Chip Gaines thinks
clearly about what’s important in his life. This includes his wife,
children and businesses. Other things are great to have, but not if
they cause you to sacrifice the first three. This led him and Johanna to
give up their TV show, Fixer Upper. Chip describes in detail how much
he loved the show, but also why they had to leave.
The book is not a
business book. It’s Chip’s story, but it has valuable information
for the would be entrepreneur. The major advice is be ready for hard
work. Take risks, but be ready to deal with failure not as a setback,
but as a learning experience so that you can do better the next time.
Chip has excellent
principles and a serious work ethic. He also knows how to give young
people a chance to shine in the workplace. People need to learn
things for themselves. Being spoon-fed doesn’t build the resilience
you need to succeed in business.
I highly recommend
this book if you’re looking for advice on how to view becoming an
entrepreneur. The gains can be substantial, but it’s important to
have an outlook that lets you grow from all your experiences. If you
fail, get up, figure out what went wrong, and try again.
This book is also
great fun, if you’re a fan of Fixer Upper. The behind the scenes
look at keeping up with four kids, a television show, and several
businesses is well worth reading.
I received this book
from BookLook Bloggers for this review.
