About this listen
Do you have a burning passion to make a lot of money in business? Are you ready to turbocharge your chances of professional and personal success?
During his more than four decades as a CEO and serial entrepreneur, Brad Jacobs has created seven flagship companies across different industries, delivering tens of billions of dollars of value to shareholders. In How to Make a Few Billion Dollars, Jacobs defines the mindset that drives his remarkable success in corporate America—and distills a lifetime of business brilliance into a tactical road map.
From provocative recommendations for “rearranging your brain”—an essential prerequisite to accomplishing enormous goals—to practical advice for dealing with colleagues, Jacobs will have you rethinking what it means to win big. He explains why it’s critical to spot key trends and capitalize on them, including the biggest trend of all—the rapid evolution of technology relative to human development.
And, he shares his techniques for:
• Turning a healthy fear of failure to your advantage.
• Achieving lots of high-quality M&A without imploding.
• Building an outrageously talented team.
• Catalyzing electric meetings.
• Transforming a company into a superorganism that kills the competition.
How to Make a Few Billion Dollars is an inside look at how this entrepreneurial titan leads with humility, compassion, and accountability, while running hard toward the American Dream. If your personal dream is to create wealth through free markets or to triumph in sports, the arts, politics, philanthropy, or any other part of your life, this book will help you make that a reality.

Story
Mindfulness is not about complicated and otherworldly woo-woo spiritual practices. It doesn't require you to be a part of any religion or a movement. What mindfulness is about is living a good life (that's quite practical, right?), and this book is all about deepening your awareness, getting to know yourself, and developing attitudes and mental habits that will make you not only a successful and effective person in life, but a happy and wise one as well.

Excellent and Insightful
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the background of Brad Jacob’s’ ventures, along with the deep thought processes Brad utilizes. It’s interesting and meaningful to experience each venture and what went into each. I especially enjoyed learning new ways to approach mindfulness and going ‘all in’ when setting and achieving goals. Excited for future published works from Brad!

Billion Dollar Business playbook
It’s an unfair advantage building a business and having resources like this. From m&a, to people, to meetings. Brad shares it all. And it’s pure gold.

Compelling, Vision-Expanding Masterclass on High-Quality M&A
I found How to Make a Few Billion Dollars exceptionally enlightening. The author’s insights are authentic, precise, and delivered in an affirmative, high-level manner. The chapter outline is concise and clear, with short, impactful chapters that make the book easy to digest. The storytelling is exceptionally compelling and visual—I found myself re-listening to expand my own vision and storytelling ability. It’s very well put together, with the added bonus of being read by the author himself. This is a high-quality work that I’ll continue to reference, and I’ve already shared it with my colleagues and team. It’s truly expanded my vision on what it takes to acquire $100 million.

Practical guide on running businesses
I enjoyed this audiobook. It provides practical tips on running different parts of a business and is written in a very accessible way.
I found his take on the post integration process in M&A most insightful, although a bit short. He is the authority on M&A integration having been massively successful with multiple roll ups (even though most roll ups fail because they are so hard to integrate in practice).
The production was decent too. The author could easily have another career as a voice actor.
Finally, just be aware that this is a "how to" book not a biography. The author does sprinkle personal and professional anecdotes which are relevant to his advice but don't expect a biography.

Meh
Brad Jacobs is an amazing founder and the title is what drew me in as a startup founder and CEO.
Unfortunately the book is dry and lacks anything groundbreaking or novel.
Good advice and learnings, just not unique, unless you care to hear his belief that gives humans a 50/50 shot of surviving this century vs merging w robots to create a new species.

Some great content in here, could use more refinement.
Overall I’m glad I listened to this book. But it’s not a “must read” and it definitely seems like it was a bit thrown together instead of carefully written and polished. If you need a decent book to read, it’s worth giving this a once-through.
