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 6 million followers in 3 years–and we’re just getting started.

Our weekly newsletter is read by over 800,000 subscribers, which you can read [here.](https://contrarianthinking.co/category/free-newsletter/contrarian-thinking/)

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 courses and 1,200+ person global community.

We also have our own investment fund, Contrarian Thinking Capital, that invests in the businesses and tech that supports SMB growth and our own portfolio company, Main Street Hold co.

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

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS
The “Silver Tsunami” is in full effect, with Baby Boomers retiring and their businesses needing a succession plan.

Their businesses have been run for decades, many at a healthy profit, but alas, they have been overlooked by institutional investors.

And since many Millennials 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 our Contrarian Creed, which is our operating philosophy for our business.

THE CONTRARIAN CREED
These are the words we stand by, live by and define what it means to be a Contrarian.

1. People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
2. Be a great f*cking human. Do what’s right even when it hurts.
3. How you do anything, is how you do everything.
4. We do the dirty work.
5. Your word is your contract.
6. We are Archimedes, find your lever.
7. Winners want pressure.
8. We want your weird. Better weird than boring.
9. Your job isn’t done until THE job is done. We work the problem.
10. Assumptions are for assholes. Find the truth.
11. Less words, more meaning.
12. Even our notes are worth stealing. Make every creation a mini-masterpiece.
13. Show me your results, not your intentions.
