Summary
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.

Simple but key messages from Tilman
Enjoyed listening to audio book, the key messages from Tilman are very basic yet really impactful when you relate them to business and life. Highly recommend it to those starting up a new business. Well structured and supported with many examples.

A good injection of high energy blunt advice
This was by no means the best book I’ve listened to recently but it does its job well. I don’t feel like I learnt a hell of a lot but what I did learn will undoubtedly be valuable. I think it’s good to listen to the ultra successful from time to time but people who achieve billionaire status aren’t always the best for advice as they are usually obsessive and borderline head cases. Interesting and I learnt about a bloke I knew nothing about before who seems decent enough

Genuine lessons from the mouth of a self-made billionaire
With all the rubbish out there from wannabes claiming how they make £100k and if you buy their course you can do that too...yeah right.
This is a really refreshing and incredibly rare opportunity to get really useful teachings from a billionaire. Not just as a well prepared book but he has given up time that few would to read the book himself in his own honest way.
I had just thrown in the towel on a business 2 years down the line after a serious issue where we’ve had to take a company to court to claim back £40,000. Tiny to some but it was my life savings.
I think he’s given me the boost I needed to realise there is still more to be done and not give up.
Unless you’re Warren Buffet or Richard Brandon et al, you’re not qualified to ignore what he has to say.
Stop listening to the small timers with their quirky gimmicks and give this a listen.
Thank you.

A great listen
A no nonsense no frills account of how he made a success of his business life. With the voice of Tilman Fertitta adding authenticity to the narration in his distinct straight to the point no nonsense way, made this audio book a real joy as well as an education.
