BOOK DESCRIPTION
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.

Get to know Chip Gaines all the better in his own business memoir. Find out about some of his wacky ideas and crazy schemes that got him to where he is today. Hey, no matter what his stories sound like, I'd vouch that he's made it somewhere good in life.
Chip and Joanna are both honest, authentic people. Chip is a bit crazy, but that's okay, because that's why we like him. He's a comedian -- literally. His book is filled with so much laugh-out-loud humor. Every time I sat down to read a bit of this book, it brightened my day exponentially -- and that's what I love the most about it. It made me happy just to read a few pages and relax.
This guy has a great approach to business and entrepreneurship. He thinks fast on his feet, and he's done so many types of jobs... so he knows what he's talking about. Through this book, he is really trying to persuade YOU to chase down your dreams too. Make it happen!
The Gaines family can only go up from here. I'm always excited to hear of the next Magnolia venture. I would recommend Capital Gaines as an inspirational and motivational read.
