I used to be a perfectionist too, until I discovered something very disturbing about perfectionism (my own at least):
When perfectionism keeps you from executing ideas it is really all about fear.
As long as you keep projects to yourself with all kinds of explanations/excuses to why it can't be finished, you are avoiding the moment of truth where other people get to have an opinion on your work.
Running my own business (shop design) I've learned, that everybody has got an opinion on everything from the business name to the actual services, and if you ask enough people theres going to be pros and cons to every little thing you decide to do or not do.
Basically nothing is ever goint to be perfect or please everybody, so at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is if you believe it's worth the trouble to realise an idea.
