In this episode of Real Estate Junkies: Coast to Coast, Rusty Ham and Rick Abbiati break down the #1 mindset block keeping new investors from success: not making dials.
Whether you're afraid of rejection, unsure of what to say, or just procrastinating—you’re not alone. But if you’re serious about building a business in creative real estate, this episode gives you the mindset shift you need to start dialing with purpose.

✅ Why sellers are waiting for you to call
✅ How to reframe your fear into service using Derek’s mindset strategy
✅ The ACAA method: Action → Critique → Adjust → Action
