The full quote: "If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.

Somebody else made that happen."
THAT was obviously in reference to the "roads and bridges" in the immediately preceding sentence. Notice the word BUILD. Businesses are created and maintained. Roads and bridges are built. A little reading comprehension can go a long way.
