Most Founders Build a Job, Not a Business — Here's How to Build One Worth $50M
from The Authority Business Show · host Stacey Chillemi
Bob Schober was living in a van. Not as a lifestyle choice — as a reality. From that starting point he built a roofing company that private equity acquired for over $50 million. But here's what most people miss when they hear that story — the exit didn't happen by accident, and it didn't happen because he worked harder than everyone else. It happened because at some point he stopped building a job and started building an asset. Most founders never make that shift. They stay indispensable, stay in the weeds, stay impossible to replace — and they create something that has enormous value to them and almost none to a buyer. Bob knows exactly where that line is, how to cross it, and what it costs you every day you stay on the wrong side of it. And what he did with the money after the exit will make you rethink what building wealth is actually for. You'll learn: 🚀 Why most businesses never scale past $1M 🎯 The replication system behind a $50M exit 💰 What private equity actually pays for 📈 How to make a business buyer-ready 🧭 The post-exit trap nobody warns you about 🤝 Turning a windfall into real impact Learn how to build a business that pays you twice — running it, then selling it.
