Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Today's episode is a classic segment from GaryVeeTV! Perfection is only an excuse people use to hide their insecurities or explain why they aren't doing something they don't want to do. Aiming for "perfection" is actually slowing you down from reaching your goals. Once you realize that perfection is impossible, you will move much faster, learn a lot quicker, and reach your true ambition in half the time you would trying to make your content "perfect".

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.
