HOOK: Stop trying to make money in flashy ways. Buy the boring business and actually get rich.

REVIEW: Through this book and social media, I've become a big fan of Codie Sanchez. She feels authentic. Her promise to make more business owners than business consultants rings true, and this book shared her voice in an enjoyable way. I took notes!

RATING: 5!

Main Street Millionaire is a great book. I picked it up after following Codie Sanchez on Instagram, and I'm glad I didl. The book is packed with practical, no-nonsense advice that feels like Codie is your smart friend telling you exactly how to stop being stuck and start building wealth. What really stood out to me was her RICH framework. It’s simple but brilliant, and it completely changed the way I think about "boring" businesses like laundromats and car washes. I never realised how much money you could make from something so ordinary if you just know how to buy and run it.

What I really appreciated was Codie’s straightforward approach—she doesn’t tell you to just "follow your passion." Instead, she focuses on the numbers, helping you figure out what works and how to make smart decisions. This book is full of useful tips and examples, and it’s easy to understand. I finished it with a ton of ideas and action steps, and I’m already searching for my next business opportunity. If you're serious about creating wealth and changing your life, Main Street Millionaire is a must-read.

Starts off really well. Codie's given her all to this book and it shows! It's a detailed manual on how to select & buy businesses & why buy instead of building from scratch in the first place. For a person who's never been an entrepreneur nor knows any of such entrepreneurs it was difficult to relate & oftentimes seemed dense. Also being from a geography that has a very different approach to financing & money in general. It was almost like financial fiction to me. None of it is Codie's or her book's fault. This might be an excellent book for people based out of the USA.

This invaluable guide is for anyone considering becoming an entrepreneur by buying an existing, established, and profitable business rather than going the start-up route.
The section of operators is pure gold!

Codie Sanchez and her brand with contrarian thinking is always insightful. This is just as amazing as her YouTube content. This will give you practical, steps to help you on your journey to being a millionaire.

This book shares a unique entrepreneur concept of acquiring businesses with a traditional business model and not a unicorn structure, the businesses that we use often and that were established for years and not always inherited from foubders, so called main street businesses. The ideas from the book provide a comprehensive framework of selecting, shaping and scaling such a business. There are many good learnings, supportive tools and practical recommendations. The positive spirit of the book motivates and inspires to take an action.
