The Step Up! Fast Track to Wealth page on Facebook offers a daily post to keep people on the fast track.

Certain posts strike a chord and collect more “Likes” and comments than others. Whether you are reading them for the first time or revisiting them, the response to the following ten posts was off the charts! BGTD!

1. What is detachment? Breaking the attachment/need to rescue & fix those who have become overly dependent on U. To let them fail & not be guilted into to feeling responsible when they do. And to no longer be spell-bounded by those you’ve become overly dependent on who U have previously given a lot of power to affect your emotional wellbeing. BGTD!
2. Only when you know the difference between sympathy and compassion does the dynamite go boom. Compassion says I’m aware of your suffering, my heart goes out to you & I’m willing to help you clean up your mess without bailing you out of it. For to do so would enable you to stay stuck in it & make bigger messes for you & me! Sympathy says something completely different. BGTD!
3. Conflicts are part of relationships. The skill to resolve them ignites wealth & happiness. Unresolved conflicts never go away – they get buried alive & come out later in uglier ways as unresolved anger, pay backs & break ups. To not face & resolve a conflict traps U in a downward spiral until U do. Knowing how to resolve conflicts makes the dynamite go boom. BGTD!
4. To resolve conflicts & improve relationships requires the skill to talk about the problem you want solved without blaming the other person for it. Blaming others for your problems sets them up to give you more problems. You don’t have to make anyone wrong before making something right. Only when you can name the problem without blaming the person does the dynamite boom.
5. The major skill to resolving conflicts & misunderstandings is to listen with the intention to understand. Understanding is to the emotions what air is to the lungs. Without understanding, we get sick emotionally & eventually our relationships perish of suffocation. Understanding never comes from talking – it only comes from listening. Listen to understand & the dynamite booms.
6. Ever had someone listen to you try tell them something important that you really wanted them to understand? And when you were done talking & after they listened-they told you back what they heard you say in a way that you thought: OMG, not only do they understand what I said – they understand me more than I do. THAT’S LISTENING TO UNDERSTAND! Listening ends conflicts & makes the dynamite boom.
7. Got this script from a stylist who is down sizing family & friendly discounts. Let me know if you ‘Like’ this: “Since I’ve become certified in design & color the demand for my time from clients who pay full price has required me to re-think when I’m able to schedule family & friends. From now on I’m only going to be available on ___ during these hours ___. Let me know if that’ll work for you.” BGTD!
8. First page of Over the Top says: says. ‘We know that a vast potential exists in the hearts & minds of each stylists. We value them & believe they are not problems to be solved but potentials to be discovered & developed. The sole purpose of OTT is to help stylists to discover & reveal that potential to make the dynamite go boom.
9. Page 74 in Over the Top says: Storm Starters are drama hounds who hide out in the back room starting emotional tornadoes by spreading negative energy (gossip). Storm Chasers never start tornados but can’t resist the lure to participate in the drama & chaos of tornados. Detach from both lest you get sucked into the swirl & end up sick. Staying clear of Starters & Chasers keeps the dynamite booming.
10. Page 89 in Over the Top says: Credibility with clients dies the moment U slap hateful judgments on them because of how they look. OH NO! Look at her, what a mess! What am I going to do with that? Look at that old bat. She’s older than dirt. I hate old people! A coupon clipper I hate bargain hunters! Look at that guy what a freak! Clients’ judgments of U is governed by your judgments of them. Judge less & go boom.
