Decision Making in Times of Stress

Decision making in times of stress is what a lot of us would call a fight or flight decision. Sometimes you may not make the best decision and it could leave you crippling in fear or cause you to lose a lot more than you intended to.  

For instance; Rhonda often found herself trying to make decisions while she was stressed, and at the time it seemed like her decisions were the best for her. She would later realize, like many of us do, that the decisions she made weren't the best options but at the time, she didn't feel that she had much of an option so she took that risk. 

If you find yourself in a stressful environment and you need to make an on the spot decision, please read through these tips and use them to your advantage.  

  • Look at the highs and lows of the outcome 

Before you leap to a decision, ask yourself what the outcome might be. What are likely to gain or lose from the situation? Is it going to be one that you might regret? Don't jump to the decision without asking yourself these questions first.  

  • Consequences and probabilities 

What are going to be some of the consequences if you don't make the decision at this very moment? If the decision can wait, then let it. It is better to think it over than to make a rash decision. What is the probability of this consequence? If you think that something bad might happen, what is the likeliness of this happening? 


 Now, what do you think would have happened If Rhonda would have used the skills laid out in this plan? Rhonda probably would have made a much overall wiser decision instead of making a decision that's outcome wasn't what she was hoping for.

Then it got me to thinking; why not use Fiverr to make money online? Fiverr is a community of people who offer jobs or gigs for $5, and these gig range from funny things like making up a silly song to sing to you, to getting more pageviews, likes, followers, to writing content for people. Well, I am a writer and therefore I like to get paid to write. I set up a few gigs and waited patiently. I started getting hits off of these gigs and people started buying my fiverr gigs. I was making money online within a week. Now, I have used them in the past and so I know that they do payout. They use Paypal to pay the individuals and people from around the world use them. You can either have the funds added to your paypal account or you can use the money you earned to purchase gigs yourself. On the gigs that you...

Long Tail Keywords, Niche Sites, and So Much More

 There is nothing new about niche sites but, there are still a lot of people who don’t know how to create one, why keyword long tail phrases are important, how to search for keywords, and choosing the right keywords. I walk you through as much as I can in a short…umm, maybe long, post. I will go more into this in the near future but for now, enjoy this post on niche sites and keywords. .   What is a Niche Site   A niche site is a website or blog that focuses on one particular thing. Let’s say, for instance, you wanted to do a website on crafting. A niche site for crafting would mean that you would need to take it and narrow it down as much as possible. Instead of being on a wide range, which crafting can be, you might want to focus on a certain type of craft. A niche site for crafting might be woven headbands, building tables made from oak, or using a particular tool to create crafts.   The Right keywords   When you create a niche site, you must use the Right ke...
