Judy Piatkus, the 2022 Business Book Award Winner, embarked on a remarkable entrepreneurial journey despite humble beginnings. Starting as a secretary after failing to secure a university place, she faced numerous challenges. By the time she founded Piatkus Books from her spare bedroom, she was a married mother of a disabled daughter and expecting her second child. Over time, Judy learned to juggle the roles of publisher and managing director, while also being a single mother of three. Despite making mistakes along the way, she achieved significant success. The company thrived due to Judy's willingness to take risks in exploring new market subjects and her commitment to transparency, honesty, and trust in her business practices. This approach earned the loyalty of her staff, many of whom worked alongside her for over twenty years.
Throughout the book, Judy shares her invaluable learning experiences as an entrepreneur, delving into the intricacies of running a company, the joys and pitfalls, what worked and what didn't, the strategies employed during lean times, and the euphoria of achieving gold. Her story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the power of perseverance in pursuing one's dreams.
Judy's journey serves as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs and business professionals alike, reminding us that with hard work, dedication, and a commitment to ethical practices, we can overcome obstacles and achieve remarkable success.
