We make countless decisions every day on our land, in our business, and in our lives—but most of us were never taught how to make them effectively. In this episode, I share the decision-making framework that completely changed how I approach every choice: the Holistic Management Decision Testing Questions.

I'll walk you through my own journey from making reactive, problem-focused decisions to using a framework that considers the whole picture. You'll hear how I went from spending money on symptoms (like spraying weeds annually) to addressing root causes with one-time investments that actually moved my operation forward.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why traditional decision-making fails in complex land management systems
• The costly mistakes that happen when we only focus on the part, not the whole
• How poor decisions lead to second-guessing, analysis paralysis, and burnout
• The framework I've used for years to make confident decisions that align with my values and goals
• Why monitoring your decisions is just as important as making them

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by choices, uncertain about how to move forward, or frustrated that your decisions aren't getting the results you want, this episode will give you a new way to think about every decision you make.

Ready to stop second-guessing yourself? Join me for The Decision Lab workshop on November 19th at 12:00 CST, where we'll work through the seven Decision Testing Questions together in an interactive, hands-on format.
