Entrepreneur and investor Codie Sanchez said she sometimes worries global leaders could make decisions that would render the work of entrepreneurs meaningless.

oD“You know what keeps me up at night as a CEO? That some government or world leader will do something stupid enough to make all our work not matter,” Sanchez said in a post on X. “Then you remember you can’t change that, so you just go back to building.”

Sanchez has built a large following by encouraging people to pursue financial freedom through small business acquisitions and contrarian investing.

Her work often emphasizes focusing on what is within one’s control and building resilient systems that can withstand economic or political shifts.

Codie Sanchez is the founder of Contrarian Thinking, an educational platform that teaches individuals how to achieve financial independence by buying cash-flowing small businesses. She is a former journalist and private equity investor.
