Perfectionism vs. Shooting From the Hip in Business

[Paul Thomas]

I find that perfectionist mindset causes analysis paralysis on many small tasks for me and unnecessary anxiety. So, I've tried to adopt a "shoot from the hip mindset" on stuff like talking/reaching out to potential customers, putting together first drafts of sell pages, etc. Obviously I'm still being thoughtful in speaking to them, but I am not aiming for perfection. I've found this is better for forward progress and confidence, but I do worry I might break something this way (self doubt in the background?)

I adopt more of a perfectionist mindset when it comes to things like spending larger amounts of money, or filing legal paperwork like a PPA or Tax forms etc.

Would be interested to hear how more experienced guys think of "shooting from the hip" and what requires perfectionism and more caution in the Fastlane game.
