Message from Gordon Owens, MPM Executive Director, Reflections on MPM's 2nd Birthday



I can’t believe it. Our baby, My Power Mall,
is 2 years old. Where has the time gone?
Who knew our family would grow to over
150,000 in 220 countries all around the world?
Babies grow up fast don’t they?

While thinking back over the past year, I can’t help but draw some parallels with my youngest granddaughter, Kate, who’s now 9 months old. I’ve seen her grow and change almost daily. Just now Kate’s beginning to stand holding on to a coffee table or a chair. Soon she’ll be toddling, then walking, then running. As she does this, she’ll occasionally bump her head, or tip over. But she never quits. She gets back up and tries again and again and again until she masters her new skill. It’s really is a wonder to watch.

My Power Mall has been going through similar growth; always changing, we're trying to get better every day. Sometimes we bump our heads too, but we keep at it, never willing to stop or even slow down. Every new company, just like every new baby, goes through growing pains. MPM is no different. With the help and support of the MPM family - all you aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters and cousins out there - we’ll continue to grow, getting stronger, getting smarter, getting better in every way.

Happy Birthday My Power Mall. Let’s all make a wish and blow out a virtual candle in celebration of our second birthday together!

But what’s a birthday without a present or two?

I’ll let you in on a little secret - they’re coming. And they’re what many of you have asked for. What do I mean? Over the past couple weeks lots of MPM members have responded to the survey we sent out. We’re treating your comments and suggestions as wishes. It will take us some time to assimilate all your ideas. We’ve taken each and every one to heart, leading us to take a critical look at our business model as well as our web site. Just like you, we want to make My Power Mall an irresistible shopping experience and a business we can all be proud to represent. Our belief, like the belief of many of you, is if My Power Mall makes shopping "so easy even a Caveman can do it," it will help you not only shop and earn rebates for yourself, but also help to build your business. We’ve not only heard you, but we’ve listened when you said some changes in our business/communication model is in order too. We agree.

We’re currently in the process of reviewing all our options. You can expect to find a new, cleaner, faster, easier-to-shop web site. This will take time so I can’t promise you a certain date at this point. I can promise you it will happen. You can also expect to see changes in how we communicate with our members, both new and old. Although we have a vast variety of memberships all over the world with differing technical abilities and shopping needs we’ll make every effort to give you the best shopping and business experience we can. All of this to help you to make a difference in your own life and the lives of others all over the world.

Join us in wishing My Power Mall a Happy Birthday. We’re all in this together - and together we can change the world.

Gordon
Executive Director
Together We Can Change The World, Inc.
