How An Unusual "Farting" Problem Led To Massive Culinary Success!

Do you bite your nails?



Pass gass easily or often?



Do you dig your forefinger into the back of your mouth above

your teeth to clean out the mashed up food that's stuck

there -- in public?



Don't worry about it -- first of all -- whoever "catches"

you doing these things isn't really giving it a second

thought.



I know you may feel self-couscious about it, but believe me,

no one's going home at night and talking about it with

their family while they're eating their broiled chicken and

caesar salad around the table at dinner time.



The other thing is, you really never DO know how these

"oddball" or "quirky" characteristics and idiosynchracies of

yours...



May change the outcome of your entire life!



For instance, when Giuseppe Mascali was 14, he started

getting sick -- he had LOADS of gas, and an occasional upset

stomach.



His mother took him to the doctor, and as it turns out --

the problem was -- he had a hard time digesting all the

tomato seeds he was eating. And since he was living in

Torino -- a town in Northern Italy -- he was eating tomato

sauce almost nightly, and something needed to be done --

quick!



So, whenever Giuseppe's mother made marinara sauce, she

would have to strain the sauce at some point in the cooking

process, and remove all the tomato seeds.



The other thing she had to do, was to boil off and remove

all the oils before serving Giuseppe his dinner. See, she

came to understand, long before all the scientists and the

FDA and everyone else who's counting carbs and watching

their weight, that trans-fatty acids, aren't easy to digest

and they don't break down inside of you.



How some little Italian lady who presumably wasn't a

chemist, uncovered these things... I have no idea. Perhaps

it's the same way your mother always knew when you were

lying when you were a kid. I'm not a mom but Lord knows I

do know the incredible power of...



Women's Intuition!



But... I digress.



Anyway, when Giuseppe decided to come over to America and

become a chef, he brought these cooking secrets along with

him, so all his meals are not only scrumptious... but after

you finish eating, it doesn't feel like you just swallowed

a pot of lead BB's that suddenly start fusing together now

that they're inside your tummy.



How do I know all this?



The answer is simple.



Over on State Road 41, just north of the railroad tracks in

this little old town I live in called Lutz, there's a

restaurant called Villaggio Ristorante Italiano.



Giuseppe's owned the joint since 1999, and when Anne and I

and the kids ate their the other night, he was kind enough

to share his story with us.



Not only that, but before our waiter came over to us,

Giuseppe spent some time asking us what kind of dishes we

liked and he made a few suggestions about some meals he

thought we'd enjoy.



Then, during dinner, Giuseppe came over to check on us a few

times, and he grabbed our glasses and got us drink

refills.



I didn't have any wine or other alcohol to drink that night

(although with 3 kids in tow, you'd have thought drinking

would be automatic -- but there again -- I am a bit of a

glutton for punishment) but if I was drinking, no doubt,

Giuseppe also would've made sure to bring me another drink,

lickety-split.



I'm not sure if Guiseppe does any marketing for his

restaurant -- the parking lot's usually full, so whatever

he's doing, it's working.



But... do you know, if all he did was tell his story in

writing, the same simple way I just told it to you... that

he'd have an absolute killer sales letter?



It's true!



All he'd need to do is fill in a few more personal details,

like some more information about where he grew up... what

kind of food his mother liked to cook most often... maybe

his favorite dish... and some information about his

"business partner", who also happens to be his wife.



Are you telling YOUR story in your marketing?



If not, why not?



You're missing a wonderful chance at selling!



Do you know why stories like this are so powerful?



No?



Well, I'll be spilling the beans about why this in a future

tip, sometime soon, but in the meanwhile, I'm sure

there's something about you -- or something in your

history or your family's history -- that has curious

or unusual details that are at LEAST as exciting as

Guiseppe's, that you can be talking about with

your prospects and customers.



And even if you don't fart... or chew your nails... or

you're not farting and chewing your nails at the same

time... believe me, I'm sure there's something about you or

your business that's unique.



Figure out what that is, and then... start telling your

story!



Now go sell something.
