She failed English. Multiple times. She grew up poor in a town you've never heard of, in a family where nothing was handed to you and everything had to be earned the hard way. Nobody gave her a roadmap, a trust fund, or permission.
She built it anyway.
Write Your Own Damn Story is the raw, real, and sometimes profane memoir-meets-battle-plan from Dee Yates - lifelong entrepreneur, photographer, publisher, author, and speaker. Over decades, Dee built multiple businesses from the ground up, turned a $600 Costco camera into a photography career, launched and ran a successful women's magazine, published Cowgirl Culture, California - a fine art book preserving Western heritage - and acquired Ropers Sports News, a 58-year-old legacy publication known as "The Roping Bible," transforming it into a glossy magazine while going toe-to-toe with a good old boys' club that never wanted her there.
None of it came easy. She lost everything and rebuilt from zero. She walked into rooms where she wasn't welcome and made them make space. She bought businesses without business degrees and created doors when every other one was slammed shut.
This book is the companion to Dee's motivational keynote - part memoir, part tactical roadmap. Every chapter delivers a hard-earned lesson and a challenge designed to push you to act. There's no theory here, no corporate fluff, no hand-holding. This is what actually works, from someone who has actually done it.
If you're a woman building something in an industry that wasn't built for you - if you're done waiting for permission that's never coming, done playing small to make other people comfortable, done asking for validation from people who never built a damn thing - this book is for you.
Nobody is coming to save you. Nobody is going to hand you the life you want. The permission you've been waiting for doesn't exist, so stop waiting and start building. Your story won't write itself.
Fair warning: there will be grammatical errors. There will not be excuses.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
