Chip Gaines likes to sweat.
Written for anyone who believes that relationships are more than transactio.
People who lift you up and give your life meaning.
People with beating hearts and passions who live and love and try and fail and try again.
It\'s about how to find a group of real people who will stand beside you as you bust your butt, who believe that authentic human connection is more important than any other earthly thing, and who bet on each other instead of the status quo.
It\'s not about how to leverage your interactions with everyone you meet in an all-out sprint to get ahead.
Fair warning: building it will be painful, but what you\'ll gain is something strong, something reliable, and something that can change the world.
Spoiler alert #1: This is a book about networksSpoiler alert #2: This is not a book about networking Not networking in the traditional sense anyway.
New York Times BestsellerNo Pain, No Gaines is a by-the-bootstraps manual for building a network of people you can count on.
From hard-won lessons and personal stories from Chip, No Pain, No Gaines is a by-the-bootstraps manual for building a network you can count on.
And it requires a willingness to grow even when it hurts.
It requires hope.
It requires faith in people.
Chip Gaines has been building that kind of network his whole life, and he can tell you, it doesn\'t Come easy.
To say it requires sweat equity would be an understatement.
People who are enlivened and electrified by the power of living according to their purpose, who are always in pursuit of lifelong learning, and who have a sincere belief that relationships are more than transactions.
But if you want a network that will pull you into a life of meaning, a life of joy and connection, you need to be intentional about choosing the people in it.
Today it might be made up of your family, your neighbors, the people you work with.
We\'ve all got one.
Call it a network, a community, a home team.
On the cusp of launching into what might be the hardest work he and his wife, Joanna, have ever done--building a network--Chip realized that none of it would be possible without his network of people.
Deep in his bones he has always known that hard work yields great results, even when there\'s little observable evidence of it.
You\'ve probably seen him sweat on his television show, Fixer Upper.
That\'s been true ever since he was a little pint-sized hustler selling candy and Capri Suns down at the public tennis courts in northeast Texas.
