Host Clark Vandeventer talks about SMART Goals:
SMART goals are a goal-setting technique that uses five benchmarks to help create concise goals and action steps:
S is for Specific: Clearly define what you want to accomplish
M is for Measurable: Quantify your goals and build in milestones to make them easier to track
A is for Achievable: Consider if you have the resources to achieve your goal
R is for Relevant: Consider why you're setting the goal and how it will improve your life or career
T is for Time-bound: Set a firm schedule and stick to it
Episode inspired by the Masterclass on Creating Change, which also featured author Lewis Iwu. Malala and Iwu also discussed a great track to put your goals on that can be summed up in four words or phrases:
Four words
Awareness
Different Perspective
Quick Win
Big Policy Goal

In the past, you may have heard Clark Vandeventer talk about adding steps to the process. The more you elongate the major gift process and slowly bring your donors along, the safer you'll be. Clark recently heard Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos share the same idea with the phrase, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast."
The phrase "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" is a military saying that emphasizes the importance of taking time to do things carefully and methodically, rather than rushing and risking mistakes. It can also be thought of as the power of strategic thinking and deliberate action.

It's another Masterclass inspired episode. In this episode, Clark Vandeventer shares some of his notes from Robin Arzón's MasterClass on Mental Strength. Robin
Clark shares an incredible mental test he picked up from Robin for you to use whenever you hear yourself saying, "I don't have time."
Her JOY METRIC also inspired a twist on a mental exercise Clark has been doing for 20+ years.
Great quotes from Robin:
"The pursuit of movement unlocks endorphins but the pursuit of movement also enables us to have a relationship with discomfort and discomfort becomes less scary. so when things get real like when a capital r in our lives we have these smaller less intense, hopefully less stress inducing moments where we rose above. I believe that willpower and resiliency are also muscles worth exercising and they really go hand in hand so when you are willing to get uncomfortable physically you become tenacious mentally and I talk about ritualizing discomfort because we create a ritual around I'm going to go this distance today or I'm going to push this intensity today."
"Pain will become power."
