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.

From early on, we are taught that there's only one path to getting ahead: do well at school, get a certain kind of job, and avoid failure at all costs. We're so busy trying to follow these rules that we never stop and ask ourselves: What's my purpose? Is my 9-5 really what I want to do? What kind of job or business do I really want to pursue? Do I have the power to make it happen? With Simon Squibb’s incisive new book, you can make it happen.

You got into real estate because you wanted flexibility, freedom, and a big upside. Instead, you’re working 24/7, freedom is the last thing you feel, and every dollar is a struggle. The kicker: you rarely (if ever) charge your full fee. Most days, you feel like a pushy salesperson who has to give discounts to get business. Not anymore. Stop giving away your value. Join the growing ranks of full-fee agents who are charging their worth and reclaiming their lives. The Full Fee Agent is a proven blueprint for getting more business and, more importantly, doing business in a better way.

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!
