America's Microbusiness Expert

The Microbusiness Mom - America's Microbusiness Expert is Gina Robison-Billups -- CEO, author, popular speaker, owner of multiple microbusinesses, and mother of two. Gina has walked the path of microbusiness ownership and knows what it's like to be strapped, struggling, alone, and ultimately successful in your dream of entrepreneurship.

As the founder and CEO of The National Association For Moms In Business - the nation's leading association representing Entrepreneurial, Executive and CEO moms, Gina has spent the last six years supporting, educating, serving and representing the needs of business moms. 

Gina started the organization in 2001 as a fluke thinking that she would find the national association that represents moms who are business professionals, and after a year and half realized there wasn't one. Gina knew, from personal experience and from other women's stories, that there was a deep bias against mothers in the workplace and they were being passed over for career advancement and business contracts just because they were moms. Gina then sold her business so she could devote herself full-time to the association.   Today, it is still the only association representing moms in business.    www.nafmib.org

In addition, Gina started Moms Making a Million in August 2008 which has the mission of reducing poverty in America by helping one million moms by 2015 have a plan to earn/create one million dollars in personal net worth.  The progress of the program has been slow because Gina was diagnosed with a very aggressive breast cancer in Nov. 2008.  She still worked during that time and grew the program much more slowly than she hoped.  The program has grown to 215 members in the first year while Gina was in treatment.  More information about that can be found at www.momsmakingamillion.com

Gina meets audiences - mainstream American business owners -  right where they are in their entrepreneurial journey.  50% of America's business owners are home-based businesses and 85% of all registered businesses in the U.S. are "microbusiness" - meaning they have 5 or less employees and started with $35,000 or less initial capital investment.  Gina helps give these business owners sound marketing, business and balance habits and tips that are do-able and will help them create the business and lifestyle of their dreams and the freedom they desire.

Her work with home based business owners and mom business owners has earned her the title of the "Home Based Business Advocate" for the state of Nevada in 2003 and 2007 from the Small Business Administration, and she was named as a national finalist for The Women's Congress 2008 Champion for Women Awards. Gina is also the Co-Chair of the National Healthcare Committee for Women Impacting Public Policy.  She serves to help bring a voice microbusiness owners, particularly women-owned, through her work with WIPP as well as serving in partnerships with CARE.org, MomsRising.org, MomsVoteMatters.org, Create Your Dreams Awards, and the SBE Council.  Gina is also the founder and board member of The International Association of Working Mothers.

Gina was most recently asked to be a member of a  kitchen cabinet on small  business ownership to  Elizabeth Vale , the White House Business Liaison in the Office of Public Engagement.

Gina is the co-author of  The Accomplishment Journals- the daily planning and accountability system designed initially for executive moms to be more effective and create a sense of a balanced life has now expanded into a series of journals available to more than only moms!  Look for that to be available for purchase in January 2010.
