 What People Are Saying

The message of GUTSI Over SMART is stirring hearts and shifting the way people think about goals, faith, and purpose. Pastors, leaders, and readers are discovering how this book challenges them to dream bigger, trust deeper, and step into God-sized assignments that make a lasting Kingdom impact. Here’s what people are saying about the book.

​

 

I remember when I started questioning the S.M.A.R.T. goal framework. It was in 2012, shortly after launching the Kingdom Driven Entrepreneur movement. I’d spent years chasing the S.M.A.R.T. goals I created, leaning on my own understanding, but I began to realize they didn’t reflect the way God was leading me. There was more. There was a grace-filled, Spirit-led way to plan and build that didn't rely solely on my logic, timelines, and personal motivations.

To be clear, I didn’t throw S.M.A.R.T. away. I simply upgraded it. I began setting goals with God—ones that were aligned with His heart, fueled by His power, and designed to stretch me beyond what I could do on my own. And I’ve been helping others do the same ever since.

That’s why GUTSI over SMART resonates with me.

In this book, Dr. Vivien Lattibeaudiere gives language, clarity, and fresh perspective to something many Christ-following leaders are sensing: God is inviting us to dream differently. Her GUTSI framework—God-Inspired, Unachievable (without Him), Transformative, Solution-Oriented, and Imaginative—is a memorable and meaningful way to approach goals with a Kingdom mindset.

What I love most is that Vivien doesn’t just lay out a framework. She teaches and activates. She weaves together scripture, story, and practical insight from her own journey and the journeys of others—Biblical heroes, historical figures, and modern-day leaders—to show what it looks like to walk out GUTSI goals in real life.

I encourage you to do more than read the message within these pages. Respond to it. Stay open and expectant, allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to you through the reflections and questions included. My prayer is that not only will you be encouraged, but that what you need for the current season of your life and work will be unleashed.

Enjoy the adventure!
