T.I.M – My Personal Blog
Chris Murray
Only a few people know my story… that is about to change.
My name is Chris Murray, I am a highly skilled online video producer and editor. I have a two-year-old daughter, a beautiful and loving partner, two wonderful adopted daughters and one grown-up son who occasionally works with me in a media company I own and run for the past 10 years… Originally from London, I now live in Bratislava capital city of Slovakia in eastern Europe, a 3-hour drive away from the mountains, the place where I would like to finally retire. Some would call this a degree of success, I would call it manifesting your dreams…
Rewind 10 years into the past and it was a different story…
In 2011 I was made bankrupt, it was a personal bankruptcy; everything was taken from me except my professional camera and that was only because it was the property of my company. I did not believe I could ever fully recover from what happened to me but today the emotions that used to run high inside of me are fading and I am so grateful for that. It has been a decade of healing. Between 1990 and 2009/10 I was a high-flying computer programmer and software engineer who was reduced to less than nothing. It was soul-destroying; the loss of my family, home and everything I owned, felt like a sentence worse than death. Today as I look back I see it as the time when a metamorphosis occurred and little by little my mind started to change. Today, the primary things I stand for are a direct result of my financial crash and in many ways, I give thanks to the positive change that happened to me. God knows that living in abandoned buildings and living on the breadline could have sent my mind either way. My rise from what felt like a cosmic black hole was incredible and I put it down to one mindset shift.
However, something happened to me, a metamorphosis. I called it ‘HulkRising’
I had two choices to get up and live or fold and die. I choose LIFE.
After 3 work redundancies during the 2008 recession, I vowed that I would never work for another monthly payslip again from a company and instead create an income for myself, completely independent. Today I want people to have options and have the ability to make their own money and make themselves independent and be their own boss. I have been my own boss for over ten years and there is no better feeling of freedom. There are lots of bad things happening in the world and good people must be strengthened mentally, physically and financially to stand up and say “No more” and influence more positive change.
I will continue writing my story and this blog in the hope to show people how to rise up and become the best version of themselves. In so doing improve their lives and the lives of their loved ones and the people who listen to their stories.
I playfully call this website T.I.M (The Independence Machine). It was born out of a strong desire to have the ability to serve people with empowering knowledge and at the same time generate an income for myself. Helping people to stand out and promote themselves and their businesses is a passion of mine and will go a long way towards helping me complete my own personal healing process 🙏🏽☀️
