## Resource

When You Hear “No,” Do You Quit — or Use the Power of Persistence? What do you do when you hear the word no ? Do you assume it’s final? Do you take it personally? Or do you know what to do next? In this episode, Val Frania talks about persistence as a learned skill — not hustle, not pressure, and not stubbornness. Drawing from years of advocacy, ministry, and real-life furniture flipping experience, Val explains why most people quit too soon and how calm, steady persistence often changes outcomes. You’ll hear stories about: Advocating when systems say “no” Holding firm with low-ball buyers Navigating product failures and learning curves Knowing when to persist — and when to course-correct Why wise decision-making matters more than pushing harder This episode is especially for beginners who feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or unsure if they’re “cut out” for furniture flipping. Key takeaway: Persistence isn’t about forcing things to work — it’s about staying engaged long enough to learn what to do next. 🎧 Listen now and discover how persistence, paired with wisdom, can change everything. There’s a lot of noise out there… If you want a clear starting point: 👉 ValFrania.com/ClearPath
