The Making Of A Publishing Legend with Judy Piatkus

Aired Thursday, June 24, 2021 at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM EST

There’s a piece of advice that’s often shared today, particularly in the new thought/awakening conscious arena, which is “follow your passion, believe in yourself, and the success and the money will follow.” If there were a competition for a poster child for that approach to life and living, there’s little doubt that Judy Piatkus would rank highly among the contestants.

Judy Piatkus is a publishing legend. In 1979, she founded what would become a global publishing brand— Piatkus Books —from her spare bedroom. A single-mother with a child with learning disabilities at a time when being a self-made woman entrepreneur was rare, Judy defied expectations, influencing, shaping, and giving rise to the cultural and professional perception of personal growth and development publishing. Long before the bestseller charts were packed with mind/body/spirit, business, and relationship books, Judy created a platform for new voices and leading authorities and experts in their fields, including internationally bestselling authors Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mary Berry, David Allen and Brian L. Weiss.

Judy Piatkus joins Sandie this week to talk about her memoir, Ahead of Her Time – How a One-Woman Startup Became a Global Publishing Brand, which provides fascinating insights into building a company and brand identity, her learning experiences as an entrepreneur, the triumps and pitfalls, what worked and what didn’t, how it felt to overcome obstacles to build the career she wanted from the ground up, as a truly self-made woman… and much more.

Judy Piatkus is an entrepreneur, publisher and business coach specialising in conscious leadership. She founded Piatkus Books when she was in her 20s and grew the company to become an international brand, before selling it in 2007, just before the global financial crash that she had shrewdly foreseen. She is now a keynote speaker and a coach and mentor to start-ups. In 2011 she founded Conscious Cafe, a network that brings people together for conscious connection and discussion.

Celebrating Milestones

Air Date: Wednesday, 23 June 2021 at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT

Milestones, celebrations, honoring achievements, just another moment on the journey? Yes, they are ‘just’ another moment – but they are also essential to ‘name’ because they provide us with the necessary feedback for knowing where, when, and how to move forward.

It’s not uncommon to keep pushing the Self to get to the next step without stopping and really acknowledging the effort and learning that occurred to arrive, HERE.

And it doesn’t stop there. How does the Self process one of these big moments and ensure the WHOLE Self is getting credit? So often, the active, ‘make-something-happen’ doer aspects of Self are haled for their victory, forgetting the background characters who actually came together to triumph.

In this week’s show, Sam will talk about Expedition’s Self recent milestones, how she got there, how long it took and why. She’ll also explore ways to relate and perceive these accomplishments as both ‘more and less’ than they are in the self-development process.

Ego, the search for self-value, self-thrashing, and invalidation will surely find their way into the conversation. But our discussion will also cover the need for dreaming, finding passion, planning, managing the beginning, middle and the end, staying inspired and motivated.

This is an intriguing opportunity to celebrate and make use of your milestones and accomplishments as part of your commitment to BEING. It provides another facet of the ‘how’ associated with going inside, seeking consciousness, and being at the source of your own transformation.

It’ll be a thought-provoking, inspiring hour for sure. And Sam invites you to CALL IN and CHAT LIVE and share your thoughts on ‘Celebrating Milestones’, to further the conversation.

Go to samparrotto.com to submit your questions for this week’s conversation.

You won’t want to miss being an ‘ON AIR’ participant of Expedition Self. Sam will provide real insight, understanding and offer an opportunity to connect a new way of thinking to YOUR way of thinking.

Each week Sam discusses a different and highly accessible slice of building a stronger, deeper relationship with the inner Self so that YOU have the tools to become more and more whole.
