Welcome to Your Friday Playbook (sent on Thursday because of the holiday),
Last week, we shattered the myth that networking is enough. Step 2 of the Top 5% Method® was all about connecting with key players who can help bring your vision to life. Many of you reached out, built new bridges, and started conversations that could change everything. The next step now is to Spot and Seize the openings before anyone else even sees them.
Doors Open for Those Who Knock
Years ago, I had the network and the vision, but I was still waiting for someone to invite me to the next level. That’s when I realized: doors don’t open for those who wait. They open for those who knock.
I started reaching out to executives to create real conversations about possibility. I stopped asking for advice and started asking for a seat at the table. Everything changed the moment I decided to seek the openings, not just the connection.
“The Best Executives seek the openings, those rare moments when a conversation turns into a collaboration.”
That’s Step 3 of the Top 5% Method®: Seek the Openings.
It’s not about waiting for your shot. It’s about creating your shot.
Action for This Week
→ Identify one “opening” you can create: a conversation, a pitch, or a new collab.
→ Don’t wait for permission. Take the first step and make it happen.
→ Want accountability? Hit reply and tell me what opening you’re creating. I read every message.
Why it works:
Because opportunity isn’t found. It’s made. The top 5% don’t just hope for a break. They create the opening, one bold move at a time.
With love 🩷,
Katheline
PS: Step 4 will be sent to you next week!
