Synopsis

Fun is not what most people think of when they hear the words "diet" or "budget."  Most likely, your first reaction is "I am hungry and I want to go shopping."  Diets and budgets are associated with a restrictive lifestyle, making success difficult or impossible to achieve.  How do you feel about your body, your eating, and your money?  If you are like most people, your body image is poor, your food choices could use improvement, and the topic of money causes stress.  

There are diet, exercise, and investing books with promises of miracles. You have been inundated with so much information on diets and finances, it can be confusing to know which is best for you.  You are promised the quick fix, and then, after you find it doesn’t exist, you may get depressed, confused, and frustrated.  You may even get overwhelmed and decide to do nothing. 

Your Body is Your Business and YOU are the CEO.  It is the job of a lifetime and there are many choices available to you. BOD-Ē-NOMICS shows you how to take ownership of your body.  As the leader of your body company, your job is to gather outside information, and apply the useful knowledge to your company to achieve efficiency and maximize your profits.  Those profits can be distributed, spent, saved, or invested.  You know your body company is different and has unique needs and wants. As the CEO of your life, you learn to discern the best course of action to take.  You are encouraged to discover what works best for your body company.
You have been called to an emergency board meeting.  The fact is, society is at a crisis point with sickness, overeating, and overspending.  Diets keep failing, credit cards remain maxed out, and you need answers that make sense. What is the next step?  You realize there are costs involved; what else are you paying for?  How is your work environment?  Company morale?  Customer service? What are you fueling your body with? What small changes can be made?

BOD-Ē-NOMICS, is a lifestyle based on fun, health, and debt-free living.  

BOD-Ē-NOMICS: Your Body is Your Business and YOU are the CEO explains how your body is influenced by what you think, eat, and spend your money on.  You will learn how to use your new knowledge about your body, eating and money to make simple changes that will fit seamlessly into your current lifestyle.
Companies are much like you and your body.  When created, the people behind companies crave overnight success or expect a quick fix when something goes wrong.  History, however,  shows that transformation takes time.  Most new companies don't make a profit for years.  Fortunately,  your body and your money are more forgiving.  You can start new plans and habits, no matter what stage your "company" is in. Once you learn how your body runs most efficiently, you make better decisions concerning its daily operations and future investments.  You realize that running a successful body company requires planning, commitment to your goals, persistence, and passion.

What influences you?  From birth, it is the world around you, your family, your friends, advertising, mass media, social media, and the internet.  These influences affect every decision and choice you make.  You get the courage to make a decision, and there might be someone there to challenge it, then you doubt yourself.  The point is that you made a decision.  If it was the right decision . . . good for you.  Stand up for yourself.  If it was the wrong decision . . . good for you. Learn from it and realize NOW is the time to correct it.

Improving your food choices and your financial plan will increase your quality of life.  Although being the CEO is a difficult job with many obstacles, you CAN do this.  You are in control of yourself.  In charge.  The Boss. One Person Corporation.  

BOD-Ē-NOMICS gives you tools to help you listen to your instincts - and we keep things simple.  You can use your tools in any eating or economic situation.  Remember, this journey is only about YOU. When you run your body like a profitable business, the result is a life of fun that's designed, implemented, and created by you.

BOD-Ē-NOMICS offers you an educational and entertaining approach to the way you think about YOUR body, YOUR eating and YOUR money.

Praise for BOD-Ē-NOMICS

"BOD-Ē-NOMICS is extremely valuable in today's 'go-go' world where most people rarely stop and self-reflect. I'm amazed at how many high achievers have business success, but at the same time they're often one-step from the ER room because they've taken their health for granted. This is a rare book that ties together the massive importance that good health and wealth should play in everyone's life. Thanks again to both Wendy and Viki for not only a timely book, but more importantly their wisdom and expertise to change lives for the better!" -- Tony Rubleski Best Selling Author of
Mind Capture series

“I enjoyed every minute and every word.  I have a lot of people that I want to buy copies for.  The way you write and use comparisons along the way is great.  You impart knowledge in a humorous way and one does not feel they are listening to a lecture.  What a wonderful book and great learning experience for all.”  Myrnalee Smith-Rosinsky, Florida
