what work and what doesn’t. Contrarian Community members are always willing to help. I love how inclusive they regardless of where I am in the journey.

It’s exceptional to have such a… It’s exceptional to have such a supportive, knowledgeable community to help guide and consult you through a new business acquisition. 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!!
