The narrator, Codie Sanchez, built a nine-figure holding company by acquiring Main Street businesses like laundromats and car washes. She shares how ordinary individuals can buy and scale these overlooked but profitable businesses.
Most millionaires own a business, but business ownership rates have declined from 80% to 6% as private equity firms acquire more small businesses. The narrator argues private equity's incentives often harm communities when they overload businesses with debt.
The narrator bought her first laundromat to learn how to run a business. She manually counted quarters to verify the owner's financials. This coin count method helps determine an accurate purchase price.
The narrator introduces the RICH framework for buying businesses: Research your skills and interests to find the right business for you; Invest time and money to get dealmaking experience; Command the business by installing systems instead of doing day-to-day work; Harness operators and incentives to scale.
The narrator argues every business is buyable and sellable with the right buyer and terms. Seller financing helps buyers with limited funds. Creative deal structures and patient capital can fund deals. Surround yourself with others who have already done what you want to accomplish.

The narrator shares 5 money rules that allowed her to make $100 million by age 30. These rules separate rich thinking from broke thinking.
The first rule is that there is an infinite amount of money available. Money flows to those who provide value, so becoming wealthier means contributing more.
The second rule is to remove fears around spending money. Make a list of desired purchases, reactions to those purchases, and how to reframe those reactions positively.
The third rule is to continually learn about money by reading financial books and researching unknown financial terms.
The fourth rule is to invest money rather than simply save it. Focus on increasing income rather than only decreasing expenses.
The fifth rule is to determine specific financial targets like net worth, housing budget, and monthly income goals. Compare those to current numbers to determine how to bridge the gap.

Erica Kupin started a dog waste removal business called Kupin's Poopin Scoopin' in 2018 after realizing the ongoing joke about her last name matched a potential business idea. She began by getting supplies, creating social media pages, introducing herself to local pet businesses, and telling everyone she knew. Her first customer paid $20 for a 1.5 hour clean. Over 6 years she has grown it to making over $250,000 in one year.
The initial equipment costs under $500 - a bucket, rake, trash bags, and bleach. A car is needed for transport. She put a hitch on her car to pull a cargo trailer. The most effective marketing has been word of mouth, great customer experiences, and networking with pet businesses to recommend her. She charges a monthly subscription versus per clean. One clean per week is standard. Her average ticket price is $20 per clean.
As a solo business owner she was highly profitable with no overhead expenses. She has since hired employees to scale the business. This required increasing rates to support payroll and leadership skills to manage and train staff. The founder of a large Michigan landscaping company advised her - "Pick a color, pick a purpose and focus on your people."
To get started first make sure you are ready for the demands of owning a business. File legal formation paperwork DBA or LLC. Do online research to pick your location and name. Get insurance, basic supplies and business cards. Start telling everyone about your new business. Be prepared to work hard and not procrastinate.
