How do I know if I'm letting perfectionism hold me back in my business?

Think about this week and all the decisions you need to make. Identify which decisions you’re not making because you want things to be perfect or you’re not sure about details. Artists and photographers are creative people with a perfectionism gene, so you’ll tend to have more perfectionism in your decision-making than other entrepreneurs. Check yourself on this regularly. When you catch yourself wanting more information or approval before acting, instead just get to market. The real question is: what’s stopping you from actually moving forward right now? Ship it, get market feedback, then optimize from there.
