What if?  We've all played that game in our heads or even out loud with our spouses or best friends.  What if we moved to a different city?  What if I went back to school to get an advanced degree?  What if we won the lottery?  (That's one of my favorites.)  What if I could do what I love most and get paid well to do it?  

Kat Gordon, founder and creative director of Maternal Instinct , a marketing-to-mothers creative consultancy, answered that last question while she was at home caring for her two young children and missing aspects of her life as a former writer for Sports Illustrated and a senior copywriter at a big ad agency.  Her journey to discovering what she was capable of is captured in an interview with Tim Jahn of Beyond the Pedway, a website geared toward helping creative entrepreneurs live their dream and build successful companies.

I met Kat Gordon online about a year ago when we were developing Jane Nation.  Her blog, Maternal Instinct, has been a constant source of inspiration to me.  And Kat has been a great encourager as I work to make Jane Nation the best it can be.  

If you are looking to make the leap into entrepreneurship, reach out to people like Kat who have done it already.  They are a wealth of information and support.  

Way to go Kat!  We love how you are helping companies better understand mothers and market to them in more effective ways!
