Aging brings with it serious physical and financial challenges. Little Rock, Arkansas couple Nina and Bill Francis know a little about both. As they approached their 60s, they found themselves bankrupt and facing few prospects of success in their multi-level marketing business. Worse, Nina had recently lost an older sister to cancer and an older brother to a stroke. With her mind on ways to improve their financial outlook while maintaining her health, she was primed for the opportunity Total Life Changes presented.
“We had been in another network marketing company a number of years ago with Phillip T. Birchfield,” Nina recalls. “While we did not personally know each other at the time, I really gravitated to his unique way of connecting with people and his desire to help.” Nina had lost her main job thanks to the recession, and they were also feeling the sales sting in their MLM business. In the interim, Phillip had already become a Regional Director with TLC, and was well on his way to the Global Director rank he holds today.
“I’d spoken with Phillip a few times about TLC, and he’d been checking in with me over a period of five months, asking me to

Cooking Up Something New: Ecuadorian Chefs Earn $15,000 USD Per Month With Total Life Changes
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Becoming a professional chef takes passion, discipline, hard work and good taste. It’s a calling as much as a career, but sometimes life gets in the way of pursuing your dreams. That was the situation for Fermín and Belen de Vera of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Unemployed due to the economic problems their country faced, the couple turned to Total Life Changes as a means of supplementing their modest income.
Though TLC was never intended to be their primary occupation, after the devastation wrought by the 2016 earthquake, Fermín and Belen doubled down on their commitment. Recently promoted to the rank of National Director, TLC has given the couple new dreams.
Fermín and Belen were amateurs in the network marketing industry. They had tried their hand with other companies in the past without earning a penny, but TLC seemed different. They followed TLC Global Director Ana Cantera on social media. Intrigued by TLC’s products, and the opportunities Ana wrote about, the de Veras reached out online and Cantera became their sponsor.
Sponsors play an important role in helping new Independent Business Owners (IBOs) establish themselves—for the de Veras, this relationship was complicated because Cantera wasn’t even in the same country. Little by little though, these

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

Total Life Changes’ COO John Licari Talks New Regulations On Direct Marketers
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Total Life Changes’ Chief Operating Officer John Licari was recently featured in Direct Selling News magazine’s cover story on the ways recent regulatory changes are forcing direct marketers to reexamine how they define customers versus distributors.
The Direct Selling News story interviews senior executives from some of the biggest companies in the sector to gauge their responses to the Federal Trade Commission’s move to censure network marketing giant Herbalife.
Herbalife lost over $200 million in distributor refunds when it was revealed the company could not prove what percentage of its product sales, if any, actually reached customers outside of its own network of distributors—in effect, the company implicated as a pyramid scheme in the eyes of the government.
A subsequent FTC ruling stated that 80% of Herbalife’s revenue must come from actual customers lest the company face further sanctions. While these regulations are specific to Herbalife, other companies have taken notice. This has forced companies like TLC to ensure that they have greater clarity about who their customers are, versus who their distributors are.
Licari considers this an opportunity for direct sellers to refocus on end user satisfaction. “If you lead with the product, you have a chance to make a business out of

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.”

“TLC found me,” Dipuo Nasoro answers when asked how she discovered Total Life Changes (TLC). “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”
Dipuo, a native South African, and her husband Moses, a Malawian, were raising a young son, and she was in need of work that would allow her to be a stay-at-home mom without worrying about money. When her sister-in-law Jean introduced the TLC opportunity to the couple, Dipuo felt as if the last puzzle piece had fallen into place. As for Moses, an accomplished networker, he immediately saw TLC’s moneymaking potential.
After just 19 days in business, the couple reached the rank of Director. “Once we decided to become IBOs (Independent Business Operators), it was just a matter of putting in an effort,” says Moses. “We were confident, based on what we’d learned about how TLC’s compensation works, that it would pay dividends.” Bootstrapping a new IBO always requires a few sleepless nights, but Moses and Dipuo were driven by a powerful Why.
“Even though we’ve only been with TLC since January of this year, we see it as an opportunity to help our country as a whole,” says Dipuo.

National Director José Gregorio Brings Total Life Changes Opportunity To Dominican Republic
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Any job that requires strong self-motivation to achieve success, from tree-planting to multi-level marketing, requires an equally strong “why” to fuel that self-motivation.
It’s one of the first questions many Total Life Changes sponsors ask their new signees: why do you want to achieve success; why are you willing to put in more work than the average person to succeed.
For recent National Director José Gregorio that why can be traced back to his upbringing in the province of San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic. One of the poorest and most crime-ridden provinces in the Dominican Republic, José sees in his own success a way forward for the people of San Cristóbal.
“I’ve had a number of different businesses over the years, and I’ve developed the majority of them here,” says José. “I am loyal to this place. With Total Life Changes, I’ve been able to become a pioneer in this region, and I can see the changes it has made in the lives of hundreds of my team members. The reason that TLC attracts so many true entrepreneurs is the fact that the compensation plan is flexible enough to allow you to earn based on your effort. You can be a network developer, a
