Description

Vehicles as a metaphor - are you using the right wealth vehicle in your business?

This is Michael Veazey from Amazing FBA - today I want to continue my mindset thoughts on travel and today we're going to talk about vehicles. What can that do for us as a metaphor in business and in life? Stay tuned.
The 10K Collective Mastermind

Hi, I'm Michael Veazey from Amazing FBA and I'm the leader of the 10k Collective Mastermind, for private label sellers and product brand owners who sell at least half a million dollars a year or more on Amazon.

Over the last five years we've had members triple their revenue in one year, grow to eight figures and one member get to a seven- figure exit. Now we're taking it to the next level. I'm excited to introduce the 10K collective Uber mastermind.

It's a unique combination of peer group support in person and online and specialist coaching.

If you're ready to take your business to seven figures and beyond, just click "Mastermind" to find out more today.
Wealth Vehicles
Hey folks, I'm currently driving a car and this makes my thoughts turn to travel and specifically within this mini-series about travel and mindset lessons in business and in life.

I'm going to talk about vehicles or things that get you from A to B. Obviously, that applies in the real physical world and it applies in as a metaphor for wealth as well.
I feel like the Milk Tray Man
Today, I'm going to be, I'm a bit like the milk tray man. If you remember the milk tray man from the eighties showing you what age we do, then he was a man and it was a man, sorry to be sexist that he used to dress up in black and act like a secret agent jumping out of trains and into cars and scaling buildings and crushing through windows on some kind of harness and then rappelling back out the window all to deliver a milk tray and the tagline was all because the lady loves milk tray.

By the way, side note what a brilliant piece of advertising that, that brand name and that product has stuck in my mind. Like a splinter because of a really powerful story, which was kind of cheesy and everyone enjoyed sharing.

But I feel a bit like the milk tray man sometimes. Today is a case in point.
My many actual vehicles for a journey
So I'm driving a car from a rental property that I own that needed some work on today to Bristol where I am going to leave the car get on my folding bike, and get on a train. At the other end of it, I'm going to get off in London, cycle on my folding bike having unfolded it, of course, and then probably finish off with a playful bit of underground trip, or rather the other way round I suspect.

And then I'll finally be staying with some friends, and then eventually tomorrow, because there's a train strike, I've got to do some work in London, and then I will eventually Jump on a bike, and then get on a train, and then get on a bike on the other end, and then I'll get back home. Whew, it's exhausting to think about it.

Well is that rational? Why am I using so many vehicles? Couldn't I have just used a car?

Yes or no.
The right vehicle for the right purpose
There's a reason for it, and sometimes there is a right vehicle for the right purpose at a certain time and place and a wrong vehicle for it. And that applies literally if you're thinking about logistics, vehicles, and, broadly speaking, forms of transport to move goods and services.

It's also quite complex and I'm moving myself around in order to deliver myself one-to-one to do some services tomorrow and if you're moving bulk cargo or a lot of widgets that you're going to sell on e-commerce, the same sort of thing applies.
Financial vehicles
It's also a metaphor for financial vehicles which is used often as a metaphor, people talk about this, the right financial vehicle for you to increase your wealth in investing.

So let's take those couple of metaphors because those are pretty productive, particularly for anyone who's in e-commerce.
