We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jalisa Buck a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Jalisa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
Absolutely, naming a business is definitely a challenge! I struggled for a while to find the perfect name that clearly depicted what we believe in and who we serve. The name “Vital Visions” came from my desire to create a brand that embodies the essence of what I aim to help my clients achieve.
I wanted a name that spoke to the core of what’s important in both business and life. “Vital” represents the essential elements that make up a thriving, successful business and a fulfilling life. It’s about recognizing that our physical, mental, and financial well-being are all interconnected and crucial for overall success, which also aligns with our core framework (V.I.T.A.L.S.).
“Visions” reflects the dreams, goals, and aspirations that every purpose-driven entrepreneur, or visionary, has. It’s about seeing the bigger picture and envisioning what’s possible. I wanted to emphasize that with the right guidance and support, those visions can become reality.
Putting the two words together, “Vital Visions” captures the holistic approach we take in our coaching and consulting. It’s about aligning business success with personal fulfillment and ensuring that every aspect of our clients’ lives is thriving. Most importantly, it serves as a reminder to those with a purpose-driven vision that their vision is vital in the world.
The name also resonates with my personal journey and the transformative experiences I’ve had in my career. It serves as a constant reminder of the mission to empower purpose-driven entrepreneurs to realize their dreams while maintaining a healthy and balanced life.
That’s the story behind “Vital Visions” – a name that reflects the essential, interconnected elements of a successful and fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hi! I’m Jalisa Buck, the founder of Vital Visions Business Solutions. I have over five years of experience in business development, marketing, and sales. Before launching Vital Visions, I wore many hats—from Brand Strategist and Licensed Real Estate Agent to Small Business Coach and Consultant. These roles equipped me with a diverse skill set and deep understanding of what it takes to build and grow successful businesses.
I got into this industry because I’m passionate about helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs turn their visions into reality. I wanted to create a space where people could not only achieve their business goals but also thrive in their personal lives. That’s how Vital Visions came to be.

How’d you meet your business partner?
I met Maggie around 2021-2022 when I was searching for someone to help me with my business taxes. From the moment we started working together, her professionalism and helpfulness stood out. I appreciated her exceptional service and soon, she became my go-to for all things related to business finances. Having firsthand experience of how she consistently showed up for her clients, I knew she would be a fantastic fit for the vision I had for Vital Visions.
Not only did Maggie possess incredible skill and experience, but she also shared the same values and dedication to empowering entrepreneurs. We connected on a professional level initially, but it didn’t take long for us to form a personal friendship. It truly felt like she was a godsend.
As I began developing the plan for Vital Visions, Maggie and I found ourselves aligning on so many aspects of the business and life in general. It was clear that our partnership was meant to be and that we were brought together for a reason. Her expertise in business development, accounting, and financial advisory has been invaluable, and together, we’ve created a holistic approach to support our clients’ success.
Our journey from professional acquaintances to business partners has been filled with serendipitous moments and a shared vision that we believe is truly divine.
Have you ever had to pivot?
One significant pivot in my career was transitioning from One Woman Brand Co. to Vital Visions. One Woman Brand Co. was my first business venture, and it was all about helping entrepreneurs establish and grow their personal brands- mostly from a design and development standpoint. It was an exciting experience, and I loved working closely with so many passionate small business owners.
However, as I continued to work with these amazing entrepreneurs, I realized that there was a deeper need. Many of my clients were struggling not just with their brands but with the overall sustainability and growth of their businesses. They needed more comprehensive support that went beyond branding to include business strategy, financial planning, and personal well-being.
In early 2023, I made a tough decision to shutdown One Woman Brand Co. and take on a new direction for my company. Throughout 2023, I focused on building my personal brand and offered coaching and guidance to those interested in developing impactful personal brands because I knew I was passionate about my work, I knew my vision to help other businesses succeed was vital, and during that time it finally clicked…
This realization sparked the idea for Vital Visions. I wanted to create a holistic business solutions company that addressed all aspects of an entrepreneur’s journey. Transitioning from One Woman Brand Co. to Vital Visions was a big step. It meant expanding our services, building a team of experts, and developing a new framework that could provide the comprehensive support our clients needed.
The transition was challenging but incredibly rewarding. I brought on board Margaret “Maggie” Montague, a brilliant tax professional and business strategist, whose expertise in financial planning and business development was crucial. Together, we crafted the V.I.T.A.L.S. framework, which stands for Vitality, Insight, Treasury, Affinity, Learning, and Spiritual, to ensure we addressed every aspect of our clients’ lives and businesses.
Looking back, this pivot was essential. It allowed me to align my business with my passion and overall visions for holistic growth and support, ensuring that entrepreneurs not only succeed in business but also maintain a balanced and fulfilling life all over the world.
