Fill your boutique in about a week (Part 6)

Specifically, in his "The Art of Bootstrapping" post, Guy explains it this way:
I can feel the comments coming in already: How can you recommend shipping stuff that isn't perfect? Blah blah blah. "Perfect" is the enemy of "good enough." When your product or service is "good enough," get it out because cash flows when you start shipping. Besides perfection doesn't necessarily come with time–more unwanted features do. By shipping, you'll also learn what your customers truly want you to fix. It's definitely a tradeoff: your reputation versus cash flow, so you can't ship pure crap. But you can't wait for perfection either. (Nota bene: life science companies, please ignore this recommendation.)

A good thing for all of us to keep in mind. The thought of ‘perfection’ is an enemy of a lot of things in business.
And the opposite of perfect isn’t crap. The opposite of perfect, to me, is nothing. To get caught in a cycle of perfectionism, with anything connected to business, is to hold back while everybody else is surging ahead.
