"Cheekys, which has a warehouse and office in New Plymouth and a retail outlet in nearby Fruitland, is perhaps the hottest thing going in this region of tiny towns and farms near the Oregon border...Now women around the world wear across their chests the company's arch-yet-proud slogans."

"Jessi's story teaches us never to give up on our dreams. Filled with both
inspiration and action, this book will get you back on the path to manifesting
your greatest vision, in business and beyond."—Mike
Michalowicz, author of Profit First
Backroads Boss Lady isn't a business book. It's real life,
real emotion, and real inspiration for all women. Jessi Roberts proves once
again that success isn't about money, it's about honesty, friendship, hard
work, loyalty, and loving where you live, even when-or maybe especially
when-times are hard. Those are lessons all of us can use every day."—Vicki Myron, #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Dewey
"Take it from someone
who has advised dozens of business owners: Backroads
Boss Lady is
groundbreaking. Jessi Roberts breaks the mold of what a conventional
entrepreneur looks like and shatters every ceiling. This is more than a
business book; it's about family, parenting, friendship, community and living
your best life with integrity." —Fran Hauser, author
of The
Myth of the Nice Girl
Backroads Boss Lady
Happiness Ain't a Side Hustle--Straight Talk on Creating the Life You Deserve
Read the inspiring story of a mother of four who faced down her hard past, poverty, and self-doubt to create the life she dreamed of, including owning her own multi-million dollar business–in this book that’s “filled with grit, humility, common-sense advice and entrepreneurial wisdom” (Lee Woodruff, #1 bestselling author).
New Plymouth, Idaho. Population 1536. It doesn’t look like much from Rural Route 30, but it was here, in this quiet town, that Jessi Roberts created something unexpected: the kind of life she always wanted and a multi-million dollar, for rural/by rural business empire.
The business is Cheekys, which started with 6 purses and a tanning bed. Now in her book, Jessi shows how she grew one small store hurdle-by-hurdle into a national clothing and accessories brand with a 1.5 million strong community. Best of all, she did it by standing tall for her values: always be kind, lift up the next gal, and treat employees and customers like family.
A personal story filled with life and business tips, BACKROADS BOSS LADY is about embracing your passion even when others don’t see value in it–or you–and about putting food on the table and believing in yourself. Brimming with authenticity, it gives the warts-and-all, love-it-despite-it skinny on rural life, community, and contentment without compromise.
