About This Book
Brad Jacobs has built eight companies from scratch and delivered tens of billions in shareholder value—and he's written down exactly how.
Over four decades as a serial CEO, Jacobs developed a repeatable playbook for winning at scale. How to Make a Few Billion Dollars moves from the inside out—starting with what Jacobs calls "rearranging your brain" as a prerequisite for outsized ambition, then working outward into M&A strategy, talent acquisition, meeting culture and competitive dominance. The book treats a company at its best as a superorganism: aligned, fast-moving and ruthless in execution, yet led with humility and accountability.
For founders, executives and ambitious operators who want more than inspiration, this is a tactical road map from someone who has actually done it—repeatedly, across industries and economic cycles.
