Title: The Year I Started Saying Yes: How Looking for Open Doors Changed Everything
Description: Most people are waiting for the “right” opportunity—the perfect timing, the perfect connection, the perfect moment.
But what if the opportunities are already there…and you’re just not looking for them?
In this presentation, Kylee shares how a simple mindset shift—from waiting to watching for open doors—completely changed the trajectory of her life and business. What started as a random conversation with an Uber driver turned into a season of intentional yeses: showing up in new rooms, booking the WIB Retreat last minute, reconnecting with community, building a mastermind from that commuinty, stepping into leadership, and pursuing bigger opportunities than ever before.
This isn’t about saying yes to everything.
It’s about learning how to recognize the right doors—and having the courage to walk through them.
Attendees will walk away with:
A new framework for identifying real opportunities (not just distractions)
How to create momentum through strategic yeses
Why proximity and rooms matter more than most people realize
Practical ways to open doors in their own business and life starting immediately
If you’ve been feeling stuck, plateaued, or like you’re waiting for something to shift—this talk will show you how to start moving now.
