Abbas Mohammed shows how hiring smarter—not grinding harder—turns chaos into a calm, repeatable system. In this episode, you’ll hear the milestones, the mistakes, and the playbook any immigrant professional can use to buy back time and scale with confidence.👤 Guest BioAbbas Mohammed is the founder of Remote Leverage, a recruiting firm that helps U.S. businesses hire experienced Latin American remote team members. He started as a teen real estate agent in San Jose, scaled by building a 25-VA engine, and became a Top 50 RE/MAX performer. Realizing his edge was team-building and systems, he launched Remote Leverage and grew from $50k to $450k/month in about 7–8 months by hiring higher-level talent, building SOPs, and installing manager-led teams. His mission: make global talent accessible so founders can free their calendars and grow faster.🔑 Key Insights💡 Buy back time first and revenue follows. 💡 Hire for experience so you coach less and scale faster. 💡 Replace “How do I?” with “Who can do this?” 💡 Set clear KPIs so remote teams know exactly how to win. 💡 Track work transparently to raise productivity and trust. 💡 Hire fast and fire fast to protect momentum. 💡 Promote managers and manage the managers, not 50 people. 💡 Start with lowest-value tasks and climb the ladder. 💡 A single right hire can 10× revenue and execution. 💡 Clarify roles and pay on time to keep churn low. ⏱️ Timestamps01:35 — Why Remote Leverage Exists06:13 — Manage 55 Staff Without Burning Out09:05 — Don’t Learn It, Recruit It11:37 — What Abbas Works On Now12:27 — Staffing vs. Recruiting Explained17:37 — VA Starter Playbook19:55 — Retention Playbook That Works22:04 — Build Smart Multi-Hat Teams24:22 — First VA Prep Checklist26:19 — 3 Moves to Start Today28:22 — Book a Call + Next Steps🤝 Connect With Our GuestAbbas MohammedFounder – Remote LeverageWebsite: https://remoteleverage.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556467767577Instagram: https://instagram.com/remoteleveragevaLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/104075680/admin/dashboard👋 Connect With MeGiang NguyenMultifamily InvestorCommercial Mortgage BrokerFounder – One River CapitalWebsite: https://onerivercapital.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/thatsalsainvestorInstagram: https://instagram.com/thatsalsainvestorLinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/thatsalsainvestorFREE Discovery Call: https://links.onerivercapital.com/lets-connectFREE Guide: https://links.onerivercapital.com/multifamily-syndication-guide⭐ Enjoyed the episode?
