Top 5 Takeaways from Willny Guifarro: 5.  Real estate is not for the meek — it’s hard work and you have to put in the effort.  4. Don’t get discouraged if you have to make a lot of phone calls to get some contracts. And understand that not all of your contracts are going to close. Real estate is a numbers game, so you have to drive up your numbers. 3. One of the biggest things Willny would change about his real estate journey would be to pay for education when he first made some decent money. Willny said had he done that early on, he would have made much more money and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in mistakes with deals, employees, etc. 2. Scaling is the new buzzword in real estate investing, but you have to hire the right people. You lose much more money hiring the wrong people who don’t want to work hard than you do developing a system for hiring, training, evaluating, and firing when necessary. Don’t pay a good salary; commission-based pay keeps people hungry. Don’t be in such a rush to scale up that you scale for the wrong reasons, so scale too much too fast. 1. Resetting your business when things feel out of control may be the best thing you can do. Be critical of your organization, your hiring and training, your methods and procedures. If your business has become unfocused, or employees aren’t getting it done, don’t be scared to pull back a little, reset and reorganize, and then dive back into it with clear intentions.Consistency is huge — it helps your employees and it helps you keep on track. Bonus Takeaway:  You will make mistakes! Understand that this will happen, but don’t lose your determination. Learn from your mistakes, plan for tomorrow, and keep working.  About Steve Trang Steve Trang is the founder of the Real Estate Disruptors movement and host of the Real Estate Disruptors Podcast.
