It's a crazy important quote and everyone should really keep it in mind when they set out to do something.
Many people have problems focusing on the task they set out to do. It's a type of procrastination. Insert that famous gif from Malcolm in the Middle.
This is relevant to startups as well (and business in general): Being able to decide whether something is in scope of a project or not. You are encountering a roadblock, how do you react? Do you set out to solve it perfectly or do you work around it (or even, do you give up)?
The quote you pasted is the perfect way to put it into words. Another common theme I hear about is people asking: "How do I become a successful [profession here]?" (eg. "streamer", "youtuber", "musician", "programmer", "writer", ...). The answer is always the same: "Start".
