About Ruth King...
Ruth King is a serial entrepreneur. Over the past 25 years she has owned 7 businesses. Her first business, Business Ventures Corporation began operations in 1981. Through Business Ventures Corporation she travels throughout the United States coaching, training, and helping small businesses achieve the business goals they want to achieve. She is especially proud of one contractor she helped climb out of a big hole. He started with a negative $400,000 net worth 15 years ago and is still in business today…profitably and with a positive net worth.
After twelve years on the road, doing 200 flights per year, she knew there had to be a better way to reach business people who wanted to build their businesses, train their employees and communicate more efficiently with their customers. As a result, Ribbon, the Internet Broadcasting Network, was born. Current channels include HVACChannel.TV, iBusinessChannel.com, iRealEstateLink.com, WorldCapitalLink.com and TheGarageBandNetwork.com. Turn On. Tune In. Find Outsm.
