Events in the direct selling industry share many common goals and practices; product and software training, recognition of sales achievements, and reaching particular heights within a company’s rank advancement. All of this is true for Total Life Changes (TLC’s) Back to Basics (B2B) International Tour, but TLC’s founder and CEO, Jack Fallon has implemented several more powerful segments to a traditional direct selling run of show.
Jack’s vision has led to an ongoing weight loss contest from event-to-event where three winners are secretly selected. Each of the winners receive roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, a professional makeover, and additional prizes awarded live during each event.
Jack explains the impact of these contests:
“These weight loss contests have become the focal point of our B2B tour. I just felt like we could generate so much anticipation with a secret reveal of the three winners from event-to-event. I have to give John Licari [C.O.O.] much of the credit for how this segment of the show is planned and implemented.”
“John’s a natural. I mean, he is all heart and he is able to lead our three winners through a conversation that exemplifies their transformation. These stories are much, much more than weight loss stories; I mean, the

An Ecuadorian-American Dream: TLC National Director Jorge Rodas
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
After 13 years in the United States, Ecuadorian immigrant Jorge Rodas still doesn’t have perfect English. Making it in America has been a challenge, as it’s been for so many new Americans. “I was an 11-year-old when I moved to New York City with my parents,” Rodas says. “At the beginning looking for the American Dream was very hard. Language barrier, no friends, everything was new for me.”
Rodas was forced to work at an early age to help the family make ends meet, a hard-way education he thanks his father for. But working at a restaurant earning $400 per week wasn’t enough to finance his college education as an architect. At 23, he was ready to take a chance on striking his own path as an entrepreneur. That’s when the Total Life Changes opportunity presented itself.
“I learned about TLC and how it works through a conference call with Ambassador Ana Cantera,” Rodas recalls. “Looking at her results and seeing everything she was doing in the Spanish-speaking community was why I said Yes to Total Life Changes. I knew by instinct that having the right leadership is key in network marketing.”
Although he had never made much more than the minimum wage,

New TLC National Director Erika Delgado Is A Mom Who Has It All
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
In her previous job, Erika Delgado worked as a secretary for the Colombian army, earning the equivalent of 400 dollars US per month. Balancing long hours at work and raising two young children was difficult, and she found herself turning into a ‘weekend mom.’
“I left my house in the morning before my kids had woken up, and I arrived late at night when they’d just fallen asleep,” Erika recalls. “I only really saw them on Saturdays, and that tore at me.” Complicating matters, the Bogota-born and raised Delgado had also recently been transferred by the army to the small city of Yopal.
Delgado knew that staying healthy was the only way she could keep up with these challenges. She’d begun using TLC products on a friend’s recommendation, and was thrilled by how they made her feel. She began to investigate the business model behind TLC, learning that the company had an office in Colombia.
Alongside her husband, she attended a weekly meeting and fell in love with TLC’s compensation plan. She felt inspired and contacted TLC Ambassador , Ana Cantera, who redirected her to her current sponsor, National Director Cristian Prada.

New TLC Global Directors José Gregorio And Jahnna Hernández – A Dominican Success Story
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Dominicanos José Gregorio and Jahnna Hernández began their career in the MLM industry in 2010. By 2013 they had each generated six-figure incomes, with a 100% local team, in a third world country where the minimum wage is less than $1500 USD a year. But in what seemed like an instant, all of their achievements and dreams fell apart when the company they were working with lost its credibility in their country.
Despite their efforts to keep their business running, they lost everything. This is a story like a rollercoaster, of a couple plunging down from a great height only to find themselves hurled up even higher on the other side. After the disaster, Jahnna was employed again but she’d lost faith in the MLM industry. José Gregorio continued looking for other opportunities, but in the end grew tired of coming up short. He decided to venture into traditional business.
In 2015, they found themselves newly married, with a baby but without great prospects. They were ready for an opportunity, and fortune was with them. Their friends Ana Cantera and Julio Lama (who were also their leaders at their previous company), contacted them and introduced them to Total Life Changes.

Started From The Bottom: Keely Taylor’s Total Life Changes Story, In Her Own Words
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Life wasn’t always easy. I’ve been through many trials and tribulations. Not so long ago, I was pregnant with my first child and homeless, living in a shelter. Moving up was hard work, and the best I could do as a single mother was to find a place in the projects. I set myself a goal to get out of there within a year; I managed it, but the struggle didn’t end. Two more little ones came. I lost the apartment, and returned to the shelter with my three in tow. But I never let it bring me down.
It was around then that I met the man who would become my husband, the one who would share both my burden and my eventual success. We were so far in the hole it seemed like a never-ending cycle. We got so far behind we used to hide our car at the local grocery store so the repo man wouldn’t take it.
I remember when the repo man came to the door and I hid in my closet with my kids while they pounded on the door wanting the car. It was the one possession we couldn’t lose because I needed it to

Giselle Rojas Reaches TLC National Director Rank In Just One Year
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Multi-level marketing (MLM) has a bit of a sink-or-swim side to it: despite the warnings, many are unprepared for the amount of work it takes in the early stages of setting up a business, and they quickly disappear from sight. Giselle Rojas of the Dominican Republic, on the other hand, is a strong swimmer.
She just wrapped up an extremely successful first year with Total Life Changes. From one April to the next, Rojas reached the advanced rank of National Director, and she has no plans of slowing down now.
Rojas is perhaps not the type most would think of when asked to imagine a mid-life success story. Happily married for a quarter-century to husband Cesar Jimenez, she is a mother of four and is devoutly religious. Asked about the Why that led her to TLC, she doesn’t focus on the financial goals that motivate most who go into the business world.
“I want to lead 200 missionaries in taking the gospel around the world,” says Rojas, “and I’d like to establish an orphanage to help the many children living on the streets of my country.”
Her sponsor is José Gregorio Hernández, also a National Director of Total Life Changes, who presented the business

Total Life Changes National Director Sara Gonzalez Breaks New Ground In Paraguay
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
As Total Life Changes continues its successful spread throughout South America, it’s important to recognize the people on the ground whose ambition is driving that momentum. Before new National Director Sara Gonzalez decided to start her business, Paraguay wasn’t even on the TLC map.
“In March 2017 I was coming off of a failure at another multilevel company, but I was still convinced MLM was the way for me to start a business of my own,” Gonzalez recalls. In TLC, I saw a solid company with momentum, products I believed would drive demand, an exceptional payment plan and excellent leadership.”
“Thanks to a blessed Goddess I met Ana Cantera, my sponsor, through my social networks,” she continues. “Seeing the success that she had in TLC, my husband and I made the decision to be part of her team.”
The first 48 hours for new independent business operators are always a challenge, but they were specially tricky for Gonzalez. “When I tried to obtain my registration with the company, Paraguay wasn’t even an option. We would be the first through the breach. That meant we’d have little local support or popular familiarity with the brand.” Unlike many, however, Gonzalez looked at these snags as
