You are looking at the picture of an amazing Banyan Tree. When I did more research into the Banyan Tree I discovered many fascinating things that have supported my thoughts during the past 10 days.
As I have pondered where My Power Mall is going in the months and years ahead, my thoughts and focus kept returning to our ROOTS. It was almost 3 years ago that I was sitting in a small Mexican restaurant, stranded by howling 80 mph winds that made driving impossible. As I ate my lunch I was pondering how to spread the message of Together We Can Change The World. I was pondering how to finance all the things the TWCCTW Founding Members dream of doing in the world. From those ponderings came the creation of My Power Mall.
We have given you everything you need to create financial freedom for yourself if you truly want it. We have created the most powerful mall on the Internet. We have tweaked and perfected a compensation plan that offers success to the average person. Person after person is amazed at the lengths we have gone to in order to provide you so many tools to build your business. I am constantly amazed at how many people don't pick them up and use them. :) However, I've realized I can't be responsible for your life. I can only be responsible for my life and for the direction and focus of My Power Mall & Together We Can Change The World.
It's really quite simple... My Power Mall only exists to spread the message, tools and gifts of Together We Can Change The World across the globe. Sadly, we have gotten away from some of that as we have totally absorbed ourselves in My Power Mall for the last 2 1/2 years. I don't regret it because it has created so many wonderful relationships, wonderful tools, and has developed such an amazing company. But now we have to swing the pendulum back to create balance.
My vision is to spread the free E-books from Together We Can Change The World Publishing to every country in the world - putting them into millions of people's hands.
My vision is to mobilize millions to be involved in Together We Can Change The World Day - putting into use the 1400 ideas we have created for them to use.
My vision is to explode Together We Can Change The World activities all over the globe - spreading our message that TOGETHER we really can CHANGE THE WORLD!
Take a good look at the Banyon Tree above. Are you looking at the tree or roots that have become so thick you can't distinguish between the two? I don't know. That's the magic of the Banyon Tree. There is one in Hawaii that has expanded so much from its roots that it covers 2/3's of an acre! ONE TREE!
Brian Aldiss, in his novel Hothouse, describes a future Earth where a single huge banyan covers half of the globe, because individual trees discover the ability to join together.
Can I repeat that? ...describes a future Earth where a single huge banyan covers half of the globe, because individual trees discover the ability to join together.
Isn't that what we're all about? Together We Can Change The World is all about helping individuals discover what a huge difference they can make if they will just choose to put aside their differences and join TOGETHER to make a difference!
As we move forward in the life of our company you can expect to be challenged more. You can expect to be asked if you made a difference with your life today. Do I want you to make money? YES! The more money you make, the more money we will have to fulfill our purpose. However, the season when 100% of our focus was on creating My Power Mall has ended. We will always continue to work to make it better. We will always be committed to keeping it the best company on the Internet. You have my word on that.
But the time has come to go back to our roots - to remember why we exist. It's time to come together and truly make a difference in the world - not just through our shopping but also through how we live our lives!
As always, we are leading the way...
- One month from today I will be in Portland, Maine for the first ever Together We Can Change The World Walk - created to support a local charity and spread the message of TWCCTW. It will just be the first - with every step of the process documented by our T-Day Director, Andrea Corbett, so each of you can duplicate her effort if you want to.
Who will join us in Portland? I would love to meet many of you, but mostly I would just love to Walk with you to make a DIFFERENCE!
- While I'm in Maine I will also be helping launch the first Together We Can Change The World Clubs in schools. Andrea is already creating a National Board of Teachers, Principals and Educators who are eager to help us move this forward. My vision? To see TWCCTW Clubs in every school in America - providing them with every tool they need to make a difference and then mobilizing them on T-Day to get involved in their communities.
- Andrea, who has really been on a roll :), has also been accepted at a local mall for 4 weeks in a row to hold a Bone Marrow Donor Drive. This one is especially near and dear to my heart. Many of you know that Suess Karlsson, one of the SBIY contributing writers, is also my best friend - a relationship spanning 30 years. What you may not know is that she has a form of lukemia that is currently in remission after aggressive chemotherapy, but is also a type of lukemia that is not curable - meaning the odds are that it will return. IF it does she will need to have a Bone Marrow transplant. She has discovered her only living sibling is not a match - meaning that she will have to find her match from a database of donors available. Countless people are waiting for that "magic person" to be found.
TWCCTW is going to hold MANY Bone Marrow Donor Drives across the country - utilizing the model prototype Andrea is working to create in Maine. How many of you would be willing to hold a Drive - make a difference, share TWCCTW, and also have a chance to share how MPM can finance more things like this just by people shopping?
- We will continue our One-Cause-At-A-Time Program; contributing 6% of company profits to designated children and causes.
- We will continue to reach out to every Non-Profit or charitable organization in the world - sharing our tools and resources - along with the message of My Power Mall to all those who want to use it.
- We will continue to educate parents on how to secure their children's future with a My Power Mall membership.
- Most importantly, we will continue to explore every way we can to make a difference in our World - touching and inspiring as many individuals as possible along the way!
