Her triumphs and disasters are revealed in her bestselling business book: Rules for Renegades: How to Make More Money, Rock Your Career, and Revel in Your Individuality. (The book is available at all major retailers or via http://www.RulesForRenegades.com.)

Reaching #3 on the New York Times, #2 on the Wall Street Journal, and #1 on USA Today’s business best seller’s lists, Rules for Renegades, inspires the power, courage and optimism needed to build success at this time. It teaches the REAL things necessary to survive and to THRIVE, even in a rough economy. While most people are burying their heads in the sand hoping this recession will all go away, Comaford offers this: “SOME will use this time as a launching point to create wealth, bring new ideas to life, and propel their businesses and careers into the stratosphere.” Tapping into the same success and ingenuity that literally took us to the moon not that long ago, her book offers to teach a new set of rules – something we sorely need as a nation right now.

Over the last decade, Christine has used her success to build, advise and invest in a host of businesses that stimulate economic growth. She has built and sold five of her own companies (with an average 700% return on investment), served on the board or as advisor to 36 businesses, and has invested in over 200 startups (including Google).

She has repeatedly identified key trends and technologies years before market acceptance.

Stanford Graduate School of Business has done two case studies on her and PBS has featured her in three specials (Triumph of the Nerds, Nerds 2.0.1, and Nerd TV ). CNET has broadcast two specials covering her unconventional rise to success as a woman with neither a high school diploma nor college degree.

MEET MóNICA GARAYCOCHEA

Mónica will be blogging on Radiate your inner Beauty, Discover your True-Self, Liberate your Shadow-Self and Enjoy your Creative-Self

She is a woman who has explored many healing modalities in her journey to find happiness, and the meaning and purpose of her life. She started of as a medical doctor for 14 years in her home country Spain. She left her career in a traditional medical practice because she was more interested in the “spiritual awakening” than the “physical fixing” she was trained with. She was looking for a deeper or spiritual understanding of how to support real happiness, freedom and health. She then spent more than ten years searching, exploring, and learning many avenues of personal growth and spiritual realization. Zen, A Course In Miracles, Arne Rantzen, Gangaji, Eckart Tolle, Jeddah Mali and David Deida had an especially powerful impact on my life.

As a teacher and coach of the “Feminine Way” she supports women to “Discover their True-Self, Liberate their Shadow-Self and Enjoy their Creative-Self” while respecting their Feminine Essence and trusting their Masculine qualities, so they can naturally radiate their inner Beauty, Light and Love to their world.
