7FF 797: The Contractor Problem No One Talks About (But Everyone Deals With)

June 19, 2025

About This Episode

If you’re flipping out of state, then LISTEN UP.

Here’s a tactic you won’t find on YouTube (but you WILL need eventually):

Before Dr. Sheri arrived to walk her new flip, her GC sent the whole crew on a lunch break.

Then sprayed Febreze all over the house.

Why?

Because “he didn’t want her to smell anything bad…”

…or “have to meet the guys.”

🤨

The reality is that he didn’t see her as the project owner.

He saw her as someone who needed to be SHIELDED from.the real work.

Someone who wasn’t supposed to get her hands dirty.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

Instead of confronting him on the spot, she PAUSED.

She PROCESSED.

And she made a STRATEGIC DECISION that kept the project, and the relationship, on track.

This week, she breaks it all down with Adam:

The tension. The internal reaction.

And the exact mindset she used to lead WITHOUT LOSING LEVERAGE.

When you’re managing a flip, you’re not just managing the project.

You’re managing personalities, perception, and power dynamics… especially when the crew doesn’t see you as the leader.

And if you handle that wrong…

The job slows down, the respect evaporates.

And suddenly you’re the problem.

Inside 7 Figure Runway, we show you how to LEAD through these exact moments:

You don’t need to be loud to earn authority.

You need to be UNSHAKEABLE.
