In this episode, I talk to fellow parentpreneur, Erin Thomas Wong.
After the birth of her first son in 2008, Erin left her career in television production and became a jewellery franchisee.
After a couple of years enjoying the freedom that self-employment gave her through the franchise, Erin started a series of her own companies. First, Pitter Patter Hub, that provides events and classes for parents with young children in Ealing, in West London.Then she started Ealing Mums in Business with her co-founder Shelley Henderson, providing courses and classes for local businesses.
Erin and her co-founder were awarded a Mumpreneur Top 100 award for Ealing Mums, and were also recognised in parliament for their efforts in supporting local businesses.
Most recently, Erin has launched an online community for Mumpreneurs, as a solo project, to support them in networking with each other and sharing advice.
In this interview we discuss what it’s like to build businesses whilst also bringing up 2 kids, how Erin started business as a franchisee, how she handles the challenges of running multiple businesses at the same time.
