About this listen
Rich people know a secret. In this book, former Wall Street investor Codie Sanchez pulls back the curtain.
Most people look for wealth in all the wrong places. From dropshipping and startups to grinding for promotions, you might believe you have to trade your life to be one of the few who win. But the truly rich know these paths are paved with delusion and false promises.
In Main Street Millionaire, Codie Sanchez teaches you the path the wealthy really walk. Instead of risking it all with little chance of success, she shows you how to acquire cash-flowing businesses that are winning right now.
Sanchez, one of the world’s leading small business experts, reveals the dealmaking framework she’s taught to tens of thousands, and that she’s used to build her own 9-figure holding company. Her secret? She acquires overlooked “Main Street” businesses. We’re talking about the unsexy but reliably profitable industries—like plumbing, construction, cleaning, electrical—that white collar workers have overlooked.
In this book, you’ll see practical strategies and step by step processes to acquire cash flow and freedom. You’ll meet humans just like you who have changed their life through ownership.
You will learn:
- Why today’s market is ripe for generational wealth creation
- How to identify and close amazing business deals, without being wealthy
- How to 10x your growth after acquiring a small business
- The 7 businesses you should never buy, and why
- How to own multiple businesses at once (without losing your mind)
Main Street Millionaire will reshape the way you think about your wealth and ownership forever. However, it’s not for slackers. It’s for those who want meaning and fulfillment while building their community. Codie's no-BS, out-of-the-box wisdom is the antidote to a complacent life of making other people rich. In summary: Your money, and meaning, is on Main Street.
* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with supplementary diagrams and illustrations.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

You make your money when you buy! That's right, the biggest opportunity to make profits buying businesses or traffic assets is to buy them with the least possible amount of your own personal cash out of pocket. A lot of people think that the most successful deals happen when you sell, but if you can acquire businesses or traffic assets with $0 out of your own pocket, your returns can be almost infinite.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Many smart entrepreneurs prefer to buy an existing business instead of beginning a new one. Buying a business that is already operational will bring many benefits, including an already established product or service, well-trained staff who know the business, and enough success to have kept the company afloat for a period of time. Not having any money to purchase the business will not necessarily keep you from buying it.

Excellent!!! Best business book I have read since Rich Dad Poor Dad!
I'm so glad I got the audible version because I am certain the physical book will fall apart from how many times I will read and re-read this book! even though the concepts are easy to understand and a delight to read (or listen to) there is SO MUCH USEFUL INFORMATION! Great Job!!!

Ready to make a move? Here's the book.
This is the time for this book. Something is going on leaving the children not wanting to take over from their parents, Not the subject, however, it leaves people with a huge opportunity towards ownership. This is a great book, with well-told high energy stories and easy to understand.

Right book at the right time
As stated in the quote “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”, well, that was this book for me. I have pursued various business opportunities outside of my regular employment/career as I have always felt I am capable of much more. To keep this short, the last venture I was pursuing, after quite a few months, I realized I was giving myself another job. Having been a financial consultant many years ago, I understand the power of leveraging through various income sources or overrides (getting paid for other people's work whom I hired). Anyhow, unsure of my next attempt at a venture, I searched buying a laundromat, as I entertained that previously. I read a blog where one person recommended looking up Codie Sanchez. This recommendation led to a video of Codie helping a couple purchase a med spa. I viewed her other videos, then bought this book, attended the live training online, and signed up for the Seller Financing Navigator. I have listened to the audiobook at least three times, replaying sections as I genuinely want to understand. I highly recommend this book. With the quote I opened with, I am ready to learn, and this book set the framework.

Loved every minute!!
MSM is up there with RDPD. This is an excellent book and a must read for anyone looking to get out of Corporate America and build their own empire by acquiring small businesses. Furthermore, 1. There’s no fluff. You will want to keep reading or listening. 2. Codie’s personality shines as expected, which made the material pleasant and not intimidating for the novice individuals. 3. There are great stories and examples in the book so you can understand the processes and applications she talks about. 4. Tools are provided so you can take action right away. 5. She made the concepts easy for anyone to understand and you will not feel intimidated by reading this book, like other business buying books I’ve read. Good job Codie!! Get it gurl!
