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

funny informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

Codie Sanchez shares a different pathway to entrepreneurship and financial freedom that many of us don't think about: buying small mom-and-pop businesses rather than building a business from the ground up.

I read the book description and was intrigued. I love how systematically the book is set up, walking you through her shared experience, knowledge, and process. Sanchez shares her personality in the writing, which I love. It makes the book less "textbook" and more relatable. She gives actionable advice on where to find businesses to buy, how to buy (with or without money down), and advice on figuring out what types of businesses would be best for you. The second half of the book is higher-level advice (when you're acquiring several businesses or picking a higher-level business to buy) but the advice is still important for someone just starting out.

I really enjoyed it and it got me rethinking avenues to entrepreneurship rather than building something from the ground up.

This book perfect for anyone who's looking for creative ways to build wealth, financial freedom, or a different look at entrepreneurship.
