T.I.M – My Personal Blog
Chris Murray
Only a few people know my story… that is about to change.
In 2011 I was made bankrupt; everything was taken from me. I don’t believe I will ever fully recover from what happened but every day I feel grateful to be alive and feel the prospects of a brighter future. I say fully recover because even whilst creating this piece, emotions still tend to run high. I do not think anyone can truly erase the emotional scars left behind by a personal bankruptcy. 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 else I held dear, it was a sentence worse than death. I am a dreamer and funnily enough the intensity and frequency of my dreams increased with this collapse.
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 and kept on dreaming.
After 3 work redundancies during the 2008 recession I vowed that I would never work for another payslip again and instead create an income for myself, completely independently. This website that I call T.I.M (The Independence Machine) was born out of a strong desire to have the ability to serve people with empowering knowledge and generate an income. This was my dream and today it has come true. From today onwards, I would like to begin a regular blog documenting topics close to my heart – business, personal, and other things going on today in our crazy world.
