My Home Based Business Purpose & Philosophy:

“I have grown to love of that little area just beyond my comfort zone where my tummy flutters, my heart beats a little big faster, and life feels a bit more vibrant.” ~Heather C Stephens

I believe that we become better together than we are by ourselves.

I love working with other moms and dads to help them create a life of their dreams in a home based business that fulfills their purpose, passions, and makes them come alive!

I know that you have gifts inside of you that can help someone else.  I know that when you show up and you are present in your home based business you will get results.  I know that business is a whole lot scarier played from the stands than it is down on the court.

I’m making 2011 my leap of faith year…I hope you will join me!

About Clever Marketer…

I designed this blog to be a journal of my life as a social media manager and mompreneur and a testing ground for various social media and marketing strategies I was learning from the guru Internet marketers and Internet network marketers to build my home based business.

Started in the summer of 2010, the Clever Marketer Blog has become a place for collaboration, motivation, inspiration, and education for hundreds of up-and-coming marketers, bloggers, home based business owners, and Internet network marketers!

My vision and intention is to make Clever Marketer the best place online to receive un-hyped education, guidance, and encouragement to help you reach your blogging and home based business, internet marketing goals.

    Wow…your journey is so like my own. I, too, joined a MLM group several years ago and became addicted/obsessed with personal development. Psychology and human behavior fascinate me as well.

    Reading your try/fail record gives me hope. Thank you for being so transparent. I feel like you’re just a few lengths further down the road than I! I will definitely be “stalking” you on this journey. So glad to have found your site!

      It’s all about the journey, Steve! We all have our struggles and our success is dependent on how we use them!

      I think that knowing there are others on the same journey going through similar struggles is what makes this so much fun!

      Appreciate the comment!

    Hi again Heather!
    I enjoyed reading your story! I am preparing to launch my website and get my blog going. I too have a fascination for psychology, and before moving to the US 1.5 years ago, had a career as a psychotherapist. I’m excited about getting my coaching practice up and running-it is my true passion! I’ve just taken an intensive social media program that was way over my head, but super fascinating. I’m looking forward to watching it all unfold!
    Ciao for now,
    Marian
