What is Contrarian Thinking and what do we do?

We free minds and build bank accounts. We’re on a mission to help 1 million people become financially free and to create 100,000 small business owners.

We’re a digital education and media startup that has amassed 4.5+ million followers in less than 3 years–and we’re just getting started.

Our weekly newsletter is read by over 500,000 subscribers, which you can read here.

We also produce some of the best content in the finance niche on our YouTube channel (and Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and TikTok).

99% of our content is 100% free.

The other 1% is how we help people become expert deal makers so they can acquire a “boring business” that cashflows.

We do this through our self-directed video course, or for people who also want our expert guidance and accountability, we offer our premier mastermind, Unconventional Acquisitions, which has 800+ members and growing.

Through those two programs, our members have acquired over $115,000,000 in deals.

We also have our own investment fund, Contrarian Thinking Capital, that invests in the businesses and tech that supports SMB growth.

So, yeah, you could say we put our money where our mouths are. :)

Why our work matters

With 10,000 Baby Boomers retiring daily, and 19% of them owning a small business…

That’s nearly 2,000 businesses a DAY that need a succession plan.

And since many Millenials are focused on becoming YouTube stars and not wanting to own their parent’s landscaping company (even if it’s making millions)…these Boomers
are forced to either close or sell their business.

Therein lies our opportunity.

We call them “Boring Businesses.” They are your local laundromats, car washes, pool cleaning routes, handyman services, etc.–the unsexy blue-collar businesses that no one thinks about but everyone needs. And boy are they profitable.

But it’s not all about the benjamins.

We believe our communities are a better place when our actual neighbor owns the
Neighborhood Store and not a conglomerate.

We believe in Main Street over Wall Street.

We believe in thinking critically and cash flowing unconventionally.

We believe in doing it our way.
