My Book - "Running For Home" and what I did before I became my own boss!

In my book "Running For Home", I go into great detail as to what I did before I became my own boss. I can honestly say that it was without doubt, the best decision that I ever made and I have no regrets other than wishing I had done it from the beginning.

"Running For Home" is an autobiography about a man that could not settle at anything but finally finds what he's looking for in self employment.

It goes into the agonies of being employed and the unhappiness that developed as a consequence along with life's uncertainties and disappointments on the way.

Should you want to know just what I got up to before I became  successfully self employed, then you must read my book to understand how I felt and how I arrived at this point wishing to help others get into a better place. "Running For Home"

My Day Job - Best Autobiographies

Do you know what my day job is? I'm a window cleaner, that's right a window cleaner. I have been for nearly 28 years now and I can tell you it's not been easy especially physically.

After all it's a demanding job yet one that can have more satisfaction in it than first meets the eye. When I first started in 1986 I bought my window cleaning round from a guy that was retiring. It was a risk I had to take and boy did it pay off. Since then I have had regular, uninterrupted self employment and at pretty good money.

The window cleaning industry has come a long way since those early days in many ways including health and safety. The risks I took when I first started when I used ladders makes me shiver even today. I worked on ladders for about 20 years or so but I miraculously, never fell off and I never had any serious injuries.

Equipment and techniques have moved on to a level unimagined just a few years ago and is much more scientific. Take cleaning with pure water for instance, that is cleaning with water that has been purified and has no minerals left in it. When a window is cleaned, it is brushed and rinsed with this pure water and the effects are almost magical. The water is left to dry on the glass naturally and the effects are truly remarkable. Once dry there is no trace of the water whatsoever unlike if the job was done with tap water.

On that first day of window cleaning, almost 28 years ago, I had a set of wooden ladders a mop and squeegee in a bucket and that was my investment. Now the equipment can cost thousands.  For instance, I now have two poles with a combined value of nearly a thousand pounds not to mention the van and all the associated equipment within.

Your Old Enemy - Time - Best Autobiographies

 Your old enemy - time



When you are young, you look forward all the time. The future stretches out before you like a conveyor belt delivering yet more life, more experiences more hope, such ambition!

Of course, when you are older and I think you know what I am going to say now, you begin to look back more on things, reflecting on all those memories, perhaps some regrets. You will have many memories to share, some good some bad. You will feel like a warrior that has come through a battle and survived. You may feel a sense of achievement, not necessarily because you succeeded financially, but more that you came through all those experiences and hard times and gained something.

Personally, getting older is not the the same as getting to thirty and beginning to panic. Yes you will go through all that and when you get to twice that age, you will look back and smile. Of course there is no stopping the onslaught of time. Yes time that old enemy that lurks at every corner. Time that does not let up. Time that catches you unaware when you let your guard down. "How long has it been?"  we often say when we realise just how fast time has floated by and caught us unaware.

Yes time will shadow and harass you but it's something you come to accept. It's like some sort of time travel itself. It just seems to get faster and faster but not for everyone else. You try to offset this by promising to make up for lost time by doing more things. Trouble is there isn't enough time to do all those things remember?

When I was younger, I could not sit very long before I had to be up and doing something. I could do so many things in one day it would seem. But now, I can sit in a chair and just think about all the things I am going to do. In fact I can now "sit for Britain" as though it is some sort of perverse competition. And yet, you just seem to accept it gracefully with an increasing sense of contentment.
Not what you would expect at all.

There was a time when I would look at older people and think that they must be incredibly frustrated at not being able to do the things that they want. Just sat there all the time. It's not that you wanted that to happen, but it is true that all you now want to do, is sit more and more yet at the same time wish you were younger and be able to do all those things. And as the saying goes " the mind is willing, but the flesh is weak."

You begin to realize that you are turning into your own parents. I can remember my dad always making a big issue over looking for his glasses and I would always be scornful. Now I am doing the same thing but accept it with an ironic smile. You know it's strange but they don't call them the golden years for nothing because you become more accepting of your old enemy - time.

If you want to know how just how I filled my time over my life then you can read my book, Running For Home
