Focus on Stakes: Loss Aversion vs. Upside Gain

Identifying the stakes involved in a situation by considering the potential bad outcomes if the issue is not addressed and the positive outcomes if it is addressed is crucial. This approach caters to individuals motivated either by loss aversion or by the prospect of gains. By thoroughly examining the negative and positive consequences, you can effectively engage both types of audiences.
