Serene's 2007 Mid Year Business Recap

The first half of the Year 2007 really filled me with challenges.

I have extended my part-time employment into Year 2007 because my mother who is children’s primary caretaker was facing some challenges in her health. In Nov 2006, she had to undergo a surgery to remove her entire thyroid gland as she was down with Multi-nodular Goitre. The lab analysis after the surgery revealed that one of the nodules was cancerous at the early stage and hence was not invasive. I am really thankful that the cancerous nodule was detected early. Because of this early detection, she was saved from all the chemo or radiation theraphy treatment. I believed the supplement products , which she started consuming 2 years back, had in a way helped to curb the cancerous cell from spreading and I am really thankful for this.

In view of the fact that she had a recent operation, I did not want to impose too much stress by leaving care of my kids entirely to her so I opted to carry on my part-time employment into 2007. Deep down in my heart, I was also hoping that I could use the time when I stayed at home to develop my pipeline business, so that it could free me from going back to full time after this. However, subsequent event just do not develop according to one’s wish.

While I was making plans to run for my directorship in my business in April, my mum was caught with acute pain at her right abdomen area. What we expected as appendicitis turned out to be a colon infection. She got half of her colon removed as one part of it was very inflamed. The surgeon had to remove the infected portion to prevent the spread to the rest of the colon. As a result, my mum went through this second major operation 6 months after her last one on her neck.

After the operation, she was very weak as she had two big cuts at her abdomen area. For the time being, she is not supposed to carry heavy weights. Lab test had showed that the infected colon contained some small nodules but they were found to be benign and the family is really relieved for that outcome. According to the doctor in subsequent follow up appointment, my mother’s colon got infected due to prolonged constipation she suffered since her 30s.

In the past, she always had to depend on medication to clear her bowel whenever she encountered constipation. However, when I started her on the supplements from my business, her condition improved tremendously. She was able to clear her bowel daily without much difficulty. However, I guess the damage to her colon was long there before she started on this supplementation, so it was just impossible to reverse the damage that has been done. Anyway, the doctor had told us to ensure that her bowel is frequent otherwise she may risk losing the other half as well. So she is faithfully taking all the products I gave her.

Though I took a break from my business for a while, I was happy that it is still bringing me some residual income while I was tending to my family. All this was possible because I had laid the foundation earlier. In fact, this is the most attractive part of this business. Even if you have to take a temporary break, the other business partners who have come into business because of you are still growing their business. In a way, they helped you secured this stream of income. All this would not have been possible if you hadn’t imparted them the necessary knowledge to ensure that they can work independently when you are not around. This is a real pipeline business and I am really thankful to be able to find such a wonderful opportunity.
