Kasim Aslam is a self-made serial entrepreneur who rose from welfare in Albuquerque to become a multi-exit founder and an acclaimed thought leader in digital marketing. He built Solutions 8 into a Google Ads powerhouse (over $100 million in managed ad spend) and now focuses on Pareto Talent and Driven Mastermind, helping entrepreneurs scale with world-class delegation and smarter teams. Kasim is known for his unfiltered honesty, deep operational knowledge, and for championing the power of global talent to unlock life-changing business freedom. On this episode we talk about: Kasim's journey from hustling candy as a seven-year-old to building (and selling) multiple seven- and eight-figure companies Lessons learned growing up with a blind single mother, finding resilience through relentless failure, and redefining success after setbacks Why most people shouldn't worry about “the big idea”—and why starting scrappy (even with a humble service like window washing) is the real entrepreneurial launchpad How systemic discipline around earning, saving, and hiring the right people separates fake wealth from lasting wealth The vital difference between being an operator versus a true entrepreneur—and why the only irreplaceable skill is mastering talent: recruiting, motivating, and building world-class teams Kasim's “quarter principle” and how opportunity only reveals itself once you start moving—even if your first business “fails” How to instantly get Kasim's new book on hiring for free. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Don't obsess over the perfect idea—start where you are, fail small, and extract lessons fast; every real entrepreneur starts with a low-stakes test and levels up by learning in the field.2. Building true wealth isn't about income alone. It's about disciplined money management, playing long-term games, and, most importantly, learning to delegate and attract peak talent for every role.3. The entrepreneurial game changes at each stage: your “buy box” for opportunities evolves, and the skills to get to seven figures are different from those needed for eight or nine; self-awareness and continuous upskilling are essential. Notable Quotes "I've had 100+ failed ventures… failure's just data; nothing ever bombs 100%. You collect the lessons and level up over time." "Entrepreneurship is not fulfillment; your job is to master talent—not the work itself." "The only real leverage in business is people. Learn to build teams, pay top talent, and you'll never work a day in your life." "Everyone's chasing the home run, but the truth is, you earn your first real win after relentless singles, doubles, and pivots." Connect with Kasim Aslam: https://kasim.me/ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

If you're an entrepreneur looking to scale quickly, mastering delegation and understanding traffic are two secrets you can't afford to ignore. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene speaks with Kasim Aslam, a serial entrepreneur and best-selling author, who shares his journey from a welfare baby to a successful business owner with multiple seven and eight-figure businesses. Kasim discusses his philosophy on building businesses through talent acquisition and delegation, emphasizing that the key to success is not being the most intelligent person in the room, but rather surrounding oneself with more competent individuals. He also delves deep into solving traffic problems first and how businesses can thrive by focusing on leveraging external challenges to create opportunities. Key Takeaways: → Why delegation is the most essential skill for an entrepreneur. → The difference between inventors and entrepreneurs. → Why talent acquisition is a life hack for entrepreneurs. → How to scale your business by leveraging the right people. → The importance of liquidity in business and personal finance. Kasim Aslam has built six, seven, and eight-figure businesses, with two successful eight-figure exits, all driven by his ability to recruit and manage top remote talent worldwide. With extensive experience in hiring hundreds of people, he is a recognized expert on finding, training, and managing peak performers. His latest venture, Pareto Talent, specializes in recruiting, training, and matching high-performance Executive Assistants with growing entrepreneurs. Kasim firmly believes that remote hiring not only unlocks a global talent pool but also creates meaningful opportunities for professionals, particularly in emerging markets like Latin America. His mission is to connect entrepreneurs with dedicated, high-quality remote talent, fostering growth and providing financial and professional freedom to individuals around the world.

Doug welcomes Kasim, a seven figure entrepreneur who's mastered the art of turning goals into reality. From writing himself 100 million dollar checks to building the world's #1 Google Ads agency without ever running a campaign himself, Kasim reveals the "magic" behind goal setting and the science of habit formation. Discover why motivation is dangerous, how to weaponise your mornings, and the counterintuitive truth about delegation that could compress 30 years of work into 10. KEY TAKEAWAYS • Kasim has been obsessively goal setting since discovering Tony Robbins at 17. Writing himself checks for $10 million, then $100 million has created something beyond what science can explain in manifesting what he wants. • Through his systematic approach, Kasim cultivates one habit for 10 weeks before moving to the next, allowing him to build five cornerstone habits per year. • After habituating his 4AM routine of sauna, cold plunge, workout and meditation, Kasim operates on complete autopilot. When people ask "how?" he explains he's literally not even conscious during the process. • Despite building the world's #1 Google Ads agency with 200 clients and 100M under management, Kasim has never personally run a campaign end-to-end - Everything was accomplished through strategic delegation. • For first time habit formers, Kasim recommends starting with drinking more water instead of hitting the gym. The goal isn't maximum value but learning the skill of habit formation itself. • According to Kasim's analysis, 60% of most people's calendars contain superfluous tasks. These could be done by others, probably better, freeing up time for more useful tasks. • Waking up two hours before most people gives Kasim an advantage, those morning hours provide 4-6 times more value than equivalent time later in the day. • Through his agency Pareto Talent, Kasim aims to place 1,000 international EAs, then scale to 10,000, creating meaningful work opportunities while delivering exceptional value to Western businesses. BEST MOMENTS "There's magic in it. You know, there's something beyond what science can explain in goal setting. There really is, you could call it energetic or divine or God.” "You don't rise to the level of your capability. You fall to the level of your systems." "I wake up two hours earlier than you. You can and will never catch up to me the whole day and for the rest of your life." "Here's the fun part. I've never run a Google Ads campaign end-to-end in my life. And Doug, I wouldn't know how to." "Nobody wakes up at four o'clock in the morning and sits down and eats Cheetos and watches TV."

Send us a textKasim Aslam, founder of Solutions 8 and expert in hiring remote top 1% talent, reveals how entrepreneurs can build extraordinary teams by treating people as "miracles" rather than commodities. He shares his counterintuitive approach to finding and empowering exceptional talent while leveraging AI as a tool that makes human uniqueness more valuable than ever.• Entrepreneurs are "broken people" who experience dopamine during pursuit rather than achievement of goals• Most business books treat employees as interchangeable commodities, leading to mediocre results• The Pareto principle shows that 20% of people produce 80% of results – fight this natural distribution at your peril• US employers struggle to hire top talent locally as they compete with tech giants and entrepreneurship• International hiring creates win-win situations where your US company becomes an aspirational employer• Pay 10% above the high watermark (not median) to access talent that performs 10-100x better• Use paid trial projects instead of resumes and interviews to identify exceptional candidates• AI replaces tasks rather than jobs, making mediocre employees dangerous while making exceptional ones more valuable• Delegate projects not tasks, and focus on outputs rather than time spent• Virtual work requires intentional connection through small teams, shared interests, and occasional in-person gatheringsStart building your dream team today by identifying what miracle workers you need and creating the conditions for them to thrive.Support the showThis episode is NOT sponsored.

Many entrepreneurs unknowingly build themselves into a corner, believing that success depends on their personal effort alone. The need to control everything keeps them stuck—overworked, overwhelmed, and unable to scale.

True growth happens when business owners shift from being the doer of everything to the leader of something bigger than themselves. Kasim Aslam is a serial entrepreneur who has built multiple seven- and eight-figure businesses, including two successful exits. He founded the top-ranked Google Ads agency and the largest English-speaking Montessori community.

With expertise in business scaling, team building, and operational efficiency, he has succeeded across industries without micromanaging.
