About this listen
Shut Up and Listen! is a true leadership roadmap to the summit of career success and satisfaction, featuring concise principles for entrepreneurs and business leaders at any level.
Tilman Fertitta, also known as the Billion Dollar Buyer, started his hospitality empire thirty years ago with just one restaurant. Over the years, he’s stayed true to the principles that helped him build the largest single-shareholder company in America, with over $4 billion in revenue, including hundreds of restaurants (Landry’s Seafood, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, Morton’s Steakhouse, Mastro’s, Rainforest Café, and over forty more restaurant concepts) and five Golden Nugget Casinos. He’s also sole owner of the NBA’s Houston Rockets. This book shares the key insights that made it all possible.
In Shut Up and Listen!, Fertitta shares straight-talk “Tilmanisms” around six key action items that any entrepreneur can adopt today:
- Be the Bull
- No Spare Customers
- Change, Change, Change
- Know Your Numbers
- Follow the 95/5 Rule
- Take No Out of Your Vocabulary
For aspiring entrepreneurs or people in business, this guide will help you take your company to the next level. When you put this book down, you’ll know what you’re doing right and what you’re doing wrong to operate your business, and if you’re just getting started, it will help set you up for success.
A groundbreaking, no-holds-barred book, Shut Up and Listen! offers practical, hard-earned wisdom from one of the most successful business owners in the world.

Everything you need to know - highly recommend!
Tilman is a stickler for the detail and anyone who runs a business, is entrepreneurial or in a leadership position managing a time will gain plenty of value from this. It isn’t the most in depth book you could expect, but the relevance and points he makes are definitely there in spades.
Highly recommend!!

A must read! Overflowing with wisdom!
I never heard of Tilman Fertitta but I sure have now. A lot of writers usually write books to promote their other streams of income (Books, Courses, TV Shows, etc), although Mr Fetitta does make callbacks to his TV Show, he does it through an example that the reader can refer to. I definitely recommend this book to anyone in any industry. MUST READ 5/5

Strong and straight to the point
Tilman Fertitta is a real business Man. I found that within this book there are lots of golden nuggets especially for people who want to start their own business.
His approach to hospitality and any other business is clear and simple to apply. Loved it.

I’m not sure whether to give this book a four or five star review
He makes it sound so simple. Quite a bit of it seems to be obvious stuff but I really wonder whether succeed in business is actually as easy as he makes it out to be. I suspect not, unless one gets really lucky...
