Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Jeff Rose discusses the one component that stands in the way of success for many entrepreneurs: the need for perfection.

Don't let perfection stop you from making progress and conitnuing to establish a better business. Some things take time and experience to get just right, and sometimes you need to take a leap of faith before you can learn what went wrong.

Therefore, Rose stresses the important of prioritizing progress over perfection.
