Terrific, value packed newsletter. Low jargon count and high practical ADVICE COUNT.

Jesse Dees

Codie,

I have been enjoying the coverage of ways people are identifying market niches and going after them in different ways. The RV park with dog them, small acreage flower producer, etc. these help me to get thinking about how I can leverage my passions in a similar way to get started. By breaking these down like you have it helps me learn how others have gone about it and gets ideas flowing. It also is training me for things to look for in the markets that may not be getting coverage and leaving niche gaps. So, what I would like to learn is how to capitalize on an expertise and passion with a business of low entry cost but large upsides. Thanks for sharing and asking!

Hi Codie,

When I watch videos of you speaking, you have such a brilliant and well focused business mind. I've seen maybe 10 of your videos both as a presenter and as a guest. I'm always struck by how you think about business, seemingly always knowing the right course of action. This is obviously the result of years and years developing you mindset and the experiences you've had. For someone who doesn't come from that background, I'm always curious how you get from point A to point B in your thinking.You've mentioned many books and I plan on reading several( I've read a few so far), but what would be the #1 thing is to learn how you think from a perspective of someone who doesn't have that mindset developed yet. To demonstrate the attainable goal for the person with very limited resources through developing that mindset would be great.I learn SO much every time I watch you. There is always a wow! How did she know that moment. I hope I'm making sense.Maybe personal coaching/hand holding (so to speak) for those of us just wanting to get off the ground?Teaching people how to enjoy doing business when it's not natural (yet)? Just a few thoughts....

Tonya Handerek

Good day Codie's team!

I just stumbled across Codie's YouTube channel. The video on these 19 books will make you rich was fantastic. I just really liked her energy! Thanks Tonya Sent from Gmail Mobile On Mon, Apr 29, 2024 at 4:01 PM Codie Sanchez < support@contrarianthink.com> wrote: CONTRARIAN

Cody Hendrix

My name is Cody Hendrix. I signed up because I want to learn, grow, and build up a life on my own terms bringing value to the world. I work in Midland, TX in the Oil and Gas Industry, I have been with the same company for almost 10 years now. Through my time at my current job, almost 10 years, I have had this nagging, growing desire to bet on myself and build my own wealth instead of working to make others rich. I always feel like I am behind the ball and when I came across Codie I just felt this gut feeling that I need to step up and take action for myself. I do not have a ton of financial education, but I do have a strong desire to learn. I'll take the bet on myself. I am excited to learn from you guys.

Emily Daniell

Hi, I've just been totally inspired listening to Codie on the notalone podcast, in particular the first 40 minutes. I'm a lawyer by training and, having just moved abroad with my husband's job, am starting to try out legal consulting so that we have the flexibility to keep moving around... BUT I don't want to be a lawyer forever - I want to run my own businesses. I've had fledgling ideas over the years and always struggled to work out how to actually make them reality! I was also so inspired by her comments on buying into smaller businesses. Look forward to reading more.

So here in reading it's much better. Codie we do appreciate you. Thank you for all your research I appreciate that you always back up what you say with facts and figures Thank you!!

I realize it may not be practical for Codie to write as many emails as she once did, or maybe it was a different writer, but in any case, it would be great to have Codie (or other writer who wrote this piece) write more frequently. Say, once a month, or something along those lines. I've subscribed to this list for a bit and plan to pull the trigger when the time is right for me... TBD. There have been a number of pieces that I'd consider "fluff" pieces in recent months that almost drove me to unsubscribe. I'm short on time and only subscribe to lists that provide the most value. They've gotten better recently, and reading pieces like this are what caught my attention in the first place. Hoping for more of it, and wishing your team the best

This email is personal for me. I couldn't be happier in switching carrier paths and learning HVAC. About to finish my certification and open my own company. Its been one of the hardest things I've ever done but 100% worth it. I am 38 and in 5 years I went from making 60k a year to 100k. Hoping to make more in the years to come by owning a business.

I love your newsletter- I can't say enough good things about it. That being said, trash is terrible to start from scratch- especially in the residential market. Double especially in the residential open market (like this). How do I know? I used to run a $100M trash company and have experience consulting newcomers to the trash industry. I've seen a hundred guys like him in residential trash and they all end up shutting down. Trash is very capital intensive and is operationally challenging. The truck pictured is a hunk of garbage- it will break down soon, and it won't be for a flat tire. What happens the first time it goes down for 6 weeks for a back ordered part? He will lose all of his customers and will be out 40k. Also- the pricing he mentioned is not realistic. It may be for one neighborhood- but the average going rate is 20- 25 dollars a home. Once again- I love this newsletter and it's full of gems- that's why I was surprised to read this.

Not sure if one can even "reply" to newsletters, but here it goes: You are a ROCK STAR storyteller! I subscribe to several newsletters and often don't have the time to read them all. I skim some and if something interesting hits me, I make time. This issue specifically was very long (I always scroll to see how long something is even before I commit to reading it). At first glance, I was sure I wouldn't be reading the entire thing. Then, you sucked me in with this garbage man's story. Your side comments and anecdotes make the story seem like we are sitting at a bar and you are telling me this crazy story you heard about. That's how it reads and it's so engaging.Thanks for being uniquely you. We need more women entrepreneurs sharing their stories, tools and tricks. We all rise together through this knowledge. Thank you for what you do. Melissa Bellemare

Great message. It resonates with the sincerity that got me to subscribe minutes in to the first YT video of yours that I viewed. FYI, the CTA page for "10 Steps to Buying a Business that Cashflows" lists under "How to find the BEST off-market deals and AVOID the bad ones" the same content as "Why now is the perfect time..."Trying to clear my calendar for the 25th.

Hey Codie, I just watched the podcast, and I have to admit that I was really impressed. You really did seem to hit home with a lot of the facts, and the real talk information you shared got me thinking about a lot of different things. This made me realize that I have a few business ideas for the year ahead that I need to structure differently, but I also could be doing with your advice, so I'll be in contact with you in a few days.Chat soon 100

Thanks Codie madam and the entire contrarian thinking team,for making us stay in Adelante mode, in learning and precise steps to implement in acquisition of small scale businesses, and how to exit at proper time, to chase another by following our upgrades in life.

Brian Yang

I find the constraint theory to be helpful. ATM, our gLTV is just not high enough, which is limiting ability to scale paid, so that's all we're focusing on.

Megha Singh

I am a business coach and consultant based in Singapore and receive so much value from your newsletter and YouTube for my work as well as to grow my business :-) I'm gunning to hit 1 million in revenue this year and your content is extremely helpful in my journey right now.I also help companies create awesome marketing and build cross-cultural communities so please reach out once you are ready to expand into Asia.

G Smith

Loved this email Codie (and team)! So much wisdom was included in there. Thank you for my biggest take-a-ways: 1. "Entrepreneurship" was defined perfectly in my opinion. 2, 'My word is my contract' (even Especially to myself) 3. 'Do what's necessary even when it hurts!' 4. People want "the weird" over "the boring" 5. Show RESULTS instead of INTENTIONS! ATPA

Luis Guerrero

Be prepared with an answer for "What's in it for me?" when asking for something, especially when building relationships when key profiles obter can help you in my path to mastery the biz- buying path. But don't wait for a plan to be perfect to stay meeting those people, start walking the path and they will come.

Deborah Rotman

I built and sold my own multi doctor mobile small animal in-home euthanasia practice to a mega corp here in Oregon, I really enjoy the info you share! One suggestion on this newsletter in particular is to add: to consider if you as the owner are directly producing income, then either you need to go and work for the new company to continue producing that income, or if not, then that income generation either needs to be replaced by another individual in your company or it needs to be subtracted from the gross revenue of the business when presenting to the buyer.

Thanks for another awesome and insightful newsletter!

Erin Rhoads

First off, I came across your Instagram page and was delighted to see Contrarian Thinking supports conservative, Christian beliefs. That hooked me right then and there, because... I've had this gut feeling for a few months now, that I'm not doing what I am supposed to be doing. I work for a large pharmaceutical company in Indiana, making sure their scientific equipment is maintained and up to the highest standards required for clinical trials. I am tired of feeling like I am not accomplishing anything, especially when my paycheck does not reflect the amount of work and emotion I put into being the best. I'm tired of working for companies who don't care about us. I want to do something fulfilling, that makes me money, so I can use it to improve the life of my family and those around me.

Quincy Jackson

I'm more curious to read "The Artist's Way." I'll be getting it soon. I also signed up for the upcoming masterclass on the 14th. Can't wait to continue my learning. I started watching the videos that are included in preparation for the master class. Not many people do that, and it's given me an understanding of what to expect in the class.

IMHO there are in fact four types in your Value #3. The fourth type does all the things that #3 does even when they didn't drop the towel. They also pick up rubbish they didn't drop on the floor when they are walking over somebody else's factory - even, perhaps especially, when no-one is around to see it. The people who do that are true owners, because they care deeply, even when it is not their property. They are rarer than the other three but they're the best (and the standard, I think, we should aspire to).

Brad William Nickel

You are absolutely amazing Codie! I read this and will reread it until its burned in the back of my mind.

Ingrid Molloy

This is so true! I've talked with two business owners in the past month that had what I thought were reasonable price tags on their business, but the reason was that they had no business at all and just thought they could make bank because established small businesses are hot right now.

The information you shared was completely helpful and provided a fresh perspective on building a successful YouTube business. As an aspiring small business owner, I found Ali's journey from doctor to YouTube sensation truly inspiring. It goes to show that with the right niche and dedication, anyone can achieve remarkable success. The importance of finding a niche market and catering to its specific needs was one of the key takeaways for me. By focusing on a particular skill set or interest, it becomes easier to provide relevant and valuable content to a dedicated audience.

Getting straight to it... The most valuable subscribe button I've ever pressed (by farrr) This newsletter made the news in my world. An absolute top story of my mid-morning reads. * Human * Relatable * Simplicity of language * My 8yr old can make sense of this * So simple, why didn't I write it * This is the kind of thing I need in my inbox during office hours because I can take 1 bite, chew and implement. This newsletter is literally an extension of what an assistant should bring you when you own an establishment of your own.

Michael OConnor

Feedback you asked for on this newsletter: You did blow my mind (one of the options)...and not all of it was because of the bizarre wall hanging you have! You also have so much insight. And energy. And positivity. It's pretty amazing. Thank you for being you and for sharing all that you have to inspire others.

This was an awesome read, thank you! I'm a 2nd grade teacher/actress/improvisor in LA and have been wanting to start my own thing for awhile. It's inspiring to read stories like this. I mean, I love that he was just happy with a 600k profit - that is the dream!! and love that you said: They could pay themselves, focus on the bottom line, and if the top line didn't grow, they'd be fine. No venture capital. No billion-dollar unicorn status. Just a relatively small, profitable biz. Your content is incredible and I love that you are a confident woman with so much experience and success that I can learn from - as well as learn from the people you interview! Also I think it's cool we can reply to your emails for feedback - not many people do that. Happy New Year!

It was informative, insightful, and witty! You've opened the door and continue to, introducing people like me to the inside of the special circle called wealthy.

I literally just asked my manager here where I work if there was one book she would recommend for sales, an hour ago... then, I saw your email!I plan to start reading right away! In Sincerity,Brita Alaburda

Thank you! I actually watched your video on this. I have a credit on audible and I will start with the first one!

Chris Parker

As a book editor, it's an inspiring list - I particularly love the takeaways. (An important reminder that books must make a meaningful promise to readers - and deliver on it - to justify their existence.) I know I must sound like a broken record, but it would be a great honour to work with you one day on your own book. I feel your insights and attitude are more than enough to create a book that sits alongside these titles. And Harriman with its author-centric approach and global backing as part of Pan Macmillan - would be the ultimate creative partner for you! Do let me know if you ever want to see any of our books or discuss the possibilities!

Digbijoy Deb

I haven't read such a wonderful piece about book suggestions before. The way the article is divided into different sections has attracted me, such as favorite quotes, why read the book, and whether I'll read the book or listen to it. I have truly enjoyed the way it's Thanks again for this excellent piece of writing. Regards, Digbijoy Deb Bangladesh

Helen Alfheim

This is my first ever reply to any kind of mailer but I really loved this one, so much so that I read to the end and am following the prompt to reply.The format is very easily digestible and concise with why I should read these books.I also like how you put the recommendation on how to consume the book whether it was a read or listen. That was a nice touch.I will start with the book Mindset. I have on kindle but never completed it.Thanks to the team who put this together!

JCN

Thank you, nice newsletter, I search for all the books I didn't read yet,I like this sort of newsletter that have things to read inside

Martin Schuler

I bookmark all your emails ;) i am going to re-read 48 laws of power. It is also a fine read for history nerds like me! thanks for the awesome content!

Mark Bachanek

Keep em coming! Always looking for more knowledge. Have only read two of these.. Rich dad, and 48 laws. Thanks for your work Mark

Bad ass! Thank you Codie and team!

Thank you for your email.Your efforts are recognised and most of all your work of excellence is appreciated I hope you and your family have a fabulous day ahead.

Veronica Giordano

Thank you for pushing us and pushing us! There is so much to learn and absorb! It may take a bit longer than I wanted, but I'm learning a ton and I'm excited. It will happen!

Very motivating list I really want to hone in more on the contrarian thinking concept.

Victa P

Mindset is a solid one but it hurts my head reading it. Its so densely packed with all the things I'm doing wrong! Changing mindset is tough but its a journey I'm committed to

Samantha Davis Croc...

I can't thank you enough for this email. I read a book summary every morning using Headspace and I'm always on the hunt for the next mindset, business, wealth, or related life leveling-up book.I added every single one of these titles to my queue in Headspace, Audible, or my Amazon cart. I'll probably make my way through about 60-80% by end of year. I love you. Haha Thank you Codie (for being awesome, I call you my business coach even tho you aren't...yet) and team. You guys add enormous value to my life.

Patrick Buckley

This week's newsletter was absolute! I have already read/own 6 of the books on the list so that automatically gave me a little burst of energy knowing the ones I've read are being recommended by someone I respect a LOT. I am actually applying to Acquisition.com for a role this week and have been following the Hormozis for a while. The YouTube video done with them and Cody was incredible.Keep doing what you guys do!

annie blossom

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH THE TITLE. BOOKMARKED INDEED! HAVE BEEN WANTING TO READ A FEW OF THESE FOR A WHILE NOW SO THIS IS THE EXTRA PUSH NEEDED!!!!.

Vineesh Sandhir

Thanks Cody, this is one of the best emails received out of all the emails you send out!! Love your content !!

Killer Newsletter!

Mike Meline

Newsletter was amazing this week. Thank you!

Chris Boyd

This has got to be one of the best newsletter emails I have ever read.Thank you very much for sending this through!

Susan Glusica

LOVE these suggestions! I've read only one of them so far, so I have some catching up to do, LOL. Putting them on my Kindle/Audible list.

Bec James

Your last two newsletters have been outstanding!

Rutger Katz

Hey Codie and team.Loved these recommendations from your LI post few weeks back and already finished a few of them.This is a great informative mail.

Christine Andrews

You weren't kidding I bookmarked it. Thanks for sharing! Add to cart

Julie Khan

This is an excellent newsletter and great read! Thank you!!!

Gilberto Casillas

I didn't read through the whole list but I read about 5 of them and I reckon you're on to something! I really do appreciate this email and am very happy with the layout and the list; I will definitely be archiving this one so that I can refer back to it. Bravo!

Skt

Hi, this is truly an amazing compilation. Continue to be inspiring...

David Tuari

I am really enjoying the content, it is helping me so much.

Kevin Caldwell

Great topic in this newsletter! As important as understanding the "how to" is, it's just as important to understand the "what not to do", maybe more so. My biggest takeaway is that it doesn't have to be glamorous. I'm a somewhat recent subscriber, but nearing the end of the 6-month period of your 3-6-12 framework. Shopping for the right business is hard, and I'm no further along in finding the right one. I tend to think it has to be sexy, not boring, and something I'd be proud to own. Maybe that's what's slowing me down.

Christopher Busken

Choosing the wrong partners is going to seriously alter my life's plan. I can't overstate the importance of this step. Preach!

Great stuff Codie! Just in from The Irish EY Entrepreneur of The Year Awards Dinner...24 great Finalists....a terrific winner...in pallets! Flying in a few hours across to Cape Town to get some sun & sleep.Will try and download some of your brain dumps for the trip! Keep them coming!

"Refreshing and thought-provoking, your contrarian thinking newsletter challenges conventional wisdom, promotes critical thinking, and covers entrepreneurial diverse range of topics. I Highly recommend it for those seeking no BS perspectives."

Samantha Douse

Got some copywriting ideas and also enjoyed the practical tips on delegating.Thanks for sharing!

Seth Prezant

Talking about elimination...Codie, I have been unsubscribing to every newsletter I somehow signed up for since 1994, except yours.In fact, I look forward to consuming your newsletter because it 1) offers so much valuable and relatable information, 2) it is entertaining and 3) hot damn is it well designed!

Samuel Verhegge

First and probably only newsletter I read this week. Thanks!

Aivar Kaseste

Thank you! Well spent time reading this!

Yuquan Holloway

I really look forward to your newsletters. This one was exactly what I needed. I'm going to start the sticky note challenge next Monday.

Dan Blum

Long time reader and I simply just loved this newsletter. So many great references I can use on a day to day basis. Why? Because I consult with people every day on hiring a Virtual Assistant. This was so helpful. Out of curiosity, do you have a trusted A agency to refer people to? If not, would you care to learn more about our women owned social mission driven VA company? We'd take great care of your referrals.I know it's a long shot but this is one article was great.

Hkdolts Hkdolts

You are a magnate, and a great addition to the world of business with the amazing techniques you offer to the world.

Katerina Cronstedt

Great email, loved it.Recognize so many things around delegation, delegation is a super power, when you can afford it.Katerina

Peter Treacy

I appreciate this message and I've learned a lot from you many thanks for your generosity!

Andrew Key

10/10...this one really hit home because I am a strange mix of a semi tech savvy millennial that also has calloused hands and works in an antiquated industry....that's in pursuit of acquiring a business.. The 10 Lessons about networking etc are so good....Ctrl+P and going on the cork board LOL.

Vanessa Martinez

This is quite literally the best newsletter I subscribe to if they had another subscribe here button I'd hit it again, wow wish it was daily!

Jaime Case

Your emails are always good, but damn! This one was great. Thanks for sharing big ideas in such an accessible and authentic way.

Jason Huett

Hey Codie (or team) - I'm loving your content! Whoever does your eNewsletter is fanatics (coming from a CMO)!

greenyuv

Thank you so much for your superb content. Good luck with the growth of your fund.

Eric Mock

You are correct!! That's where real value exists, however, in the zero interest era and billions in funds for disrupters (which was largely BS), these opportunities are largely ignored :(.The real value is in DTC on a local/regional level with far less capital requirements and here's the best part: you can fund growth largely off cash flow. Get included in a consortium of similar brands,consolidate costs to lower them for all and you've got a creator economy that explodes off of individual efforts as part of a collective. Some do week, some flounder. You rise together.One problem. There needs to be a "glue" as a baseline to take all the "unknown VC stuff" out of the way and be the "on ramp".Creators and operators "do"...and are confused about anything else.

Jonathan Wilhelm

Awesome letter and sales pitch.

paigemitts

Amazing job on MFM! Finished it right before the newsletter arrived.May I say your cool legacy comment was spot on - I am one of those people who build & grow from the ideas you share.

Andrés Villarreal

This was an amazing read, as someone who loves coffee and who would want to start a business in the near future, this is eye opening and motivating. I really like your newsletter and I would love to buy a business some day. Right now I'm freshly graduated from a master's and just started working at a corp. Do you have any advice on how I could identify and buy my first business (I'm from México) without that much capital, and in the first stage of my professional career?

char...@reworkconcep...

Great newsletter...direct, concise, informative, and motivational! Yet another tool for the tool box!

Atila Ghassemi

Don't think I normally read these but this was great.

Ryan Williams

Love it, great story.

Rys Fairbrother

Not sure how I got here (signed up to receive your newsletter), but I'm glad I did. I really liked the pragmatic approach to building a $20mm business, and gives me motivation to take one step, one month, one market at a time to accomplish my goals.

LA angus

Great article, thanks. I happen to subscribe to Atlas coffee club and really enjoy getting the little "magic" moments. I think it is interesting to read about the story of my coffee. I post the cards on my fridge so my kids will ask me questions about Papua New Guinea and Tanzania. It would be remiss of me not mentioning the coffee is very good.

Chiang Chia-Ying

Reading your newsletter has been my most anticipated activity on a Friday! Love how you share different businesses, and I love the way you break down how owners make their biz successful.

Ok so I guess you never read this, but I have to write and say THANK YOU! THANK YOU CODIE for creating this newsletter, thank you for putting so much thought into it and providing so much value! I love reading it, although I am a desert greening scientist its been my role model for the way I communicate with my community.

I enjoyed reading this newsletter. Informative and actionable advice and insights. Thanks!

Outstanding. I pattern my chiropractic practice email newsletter blasts on your fantastic emails.

Shawn P. Murphy

CRUSHED IT! Awesome value. I feel like I stole knowledge from some of the best in the world at what they focus on doing. I love love love you Codie! You are changing the world, keep it up! Never ever ever ever give up! "Truth is independent of one's understanding or beliefs, it stands alone & beckons all to find her!" I have curated experts from all over the world that I steal knowledge from happily & well over a dozen income streams inside my Holdco waiting to scale. Time is of the essence, I feel an urgency I've never felt before. Time is King!

Rabih El-Khoury

This edition was gold, not for the content alone but because you care: you went the extra mile to get Jordan's green light share snippets of his program. Thank you for that.

Katie Skelton

I'm an email marketing strategist who very VERY rarely reads to the end of a newsletter but I read to the end of every single one of yours and usually forward to a few people too.

Mike Liguori

Codie fantastic newsletter and loved seeing you invest in your development with someone who has a fantastic track record.I've connected with you a couple times on Threads and love the depth of the newsletter. Reminds me of the sacred power of depth, not width when it comes to content.

montel lee

Definitely crushed the last email keep it up. Gave me a lot to think about.

Scott McFarlane

Love the news letters, you guys are crushing it, keep em coming!!

Vickie McMullen

I got a lot of value from this email. The biggest takeaway for me was making the goal/anti-goal list. I am currently a government employee growing a business on the side. I have to make sure my goal of growing a business takes precedence over growing my career. I don't want this career, so I should use my energy in areas I want to grow. The "someday, maybe list" is also useful to me. I come up with idea after idea. This takes me off track. If I don't stay focused on one thing at a time I won't ever have the finances to leave my current job. And I'll never have 120k to spend on my own coach.

Carson Parent

Great job, Codie! This was a seriously dope email (and that's coming from a career copywriter). Thank you for packing the value in!

danny miller

Nice job this week and every week. Looking forward to next week already.Thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic newsletter as always Codie! I hope to build my income and nest egg up to eventually be a part of the UA train for real!

I love these emails. I have been practicing some of these and i am expecting good results soon... but its all in small steps at a time.

Loved it. Overall, appreciate you aspirational writing style And the richness of content. Just didn't like the quote you used in number 5; do not sit well with many age GROUP and culture! Look forward to joining your courses.

Muhammad Imad

I am really grateful for having your thoughts in my email. I have been reading your newsletter for a while. And it is awesome.I do not know if you write it yourself or someone else, I am a technical content writer myself, Your Content and talking style, both are engaging and to the point. I read to get insights on different talking styles and Information-stuffing patterns, let me tell you, I forgot to notice my goal and started reading like I needed it.

Christopher Moore

Keep up the GREAT content. Your newsletter is one of the few that gets saved in my email and one of even fewer that gets read.

Justin Mortier

Thanks for the shared bullet points from your personal list. Great ideas for us to put into action. Angela Duckworth's book about Grit is fantastic- 80% grit sounds about right! I want to be remembered as a man who did good things... not remembered as a man who had good ideas.

Orobosa Idehen

Good day Codie, I just wanna say a very big thank you for all your financial advice and wisdom. You have no idea the lives you are helping.

Super awesome newsletter!! Everyone is so in love with pumpkins and mums where I live, with cozy daydreams of fall that your humor about "damn" pumpkins was funny and contrarian truly.Thanks Cody!!I'm going to be reviewing the business models for my idea. I'm excited!!

MG McCullough

Such a good email that made me chuckle

Dave Agnew

As a former process improvement meeting facilitator for 5 years at a large aerospace company - I've seen many hundreds of wasted hours in meetings. Effective meetings were awesome because the teams building airplanes were actually taking control of "their" build.But the wasted meetings were brutal. No one wanted to be there, and nothing got accomplished. Its always fun to show that calculator during a meeting because the numbers add up quick!

pete

I loved the breakdown of the Compas format for meetings. As an executive who facilitates meetings, I am always looking for better ways to keep them pointed and a productive use of everyone's time. Thos format is spot on! Thank you.

The title of this works. You have my attention. I'm going to read this today.

Talar Malakian

Where can I find a copywriter like the one writing this newsletter? If it's actually you Codie, holy freaking smokes.This newsletter on mediocrity and boredom was

Geet Aneja

I totes agree that boring is a super power these days.Everyone is busy engaging themselves in something that appears sexy on the outside or trying to be sexy themselves.For me personally as well, I have made my most money doing the boring stuff - writing copy for brands, running ads, creating social media content that doesn't care too much about the aesthetics but the value et al There is actually a super interesting Reddit thread that I came across years ago on how boring businesses mint money like anything.One of the most popular ones was selling door knobs - because they cost barely anything to source from China and sell like hot cakes in India at really steep prices to people who are building new housing complexes. And that idea still works because I am running it as a side project myself.Anyway, I am a regular reader of your newsletter, and I like your style of writing.

Oscar Rivera

Loved this newsletter! Always inspiring. Finding it hard to buy a boring business when the Landowners of a strip mall require that you be an experienced business owner to acquire any business in their mall.

paulbmob1

Found this newsletter really insightful.I am a pretty good commercial finance guy and have been headhunted into a number of exciting roles over the last few years! Now I wish I had been interested in boring.This made me think your thinking applies as much to choosing an employer as it does a business to buy.Being bright I have been drawn in by the challenge to grow businesses which other people are struggling to scale successfully. I have not been put off by any of these because I can see how simple they should be, beneath the sexiness etc.

Bryan Croft

Love it... and I own a 70 year old boring, growing rubber stamp company ... talk about boring! $18m in sales and 100+ employees... yep boring!

My name is Jose Trinidad,I don't know if you're going to open and read my message. But I'll take my chances! First of all I'm your #1 fan and I'm in love of you. I love your personality and your content. I want to start to follow your steps. But, I'm still tight up to my current job. I'm working on investing in real state and I have been investing in startups, stocks and crypto. However, I want to start investing on acquiring small businesses. But, don't know how exactly. But, I'll continue to follow your material online.Te mando un fuerte abrazo y te admiro mucho! (Soy Mexicano imigre a US alos 18 anos de edad y estoy viviendo el sueño americano.)

I just wanted to tell you I love your emails...and all the content you put on IG / Linkedin! I admire everything you accomplished so far. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

R Mitchell

I am actually going to share this email with my management. I am going to take the risk that they may see it in a negative way.I constantly get complaints about the lack of accountability at work from my co-workers,, or I hear statements such as 'This is above my pay grade'.I want to scream every time I hear someone say it. Why is everyone so helpless these days? Most people I work with are miserable, and think that they are not powerful enough to change anything.

Castenzio Venegas

1) I love your writing voice! It's engaging and I learn key leadership principles that transcend any sector. Thank you! 2) As you noted below, I'm requesting for your full template for company meetings. I would love to see how I can use an iteration of it as well (hate that I'm asking something but not giving anything in return! I'm open to adding any value at all though!).Either way, thank YOU! And, I'm working to acquire a small business soon!

LONE WOLF. Continual inspiration from this newsletter, by far one of my most valuable that I'm subscribed to.

jack...@mysteryguides.c...

I watched you on Diary of a CEO and you were totally awesome! I've seen nearly all of them, and you were my favourite so far. The best thing about it, is that it wasn't all 'me, me, me'.. you provided valuable, actionable advice to people wanting to start out. I'm actually already a business owner, but it provided me with some really great ideas, and a real sense that anything is possible!!! So I want to thank you for all of the positive energy, and the 'go for it!' attitude. You're awesome, and I am going to start watching your YouTube videos.. can't wait!! All the best, and keep smashing your goals

Michael Berghuis

Love this content, this style is what I want to do and what is on the edge of the realm of possibility for someone like me, which is exactly where content like yours thrives.

Subscribed to your newsletter today Codie.And this issue jacked me up so much I want to run throw a f***ing wall.I have a couple startups I'm building and my motto to my myself has always been to "leave a legacy".So, thank you. This hit me at exactly the right time.Not that I needed the extra mo, but damn.Now, back to building my f***ing empire.

Nick Paradise

Holy shit I'm glad I heard you on Andy's podcast. There's something very special and different about you. One day you and I are going to talk but first I have a few things to work on, namely my book launch that is just the beginning of the new life I'm living thanks to Andy and 75Hard.
