Shedding light on the concept of a Vision Board Nifemi Taiyese defined it as a tool used to help clarify, concentrate, and maintain focus on what truly matters to individuals, it is a visual representation that represents whatever you want to be, do, or have in your life. A good vision board should contain the time frame, resources, and tools needed to achieve the set goals.

Consistency: Being consistent in following through with prepared vision boards will make it easy for individuals not to go off track.
Discipline: this entails working in a controlled manner and following the standards in place while working to meet set timeframes such as a professional course.
Intentional: individuals should be intentional about every step and avoid time-wasting external factors.
Invest in Yourself: Developing abilities over time is a huge investment that requires careful planning and promotes individual abilities in school and in the workplace, which makes them learn, grow, and create value.
