Solo Hustle to $450K/Month With Remote Leverage | Abbas Mohammed
If you’re exhausted from doing everything yourself, this conversation is your permission slip to stop. 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 Bio
Abbas 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.
