About this listen
A deeply personal field guide to defeating your own worst enemy.
When you dream, you envision a magical future. You have heroically slayed the dragons and unlocked the creativity and genius buried deep inside.
But how do you actually get there?
You can analyze the myths of visionary creators - artists, writers, musicians, software developers, etc., who have accomplished the impossible. You’ll read about how they went for it, refused to quit, and would not be denied. But exactly how these successful creators went from being fearful dreamers to accomplished artists proves elusive. They seem to have secret sauce inside that you just don’t possess.
Running Down a Dream unflinchingly bares the naked truth behind all creations and shares the practical to-do list to take you from here to there.
The good news? You don’t have to be an Austen or a Michelangelo or an Oprah to create a work of art.
The bad news? There is no glossing over the pain, embarrassment, and financial terror necessary to contend with on your journey to mission accomplished.
More good news? What lies ahead for you is the realization of your heroic self. The run is worth it in ways you can’t yet imagine.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Let’s be real
Came to this book after your podcast with Joanna Penn and was not disappointed. The book is exactly what it promises to be and what you expect. It’s frank and down to earth discussion about what it is to be an author or writer, or the struggle to even accept or feel like you’ve earned that title. It was great to her your personal account and your experiences, but it was also great to have an informative and interesting discussion alongside your story.
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

Awesome
The author shares his creative journey with painful honesty. It’s refreshing to hear from someone who is still on the journey, but he is prepared to share the ups but mostly the downs of each step along the way. Tim, if you read this, I can’t believe you didn’t sing tge boulder song

Outstanding - well worth the credit
Slightly unusual format but very honest, open, and reflective and it made me think about my own journey a lot more than books that just contain lists and tips. Actually started listening to it again as soon as I finished it the first time.

Great and to the point
First found out about the book from Optimize and Brian Johnson. the book covers Tim's personal doubts and journey, giving helpful tips and for me, a realisation. Honest, helpful and humbling - thanks!
