2009 Message from CEO, Ginny Dye

From the Update for My Power Mall - January 2, 2009!

"The Choices You Make Today
Will Determine The Rest of Your Life!"

Hello MPM Members,

Happy New Year!! Whether you celebrated Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, or anything else, I hope you have had a restful, fun, loving, and rejuvenating couple of weeks. I know the team here at TWCCTW, Inc. were ready to back off and take some much needed time to rest, reflect and be ready for 2009. Everybody worked to some degree but we also had some time off.

I, for one, am excited and ready to blast into a New Year! But before I do, I would like to take a look back...

We started 2008 with 100,000 members. Today, we've had over 149,000 people join the My Power Mall family. I could talk about the technological advancements, all the new systems, the new tools we provided, or the new programs we created. I'm definitely proud of them but that's not where I want to put my focus for today's Update.

My Power Mall was born on the back of 4 white paper placemats over 2 years ago because I was searching for a way to make more money in order to fulfill the true purpose of this company - to make a difference in the world. As I looked back at 2008 the last couple weeks, it was those things that made my heart sing.

1) In April of 2008 we seeded a large sum of money to bring 20 Ugandan AIDS orphans here to the U.S. to perform as the SIFA Choir. They danced and sang their way through 20+ states and took back a huge sum of money to build a new school and orphanage. Along the way, 100's of My Power Mall members stepped up to set up concerts, host them in their homes, entertain them, donate money, and attend concerts. They stepped up to sponsor every one of the 20 children, ensuring they will have a quality education and excellent care back in Uganda. All of them are now attending a private boarding school and receiving the education they will need to live the dreams they have for their lives.

Money is still coming in - donations from My Power Mall members who have not forgotten the children who stole all our hears. The Ugandan government is giving 20 acres of land for the new school that is going up to help more of the 2.5 million orphans in that struggling company.
All because of YOU. The money to bring them here came from member shopping. The ability to keep them here and have housing came from YOU. So much of the money accumulated came from YOU. Each one of you making a purchase on the Mall continue to support the children who are now a part of our company forever.

2) Because of the generous, loving hearts of Bill Rodman, Mark Shephard, Rilee O'Neill, the wonderful people of First Image Productions, the SIFA Choir, and others, a song was birthed into the world that has impacted so many people's lives. The Together We Can Change The World song and video has exploded into the world - inspiring and empowering so many people to make a difference with their lives.

Just one example came from a teacher and group of students... I got a letter from the teacher sometime in the Fall, explaining that her students had fallen in love with the song but that many of them did not have computers at home or a way to download it. This wonderful teacher collected the $1.50 per song from her students (a total of 87.00), and then made CD's for all of them with the song on it. She wrote me, asking where she could send the check.
I wrote her back and asked her to do something different... Have those same students take the $87.00, seed it into a way to make more money, and then give that money to an organization of their choice. An email came back weeks later, letting me know how thrilled the students had been to be entrusted with the money. They had a fundraiser, raised $400+, and donated it to their local homeless shelter. They were so excited to know THEY could make a difference with their lives.

This kind of story is being played out all over the world because of this song - only in existence because of My Power Mall members!

3) We have thousands of Non-Profits who have become My Power Mall members - using our system to create sustainable income.

4) We have had close to 1000 My Power Mall members set up their own Foundations, or Together We Can Change The World Foundations, and then build their business beneath them - making sure their efforts will be multiplied into a difference in the world as they also provide for their own financial freedom.

My Power Mall is so different from any other "business" out there. We are in existence to MAKE A DIFFERENCE, and we are attracting people with the same heart and passion. People are pouring into this company who are so excited to have found a way to provide for their own needs WHILE they make a difference - whether through supporting their own Non-Profit, seeding it through a Foundation Mall, or simply knowing their shopping is supporting children all over the world.

When I look back at 2008, these will always be the things that shine brightly in my memory. All the other work was done simply to support these kinds of events and "giving opportunities". As we move forward into 2009, these will be the things that continue to motivate me and energize me. You can be sure the entire TWCCTW, Inc. team feels the same way.
So what is ahead for 2009??

1 - Next Tuesday, January 6th, we will launch a brand new Business Site with a new look and new presentations. I consulted closely with industry experts and then made the home page much simpler, and the presentation videos much shorter. We also have one exclusively for International members - created after consultation with several of our International members.
2 - Tuesday, January 6th, will also be the release of a new benefit for any 501C3 registered non-profit organization, house of worship, or school in the world. They will now receive a World Changer Mall for FREE. Since My Power Mall was created to give us more of an ability to give to organizations making a difference in the world, we've decided to just give them the Mall that will best create income for them.

This is ONLY available to 501C3 registered non-profit organizations, houses of worship, or schools. It will not apply to Foundations you may want to set up. We will be verifying each NPO membership.

In addition to being a good thing for organizations, it will be a very powerful tool for you as you build. You can now offer the World Changer Mall to any NPO, and then offer to help them build.

3 - I have special 90 second to 3-minute marketing videos in production that will be able to be customized with your MPM Biz site. Once they are done, you will be able to use them to market to people you know, post on Social Networking sites, or anything else we will be able to direct you to.

4 - We are creating a special program where you will be able to purchase leads we generate ourselves - exclusive to MPM.

5 - We will be doing a lot of corporate marketing that will give even more exposure to the company and allow us to thoroughly test any marketing ideas that will be powerful for you to use.

There are a lot of "behind the scene" systems work that is always happening but our primary focus for the months ahead is GROWTH.

GROWTH in membership.

GROWTH in online shopping.

GROWTH in American Express card purchases.

GROWTH in our ability to MAKE A DIFFERENCE - first in your life, and then throughout the world!

2009 is going to be the best year yet in My Power Mall history. I can easily predict that for the entire company, but only you can predict that for your business. So what's it going to be for you?

Will 2009 be your best year?

The quote at the top of the Update says it all -
The choices you make today will determine the rest of your life.
What choices will you make today about your business?
What choices will you make tomorrow?
The choices will dictate the results at the end of each day!
