Tim Quit His Job... Again: Trying To Start A New Business
Oh dear, it happened again. In this episode, I come to the painful realisation that my current line of self-employment won't enable me to reach bigger goals I have set for myself. It's time for a change, but what do I do now?This is Episode 1 of Season 4. I've started a new season as I feel that my change of direction warrants a degree of separation from previous episodes.

Staying Loyal To The Nightmare Of Your Dreams
"It was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice." - Jospeph Conrad, Heart of Darkness.

When survival is your only goal, it's easy to orient yourself and find motivation. When survival becomes easy, finding meaning becomes hard. Having cleared the breakwater, I am confronted by an open ocean with no signposts. It's enough to make me wish I was back on the shore. But this is the dream I chose to pursue, and I must stay loyal to it in the face of the nightmares it brings.
