Billionaire Entrepreneur Bobby Mesmer Reveals The One Thing You're Not Doing That's Killing Your Business Success
What if the only thing standing between you and business greatness is the one thing you're too afraid to do?
He lost $3.5 million. Got hit by a tornado. Suffered a heart attack, two strokes, and a rare autoimmune disorder. And while most people would’ve folded, Bobby Mesmer built a billion-dollar empire instead.
This isn’t a rags-to-riches fairytale—it’s a raw, unfiltered battle cry for entrepreneurs who want to win. Bobby’s story is a bold reminder that the road to real success isn’t paved with ease. It’s carved out through pain, perseverance, and one non-negotiable trait: a willingness to take real risks.
The Collapse That Built an Empire
Bobby didn’t stumble into wealth. He was betrayed, blindsided, and nearly bankrupt. In 2015, a massive business loss—a $3.5 million betrayal by a key client—almost wiped him out.
“Too many eggs in one basket,” Bobby said. “80% of my business came from one relationship. When he decided not to pay, I was screwed.”
But instead of licking his wounds, Bobby restructured, rebuilt, and emerged stronger. His company, RMG Erectors and Constructors, is now the largest pre-engineered metal building erector in the world, erecting over 5 million square feet per year.
He didn't just recover. He dominated.
When the Storm Hits—Literally
Just as the dust settled, life threw another punch. A tornado tore through his New Jersey home. Then came a heart attack. Then a stroke. Then Felty Syndrome—a rare autoimmune disease that attacks bone marrow. Finally, another stroke that left him half-blind in one eye.
Let that sink in.
But Bobby? He kept going.
“I'm still doing it,” he said. “Getting up every day, running my companies, building my legacy. I'm not using any of it as a crutch.”
This isn’t motivational fluff. This is a man who stared death in the face and came back more focused than ever.
Why Most Entrepreneurs Are Playing Too Small
There’s a moment in the episode where Bobby drops the hammer:
“If you're not almost bankrupting every three years, you're not doing something right.”
He’s not talking about reckless spending. He’s talking about taking smart, bold, calculated risks—the kind that stretch you, scare you, and grow your business 10X.
Comfort kills. Playing it safe kills. And in Bobby’s world, the only real failure is staying stuck in the middle.
Facing Fear And Using It
Bobby admits something few entrepreneurs are brave enough to say: he was scared.
“I thought I was a machine. But that stroke put me down. I couldn’t move the left side of my body. I didn’t know if I’d walk again.”
That fear, though? It became fuel.
“It’s okay to be scared. It’s about how you face it—and how you come out the other side.”
He reevaluated everything. His life. His legacy. And what he was willing to do with the time he had left.
Ruthless Clarity in Business
Facing death didn’t soften Bobby. It sharpened him.
He became more direct. More focused. More committed to his boundaries.
“This is what I’m offering. Take it or leave it. This is how we do it.”
And clients respected it. That confidence—born from surviving hell—became one of his greatest assets in business.
Leadership Isn't About You
Despite the empire he’s built, Bobby doesn’t see himself as a boss. He sees himself as part of the village.
“It’s not me—it’s us. I work for the company like everyone else.”
His leadership philosophy is simple but powerful: treat people like family. Make decisions together. Lead with humility, not ego.
And despite massive growth, that culture hasn’t changed.
The Lies of Social Media Success
If there’s one thing Bobby can’t stand, it’s fake entrepreneurs.
“You see these people flashing cars, jets, watches—it’s all bullshit,” he said.
And he would know. His company owns a private jet. But when “influencers” call asking to rent it for fake photos?
“You're an idiot. You're creating a bad perspective for everyone.”
For Bobby, real success isn’t about looking rich. It’s about being rich in impact, values, and legacy.
Reflection, Ownership, and Power
One of the most powerful moments in the episode is when Bobby talks about accountability.
“I had a role in that $3.5 million loss. It wasn’t just the guy who screwed me. I made decisions too.”
That kind of radical ownership is rare—and it's exactly what unlocks the next level of growth. No more blaming. No more excuses. Just full responsibility and course correction.
The Discipline of Wealth
You might assume a billionaire like Bobby lives in excess.
Nope.
He lives well below his means. He budgets. He avoids flashy purchases. And he teaches his kids to save 20% of their paychecks off the top.
“I live in my kitchen, my living room, and my bedroom. I don’t need 10,000 extra square feet.”
Success, in Bobby’s world, isn’t about what you can buy. It’s about what you build—and how you build it.
The Hardest Lesson: Receiving Help
Bobby’s most personal admission? He hated receiving help.
“I realized I was denying other people their blessing by not letting them help me.”
It took a spiritual epiphany to understand that receiving isn’t weakness—it’s grace. And it takes true strength to simply say: thank you.
The Definition of “Enough”
So what does “enough” look like for someone who’s built an empire?
Bobby’s answer is clear: it’s not about money.
“I want to be the Carnegie of modern steel. I want to build a legacy that lives beyond me.”
The money is a byproduct. The mission is the fuel. And the journey is the reward.
Final Words: You Are Good Enough
As the episode wraps, Bobby leaves listeners with a call to arms:
“Stop letting people hold you back. You can do it. You are enough. Don't wait. Don’t wonder. Go.”
And if you ever needed proof that resilience, clarity, and bold action pay off—just look at Bobby Mesmer.
From betrayal to billion-dollar builder. From paralyzed to powerful. From broken to unbreakable.
