Deepak Shukla’s Notes On Shut Up and Listen by Tilman Fertitta and Jim Gray :
Hey guys,
I finished reading this book on the 10th January 2021.
Here’s a synopsis of the book I grabbed from Amazon:
“One of the few true leadership road maps to the summit of career success and satisfaction, featuring concise learn-and-repeat principles for entrepreneurs, leaders of large companies, managers, and executives at any level.”

And here are my actual notes I took whilst I was listening to this on Audible:
- When things are bad to eat the weak and grow your business
- Don't choose to quit. Choose to keep punching
- Don't overreact
- Sometimes no decision is the best decision at all
- Change change change
- Top performance should be expected. Not something that's out of the ordinary
- Be a great teacher
- Assume it will go wrong
- Don't assume anything
- Take the time to listen to everyone around you
- Surround yourself with people that are smarter than you are
- Know what you know and know what you don't know
- If you want to lead. Listen first.
- Define success by being more successful at something than anyone else
- Surround yourself and work with others who are every bit as motivated as you. Never become complacent
- What do you want to own that you currently don't that makes you feel poor
- Feeling poor is a powerful way to feel hungry
- If your offer is fair be prepared to walk away from deals and let the deal chase you
- Borrow money when you don't need it because when you do need it you might not have it
- When things are bad eat the weak and grow your business
- Remember in good times things go bad and in bad times things go good so always be prepared for both
- Partner with people with complementary skill sets
- Make friends with partners in business they will help you out more than anyone
- Sometimes you can't avoid the fire it's just the way you put it out that matters
- Overdeliver. Eg Sell 45 minutes but deliver 55. Offer 30 links but build 40 etc etc
- Apologise and resolve immediately. Sometimes have 'sorry budgets' for things you will do if something goes wrong
- Build in 'What if scenarios' - what if everything that could go wrong did go wrong
- Follow through always
- Be plappy - play happy 100% of time
- HOSPITALITY is
- Things you have to know
- I don't fear anything but I worry about everything
