For many of Total Life Changes’ highest ranking Independent Business Owners (IBOs), the work of running a team and selling the product quickly takes over their professional life, and they soon set their previous career aside. But there are also many IBOs who prefer to keep network marketing as an ancillary source of income. That’s the case with Indiana’s Leigh Robinson, who recently made National Director while continuing to own and operate her own advertising company.
When she was introduced to TLC in September of 2016, she was hardly on the hunt. “I’d known Phillip [Birchfield] a few years back when we were involved in a different MLM company,” she recalls. “We both went different ways from that endeavor, and when he asked me to have a cup of coffee I knew it was another network marketing company. I had already decided I wasn’t going to do it. But he didn’t push me. He just told me how he thought I’d fit into the team he was building and gave me a few product samples.”
She had an instant positive reaction to TLC’s Iaso Tea, Phyte and NRG. “Tennis is my favorite form of exercise and my game has improved significantly,” says

From Migrant Worker to Global Director: TLC’s Christian Prada
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
“When I first encountered TLC I’d recently had to leave my home in Colombia without my wife and young daughter to find work,” Christian Prada remembers. “I arrived in the city of Caravaca de la Cruz in Murcia, Spain to work picking fruit. I earned an average of $6 dollars per basket collected.”
Born rand raised in Bucaramanga, Prada grew up in a middle-class family that faced financial problems. Once he’d started a family of his own, working as a migrant seemed like his only option to pay the bills.
“That trip was in April 2015 and that was the moment that Total Life Changes appeared in my life, through an early morning text from my ‘Angel’ Ana Cantera.”
The text from Cantera read as follows: Honey, I’m about to launch something really great for Latin America and we can make history together. I want you to see this video and give me your feedback. Prada calls receiving it the beginning of the best stage of his life so far.
“It was not easy,” he admits. “I was introduced to Network Marketing in 2012, but by the time TLC arrived, I was tired of telling people that I knew we had an opportunity to

A Family Business: New Total Life Changes National Director Harold Scott’s Two Month Success Story
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Good things are said to come to those who wait. In multi-level marketing however, there’s a very strong emphasis placed on the first 48-hour window. Establishing a foothold helps new Independent Business Owners (IBOs) to weather some of the challenges of growing their own team, and serves as an early test of the IBO’s aptitude.
Even for a company that allows new IBOs quicker access to compensation than the MLM average, Harold Scott of Houston, Texas’ success has come uncommonly quickly.
Scott joined TLC in June of 2018. By August, he reported that he’d cleared five figures in earnings, and achieved the rank of National Director “From my first conversations with higher-ups in TLC like Global Marketing Director Phillip Birchfield and my sponsor Phillip Squires, it was immediately clear they shared my philosophies on family and team success,” he says. “I don’t feel I’ve really experienced any challenges in my brief time with TLC because the whole process feels so natural.”
Family is of great importance to Scott. He lives with his wife Monique and daughter Kaela, and has been active in his community for 27 years as a little league football coach, a position he has recently retired from. An engineer by

No Longer Tired: New TLC National Director Jose Antonio Cuevas’s Journey
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
“I have always been an active person,” says Jose Antonio Cuevas, “but over the years I began to feel tired. With my family relying on me, I always did my best, but I felt as though I lacked the strength and courage to do my job.” Like many in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Cuevas worked long hours to keep his head above water, but age and attrition had begun to rob him of vital energy.
“The [TLC] NRG dietary supplement changed all of that for me,” he says. A supplement which purports to raise the user’s energy level by encouraging the body to more quickly metabolize dietary fat, Cuevas quickly became a strong adherent of Iaso® NRG. “Now I am able to keep working all day, and the best part is that when the night comes I no longer feel restless from worry.”
On the basis of his own personal testimonial, Cuevas decided to pursue TLC as a business opportunity. He was introduced to National Director Teuriss Alvarez Santos at a meeting, and she agreed to become his initial sponsor. Cuevas was fortunate to find success within his first critical 48 hours as an Independent Business Operator (IBO). Numerous friends answered his

The Best-Kept Secret in Latin America: TLC’s New Colombian National Director
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Although Total Life Changes’ southern expansion continues to progress at a furious pace, it remains just on the cusp of mainstream awareness. For early adopters Christian Linares and wife Luces Galeano of Medellin, Colombia, the past two years have brought tremendous growth. “I call it the best-kept secret in Latin America,” says Linares.
The couple each comes from humble origins, tracing their relentless desire to succeed to having known scarcity as children. “Our parents had dreams, but they had to work very hard just to support us. Now we have the opportunity to fulfill those dreams for them, and that inspires us.”
Like many of TLC’s Independent Business Operators (IBOs), Linares and Galeano discovered the company via social media.
“We were aware of TLC Ambassador Ana Cantera success, and we reached out to her to discuss what TLC could do for us.” After chatting online, Linares went to the Dominican Republic to meet both Cantera and TLC Founder Jack Fallon in person. He was sold by TLC’s pitch of a compensation plan that paid immediate dividends, and the possibility of helping other families.
“We feel like TLC offers something rare in multi-level marketing: a fair plan,” Linares continues. “We couldn’t wait around to be

by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Total Life Changes’ Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in Latin America asked and they shall receive. The Back to Basics Tour from Total Life Changes is headed to Medellín, Colombia August 24-25, 2018. The B2B Tour has grown in popularity, attracting the interest of hundreds of guests to its impactful weight loss products and family of IBOs over the past eight months.

This was a remarkable formula for success. Many current IBOs acquired new clients and business partners as a result of attending one of the events. The B2B Tour has already visited six U.S. cities and Nice, France. The momentum has carried the company to its best spring/summer revenue to date and now it’s time to take this event to Latin America.

From Coffee To Tea: Dal Woo Lee’s Journey To TLC Global Director
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
In a globalized economy, the differences between the lives of those in industrialized nations now have more similarities than differences. The story of Dal Woo Lee will no doubt be familiar to just about anyone who’s reaching retirement age with plenty of unresolved worries about money.
A resident of Daegu, South Korea, the 52-year-old Lee had spent many busy years in the coffee distribution business, making enough to provide for his wife and daughters, but never enjoying the stability to really save for the future.
“Korea is a fiercely competitive society,” Lee says, “I felt that I had a lot left to do, and not very much time left in which to do it.”
Lee says things began to change in November 2016, when he met his eventual TLC sponsor, Global Director Kang Jin Ha. “When she talked about TLC’s detox tea and the success the brand has had recently in my country, I could feel my heart grow so excited.”
With his decades of experience in the coffee distribution business, Lee understood the challenges (both financial and time-wise) of founding and general managing a conventional startup company. But network marketing was an avenue which had never previously occurred to him, and obviated many
