No Magic Formula Imagine a world with no ATM Machines, no passbook savings, no car or home-improvement loans, or no installment-plan credit. Hard to do, isn't it? Well, you owe a huge thanks to one man who refused to be told it couldn't be done. You want to know how to create success in your life? Here's a "secret". If you have a strong vision, and a will to overcome whatever obstacles get in your way, you can accomplish anything. Just ask Amadeo Peter Giannini (A.P.). A.P. certainly had his share of obstacles. When he was only 7, his father died in a fight over one dollar. Things were hard for him and his mother. She remarried a man who went into the produce business. A.P., at age 14, quit school to work with him. By 19 he was a partner in the thriving enterprise, built largely on his reputation for integrity and honesty. At 31 years of age, he had all the money he needed or wanted, and announced his retirement. One year later, his real career bagan. At 32, A.P. was asked to join the board of the Columbus Savings & Loan society, a modest bank in the Italian section of town. It wasn't long before A.P found himself at odds with the other directors. A.P. wanted the bank to loan money to hard-working immigrants but, at that time, banks were in business only for business men and the wealthy. His ideas of loaning money to the working class were scoffed at. No problem. A.P. had a vision and he was determined to make it reality. He raised $150,000 from family and friends bought a converted saloon right across the street from the Columbus S&L, kept the bartender on as an assistant teller and opened the Bank of Italy. In those days it wasn't considered proper to solicit banking business. He ignored the "proper way" and began ringing doorbells and talking to everyone he could about what a bank did. He advertised. He kept the bank open longer hours and on weekends to fit into working people's schedules. Business boomed. A.P. believed in making other people's dreams come true. He helped the California Wine Industry get started. He bankrolled Hollywood when they were trying to make movies popular. When Walt Disney ran $2 million dollars over budget on Snow White, he stepped in with a loan. A.P. believed integrity and "giving back" were the formulas for success. What began in 1904 as the Bank of Italy transformed into the Bank of America - now the world's largest bank. What about A.P.? Did he die a billionaire? When he passed away at age 79, his estate was worth less than $500,000. It was purely by choice. He disdained great wealth, believing it would make him lose touch with the people he wanted to serve. He worked for no pay for years. A surprise $1.5 million bonus one year was promptly given to the University of California. It was far more important for him to give and make a difference. All of us have that ability and opportunity. As you strive for success, remember you can use it to make a difference in the world. A.P. strove to make a difference every day of his life. Follow your own formula for success, then look for ways to give back to the world that has given you so much. There are always ways. They are out there waiting for you to find them! And, just like A.P., you can pretty much count on the fact you will face numerous problems and obstacles. Your success will come as you overcome each one - one at a time. There is no magic formula - unless you are wise enough to recognize vision, passion, determination and hard work as a magic formula! Make it a successful day! ...read more

My Power Mall
Let me start with a basic principle: Everyone wants to make their life better. Ask people what better means and they will tell you different things, but everyone agrees they want their life to be better. The question is how to make it better! Well, most people will tell you they need more mon.ey to make their life better. Just how much is different for each person, but most will agree they just need more. So what keeps them from making more money? Well, they will tell you they do not have the money to start making money. They do not have the skills to make money. They do not know how to sell anything and, besides, they hate selling. And, they do not have the time to make m.oney. They probably also do not believe they can make more money. They have tried before and failed. Maybe they have tried a lot of times and still failed. They just do not have it in them to try again. Ginny Dye, the founder of My Power Mall, spent many years in the Network Marketing or Multi-level Marketing Industry. She was a leader and trainer in her company. Anyone would have called her a success but she walked away from all of it 5 years ago. Why? Because she was tired of watching so many wonderful people try and fail. Do you know that only 3% of people in MLM actually succeed? That means 97% of them FAIL. She simply could no longer introduce people to something and ask them for money, commitment and time; only to watch them fail, drop out and end up discouraged and disillusioned. She walked away and never looked back. During the last 5 years she has worked with a team of 60 amazing people, investing a half million dollars of cash and time, to create a simple system that EVERYONE can succeed with. It is not your typical MLM. It is not a typical Affiliate Program. Frankly, it is not a typical anything! It is simply a brand new concept that will allow the 97% of people who have failed before to finally succeed! Presenting.... MY POWER MALL! - MY POWER MALL really is FREE. There is no cost to you.
