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

by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Total Life Changes’ Independent Business Owners (IBOs) in Latin America asked and they shall receive. The Back to Basics Tour from Total Life Changes is headed to Medellín, Colombia August 24-25, 2018. The B2B Tour has grown in popularity, attracting the interest of hundreds of guests to its impactful weight loss products and family of IBOs over the past eight months.
The approach to this year’s tour was to reward current TLC IBOs for registering guests to the host city, having them sit down for a short 30-minute presentation, and asking them to stay at the event absolutely free of charge.
This was a remarkable formula for success. Many current IBOs acquired new clients and business partners as a result of attending one of the events. The B2B Tour has already visited six U.S. cities and Nice, France. The momentum has carried the company to its best spring/summer revenue to date and now it’s time to take this event to Latin America.
Founder and CEO, Jack Fallon sums up this year’s series of events:

From Coffee To Tea: Dal Woo Lee’s Journey To TLC Global Director
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
In a globalized economy, the differences between the lives of those in industrialized nations now have more similarities than differences. The story of Dal Woo Lee will no doubt be familiar to just about anyone who’s reaching retirement age with plenty of unresolved worries about money.
A resident of Daegu, South Korea, the 52-year-old Lee had spent many busy years in the coffee distribution business, making enough to provide for his wife and daughters, but never enjoying the stability to really save for the future.
“Korea is a fiercely competitive society,” Lee says, “I felt that I had a lot left to do, and not very much time left in which to do it.”
Lee says things began to change in November 2016, when he met his eventual TLC sponsor, Global Director Kang Jin Ha. “When she talked about TLC’s detox tea and the success the brand has had recently in my country, I could feel my heart grow so excited.”
With his decades of experience in the coffee distribution business, Lee understood the challenges (both financial and time-wise) of founding and general managing a conventional startup company. But network marketing was an avenue which had never previously occurred to him, and obviated many

All of this is true for Total Life Changes (TLC’s) Back to Basics (B2B) International Tour, but TLC’s founder and CEO, Jack Fallon has implemented several more powerful segments to a traditional direct selling run of show.
Jack’s vision has led to an ongoing weight loss contest from event-to-event where three winners are secretly selected. Each of the winners receive roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, a professional makeover, and additional prizes awarded live during each event.
Jack explains the impact of these contests:
“These weight loss contests have become the focal point of our B2B tour. I just felt like we could generate so much anticipation with a secret reveal of the three winners from event-to-event.

An Ecuadorian-American Dream: TLC National Director Jorge Rodas
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
After 13 years in the United States, Ecuadorian immigrant Jorge Rodas still doesn’t have perfect English. Making it in America has been a challenge, as it’s been for so many new Americans. “I was an 11-year-old when I moved to New York City with my parents,” Rodas says. “At the beginning looking for the American Dream was very hard. Language barrier, no friends, everything was new for me.”
Rodas was forced to work at an early age to help the family make ends meet, a hard-way education he thanks his father for. But working at a restaurant earning $400 per week wasn’t enough to finance his college education as an architect. At 23, he was ready to take a chance on striking his own path as an entrepreneur. That’s when the Total Life Changes opportunity presented itself.
“I learned about TLC and how it works through a conference call with Ambassador Ana Cantera,” Rodas recalls. “Looking at her results and seeing everything she was doing in the Spanish-speaking community was why I said Yes to Total Life Changes. I knew by instinct that having the right leadership is key in network marketing.”
Although he had never made much more than the minimum wage,

New TLC National Director Erika Delgado Is A Mom Who Has It All
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
In her previous job, Erika Delgado worked as a secretary for the Colombian army, earning the equivalent of 400 dollars US per month. Balancing long hours at work and raising two young children was difficult, and she found herself turning into a ‘weekend mom.’
“I left my house in the morning before my kids had woken up, and I arrived late at night when they’d just fallen asleep,” Erika recalls. “I only really saw them on Saturdays, and that tore at me.” Complicating matters, the Bogota-born and raised Delgado had also recently been transferred by the army to the small city of Yopal.
Delgado knew that staying healthy was the only way she could keep up with these challenges. She’d begun using TLC products on a friend’s recommendation, and was thrilled by how they made her feel. She began to investigate the business model behind TLC, learning that the company had an office in Colombia.
Alongside her husband, she attended a weekly meeting and fell in love with TLC’s compensation plan. She felt inspired and contacted TLC Ambassador , Ana Cantera, who redirected her to her current sponsor, National Director Cristian Prada.

New TLC Global Directors José Gregorio And Jahnna Hernández – A Dominican Success Story
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
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.
