Seth Godin on Quieting the Lizard Brain

“What you do for a living is not be creative, what you do is ship,” says author and entrepreneur Seth Godin, who suggests we must deal with our fearful “lizard brains” to avoid sabotaging projects just before we finally finish and present them to the world.

That summary is from a couple of sources, including scannercentral.co.uk

The site also explains, “Scanners are creative people who have lots of interests and lots of ideas and they want to be able to pursue all of them.”

In the video, Godin refers to The Wachowski Brothers coming to California to make The Matrix, and says (paraphrasing), “It turns out, coming up with ideas for movies isn’t particularly difficult. What’s interesting about them is they actually made a movie from their ideas.”
