It's always "good enough", except when it isn't. :)
Seriously, though, startups -- and websites in general -- are continually moving targets. Your requirements are always changing, your user base and their needs are always changing.
You ever see the inside of a FedEx truck? Eeek. Focus on what your customers need, over-deliver on that, and keep the rest together as best you can.
You will learn how to manage your business properly with time, and you'll have time as long as your customers are happy.

I'm not sure why you'd treat your own product any different from how you treat freelance work?
What if the freelance client was someone building an MVP? :)

This is my first startup and I'm finding it difficult to know when work is 'good enough' rather than obsessing on the details as is customary when freelancing.
