Charlie Trotter Wants You to Be Ballsier

“I want YOU to stop being chicken shit.”

Charlie Trotter, speaking to Northewestern MBA students on a field trip to his restaurant: “I’m all about making money. It’s the greatest thing, because it means you get money to spend.” To be fair, he also said “You’ve got to go do stuff. Be bold. Be ballsy. Too many people are chicken shit. Go do something for five years. You’re young. You can always play it safe later.” [BusinessWeek]
