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

Khanya Cakata Represents Total Life Changes’ Exponential Growth In South Africa
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Though the Total Life Changes business model and product line originates in the United States, its success has quickly spread around the world thanks to the hard work of entrepreneurs like Khanya Cakata.
A native of Butterworth, South Africa, and current resident of Johannesburg, Khanya was among the first Independent Business Owners in his country to sign with TLC in November 2016. Within a few months, the TLC brand has shown astonishing growth, and thousands of South Africans have been rapidly ascending in the company rankings.
“I’ve known the man who would become my Sponsor, Matthew Harris, since we were children, and we’d always remained in touch through social media,” says Khanya.
“I was in Thailand on holiday when he called me to see if I wanted in on the ground floor with TLC in South Africa. Obviously, you know my answer.”
Khanya describes his first 48 hours with TLC as a “blur.” Though he contacted over 90 people, only three or four granted him home meetings, and a mere nine signed up with him. As anyone with multi-level marketing experience can tell you, handling 81 rejections is not fun, but Khanya recognized that to succeed he would have to turn that pain into

Latin Conquest: Christian Camilo Prada’s Total Life Changes Success Story
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Total Life Changes encourages its operators to dream big. Even by our high standards, Christian Camilo Prada’s vision is grand: “My goal is ‘Latin conquest,’” he says, joking only slightly. “I want to help 1,000 Latin families get where I am now.”
Where Christian is now is earning an estimated $10,000 – $20,000 USD per month as a TLC .
But his life was once very different. Born and raised in Bucaramanga, Colombia, where he still resides, Christian has had an amazing journey with TLC.
“When I was introduced to Total Life Changes in 2015, I was working as a fruit harvester in the city of Caravaca de la Cruz, Spain,” Christian recalls. “All of my income went towards supporting my little family back in Colombia.”
Christian had experimented with network marketing before, where he’d befriended Ana Cantera (now a Global Marketing Director with TLC), but had found little personal success. Ana hadn’t yet enrolled in TLC herself when she presented him with the opportunity to join her.
Having been impressed with her past achievements, and trusting his friend, Christian waited the few days for Ana to formally join so that he could come aboard as part of her team at TLC. At the time,

Health and Prosperity: Mark and LaQuadia Smith’s Total Life Changes Experience
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Network marketing success is about more than skill or charm: top sellers must have a compelling why that pushes them to higher achievement. For Mark Smith, that why was his wife, LaQuadia.
When the couple joined TLC in 2014, LaQuadia was working for the State of North Carolina, but Mark believed she had so much more potential than her job had allowed her to show—and that she needed something to distract her from her pain.
LaQuadia was born with sickle-cell disease, a blood disorder which had her taking four to six Motrins per day to manage. Doctors had told her to prepare herself for a hip replacement within the next year. After drinking the Iaso Tea for three short weeks, she noticed a clear improvement in her pain. She was even able to cancel her scheduled surgery. “Iaso, NutraBurst and Gano changed my life,” she says.
Now Mark and LaQuadia are TLC National Marketing Directors, with a reported monthly income of $10,000. They’ll soon be moving with their two children from a townhouse to the new home they’re building together. The couple couldn’t be more grateful to their sponsors, Executive Ambassadors Gregg and Lenika Scott.
“I have been following Lenika since 2008,” says LaQuadia.

Free Of Pain: TLC National Marketing Director Tari Spear Shares Her Story
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
When Orlando, Florida’s Tari Spear joined Total Life Changes in 2014, she was coming off of two very difficult years.
“My mother was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer in February of 2013 and died in February of 2014,” Tari recalls.
“During that time, I had become her caretaker and took on the responsibility of making her medical decisions. After her death, I gained a considerable amount of weight, and my own preexisting conditions began to worsen.”
Tari was a lifelong sufferer of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and endured severe constipation. Over the years, she’d also been diagnosed with depression, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), osteoarthritis, Graves’ disease, severe anemia and a host of other unpleasant medical conditions. She was willing to try anything.
“Once I consumed my first 8 ounces of Iaso® Tea, I experienced immediate relief,” Tari says. “I continued to drink 30 ounces of Iaso® Tea each and every day, along with the amazing NutraBurst®, and was able to lose 24 pounds in 30 days.”
Having purchased a few packets of tea from a TLC marketer and experienced such dramatic results, she began to take an interest in the business opportunity the company presented. She received a recommendation to seek the advice

Phillip Birchfield Makes TLC Global Director Rank In Just Three Years
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
“Who would have ever thought you could make $50,000 in one month, and realize that the best is yet to come?” asks Phillip Birchfield, a Global Marketing Director with Total Life Changes.
“In 2015, I gave $1,000 dollars to the local Boys and Girls Club. In 2016, I gave them $5,000. I know I will be able to give $10,000 this year. I long for the day I can give $100,000.”
A resident of Fort Wayne, Indiana, Phillip is the embodiment of the Total Life Changes model for success. Having joined the company in May of 2014, he made $100,000 in income in his first year and now leads a team of thousands of marketers. Like many of TLC’s top earners, this is not his first experience in the network marketing field.
In fact, Phillip had spent more than 20 years with various companies, painstakingly building hundred-strong teams and committing himself entirely to their business models. And yet, he was never able to get over the hump with any of these companies. “As hard as I worked in network marketing, I never built any residual wealth,” Phillip says.

Network Marketing Helps Mother Of Twins Mélaine Bernard Triple Her Income
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
When Mélaine Bernard discovered network marketing four years ago, she saw an opportunity to change her life. By being her own boss and setting her own hours while selling genuinely high quality products, she found a way to balance her income needs with having time to pursue personal goals and interests.
Mélaine regards the daily challenges presented by marketing Total Life Changes products as growth opportunities, each one bringing her closer to maximizing her potential.
Of course, Mélaine’s situation was plenty challenging already. When she started out in network marketing, she had just learned she was pregnant with twins. Due to potential complications, Mélaine’s doctor forbade her to work while pregnant.
Her company didn’t pay her salary during her leave, placing her in a very difficult financial situation. There was a real risk she would lose everything.
“Becoming involved in network marketing was the best decision of my life,” she says. “I have been able to raise my children while being paid to help people.”
Within a few months, with a lot of work and determination, Mélaine had tripled the salary that she was earning as an employee. “I decided to ‘lay off my boss’ and live only off of network marketing,” she says.

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.
After being approached by another business, Felicia reached out to fellow future TLC

John “Blaze” Chatman Reaches National Director Rank With Total Life Changes
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
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.”
