And yes, multiple sources of income is perfect for an LIP. @Andy Thanks for the other book recommendation. I'll take a look at it (although I'm personally not a scanner). And yes, it is normal to be one. @Ash I thought I was a scanner because I was always starting new ideas but then upon reaching Sher's book I realized that no I'm not a scanner - I was just avoiding what I really wanted to do which is writing. Now that I focus most of my day on writing, I don't have the same desire to always start something new. I don't get a million ideas the way scanners do. It sounds like a fun way to live though! @Dovelily Glad I could help turn your negative self-image into something positive! @Eliza Thanks for the plug and yes you are a scanner. You always have new ideas - it's part of your Tigger nature. ;) @Brandie You're very welcome! You can still be a crazypants if you like but only if it makes you feel good. (I think I'd like to be a crazypants - sounds like fun!) ;) @Akemi

@Ash
I thought I was a scanner because I was always starting new ideas but then upon reaching Sher’s book I realized that no I’m not a scanner – I was just avoiding what I really wanted to do which is writing. Now that I focus most of my day on writing, I don’t have the same desire to always start something new.

I don’t get a million ideas the way scanners do. It sounds like a fun way to live though!

I am literally floored! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a detailed response to my question. I can't tell you how great it is to know that I'm a "scanner" instead of just "crazypants" as one friend jokes. I'm already working on my homework! Many thanks again! WOW! I am literally floored!

I’m already working on my homework!

Many thanks again!

Who knew? :-) I wonder if most entrepreneurs aren't scanners. We are absolutely fantastic with coming up with ideas, but not so great with narrowing it down to a select few and focusing on those. That's when you need to assemble a support team. Be it Alex's accountability clinic, a business coach, or a project manager. In my case, it's my life and business partner who has already 'been there, done that' establishing a successful business. He's the voice of reason that says "Okay, all very lovely ideas, but which one are you going to work on this week?" I’m a scanner! Who knew? :-) I wonder if most entrepreneurs aren’t scanners.
