To which the correct response is, no, if it's worth doing then it's worth doing it badly

Like although people say the good is the enemy of the best, in fact the reverse is true. If you spend your life not doing things because you can't do them well or you can't be the best, you miss out on an awful lot and an awful lot never gets done at all

So just get on and DO THINGS
