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

Dr. Chi Nguyen has achieved the Double Diamond Rank At Valentus. This is what he had to say upon hie achievement:
When the dust cleared at the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975, my family found ourselves citizens of a country that no longer existed. As we stepped foot on American soil at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, we knew we had to begin our lives over.
My parents began living a future more complex than they could ever imagine.
For the next 28 years, my parents worked tremendously hard mentally and physically to support their five children. Having seen and experienced hardship, I knew I had to work hard to succeed. My passion to help others paved my way into the field of medicine.
Besides helping people medically, I wanted to financially help those with hardships.
12 years ago, my wife and I learned about network marketing through a friend. We saw the potential of this industry as a business option driven by effective products. Timing and positioning are keys that open the door to any opportunity. We felt this to be the perfect time to position ourselves with a great opportunity to help our parents, family, and others.
We understood that network marketing

Amway USA 15% Retail Sales Not Compliant With The FTC Business Guidance For MLM?
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
The FTC consider any USA company with a network marketing compensation plan and retail sales below 51% as a Pyramid Scheme and regular attack smaller companies who are not compliant with the FTC Business Guidance For MLM.
In 2012 a Wall Street Journal reporter asked Doug DeVos and Steve Van Andel, in an interview:
What percentage of the products that Amway sells to the distributors, are resold to end-user customers who are not also distributors?
The Amway co-CEO’s told the Wall Street Journal that 50% of the sales that are made to distributors are resold to actual retail customers. The other half is not resold by the salespeople to anyone.
That seems to be not true, at least not for the USA…
Amway nowadays release the retail numbers at their achievers conference every year and have not gotten over 15% in the USA market.
Average is around 12-13% and Amway tries to improve those retail figures. International retail sales might be higher.
I am not after Amway, I am not trying to poke a bear, however as an international Direct Sales reporter in my opinion it’s a strange situation the FTC goes after smaller MLM companies and let a Network Marketing giant get away with minor retail sales for the past 25+ years.

by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Vida Divina, a global direct marketer of nutritional and healthy lifestyle products, announced today that Rosy Rivera has obtained the rank of Diamond.
Working with Vida Divina from the very beginning of the company in 2016, Rosy Rivera has reached Diamond rank in what anybody would deem as an example on how to make the best out of a chance. Rosy lives and works in Puerto Rico, just 20 minutes away from San Juan, and in the comfort of her home Rosy gladly reveals, during a phone interview, in the last month she registered earnings in the 5 high figure mark.
“That includes only the profits from networking, but not from the direct sales of products, so I assume the check is a little ‘bigger’”,
says Rosy, with a smile on her face.
That’s really amazing considering her background. Some years ago, Rosy Rivera had no choice but to live on a welfare house with her two daughters. “Now I have four properties in Puerto Rico that I rent to the government. So, it’s kind of a funny situation. You know, going from being dependent to becoming more than independent,” she says.

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
