OK, so I haven't blogged in a while. Must be nearly three years since i last published a post. What's happened in that time? Well, it was because of this blog that i ended up publishing my first book. I had written a series of short stories from my time in the Police.... It was great therapy, extremely enriching and humbling and then to finally have your own book, in print, in your hands...... it's like a real wow moment. So all the stories came down from the blog and into print and EBook.
Here's the book MY BOOK
Publishing a book is one of those moments in your life that marks a new chapter in your own life. It certainly was for me and most definitely for my business and career path. At the same time as publishing the book, i was just starting out in business as a Ltd company. Had been in the sales game for 9 yrs and thought if i want to truly be my own boss, think for myself, work how i want to work and also when i want to work, then there was only one thing for it. Start my own business. So, the little old shed at the bottom of the garden which has been host to parties, TV shows, radio slots, charity fundraisers was now The Solar Shed Ltd Company.
A Renewable Energy Centre at the bottom of the garden where my customers could come and have a look at how technology can help them generate their own heat and electricity, save a few quid and do what's best for the planet. And that's been happening.
Next week, we will be celebrating our 3rd yr as a Ltd Co and just starting our 10th on the renewable industry. Right now, the builders are in. We're having a total refurbishment and make over. We had prided ourselves on everything that was in the Solar Shed was reused or recycled and to much of an extent, we're continuing that theme, but we need to be a little 'slicker' and have better facilities as when we re-open, we will be more than just a solar company.... We'll be taking groups of up to 12 ppl at a time and showing them how to green their lives. Everything we have done, everything we have learned, everything we do and the things we have learned from our thousands of customers..... we'll be passing on that knowledge and experience to those who want to get rid of their energy bills, create a greener , cleaner environment and better finances.
It's like a 'Green your life makeover centre' where you can buy stuff that makes you happy.
Right now, the plaster is drying out on the vaulted ceiling with exposed 200 yr old beams, flooring guys is in tomorrow, windows and doors next week and hopefully by the 19th we'll be back in business.
Most of this stuff is on twitter via @Thesolarshed or on the FB page of the same name. But, i do hope to get back into blogging again, there's something quite therapeutic about writing, late at night when everyone is tucked up.....
Catch you soon
