This YouTube video transcript features Chris Collins describing Derek Smith’s multi-year journey through a coaching program to reach the program’s “elite” tier. Derek took roughly two years to achieve elite status—longer than his original six-month goal—after making difficult personnel and business changes; a recurring competition (referred to as a fantasy football or “top dog” competition) and metrics like net-to-gross and CSI are described as core elite benchmarks.

So Derek has been in our coaching for how long? More than two years, I think. And so Derek Smith just made elite after two years, went through tons of, you know, changes, doubling down, lots of hard work. And would you describe it as an evolution? It was an evolution for sure. That took a. Took, took longer to ramp up and hit. His goal from the day that I met him. From the day that you met him, was that he wanted to get to our elite in six months. And at the six month level.
It was really clear that in order for him to get to the elite goal, he was going to have to make some really, really tough decisions about personnel, the way they did business, everything like that. And he struggled with that for a really, really long time. And, and it's funny how.
The thing that happened with Derek is the same that happens in the people that make it in 90 days is that they just decide that it's time and they just do it. And my favorite thing about this. So the thing that Derek that was keeping him out of the elite group was winning our fantasy football league, the top dog competition. So it took him 24 months to win his first one. And guess how long it took him to win his second one? No time at all. The exact he repeated it was like. Which is really hard to do. Yeah. And it was almost like once he unlocked a code and then all of a sudden success wasn't as far away as what he thought it was. And I think he would tell you that he would go back again and do all the stuff way faster and he would have the same results, just faster. And if you are not familiar with our coaching group or with our program, we have an elite group which there's certain. When you come into our coaching, there's certain benchmarks you have to hit the hardest. One of all the benchmarks to hit is winning our competition where your advisors compete against other advisors. Then there's a net to gross and a CSI element to it.
And he did it. So congratulations, Derek. We're really proud of you. We had our elite call this morning and it went really well. It's really fun seeing him, everybody, but it's good.
