As much as you need to know your operations, if you don't understand the finance side and how to do the business, you're never going to be successful. So you might be the best operator or visionary, but if you don't understand the finance side...

Don't ever let your business get ahead of the financial side of your business. Accounting, accounting, accounting. Know your numbers. -Tilman J. Fertitta Business
I'm not on a special diet, but I do try to stay away from a lot of fried foods and from a lot of carbs. Yes, I eat a little bit of all of it. -Tilman J. Fertitta Diet
I know how to finance something. It's easier today because, as you're more successful, everybody wants to do deals with you.
