She&amp;nbsp;created the life she wanted by&amp;nbsp;saying yes&amp;nbsp;as she went. I really dig her.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;  SUZY,&amp;nbsp;co-founder of Itty Bitty\u2122 Publishing made her stage debut in a dance recital at the age of two as the lead elephant in a long line of two-years old in a rendition of \u201cThe Circus.\u201d It was love at first performance.&amp;nbsp;Suzy&amp;nbsp;never again saw a stage she didn\u2019t want to be on \u2013 preferably in the center. At 22,&amp;nbsp;Suzy&amp;nbsp;started a fitness and toddler program at her home \u2013 following her mother Bonnie Prudden\u2019s sage advice to \u201ckeep \u2018em busy\u201d \u2013 she founded&amp;nbsp;Suzy&amp;nbsp;Prudden Studios \u2013 the first, largest and most successful toddler exercise school in New York City. That school, which branched out into gymnastics and women\u2019s exercise, took her to 13 books, twenty national tours, The Today Show, Good Morning America and Oprah, along with thousands of magazines and newspapers and total burn out.&amp;nbsp; She retired from fitness at the age of 40 and went on to be a pioneer the emerging Body\/Mind industry. To ease the burn out she started studying metaphysics and hypnosis which led her to opening and building the largest Hypnosis Center, Specializing in Weight Loss, in Los Angeles. It was during these years she discovered that she was a truly great salesperson.  &amp;nbsp;  As a successful entrepreneur, and author of a dozen books, she next started coaching her business hypnosis clients in how to grow their companies. On the way, she and her sister Joan Meijer-Hirschland wrote \u201cThe Itty Bitty\u2122 Weight Loss Book\u201d and discovered a unique blend of publishing and business building for authors. Together they founded S &amp;amp; P Productions, Inc. and created the Itty Bitty\u2122 Publishing Community which publishes Itty Bitty\u2122 books \u2013 15 Simple Informative Steps By Experts In Fields Of All Kinds. Prudden hangs out with experts of every description and within days of announcing the founding of the company began signing authors and helping them create 6 figure businesses from their books.
