Many Total Life Changes stories originate from a place of financial hardship: the loss of a once-stable career, perhaps, or a history of familial poverty. The story of Su Jeong Lee of Daegu, South Korea is different, however.
“When I told my friends that I wanted to do network marketing, they were surprised,” she says. “Many told me not to do it. My husband’s a bank manager, and I’m a psychological counselor at a public school. Our relatives are the superintendents of the school board, and each of our children has a scholarship. Why take the risk?”
While she understands why her friends had reservations, she says she made the decision because she has a dream. As part of her work as a counselor, she’s dealt with many children who have difficulty adjusting to life at school. Some of these children face severe bullying, or have learning challenges which inhibit their progress. The combination is a formula for extreme stress, in a country which puts a high premium on academic success.
“Many Korean teenagers are committing suicide, and the pressure of working with some of these pupils was exhausting to me as well,” she recalls. She began to drink TLC’s Iaso® Tea on

It Works! Opens First Asian Office In South Korea
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
It Works! recently opened its first Asian affiliate here, confident that the U.S.-based direct sales company can overcome difficulties in operating such a businesses in Korea.
It Works, founded in 2001, posted $686 million in sales in 2016. It has offices in 22 countries in Europe and Oceania.
For years, the nation’s direct sales market has been regarded as a fierce battlefield.
Fifty companies are registered as members of Mutual Aid Cooperative & Consumer, a mutual aid society of multi-level marketing companies. Some Korean consumers have shown their dislike of such businesses on an online forum named Anti-Amway.
The Fair Trade Commission’s data on the payment gap between the top and bottom layers of recruits has also caused doubts about the revenue model.
But It Works global chief sales officer Mike Potillo, who visited Korea last week to promote the company, was confident the company would be competitive.
He cited the Ultimate Body Applicator, which is exclusively available at It Works, as an example.
Potillo said the non-woven cloth wrap tightened, toned and firmed users’ skin, if they wear the wrap for just 45 minutes.
“Our rivals may market vitamins or skincare products, but they do not have the product like the wrap,” he stated in Seoul last week.

Jiman Jung And Myong Park Achieve 3 Star Platinum At Mannatech

Jiman Jung and Myong Park from South Korea achieve 3 star Platinum at Mannatech a Triple A classified opportunity by Business For Home.
Triple A is the top classification.
This is what they had to say:
According to statistics, chronic diseases are increasing globally because our immune systems are weakening
Many products claim to boost the immune system, but Mannatech products with scientifically validated glyconutrients, which support our immune system, are truly best in class.
Supply and demand are at the heart of any business. Everybody needs glyconutrients, and because it will become harder to supplement what we need with just food, glyconutrient-based products have unlimited market potential.
Mannatech, a global company offering the best products is also changing its Compensation Plan. Everyone needs both Health and Wealth to be happy. It’s hard to have both, but many successful Mannatech leaders including myself are wealthy and healthy thanks to Mannatech, and that is why they are telling the world about Mannatech
More importantly, our future will be even greater than what we imagine today. After taking and using the products and with what we have achieved, I can proudly say that this is the best business in the world, and that is why we want to tell
