## Resource

Prospecting isn’t hard because of scripts or markets — it’s hard because of mindset. In this episode, Matthew Ferry explains why motivation fails, how rejection quietly sabotages agents, and how top producers reframe prospecting so it becomes calmer, easier, and more effective. A must-listen for agents calling expireds, FSBOs, or anyone feeling stuck or burned out.
