The MPM Motto is simple: Harnessing the Power of EVERYDAY Spending to Change Lives!

The idea for MPM came during a massive 90 mph windstorm in Bellingham, WA in November of 2006. Holed up in a restaurant until the wind died down, Ginny Dye, our Founder & CEO, sketched out a new way to utilize the $500,000 computer system she and a team of 60 dedicated people have been developing and utilizing for almost five years. Her new plan filled the back of 4 paper placemats before she was done!

When she was done writing, she stared down at the sheets of paper and realized she was looking at a way to harness the power of online spending to change the lives of average Americans looking for financial freedom. She knew that 97% of people who try to find financial freedom through a home-based business fail. MY POWER MALL would be different! There were certain “Givens.”

It had to be FREE so every person who wanted to change their lives would have a chance.
It had to be simple.
It had to take away all the “business games” that kept most people from succeeding in a home-based business.
MPM is totally committed to changing the world. 6% of all corporate profits go into the One-Child-At-A-Time program helping needy children all over the country.


But that is just the beginning.

Our program will be used to help raise funds for Non-profit organizations, schools and churches all over America.
We are also proud to be partnered with Together We Can Change The World Day, a company committed to mobilizing millions to work in their communities the first Saturday of every month.
By becoming part of MY POWER MALL you are joining a much larger Family of people committed to making a difference in the world. Your achieving financial freedom excites us because we know we are helping to change your life! We hope that as you gain financial freedom you will find your own ways to give back!

This section introduces you to the Management Team within MY POWER MALL, but there are 50 more amazing people who are responsible for creating and maintaining the leading-edge, $500,000 system that makes MPM possible.
