The remaining part of this article contain some tips that can help you to improve on your online decision making skills.

Don't be too hasty
Hastiness can make you to miss some important steps you need to make before making decision. In my accounting and business administration school, they thought that decision making involves some steps. You need to take things easy and don't rush into conclusion because any decision you make online may not be easy to reverse, trace or track back.

Think before you leap
Think about the aftermath of your decision. For instance, if you plan to apply for Google Adsense on your blog or maybe Google Adsense is already on your blog, you have to think maybe the decision you are about to make is in compliance with Google Adsense policy. If you make a decision that make Google Adsense team to terminate your account that is bad decision and it means you don't think before you leap.


Set a goal
 You need to have a clearly define goal, objective, mission and vision for your online business. Where do you want to be in the next 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 years. Make sure any decision you are making is in harmony with your online goal and admiration. At times you may face a fork-in-the-road decision, what you need to do is to keep your goal in mind and do whatever you can to reach your online destination.

Training
This is one of the the most effective ways you can improve your online decision making skills. This involves attending seminars and schools and then attach your self to firm in your niche for further training and upbuilding. For instance, i plan to attend a 3 days seminars on website design and then find a website designing firm where i can do industrial attachment in order to extend my knowledge. One of the things you will learn during your training in these firms is how those organizations make important decision on sales, production, customer relations among others.

Mentor
It is high time online business people know that they need a mentor to avoid making some disastrous and time wasting decision. You need a mentor to teach you how to make some good online decision. For instance, your mentor can advice you on the best platform to use for your domain name hosting.

Read about and learn from other people's experience
It is very important to learn and read about the online experience of other people, so that we will not make the same mistake they have made but to replicate the right things they have done. When you learn from them you will save yourself the stress, pain and time you will experience to learn everything on your own. The slogan ' experience is the best teacher ' does not necessary mean you learn on your own, experience of others can as well serve as a best teacher. Visiting other people's website or blog, doing Google search and acquiring training are part of learning from other people online experience.

Practice
 Practice make perfect they say. I have known this long time ago in my secondary school days when i was a mathematician and in my higher institution days studying accountancy. The more you practice in computations, the more it becomes easier to make decision in solving related problems. In online world, you need to also practice whatever you are taught because you may not really understand what you have read or learn until you practice it.

If you have the ability to make good decision on whatever you are doing online, you don't need to be worry about the future of your online business.
