There is one truth I say over and over again… It’s easy to start a business. It’s WAY harder to make a profitable one. That’s why I think buying a business with existing cashflow is the best choice.

I’m 55 and earn around $450k annually, only save about 2% in HSAs. I've been reading a lot of articles mentioning how worthless 'cash savings' are in this current economy. Thus, my question: what is the best business to purchase to grow my cash as of now?
As with most money-related questions, the answer is relative. I'd suggest you consider professional financial help to be on the safer side. RUclips knowledge is usually random and incomplete.
Agreed, opting for financial advice is the best way to go about when dealing with financial issues. My advisor put my $735k in Private Equity and I average five figures/month in returns. My overall ROI just hit $2.77M and is still counting up.

Coming from someone with a clinical doctorate - you’re good. Damn good. And I cannot believe your subscriptions aren’t north of 4mil right now (I mean that as a compliment). THIS should be the content that people watch to help get ahead whether they’re starting out or mid-end career. Too many people are trying to break out of the rat race and don’t know where to start, or even how to start. Hope you get to come to the east coast (VA Beach area cough cough) to give a conference/presentation.
I’m still paying off my lost bit of student loans at 27 yrs old. I’m working a low 6 figure job but still hate it. I can’t wait until I have the money saved to buy a business. I’ve been watching Codie since the start of this channel. The knowledge she has is so impressive I hope I can help people the way she does once I make it!
Hey Codie, any chance you could do a video covering what it’s like after you’ve purchased your first business? I.e. Day to day running, things to avoid, what you need to prepare, how you can mange running multiple businesses at once, etc
You have buying a business, but then also think about what business you're buying. What sector, service, or products you're getting into. That can also have an effect as to how successful you can be with your business, along with competition, market saturation, and regulations.
This is me! My Wife and I own 5-Rental Houses now! She works and I do the Rentals! She builds up her 401K and I clear the Rentals! We are trying to diversify our Retirement Portfolio!
I've already watched this twice in a row. It's 1:39 am. Thank you, Codie! I knew about businesses buying business because they have money. But I didn't know about seller financing. For many years, I've always told my friends and family that I wanted to own businesses and have someone managing while I'm away. Now I have hope. I also didn't think about working a 9-5 while owning a business. I want to do it to pay off faster!
I knew a pizza guy that wanted to retire for a long time, but didn't trust his business to go to anyone (and his kids chose other professions). He finally found someone to take over and for the most part it's the same quality and taste. My father way back in the 80's was the guy that trusted this pizza shop owner to give him a great loan to start the business that was paid off early. My brother and I were one of the first customer for their $1.25 lunch special (two large slices and a can of soda). Every weekend my brother and I would hunt down bottles to recycle for 10 cents a pop to get lunch. There was a convenience store in the same plaza that would accept used bottles.
So many businesses ignore simple things like having a way to capture leads and bookings outside of standard business hours. Love that you touched on that in this video!
I got a ton of value from this, and yes i treat it as mainstream advice... however it illustrates beatifully the potential for anyone wanting to learn. If you're serious about it, go learn it... if you want to learn the concept without the homework... watch this video! I'm not sure what it's called or if there's a term for it, but right towards the end... there is writing on the footpath leading to the front door...such a cost effective idea that just throws positive affirmations at you in such a way, you enjoy it 17:05 If you are conemplating any type of buying a business,...get an exit strategy so that you have a way out also, so many people do this from a weak position and not when they have the ability to make a strong one.
@@olmanj It's the little things that make a good business great. The extra mile a business will go to make you feel special. The more cost-effective, the better, especially when it's something as simple as some affirmations painted on the path.
I can see the Codie Book of Quotes..."Half the game of business is just not taking no for an answer and thinking of creative solutions when the inevitable disaster comes next; it is like business is just a carefully concealed series of disasters moving down the highway." Codie Sanchez "Most successful people I have met would say that they are not that smart and they are not experts; they just work a little bit harder than everybody else for a little longer than everybody else and the truth of the matter is, is that it is in the work we trust, that is what makes a main street millionaire." Codie Sanchez
This is awesome. Congrats on your success. I've been following Codie for 2 years by accidentally clicking on a RUclips video. It reminds me of "the secret". I literally fall asleep listening to her videos because they have positive affirmations. You can do it!!!! I WILL, TOO...
You are doing God’s work! Thank you Codie! I hope people understand how much of applicable value this case-study of a video has for people looking to get into entrepreneurship.
For a long time, the idea of achieving long-term financial security felt out of reach, especially since I started contributing much later than most. I realized that relying on ETFs and bonds alone wouldn’t be enough for me. But after doing some research, I found a strategy that made a real difference, and it helped me retire with $3 million. Just sharing my experience, I know everyone’s journey is different
It’s worth noting that luck often plays the significant role in investing, sometimes even more than the resources involved. Without it, its challenging
In my experience, luck plays a part, especially in the short term. But I’ve noticed that when results remain consistent, it usually indicates something more than just luck. For me, research was the challenge until It led to Emily Ava Milligan, a fund manager. I thought her strategy made sense, it contributed to growing 400k into this and counting
I stumbled upon your videos and now I am hooked. I am looking for my next steps in life and I think I may have found it. Thank You. I hope I can DM you one day for advise.
Love this! Starting a business sounds like fun, but after 2-3yrs of start-up phase, you start to feel fatigue because of all of your time and energy to get it up and running. After starting 3 different businesses, I most likely never ever start from scratch again, acquisition is the smart way to go about it and if you think about it, it's more likely going to succeed. Thanks Codie!! Great job Olman and wifey!!!
Hi Codie, Your videos are so simple and I believe effective, that sometimes my brain says no -- There has to be a harder way or I can't do it or it won't work here in my home country Like what Buffett said, my investment principles are so simple many aren't willing to do it I'm currently working on myself and I need to change my mindset ❤❤
I find it better to work 9-5 and put money into stocks. It does require more capital than owning a business but it is much more easier than operating a business.
I’m 52 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify my portfolio.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Evelyn Infurna.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn't know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker to many families in the Canada, she is a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in the Canada.
I'd like to get help Codie with my small startup. Bootstrapped 100% in the medical space & high margins. Just need more clients to level up ! Just doing business in Texas at the moment :-)
Love this story Cody. I would love to learn from you how to buy a business. My passion and skills are in the food industry. I’m from Canada!!thanks- Jeff
Is this only possible in the US? I know that if both sides agree on something and wrtie and sign a contract, then that contract becomes a law, regulating their relationship. You can even go to court and demand the other party to obey the contract and the judge will approve it. But in other countries such "seller financing" may not be possible due to the law regulating seller-buyer relationship over any contracts, i.e. no matter what is written in the contract, if the contract is not in line with the procedures written in the laws and rules then that part of the contract is considered insignificant and unnecessary to do. So how do you document the "seller financing"?
Why not buy a business in a foreign country that welcomes foreign investment with much lower start up and operating costs? For example, in the Philippines tourist areas you could take over a bar for $45-75K USD and then hire low wage workers and kick back on the beach?
Fantastic video Codie! Im in VA and need that same help. I wish I had someone like you in this area. You're awesome! Also, thanks for the spreadsheets, these will def come in handy.
