The HGTV star announced his forthcoming book in an Instagram post last Thursday: "I've done so many dumb things in my day that I had enough material to write a book ... so I did! Coming this fall: 'Capital Gaines - Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff'."
According to the book description, "Capital Gaines" follows Chip's journey as 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," reads the description.
"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.
It adds, "Capital Gaines is the perfect book for anyone looking to succeed not only in business but more importantly in life …"
However, the creative duo wasn't always so successful. In an earlier interview with People Magazine, Chip and Joanna revealed they barely scraped by as small business owners.
"I remember when we first got married the only money we had was what was in Chip's pocket," Joanna recalled. "He always had a wad of cash, but we were broke. If I needed to go grocery shopping it's whatever was in his pocket. That's how we paid the bills."
