I am blessed to be around remarkable people. There are always Takeaways to learn. That is what I am sharing on this podcast.

Takeaways – Life. Lessons. Learned. explores learning from the wisdom of others.

If you’re on a journey to become a better version of yourself this year, then Ruth Furman’s story will help you get there. As the owner of Image Words, a Public Relations company in Las Vegas, Ruth helps her clients “shine brighter.” Her clients range from major corporations in health care, legal, construction and real estate industries to individuals on their way to becoming national public speakers. We talk about PR in this episode but that’s not the only thing that makes Ruth so remarkable.

In 2012 Ruth was in a dark place. She was hit with the perfect storm of losing major clients,  health issues and her weight was out of control. She was negative and just not herself. A good friend that she met through NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners) held up the mirror. Ruth decided it was time to change.

Fast forward to present, Ruth’s business is thriving to the point that she is scheduling margin in her day-to-day. She became a Lifetime Member of Weight Watchers having lost 77 pounds since 2015. And she has transformed from being a chronic complainer to being joyful!

Ruth and I covered a lot in this episode. I specifically wanted to have her on this time of year when resolutions likely start to fade to show us all how did she did it. And how she maintains it!

What else can you learn from a person like Ruth? Here are just a few of the Takeaways that we discussed on this episode.

  • The power of creating an annual mantra.
  • What is “deserve level” and how does it coincide with achieving your goals?
  • Why its important not to hit the ‘snooze alarm’.

I hope you enjoy!
