Possibly brilliant too. How do I tell whether it is coming from insecurity or from my drive to not avoid shlep?
Often perfectionism in one area is a means to avoid shlep in another.
For instance I prefer developing software over marketing my product ( http://gridspy.co.nz ). This means that perfecting our product's software is the comfortable and easy option when what I need to be doing is picking up the phone and calling people.
