Is Peter McKinnon WRONG? Photographer and one of Jamie Windsor´s favourite YouTubers, Peter McKinnon shot from 0 to 1,000,000 subscribers within one year. He lives by his mantra: DONE is better than PERFECT. But is this a good philosophy to aspire to?

When I've made my most successful work, I've worked to a very different goal: to get as close to perfect as I can manage. So does this mean McKinnon's approach is wrong? Or is it more complex than that? - said Jamie Windsor on his YouTube Channel - This video is about the journey I have personally been on after hearing Peter give this advice, and how my understanding of it has developed.
