Overview

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.


Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2019 - AudioFile

Accomplished businessman Tilman Fertitta, who hosts CNBC’s reality series “Billion Dollar Buyer,” employs his staccato baritone in this blunt primer on entrepreneurial leadership skills. Liberally dosed with braggadocio, his audio performance is consistently engaging. This overall tone in both content and narration is somewhat bold and coarse. Clearly, Fertitta is a no-nonsense person, and this audiobook reflects his temperament. The owner of Landry’s, Inc., which includes the restaurants Morton’s and Mastro’s as well as the Houston Rockets, emphasizes his somewhat pessimistic approach to overcoming business obstacles. Never be fearful of them, he says, but always worry about maintaining success. W.A.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
