7FF 784: When to Hire Your First Employee (And Who to Hire First)

May 6, 2025

About This Episode

Michael Hasso tried scaling from 1 house to 9 flips by himself…

And he almost crashed and burned.

Now, a member of 7 Figure Altitude, Michael is planning to raise over $3 MILLION in capital this year!

In the past year, he implemented a strategic hiring plan that is now enabling him to sustainably grow his business.

(That means more time back to do things like a trip to Cancun for our Tropical Mastermind!) 

My friend Sheri is hosting this episode and walks through the entire hiring process he used.

Inside 7 Figure Runway, we help investors build the sustainable systems and teams needed to scale without the chaos. 

Recently we launched the 7F People+ program as part of our community, designed to help you hire smarter, lead stronger, and build high-performing teams using Predictive Index (PI).
