02 - Business On Your Terms: Erin Thomas-Wong’s Flexible Approach to Success
In this episode of Between The Bells, I’m joined by the wonderful Erin Thomas-Wong - life-friendly business mentor, top 100 UK Female Founder, podcast host, and author of Mumpreneur Evolution. Erin has built a business that prioritises flexibility, clarity, and family, and she now helps other women do the same.
We dive into:
✨ Erin’s journey from TV production to five-time business owner
✨ Why flexibility isn’t a compromise — it’s a choice
✨ Systems and tools that support a life-friendly business (Kajabi, Buffer, QuickBooks)
✨ The power of support and outsourcing with a strong team
✨ How to implement “CEO Time” to work on your business, not just in it
✨ Understanding the “snow globe brain” — and how to settle it for clarity and wellbeing
✨ Focusing on the 5% of activities that actually move your business forward
Bell Ringing Takeaway: Erin’s “snow globe brain” analogy is a game changer for overwhelmed entrepreneurs - sometimes stepping back is what brings everything into focus.
School Drop-Off Shoutout: Coffee shop thinking time, one coffee per hour, and a solid change of scenery. Erin shares how this simple habit fuels her best ideas.
Homework Assignment: Start blocking out CEO Time. Take at least two hours each Monday to plan with intention, focus on your 5%, and own your role as the decision-maker in your business.
