❓What if your “high standards” are the very thing slowing down your growth, income, and impact?

So many high-achieving women delay launches, overthink decisions, and keep refining behind the scenes—telling themselves they just need one more credential, one more tweak, one more round of prep. The result? Burnout, stalled momentum, sunk costs, and powerful ideas that never make it out of Google Drive.

In this episode of Build and Scale Boldly, Dr. Leti Alto breaks down how perfectionism shows up in business, why it’s rooted in fear of failure, and how it quietly costs you growth, money, and momentum. She shares a simple, actionable reframe: build the “A-minus” version, launch sooner, iterate faster, and let movement—not perfection—drive your success.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✅ Insight #1: Why perfectionism often keeps you stuck in planning, certifications, and endless refinement—while preventing you from ever testing if your idea actually works.

✅ Strategy #2: How to launch earlier, gather real feedback, and use iteration to improve your offers instead of spending months (or years) building in isolation.

✅ Mindset shift #3: How to move from “I need this to be perfect” to “I need proof this works”—and why A-minus work, consistent launches, and balanced focus on product and marketing create real momentum.
