“National Best-seller—New York Times, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly, Wall Street Journal”

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 four 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.

Now a #1 New York Times bestselling book, Capital Gaines offers readers a ringside seat as Chip 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.

Not one minute of time wasted in this listen

Worthy of a listen as it is an investment in you ...in all of us...in really listening to someone who has a different perspective & finding common ground...investing in the greater good...fulfilling your purpose...quit planning aka hesitating...and grab ahold, work hard and start doing.

Love!

I️ loved this audible! I️ read reviews and saw people got teary eyed and didn’t think I️ would, but I️ was in the same boat as everyone else. It’s sweet how Chip is so grateful for everything in his life, so not a sad cry just touching. I’m so happy for him and Joanna to move on to bigger things!

Find your passion, pay the price

Better than expected!

The chapter about FEAR.
