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.

Even giants like Elon Musk and Warren Buffett faced the same daunting question at some point: "Is it worth the risk?" The old business model would have you jump through hoops of fire, risk losing money and time, often only to hit a dead end. But those days are gone. Today, the smartest business owners on the planet know that financial growth doesn't have to be a roll of the dice. Are you ready to step into this new paradigm?

Wow
If I could give this book 6 stars, I would. Codie’s values and authenticity inspired me to buy this book to support her—but wow, I didn’t expect to love it this much. It’s so good I’ve been raving about it to my family and friends (and, honestly, they’re probably tired of hearing me talk about it). I’m already on my second listen, and I’m still picking up gems of wisdom.
Codie doesn’t just share knowledge; she delivers priceless, real-world experience with incredible generosity. This book is packed with practical advice, inspiration, and a refreshing perspective. Thank you, Codie, for being such a positive force in the world—and for writing something so binge-worthy. Highly recommend!

Cody has inspired me to buy a business as opposed to being scared on the sidelines. Realizing there isn't anyone out there to bail me out is the first step to taking action. Thank you Cody, I'll be listening to this book again and again as needed.
