This is a YouTube video titled "Is Richmond Dinh Legit? Clark Testimonial" (uploaded March 26, 2023) featuring Richmond Dinh interviewing Elita Clark. Elita describes discovering Richmond in May 2022, joining the PTP program on October 21, 2022, and following the program to grow her coaching business. Within months she ran a five-day challenge that produced over $10,000 in sales (six of 16 finishers bought), which allowed her to pay cash for a car. She reports improvement on Richmond's internal "score" from ~41 to 64 and notes prior struggles (under $2,000 in a year) and taking a $15/hr part-time job to afford program payments.
Chapters
Hey, Elita. Firstly, let us all know where you're coming in from. And. And when did you first do my challenge?
Oh, my goodness. I, I had to write it all down this morning so I could have my timeline of when I found you. I'm from Florida. I'm in Florida, and so it is sunny here today. But I discovered you in May of 2022. But I did my first challenge then, but I didn't jump in. I should have because I floundered around doing the ebook and the pro bono. But it worked. It worked. It worked just enough to go. I need to do more.
Right, so when did you jump in?
I'll tell you exactly. October 21st of 2022. Catherine signed me up for PTP and I was in it to win it. And literally I did. From October to February, I did exactly what you said. I followed this, I did this. It works, it works. And I had, I just. In February was my one year mark of being a coach. And I literally had my first 10k month after my very first 5 day challenge.
Oh my goodness, guys, give it up for Elita. Give it up.
And what that meant for you because I saw you post in the Facebook group, in our PTP Facebook group that you, it was it allowed you to buy a car or is that correct? You didn't have a car. What was the situation there?
So in. During COVID I had to make a choice, a very hard choice because I'm older now and I had never been without a car since I was 16. And during COVID I lost my other business and I had to make a choice on keep my house payment or my car insurance payment. So I turned my car back over voluntarily and was without a vehicle for over a year. And literally after my five day challenge, I called my son and I said, I've scheduled 10 discovery calls from my five day challenge. And I said, I'm going to at least close two. And I said, and I know if I close two, that'll give me a deposit or a down payment. And I, you can start helping me look for a car. Car. And he goes, okay, that sounds good. It'll probably take us a couple months. You'll have to sign some more and get some cash. So I, I had 10 appointments all the next week.
And I get so excited. I called him on Tuesday and I said, one appointment, one call, one close. I was one for one. I closed one. They paid it all up front. And I said, so I'm on the way. He goes, great, Great, mom. By the time I Was finished with the 6th call. I had over 10k and I paid cash for my car.
That is so good.
And the tags and the insurance and a new steering wheel cover and a full tank of gas and took everybody out to celebrate. And it was from just 6 out of 10 people said yes to my program for my very first five day challenge. All because of you.
Appreciate you, Lita.
Yeah, it was amazing.
Sincerely, sincerely, you are such an inspiration.
I saw your post inside the group Too that in October 21st you scored yourself and then you got your score. Now so what, four or five months later, what was your score before when we scored from yesterday's exercise?
Yesterday was a 60. Was a 64 and the first time was 40. 41.
41. Amazing. And remember guys, yesterday I said you actually only need to be on 70 to be on consistent 10k months. It's not a very high score. And so she's gone in those five months.
Lifted her score up from 41 to now 64. Made a first 10k month cash paid off her car. Elita, what were you doing before? Like was there any imposter going on? Because it sounds like you've only been doing this for a very short amount of time.
Yes, I, sadly I invested in another program before I found you. When I very first started in, in the coaching world back in 2022 in January. And it was, it was just sad. But anyway, so I did deal with the whole should I do this? Is this really me? Can I teach people how to do something when I just started myself? And the first thing in May of 2022 when I found you, the one thing I wrote down in my book, which I keep all my notes with all my tabs of everything you've talked and I wrote down just be one step, just one, one step ahead. And I, I did that. And every day when I met somebody new, I just kept telling myself I'm just one step ahead of them. As long as I'm one step ahead, I can lead. You know, as long as you're in front of somebody, you can lead them. And that's, I just had to accept that, you know, that I could do it as long as I was ahead. And then of course in some of the other things that you had said along the way, my life's experience, I had over 30 plus years in advertising and marketing in, in the other world, if you will. And all of that is keeping me one or two steps ahead. So yes, I, I, I was, I was just like literally the whole year that I was A coach. Until I found you, I hadn't even made, sadly, even $2,000 in almost a year of just, you know, coaching here and there. And people were going, oh, charge what you're worth. Make sure that you make plenty of money. And then it's like, do pro bono. And I'm like, oh, do it for free. How am I ever going to make any money if I give it away? But it truly does work because you have to do the results in advance to build the authority so that people will follow you. And the pro bono also really helps you refine your message, your niche. You, you learn. Like you said, you, you did your pro bono and you realized you didn't want to work with older people. Thank goodness you're coaching us people, but you didn't want a life coach. And so that's so true because in the pro bono, I, I changed my niche, I changed my direction. I learned from all of that and it helps build your program. And then when I did my five day challenge, I mean, it wasn't huge. I had 37, 38 people sign up, 26 showed up and 16 finished. But out of 16 that finished, six people said yes. I mean, how much?
I'm more than happy. That was great. And my next one is going to be even better. So, yeah, it's just amazing and it's so true. If you just do the work and follow the process and find the belief in yourself and never settle and keep believing and it, it happens. It really, truly happens.
Elita, you're amazing. Who's loving this conversation, by the way? Yeah, can you just put up the heart emoji so she can feel all the love pouring into her right now. Alida, I know you're a great community person, like you are just helping everyone out, but I'm guessing there's be some people in PTP who's really helped your journey as well. How's the community been? Have you got some new friends? Were your friends before this? You know what I mean?
I can't. It's just so hard to keep up with. And I look around and I see faces and I see Stephanie and I see different people here right now that I feel like are friends because I've seen them. And then in the NLP course and it's, it's one big, huge community. Catherine was amazing. You know, she held my hand, she guided me from the very first time we had the talk in May, and I just couldn't make it happen. And, and then in October and in October when I jumped In I couldn't afford to do the one huge payment so she worked with me and I took a part time job. I took a 15 an hour job just to pay my payment because I knew how important it was and I thought, you know, if I can't pay it now, I'll find a job. I'll work five hours a week, six hours a week, whatever it takes to pay that payment and then my coaching business will cover it. And it, you have to believe, you really have to believe in yourself and believe that it will work. And it truly, truly it does happen.
Very cool. Hey Alida, you want to know the scary thing?
No, I'm afraid.
Our passion the Province program is a 12 month program to get your score up to 70, 80, 90, 100, whatever score you're going for. Right. She's only been in there for four and a half months and we also do a three day business boot camp every three to four months which she hasn't even been to yet.
And so she hasn't even been to our three day immersive boot camp. Raise your hand. Have you been to my three day bootcamp? Just out of curiosity. Yeah. Type in the chat screen. What's the experience like at the three day event? She hasn't even been to that. We haven't even worked at it for the full 12 months and she's got a few boot camps to go to. I'm scared because I don't know how far you can take this and it's really scary. In a good way. In a good way. So we're just at the beginning of your journey and I hope I haven't jinxed you.
No, no, you haven't. As long as I'm here, I'm not going anywhere. And I'm just. You, you truly have to really absorb it. And I, I, I, I don't know. I, I mean, I just don't know what else to tell people other than follow the plan. I mean, take notes, do your notes, do the plan and it really works. And have the courage to step out of your comfort zone and really like you always say, you know, never stop, never stop believing and never settle. And I was terrified about the five day challenge. I truly, truly was terrified. I mean I, I wrote radio commercials for years and I've talked to thousands. You know, I have a face for radio, so. But to do the five day challenge and put myself out there was, was terrifying. It really, truly was. And you know, you said, and I, and you even said one time because somebody asked in one of the challenges. Well, what if you have the challenge and nobody shows up or just one person shows up and you go, it's just pro bono. And so I just kept telling myself, if one person shows up, it's just a pro bono session. And it. It's just amazing. You're amazing. Thank you so much for everything that you do.
