Since we are talking about perfectionist tendencies, please forgive my comment that Edgar Degas was a sculptor — not a “sculpture.” Please see the third paragraph, copied from the article above:
“I thought it a little ironic — this master painter and sculpture, whose art is now famous around the world and displayed in iconic museums, was worried some of his work wasn’t good enough to save for posterity.”

You end up wasting lots of time waiting, instead to go for it and give yourself the same amount time (or less) to become better. I see it with my blog. I waited and waited and waited until one day I said: ‘What is going to happen in the next 3 months that will make this blog more successful?’. Nothing. I launched and I use the same amount of time to listen to people who write me and suggest stuff and provide feedback.
I guess then the differentiator could be the feedback. Or confidence.
How confident are you to show others something you did that probably is not perfect?
