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.

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

New French Total Life Changes National Director Credits Company’s “Beautiful Human Values” With Her Success
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
France is a relatively new territory for network marketers, and many in the field have experienced resistance from customers unaccustomed to the MLM business model. In the past few months, however, Total Life Changes has seen a number of its pioneering independent business owners (IBOs) in France graduate to some of its highest ranks.
One of these is Cynthia Crosetti of Nantes, a 24-year-old single mother who just became a National Director. It’s rare for anyone to make five-figures in a single month, let alone a woman raising a three-year-old on her own, but that’s just what Crosetti claims to have earned in commissions the month she reached her new rank. How did she do it?
Like many TLC entrepreneurs in France, Crosetti’s path to success came through Mélaine Bernard, Europe’s first Global Director. Crosetti had previously worked with Bernard at another network marketing company and felt a kinship with her values.
“I left a leader position with a comfortable income at my old company to restart all over again with TLC. I was convinced that with the exceptional product range that TLC offers, I would be able to quickly develop my business. Seeing what she was accomplishing, it felt quite natural to

Total Life Changes’ 50% Commissions The Difference-Maker For New National Director Phillip Squires
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
“I joined TLC on July 5, 2014,” Phillip Squires recalls. He doesn’t need to consult his records to make sure he has the date right. “I still remember like it was yesterday.” According to Squires, it’s the day he found his true calling, one that would take him all the way to the National Director rank with multi-level marketing company Total Life Changes.
“My sponsor was Phillip Birchfield,” Squires says. The two Phillips had worked together at a previous company and hit it off thanks to a shared interest in health and entrepreneurship. “Phillip [Birchfield] called and invited me to his house because he had something to show me. He sat me in front of his computer and showed a presentation. Like anyone with a television, I know how many people are desperate to lose weight, which is why so many MLM businesses focus on health products. I have confidence in my ability to sell, and thought to myself, if it’s as good as product as they say it is, I’ll have no problem. But what I was really impressed with was the compensation plan. In our last company, the largest residual percentage was 8%. When I saw that TLC paid

Opportunity can come at the most unexpected times and places. While at his sons goalie training. Mike noticed Valentus’ Ted Wilson doing work in the bleachers when their sons were at a hockey camp.
A simple conversation turned to an opportunity to help with health and time freedom, an offer Mike couldn’t refuse and was definitely searching for.
“Ted said everything right and introduced me to the products.The products turned into a passion that I wanted for my friends and family,” Mike says. “That grew into a profitable, successful network marketing business that eventually gave me time freedoms to enjoy the people and things that make me smile.”
For the past 20 years, Mike has serviced power lines around Alberta, Canada, as the owner of Ultra Power Construction Ltd. The Vegreville, Alberta resident has spent years working outside often in cold, windy and harsh conditions. The company ran him rather than him run the company.

Dominican Entrepreneur José Herrera Achieves National Director Rank With Total Life Changes
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Latin America has become one of TLC’s top emerging markets, and few are more emblematic of that success than José Herrera. Born and raised in the city of Higüey, Dominican Republic, José joined Total Life Changes in June 2015 with no prior experience in network marketing.
A husband and father of four, José dreamed of providing his children Jessica, José Ángel, Jhendry Abigail and Sara Liz with a first-class education so that they would have no limits on their own dreams.
Interestingly, it was actually José’s wife Jhendry who signed up for TLC first, seeking to lose weight and improve her diet by using healthier products. When the couple’s sponsor, Julio Lama, explained the TLC business model to José, he immediately saw more potential to the concept than a few lost pounds.
“I’ve been a successful traditional businessman,” says José, “And I was happy with the level of success I’d achieved. But when I considered TLC’s compensation plan and tried their incredible products, I knew I was onto something much bigger.”
The first 48 hours are traditionally the biggest challenge for new TLC Independent Business Owners (IBOs), but they’re also a way of proving one’s mettle. “It wasn’t easy to make the mental transition

Felecia and Reggie Parks Hit National Director With Total Life Changes
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
One of the unique charms of working at Total Life Changes is that husbands and wives can achieve success together. Durham, North Carolina’s Felecia and Reggie Parks are a great example.
The couple have each reached the high rank of National Marketing Director with TLC, while finding time to raise two amazing children and work full-time corporate jobs on the side.
Though the Parks now represent the very picture of American success, what they’ve accomplished might not have been possible without the perfect opportunity TLC presented them to supplement their primary income.
In 2014, the Parks family had decided to build a new home due to the stress of dealing with Felecia’s two hour commute to her corporate job, two valuable hours each day she could have been spending with her family.
Secretly, Felecia was nervous about the purchase. She had been laid off in 2011 and, though things were tight that year, nothing was lost. But if it were to happen again now, she wondered how they could possibly afford their new mortgage. Hoping for some added financial security, she began to research the network marketing sector. Enter a new opportunity.

Total Life Changes is pleased to welcome Manteca, California’s John “Blaze” Chatman to its circle of National Directors. John has been with TLC since December 1st, 2014, a date he recognizes in retrospect as the beginning of a new phase of his life and career.
As an experienced network marketing veteran, John knew from the outset that TLC had great potential because of the quality of its offerings.
“Our culture is different because, instead of leading with the business opportunity, we actually lead with the products,” John says. TLC’s products have a powerful impact on customers, and as they talk about their experiences with friends and family, John has seen his business grow organically.
The testimony of his team speaks for itself, with some of their customers reporting that they have lost as much as 45 pounds within 60 days. John has benefited from TLC’s products himself, with a regimen of Iaso tea, Resolution Drops and NutraBurst allowing him to lose weight and keep it off. “What I enjoy about this company is clear from the name itself: Total Life Changes,” explains John. “That’s what TLC has been for me.”

Pamela Davis Rises to National Director Rank With Total Life Changes
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Pamela Davis is originally from Kingston, NC and moved to Raleigh, NC many years ago. Pamela joined Total Life Changes (TLC) three years ago.
She was introduced to TLC by current Executive Ambassador, Lenika Scott. Pamela was very hesitant to join another network marketing company, but she trusted Lenika because they met in 2009 in a previous company.
Pamela explains her decision to finally say, ‘Yes’ to TLC:
“After building a high five-figure income within my previous company for two years, the compensation plan just crashed. It wasn’t built to support distributors that I would characterize as, “little people”. It was built to fund only those distributors at the very top. I was not ready to give this industry another chance. Mentally and physically I didn’t have the strength to help build another direct
