“Hello everyone. This is Tom Mower Jr., CEO of Sisel International. Today, I want to take a few moments to reflect on the news we received about the closing of Modere after 23 years in the business. I was as shocked as many of you were to hear about the decision they made to close their doors.
Many of you know the history of Modere, going back to the origins of the company as Neways and before that, Images. These companies were founded by my father, Tom Mower Sr., and myself. Now, to reflect on the history of the company back to Neways’ days, Tom Sr. had a mission in mind—the Mower mission—and that started with our family. We were heavily involved in the industrial chemical business and we realized that many of the ingredients in industrial chemicals were also used in personal care products. And so we started formulating products for our family, then our friends, associates, and people were coming to us to develop products for their companies. But we thought we could do it better, and that was by getting involved with network marketing, where we could tell the story of dynamic products.
A whole revolution began at that point, and we realised that to pay the best commission and to be able to put the most money into a product, we had to control it from the concept to the research to the final consumer. And we achieved that. And now, thousands, if not millions, of people around the world have received the benefit of the Mower mission. The company names may change, but the mission always stayed the same because people want clean, safe products. And they want us to control this concept through manufacturing, not what you find on the store shelf.
I still know many Modere employees, leaders, and distributors. I call them my friends. Many of you have reached out to me over the last several days. First, I admire your commitment. One of the founding principles of this industry is to pick a vehicle—a company—and stick with it. Don’t let speed bumps become obstacles that deter you from your success. Think about what first sparked your passion for network marketing. For many of us, it was the dream of freedom: time freedom, financial freedom, getting our health back, and the chance to truly help others. The energy, the community, the belief in the possibility—that’s what drew us in. And most of all, the idea that ordinary people can create extraordinary lives.
I’m saddened to see Modere close, but I know that with any change, new opportunities will blossom that will give you growth. It will develop you as a person and give you the adventure that will come to each and every one of you as you continue on this path. I wish each of you the very best as you continue your journey.” Tom Mower Jr – Sisel CEO, Co Founder and Chief Scientist, 2 time Genius Award Winner for Product Formulations.
