Janette
Gleason, a best-selling author and Mompreneur, owns and manages three small
businesses with her husband,
Joe. A former schoolteacher, one of Janette’s
passions is sharing knowledge with others and helping
others go after their dreams to create a lifestyle where they can balance work
and family life as she has
done.
After 10
years in teaching, Janette became a stay-at-home mom to care for her family
including their
autistic
son. Today, Janette thrives on helping women in Arizona and around the world
achieve their own success. Her latest
book, Transform, reached best-seller status on two Amazon.com categories:
direct marketing and
marketing and small business. She is working on her third book.
Janette
resides in Surprise with Joe, their three children and their dog, Buddy. When
she isn’t running one of their
businesses, consulting with clients or being “Mom,” Janette enjoys reading,
sewing, traveling and spending
time with loved ones. "My family is
my life. I chose to leave my career as an elementary schoolteacher after 10
years because of my belief,
and my husband's, that the best thing for our family would be for me to stay at
home once we had kids."
"Today, we
have three beautiful children: Joey (12), Jianna (10) and Jillian (8). Our son,
Joey, has autism, but we
didn't know it for the first four years of his life. Once we received the
diagnosis, we enlisted all the services we
could to help him. He has grown into a fine, young man, who has given me a
greater understanding
of faith, patience and compassion. Our daughter, Jianna, is our artistic child.
Whether we're
working on vision boards together or she's picking out accessories for my
outfits, her creativity often
inspires me. Our youngest, Jillian, is our nature lover. It's a blessing that
we live in Arizona so she can enjoy
the outdoors year-round. Recently with the cold temperatures blowing through
the state, we got some
snow. Our family got in the car and drove two hours north so Jillian could see
snow for the very first time.
We all enjoyed our "snow" day.
My husband,
Joe, rounds out our family. We have been married for 16 years. We are partners
in every
sense, both
personally and professionally. We founded and manage three small businesses:
Gleason
Financial
Group, LLC; Gleason Investment Advisory,
LLC; and Gleason Consulting Group, LLC."
Joe, her husband wrote, "What is very rewarding
for me as a father is seeing the example as a woman, mom and professional she is
for our children, especially our daughters. When she won a Camaro in 2013,
it demonstrated to our kids that when you set goals and work hard anything
can be possible. What made it more rewarding for the family is that we
were all involved with the contest to win the car."
Joe continues,
"she recently came up with something that has made many of our married friends
jealous. She created what
we call “51 First Dates.” Since we were friends all the way through
college, we never really had
a “first date” so in an effort to keep our marriage fun and fresh we
are going on 51 first dates! The only rules
are that our dates have to involve something we have never done before and NO KIDS!
It has been so much fun
to fall in love all over again."
