Time to rethink what I'm doing here

Friday evening was a particularly difficult evening for my marriage and I’ve been rethinking my existence ever since. Not to bore you with semantics but the overall gist is that because of my professional existence both at The Times and with my other various projects I am having no time to dedicate to my relationship with her.

I knew this was an issue and I could feel the impact it has had on her but I was going along with the idea that all this work was going to amount to something at some point and secure our future. While there has been good progress I have to ask at what price does this all come?

Certain other people will agree that Venture Capital in SA sucks and as a result every bright hair-brained scheme I’ve had has been implemented on zero budget with very little resources.

While I have had an awesome experience in the process and learnt a lot about my capabilities there is only so long one can go on for before nothing needs to amount to something and I guess this is where I am.

The time I’ve lost with my family can never be recovered and I simply can’t hold on to the idea that at some point something will work – what if it doesn’t?

I’ve done some soul searching and come to the conclusion that if it doesn’t make me money it isn’t worth my time and I will now focus solely on my job position at The Times and continue with Afrigator for a limited time to see if our new business model can actually work.
