Some of the most dramatic TLC success stories have come from the developing world, where widespread poverty and underemployment drives even highly capable young people into low-security jobs with meager wages.
Just a few years ago in 2015, Gisselle Dominguez was barely scraping by while studying medicine. Despite the support of her husband, Giandy Dilone, and a large and close-knit family, Dominguez found herself forced to work a menial job that paid just 6,000 DO pesos per month—equivalent to less than $125 US.
“I didn’t have much time for myself, for my family, or to dedicate a few minutes to God,” Dominguez recalls. Fortunately, her twin Yinnette shared an opportunity that would truly change Gisselle’s life. Yinnette introduced her to Iaso tea, and before long both sisters were dedicated drinkers. Gisselle then inquired about TLC’s business plan, and before long she found herself attending a presentation in Santiago, where she met her sponsor Julio Lama.
Lama, who recently became Latin America’s first male Ambassador, encouraged her to set aside her previous work and dedicate herself to the TLC opportunity.

ACN Consolidates and Streamlines Key Websites
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
ACN Inc., a global direct-selling leader, recently announced that they have consolidated two crucial websites that its Independent Business Owners (IBOs) depend on daily. Along with the implementation of the ACN Compass App, this new website is designed to streamline the way its IBOs do business.
“We didn’t get to our 26th year by not seeking out opportunities to grow and increase efficiencies,” ACN President and Co-Founder Greg Provenzano said. “We’re constantly reviewing the entire process of doing business. If there are ways to make running an ACN business more efficient, we’ll find it. This website consolidation will give our IBOs a more professional and impressive online presence than ever before.”
This website merger involves two sites: IBO storefronts and personal distributor sites, once available only to subscribers. IBOs used their storefront websites to acquire customers for essential home services, such as wireless, high-speed Internet, and energy.
Personal distributor sites were designed to pique interest in the ACN Opportunity. Going forward, IBOs will have one, centralized website that can be used for acquiring customers and sharing the ACN business opportunity with prospects. Additionally, the new site features a mobile-responsive, modern design, creating a better user experience.
All IBOs will receive a website as part
