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

TLC’s Iaso Tea Fuels Counselor’s Dream Of Founding Alternative School
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
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

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

I Have An Answer! 70-Year-Old Total Life Changes National Director Gets New Lease On Life
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
One of the beautiful things that Total Life Changes (TLC) brings into the lives of its Independent Business Operators (IBOs) is the ability to break out of the molds life can impose on us. At age 68, many seniors feel as though it’s no longer possible to change course, that things are the way they always will be, for good or ill.
Suzanne Ramsel of Little Rock, Arkansas scorns this kind of thinking. Since joining TLC in June of 2015, Suzanne has risen to the rank of National Director, filling her golden years with green and feeling healthier than she has in years.
At TLC, one of the most important questions an IBO can ask of themselves is Why. Why the hard work for an uncertain reward? Why do I feel confident enough in this product to recommend it to friends and family? “My Why keeps changing,” says Suzanne. “I am 70, I feel amazing. I never want to be a grouchy old lady that doesn’t feel good. I love my energy, I love sharing and caring for others and yes of course I love the financial aspect of this company.”
A grandmother of 15, Suzanne needs that energy to look after

National Director Nthati Makgalemela Earns More Per Month With TLC Than Per Year As An Architect
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Around the world architects are as respected and, for the successful at least, well-compensated a profession as you can find. How is it then that Nthati Makgalemela has found herself earning more per month as a multi-level marketer with Total Life Changes than she did per annum as an architect in Johannesburg? To find out, we have to start at the beginning.
“I joined TLC on the fourth of November 2016, because I really needed a change in my life and was not happy with my financial situation,” Nthati recalls. “I had been in a previous [multi-level marketing] company for 10 days and only made $50. I left because the methodology was too complex and there was no real training.”
Fortunately, the experience didn’t sour her on the network marketing concept as a whole, and she was ready when her friend and fellow architect Khanya Cakata reached out to her about TLC. “He had gotten a call from Matthew Harris, who was looking to launch TLC in South Africa. I was looking for change too, and I dove in without a second thought. I was one of the first 10 people in South Africa to say yes.”

Zee Walasa From South Africa Achieves National Director Rank At TLC
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Although Zee Walasa only joined TLC in January of 2017, she has already achieved the rank of National Director and an average monthly salary hovering around $25,000. Like many of TLC’s IBOs, Zee’s first encounter with the brand was as a consumer.
“All I wanted was the tea,” she recalls with a smile.
“I just needed to lose weight and wasn’t interested in the business aspect at all. I had promised myself that I would never get into these network marketing schemes.”
But, as fate would have it, Chanita Foster, the American she contacted about purchasing Iaso® tea, was visiting South Africa and brought her the products in person.
“I was instantly thrilled by the quality of what she’d given me, and curious about how the sales side worked,” she says. The relationship the two women forged resulted in Zee joining TLC with Chanita as her sponsor.
Chanita, whom Zee sometimes refers to affectionately as “Coach,” helped her get her local business started. “I wasn’t quite sure what I’d gotten myself into, as I had never done network marketing before. I had my first tea party right away. Coach Chanita came into my living room and did the presentation for me. I had over 30

“I Just Want To Show Others What’s Possible”: TLC Success Story Stephen Alan and Victoria Kimuyu
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
The success of Total Life Changes National Directors, husband and wife duo Stephen Alan and Victoria Kimuyu is testimony to the power of determination and positive thinking.
No achievement in the multi-level marketing industry comes without total commitment to the process, even in the face of considerable initial challenges. Although it only took Victoria two years to reach an income level of roughly $12,000 per month with TLC, those two years were a long and difficult road for the couple.
“Although we had success with retailing the products online, I wanted more,” Victoria recalls. “And to get more I needed to build a team. I struggled for all of 2016. We had built a system that not only retailed the tea for us, it also generated new leads every day.
And I still struggled with getting the right people on board that would stick. I couldn’t quite figure out why it wasn’t working.” Even during this period of hardship, the seeds of their eventual success were in place. Stephen was an experienced online marketer, with a passion for TLC products like Iaso® Tea and NutraBurst® that the couple themselves used at home.
“As Stephen once told me, this is a numbers game, it’s about
