Vision board versus action planning
* Vision boards are based on the Law of
Attraction, also called “The Secret”:
* The idea that your mode of thinking
directly affects what the universe gives you.
* If you put positive mental energy into the
universe, you’ll be the recipient of positive outcomes.
* At the same time, ideas, thoughts, and dreams are great, but
they are forms of energy which do not necessarily lead to action.
* This is where you need Action Planning Boards
