From secretary to vice president in 6 years, followed by 19 years of independent success in the male-dominated business of personal financial planning and management, Ms. Christina Gears brings a perspective of critical value to women and practical value to all of us. While men may be entertained and brought to action by stock-jockies and complex market analysts, women are more successful with a broader understanding of basic principles of financial management;  remember – women are gatherers, not hunters.

Ms. Biz helps women take control of and understand their financial futures in ways that are important to them. So girls, get ready to dive in, 4-inch heels first, to the testosterone dominated world of personal finance. But remember, to put on your big girl panties and fasten your seat belts - it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
