There are succesful perfectionists. However, the majority of succesful people are those "who tried without any fear of failure." Or are "outcome independent". For them it's not : maybe/one day/ I could /when x happens/ when the stars align and jupitur is near uranus then I'll try; for them It's simply: "I want to do this NOW". Keep doing what you are doing I don't think there's any right or wrong in either approach though.
Damn, I started this newsletter when the planets had aligned and hoped that would take care of it.
Jokes apart, high action bias does seem to correlate with finding meaningful work. Part of this is because you don't really know what you find the most meaningful before you take action, and the feedback loop – doing more work, finding out what you actually want to do, and course-correcting – really helps.
