Making adjustments on the fly as well as taking action steps can be simple remedies for such a paralyzing mindset. @Chris and @Terry

As long as you are taking the action as you see it right now, you might be surprised how good it really is. Then, if you do fail you've got another experience to draw from next time.

I think that those who don't really want to implement their "great idea", chain it down by saying only perfection is good enough. As you said, first you have to fire and then you can make corrections along the way so that you stay on course to hit your target. It's kind of like driving a car - you make a series of adjustments so that you can reach your destination. Hi David,

I think one of the key things that makes business people successful is learning when perfection matters and when they can settle for good-enough. David,
