Chip does tell some stories, but mostly he writes an encouraging story about how he never gave up on his dreams (once he figured out what those dreams were) and that the reader shouldn't give up either. You get some inside scoop on their business and how it grew. And comments about juggling family and work. And, of course, his relationship with Joanna and how that developed. The story of how they have learned to work together, even though they are opposites in many ways, is a lesson for all couples.
There is some stupid stuff, as the title implies, but mostly he's a really smart guy who learns from his mistakes, is willing to take risks, and never gives up.
It is also a very quick read. My son has his own carpentry business, and I've recommended he read Capital Gaines. If you are any kind of entrepreneur, you should consider it.
Note that I listened to the new paperback edition, which includes an extra chapter with an update for 2019.

I am also a fan of fixer upper, the house prices are shocking to me because the very cheapest house in our town is probably $500,000+ and that's for a one-bedroom!
ReplyDeleteHa! The advantage of small town living. I live in a town with much the same pricing as Waco...😊
