SURPRISE, Ariz., Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing a web based all-in-one sales and marketing software for small businesses since 2004, Infusionsoft's revolutionary approach helps their clients automatically market to secure more customers, grow their sales and save precious time. Among the high profile guest speakers at the company's annual User Conference in 2011 were renowned motivational speakers Brian Tracy, who has conducted seminars and workshops in 61 countries worldwide; and James Malinchak, known to millions via his appearance on ABC's "The Secret Millionaire."

Even with all that star power at the Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, it was Janette Gleason, an Infusionsoft Certified Consultant and Ultimate Marketer Finalist 2011, who earned the event's only standing ovation from the audience of a thousand people for her powerful, honest and intimate presentation.

In her 24-minute speech, she spoke about her background and journey to become one of three finalists in the year's annual marketing competition. She talked about the campaigns she worked on and the creative marketing strategies she launched in Infusionsoft in only 30 days – which completely revitalized the marketing of Gleason Financial Group, LLC, the umbrella company owned by her and her husband Joe, after a slide related to the Great Recession. On a moving personal note, the Chicago native (who grew up in the Northwest suburb of Schaumburg, IL) detailed the challenges of balancing life as an entrepreneur and mother of three young children, including the Gleasons' older son (now 11), who is high functioning autistic.

Truly a modern Renaissance woman for the modern age (entrepreneur, small business owner, marketer, consultant, coach, speaker, teacher, author, wife and mother), Janette covers all of these topics and more in her recently published book "Confessions of a Mompreneur: My Journey from Stressed-Out, Stay-at-Home Mom to Successful Entrepreneur."

The book tells the background story of Gleason, a former elementary school teacher who met her future husband Joe at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. There is also a section about the lessons and blessings of being a parent of an autistic child. She calls her son, who was diagnosed at age four, "an amazing person who changed my life and who has taught me more about myself than anything else." The third part tells the empowering story of how Janette became an Ultimate Marketer Finalist and turned their business around, and the final section talks about what her life is like now as she skillfully navigates her life as a "mompreneur."

After becoming a Certified Infusion Consultant late in 2011, she began coaching other Infusionsoft entrepreneurs as part of their "kickstart" using the system—helping everyone from massage therapists and realtors to travel agents and weight loss coaches take their businesses to the next level.

Janette, still a partner with Joe in Gleason Financial Group and its subsidiaries, Gleason Tax Advisory Group and Gleason Investment Advisory, currently works with a customized vertical/niche marketing version of Infusionsoft that she created to work exclusively with estate planning attorneys and financial planners, two industries that she is intimately familiar with. She is working to create a "small army" of virtual assistants, stay at home moms with entrepreneurial skills who can execute the nuts of bolts of the "sandbox application" and customize it for each client.

When she lived in the Chicago area, Janette was not only chosen "Teacher of the Year" for her work with her students, she also was skilled at teaching her colleagues about technical things, including how to use Powerpoint in the classroom. Her driving passion has always been empowering others to achieve their goals – and she has been engaged in a whirlwind of opportunity to do that since becoming an Infusionsoft Certified Consultant in December, 2011.

"I know I have the gift of teaching, and if I can't explain things correctly one way, I can explain it another way until my students, or these days my virtual assistants and coaches, understand," she says. "Some may call me a 'superwoman' but I'm still a mom who makes homemade waffles for the kids every morning. Then I'm invited to speak before 1,000 people and find that fulfilling in a different way. I am currently working on a second book and hope to secure more motivational speaking gigs so that I can inspire people with this success story that can someday be theirs as well."
