Main Street Millionaire: How to Make Extraordinary Wealth Buying Ordinary Businesses

A private equity investor’s guide to seeing opportunities for financial freedom all around you, in the overlooked and unassuming businesses that we all take for granted.

Everyone wants ownership, but almost no one gets it. Whether we’re talking about the start-up game, the crypto game, the freelance game, or the lemonade stand game - most paths to ownership lead to dead ends.

That’s why Codie Sanchez carved a new, smarter path to total freedom. In Main Street Millionaire, she reveals the method she teaches her community of seven-figure investors for building wealth by creating a portfolio of boring businesses. That’s right - the money is not in flashy startups or in the corner office. It’s in industries like tile and grout, plumbing, transition repair, residential cleaning, electrical and other unsexy but super profitable businesses that other people overlook.

The money is on Main Street.

In this eminently practical guide, Codieshares how she built her ＄50 million dollar boring business portfolio. You will learn:

• How to enter the small business game when you don’t have a lot of liquid funds using seller financing, SBA loans, and revenue sharing
• How to 10x your already successful small business through genius hiring practices, marketing tactics, and SEO optimization
• What businesses you should never buy and why
• How to manage multiple businesses at once without losing your mind

A warning: The way of the Main Street Millionaire is hard. This path is NOT for those who want ＂passive income＂ while they sip pina coladas on a beach halfway across the world. It’s only for those who want meaning and fulfillment, and are ready to put in the work. Codie’s no-BS, out-of-the-box wisdom is the antidote to a complacent life making other people rich.

Codie is the founder and CEO of Contrarian Thinking, a financial advice enterprise with over 2.5+ million subscribers. She is the co-founder of Unconventional Acquisitions, focused on small business acquisitions for the everyman. She has an M.B.A. from Georgetown University, a master’s from ESADE and Fundação Getúlio Vargas in Brazil, and a B.A. from Arizona State University. She lives in Austin, TX with her husband.
