The Total Life Changes (TLC) compensation plan outlines the various ways Independent Business Owners (IBOs) can earn commissions, including retail profits, fast start bonuses, binary pay, and lifestyle bonuses. Commissions depend on actual sales results and IBO performance, with income varying based on personal sales efforts and qualifications. The plan emphasizes that there are no guarantees of income or success, and all IBOs must meet specific volume requirements to qualify for earnings.
