181. Is Buying Boring Small Businesses Better Than Starting Your Own? Codie Sanchez Makes $50M/Year From This

We're willing to bet if you’ve opened YouTube in the last 12 months, you’ll recognize today’s guest: accomplished investor, founder of Contrarian Thinking, and rising media mogul, Codie Sanchez. Codie took the Internet by storm with her enthusiasm (and smarts) for buying boring small businesses. In short, you’re buying the profits of an existing small business instead of starting one from scratch. But what exactly is a boring small business? Don’t worry, Codie will give us a refresher before we dive into today’s case study on how she built a portfolio of small businesses she owns that make $50 million a year collectively - without her operating in the day-to-day. One thing we love most about Codie is that she’s also an advocate for financial transparency, so in her case study you’ll get to hear the exact deal structure of a recent acquisition and all the numbers involved: cost, revenue, and profits. If you’ve ever felt destined to be an entrepreneur but not a founder, or you’re already running a successful business and want to invest your profits to build wealth that doesn’t depend on you, get ready for Codie to blow open a whole new world of possibilities.
