It was social media expert and author Scott Allen who quipped: “Done is better than perfect”....
"This was my first learning curve. Being a perfectionist is well regarded in many creative industry work environments. It shows you are dedicated and passionate about your work. I tend to be this way. However, I came to understand that in the context of decision-making, this quality could be a disadvantage for an entrepreneur. Getting wrapped up in minute details of my work can mean I miss the big picture."
