Here is the CliffsNotes version...

• 
  
• Start by asking for what you want. You can’t manifest what you want without knowing and saying what it is. 
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Sometimes you have to make a decision, and once you make a change, things start to happen. But you have to go with the information, the tools, and the information that you have at the time. 
•

• 
  
• Everyone wants to talk about those, those mountaintop moments. But Shalena tells people about what they're going to experience in the valley, because we're made in the valley.

• Choose a goal that is worthy of you. A goal that is worthy of you is one that stretches you. It stretches your way of thinking, it stretches your way of believing. It stretches your way of being.
• 
  
• 
  
• Know that you will have setbacks, but don’t let setbacks become a red light that stops you. Know that it just comes with the territory of goals that are worthy of you. 
• 
  
• 
  
• There is no right way to do things … and no wrong way. You have to go back to trusting and listening to your inner self. There is no right way. There is your way.
• 
  
• 
  
• Remember that when you plant a seed, it takes time for it to grow before you can harvest it. Don’t get discouraged or try to reap right away.
