Create The Heat
What’s “Heat”?
For Dale Carnegie it’s “the eager want”. For Jim Ruta, it’s the burning desire or undeniable inspiration to make a difference both with audiences and with their prospects and clients. Heat comes from the style that helps people want to do what they know they can do but just haven’t done yet. Jim flips the switch, so advisors create the heat to transform their businesses now.
