Making A Quality Decision Through An Emotional Time.

There are times in our lives and business that we will have to make decisions that affect ourself and the people we care about weather thats family, friends, business associates, employees. And to get down to brass tacks we make those decisions every day. However there are times and occurances that not only our logic is in play for those decisions. Emotions play a large role in our decision making process. At times our emotions can be at extreme Highs and at times extreme Lows. Thats when it can be very tricky to make quality decisions. It has been in my experience that there are a few things needed to be done to make these points in our life be positive versus negative.

First is try to be level headed and un-emotional if possable. If that doesnt work weigh your pros and cons.

Write down on one piece of paper the negative effects of your decision possabilities and on the other wright down the positive affects.

Weigh the short term and long term affects of the potential decisions you make.

Calculate your risk. If in worst case senerio X happens can you live with it?

Get the unbiased opinion of someone that has a mutual interest in you success, not just in business but in life as well.  This is extremely important. One alwayse needs a”council” of people to go to in diffrent situations. “There is safety in a multitude of councilors”

If possable drop the issue for a few hours, or days if possable to stable your emotions and see through anything that could be clouding your judgement.

Theres always the option of Prayer. Depending on how you look at it a first step or a last option.

Hope this helps.
