I'm not a smoker - that's why you want me

I have many thoughts that have been twirling around my head lately, which was a big impetus for beginning this blog.

I'm going to start my first post with something very apropos. I just got off a coaching call with my brilliant business coach, and told him I was tired of giving my long answer every time someone said to me, "But you're not a smoker. You can't know how it feels. How can you coach this?"

This is my new, amazing answer. I LOVE it!

"If you needed a heart transplant, would you need a doctor who's had a heart transplant? If you needed your leg amputated, would you want a one-legged doctor? I'm not a smoker, I've never smoked in my life, and that's precisely why I'm speaking to you on this subject. I have thought, eaten, breathed being a non-smoker and making all my decisions as a non-smoker my whole life. I am modelling the person you want to become."
