Dear all:

Fears of a global swine flu pandemic are growing with new infections in the United States, Mexico and now worldwide. Is swine flu ‘the big one’ or a flu that fizzles? All people are asking these questions and get concerned, including you all.

But don’t be afraid, all my colleagues in HandbagVIP.

Remember when 2003 SARS affected, all around the street, all people were warding mask, nobody dared go out, and the whole street are empty. The whole company of HandbagVIP are there at Canton Fair and with the foreign buyers who visit the fair, lower to be only 30% than past years. We were so cared and felt very depressed in the mind at the beginning.

The worse came later. I was isolated then due to fever and all the people around me in the company are scared, including me. I told myself that I was ready for any worst case. When I was in hospital I found some of the people like me died.

But finally SARS is cured and all our life go back to normal. This is due to decisive and effective action of the government. What I learned from this experience is that our social system has got enough experience in curing SARS, and we have experienced it one time so we know all will be ok by the medical treatment. Our business grows 300% after the Canton Fair, since lots of other factories & companies did not attend the show, due to the fear and lots of buyers turned to us as suppliers—some of their original suppliers went bankrupt after that actually.

Now, seems the situation happened again. We get not SARS but swine flu this time, and again HandbagVIP is now in Canton Fair. Let us be cool and calm, we are sure we can go through it. —At the least, according to the report, best thing about swine flu, is we know what virus it is, when in 2003 we did not even knew what SARS is.

Lastly let us remember: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

By now almost everyone has heard the news about the spread of Swine Flu. Parents are still wondering if it will reach the school their child attends. In some areas, there is a sense of worry bordering on panic.

In a field that helps people become home business entrepreneurs, there is opportunity to talk with many people in a wide range of careers. Up until today, you may have thought that the current economy was the major factor affecting income earned. It turns out that Swine Flu can also impact daily business. During a coaching session with a customer, I learned she is concerned her events business may suffer.

In a situation where business has slowed due to the economy, her local city government may cancel all local events where there will be large gatherings of people. An events coordinator develops and coordinates events like weddings, parties, community gatherings, city meetings and ceremonies. When a virus such as Swine Flu comes along, it could be spread easily at events such as these. Other businesses, campuses, factories and places where disease could be transferred easily might experience these types of shut downs.

During these times it is important to remember you can control what you and your family do to help prevent the spread of disease and germs. There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.

The Center for Disease Control recommends some basics:

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol based hand cleaners are also effective.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Avoid close contact with sick people.

Influenza is thought to spread mainly person to person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Staying home is not an option for some people and it can be risking their job if they do not go into work. Many people do not realize that everyone has the choice of working from home at some point. Some have to work towards that goal and be employed outside the home while building their own independent source of income at home in the evenings. Most agree it is a sacrifice well worth it when they achieve their goal of being at home full time.

As a home business coach and trainer, I work with a large amount of moms who either already stay home and earn income or whom are working towards the goal of replacing their outside income so they can stay home. My primary objective is to coach and work alongside these women helping them to achieve these goals so they can live a better life with their families. In my work, I have seen that both the stay at home mom and the work outside the home mom have much common ground. They want the best life they can give their children. Overall, both groups of moms have the same concerns about their kid’s overall wellbeing in child care settings like daycare, the child care at the gym or Sunday school class. I enjoy working with these mothers to help them find solutions and bring them closer to their goals of being financially independent from the comfort of their own home.
