The 75/25 Rule for Making Hard Decisions

In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question almost everyone faces at some point: How do you become more decisive when the stakes feel high? Instead of falling into the two common extremes—either “just send it” without enough thought or endlessly preparing without ever acting—they explore what it looks like to take a better path. This conversation is about how real decisiveness is built through preparation, conviction, faith, and the courage to move before full certainty ever arrives.Through the lens of Move Right, Zach and Jake break down why decisive people are often not reckless at all—they are prepared. They discuss the role of due diligence, emotional control, fruit, wise counsel, and listening for God’s voice when making major life decisions around career, marriage, business, and calling. They also wrestle with the tension between responsibility and trust, showing that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to move forward when conviction has been built and faith must carry the rest. This episode is for men who feel stuck, torn between too many opinions, or afraid of making the wrong move—and want a clearer framework for deciding well.To watch the full conversation, find Move Right on YouTube at @ZKosturos.Additional Discussion Topics:Why “just send it” and “just prepare more” are both incompleteHow decisiveness is shaped by preparation, conviction, and courageWhy fruit matters when evaluating your patterns and the advice you takeThe role of wise counsel versus endless opinion-seekingHow faith and quiet time with God help clarify major decisionsWhy certainty is never total, and courage is still requiredHow to think through big decisions like career, business, marriage, and movingWhy decisive people often have stronger emotional control, not just stronger opinions
