Improve your short-term and long-term decision-making process, and set your life and business in the optimal direction!


Add layers to your decision-making with proven methods, science, logic, and Emotional Intelligence in you thinking.


MANY DIFFERENT EXAMPLES OF CORE DECISIONS


See real-life decision-making examples on business strategy, hiring, firing, project selection, start-up launch, product launch, and many other examples taken from real and practical scenarios.


HOW THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE BRAIN MAKE DECISIONS


There are short-term decisions, mid-term decisions, and long-term decisions. In addition, there is even a big difference if you take half a second to make a decision vs. whether you take two seconds to make a decision. Different parts of the brain are activated as seconds pass.


GUT REACTIONS, INTUITION, AND DECISIONS MADE BEFORE THINKING


In this course, you will learn some of the Neuroscience and Biology of your brain. One thing you will learn is how you form gut reactions, impulsive decisions, and decisions based on intuition.

Many emotional, gut reaction decisions are largely made with your Amygdala, and even though they are not always negative, such decisions tend to be more negative, risk-averse, fear-based, and help you avoid bad outcomes.

But you'll also learn how to make your decision making process more sophisticated by allowing other parts of your brain to play a larger role in how you process information and make decisions.


MAKING DECISIONS USING THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX


The Prefrontal Cortex is the part of our brain that handles more complex logic and context. It usually activates a second after the Amygdala, and can add depth of reasoning to your gut reactions. You can take two seconds or days in order to fully process a decision, especially if it's a complex and highly-impactful one.


CASE STUDIES OF HOW SUCCESSFUL CEOS MAKE DECISIONS


Learn how Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Paul Graham approach decision-making. Some of them are more or less risk-averse, but all of them have been successful in gigantic projects.


LOGIC AND LOGICAL FALLACIES


Of course, it will help your decision-making if you immerse yourself in a little big of logic and learn logical fallacies, so you don't fall into those pitfalls! So we'll cover that as well.


RECENTLY ADDED: PHILOSOPHY OF COMPROMISE


Compromise is a part of decision-making, but it's a polarizing and controversial concept. Some people learn to appreciate the benefits of compromising, while others reject it as a go-to option.

The truth is that it is a viable tool for some scenarios, but far from all scenarios.

Compromise helps you avoid conflict, stagnation, and disagreement. But the problem with compromise when it comes to decision-making is that it makes you agree to something that isn't as accurate or ideal as you'd prefer. In this course, we'll discuss when to use compromise, and when to avoid it.


STOP INDECISION


You'll also learn how to stop indecision, and become more decisive. A part of stopping indecision is boosting your confidence and trusting your intuition, but you can strengthen your decisions and make them more accurate by using a data-driven decision making approach.


DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING


You'll also see a real-world case study of my own data-driven decision making process. I'll show you how I use Excel to visualize and analyze data to help me interpret my company's data in order to make sound, logical, data-driven decisions.
