Power Bite # 55 - An Inside Look At My Power Mall
Hello MPM Member,
We want to start out sharing A personal letter from our CEO, Ginny Dye:
I’ve been challenging you since Day 1 to make a difference with your business. Now I want to take a minute and share with you just why this company exists. And I also want to challenge you to take one step – before you start bringing people in – that would enable you to make a huge difference while you’re making so much money! Okay… First things first…
I started My Power Mall for two reasons. One was to use our systems to help people find financial freedom. That’s YOU. The other was to use the money generated to change the world! And, yes, I’m completely serious!
My Power Mall is just one division of Together We Can Change The World, Inc. A team of 60 people have been building this company since the Fall of 2002. Another division called Someone Believes In You! offers you a way to empower someone you care about, AND make a difference in the world – exactly what My Power Mall is all about! Together We Can Change the World Day mobilizes people all over the country to make a difference in their communities on the first Saturday of every month. Together We Can Change The World Publishing puts out a series of books with titles like 101 Ways You Can Change The World, 101 Ways to Support our Troops, 101 Ways Your Business Can Change the World, and many more.
The whole reason for this company is to harness the power of online spending to change the world – changing your life along the way. I’m telling you all this because as My Power Mall grows as a company I will be challenging all of you to use your life to make a difference – whether you want to give time or money.
I promise you that as a company we will be leading the way. We’ll be giving 6% of corporate profits to the One-Cause-At-A-Time program. But that will just be the beginning. Another 5% will be put into the Together We Can Change The World Foundation – becoming a source of funding for projects near and dear to our hearts. We also have hundreds of TWCCTW Foundation Malls with businesses growing beneath them - with 100% of the money going to make a difference in the world! Even more money will be allocated toward tremendous exposure for Together We Can Change The World Day. I truly am committed to mobilizing millions of people on the first Saturday of every month to work in their local communities.
200 BILLION DOLLARS was spent online in 2007. 2009 is on target to reach 300 BILLION! The Together We Can Change The World divisions are channeling large amounts of that back to where it can make a difference. I hope you’ll see that we are doing everything we can to fulfill our mission.
_____________________________________
We also want to address something very important in the beginning – Just who can be a part of MPM? The best way to answer this question is to share another letter from our CEO, Ginny Dye…
Who is My Power Mall for? As I watch the world spin around me I see so much division and separation. People are separated by beliefs, by politics, by race, by religion… This separation and division are the cause of most of the problems in our world today. People can’t work together to solve problems because they are too busy focusing on how they are different. It makes me very sad and I am determined that will not be a reality within My Power Mall and within my larger corporate structure, Together We Can Change The World, Inc.
So who is MPM for? It’s for EVERYONE! Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, New Age, Atheist, Agnostic… Black, White, Indian, Asian, Hispanic… Democratic, Republican, Independent, or the myriad of other political positions in the world… heterosexual or homosexual…single, married or divorced…
Someone asked me recently if MPM is a Christian company. “Do you want it to be?” I asked.
They looked confused and answered, “Well, yes.”
“Great,” I replied. “Then it is for you.”
They stared at me, dumbfounded. “What kind of an answer is that?”
“The only one you’re going to get,” I replied, grinning. “I’m not going to label my company. If someone wants it to be Buddhist, then it can be a Buddhist company for them. It can be whatever works for people. We’re here for everyone and I refuse to apply labels that will divide and separate, or keep people away because they are afraid they won’t fit.”
“But surely you have your own beliefs,” they persisted.
“Well, of course I do, but what difference does that make? They are my own personal beliefs that make me the person I am but all I care about is that people come from a place of love, caring, respect and integrity. I find that in every single race, religion, political party and belief system. I simply want to embrace PEOPLE – not separate myself by espousing my own beliefs.”
I could see they were starting to understand… “Look, all I care about is empowering people to change their lives, to fulfill their dreams, and to help them make a difference in the world. That’s really all that matters to me – what I’ve been called to do. Other people can fight for their beliefs or their political stance. I’m just doing what I’m supposed to do. That’s why My Power Mall is for everyone.”
“Okay, I get it,” they said slowly. “But do you have any limits?”
“Absolutely! I will not allow My Power Mall, or any other division of my company, to be used to fund terrorism, hate crimes or pornography. If I find evidence of that the Malls will be shut down that second.”
So there is my message to you all today. My Power Mall is for everyone. We are a world-wide family that encompasses and embraces everyone. Welcome to our Family!

If you want a deeper understanding of who we are, and what you have become a part of, then I invite you to listen to the first MPM Family Chat that was recorded on May 14, 2007. You’ll have a chance to meet 10 of the corporate officers who form the backbone of My Power Mall. (There are now 18 but they weren’t part of the Management Team when this recording was made.) Discover what they do and what drives them. We believe you’ll be amazed!
You can access all of our MPM Family Chats (teleconferences) in your back office under Training Materials >> Recordings.

Shopping Tip: Remember that stores are listed from the highest % or $ commission to the lowest by default. We realize you may have your favorite stores to shop in; but why not check out stores with higher commissions? If they have the same item, you can benefit even more. And remember 14 tiers. (You can change the order of the stores by clicking on the Store or Commission column names. Each time you click on them the order will change, i.e. from A-Z or Z-A, etc.)
Business Building Tip: Flyers, flyers, flyers -- keep them in your car, all your bags (or purses), even your kids' school bags because you never know when you'll need them. Hand them out, post them on bulletin boards at schools, supermarkets, hair & nail salons, restaurants, etc. (get permission first). (Latasha Modeste, New Jersey)
Change the World Tip: Be an Office Angel! Volunteer to help in the office in any way you're needed. Fold and stuff worship folders, work in the library, organize shelves and files, answer phones, dust, run errands, etc. (From our 101 Ways Your Church Can Change the World ebook)
"The long span of the bridge of your life is supported by countless cables called habits,
attitudes, and desires. What you do in life depends upon what you are and what you
want. What you get from life depends upon how much you want it -- how much you are
willing to work and plan and cooperate and use your resources. The long span of the
bridge of your life is supported by countless cables that you are spinning now, and that
is why today is such an important day. Make the cables strong!" ~L. G. Elliott
