Five Things You Should’nt Know About Me (I’ve Been Tagged!)
By Michael Stelzner
Remember running around on the playground as kids and tagging your friends?
Well, a virtual version of this game is going down online.
Dianna Huff has tagged me.
So, now I need to tell you five things you never wanted to know about me:
- My first business was selling worms to locals in Wisconsin (lasted about 2 weeks)
- My first real job was cleaning a university kitchen 40 hours per week (floors, machines, etc. - VERY boring, I lived for lunch break)
- One of my ancestors wrote the story that was the basis for Fiddler on the Roof
- I eat at Carl’s Jr. daily for lunch; they know me in the drive through! (Typical order: BBQ chicken sandwich, side salad instead of fries w/ vinaigrette and diet, no ice.)
- My young girls have got in the habit of saying “Mommy’s always right!”
I hereby tag:
- Tom Chandler, Copywriter Underground
- Jonathan Kantor, White Paper Pundit
- Seth Godin (I’ll be shocked if he even plays)
- Liz Strauss, Successful-Blog
- Jill Konrath, Selling to Big Companies

Carl’s Jr *every* day? Ooooh, your arteries must be protesting! And, your daugthers show great wisdom. Plus, they are only quoting the Grateful Dead — “the women are smarter.”

Selling worms? Eww!

Dianna - I should have noted that I sub a grilled chicken salad a few days a week.
Orderer - Yes it was gross

Isn’t being tagged fun? I love your 5 things. Although Carl’s, Jr., threw me for a minute, since I’m on the East Coast and all. I figured it out fast, I promise. ;]

Hey Kristen - I think they call it Hardee’s on the East Coast. - Mike

They do indeed, and they have the best bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast biscuits ever. I used to treat myself on the days I drove to work instead of taking the train. Mmmmm, saturated fats….

Yes, especially their $6 Burger!
I think that Carl’s and Hardee’s marketing niche is being the burger chain that makes the biggest and messiest sandwiches.

I think Carl’s Jr has some of the best fast food out there (next to Wendy’s killer salads).

The most surprising fact to me is to know that you’ve been start your business as warm seller. That’s very far from white paper writer..
