The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known to millions of people as a TV star, renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of 4 in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge, even if it didn’t quite work out as planned. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step.

In Capital Gaines, we walk alongside him as he relives some of his craziest antics and the lessons learned along the way. His mentors taught him to never give up and his family showed him what it meant to always have a positive attitude despite your circumstances. Throw in a natural daredevil personality and a willingness to do (or eat!) just about anything, and you have the life and daily activity of Chip Gaines.

Capital Gaines is the perfect book for anyone looking to succeed not only in business but more importantly in life.

    Encouraging insights from Chip I liked the story and that Chip read it. It felt a little bit like leftover content that didn’t fit in their first book, but overall worth it.

    I Like Being A Launching Pad For Others In CAPITAL GAINES: SMART THINGS I LEARNED DOING STUPID STUFF, author and popular TV personality Chip Gaines describes the rocky path of his business career. Keep in mind that this book is very much an autobiographical read—not so much a general business book. So, if you are a big fan of The Gaines’ TV show, you will probably find the anecdotes a lot of fun to read. On the other hand, if you are looking for more general business tips, this is probably not the book for you.
