The Omelette That Never Was

Adam Fox • 15 November 2021

So I went to cook myself some eggs for breakfast this morning. 🍳

I had a little accident and let’s just say, I didn’t get my eggs…🤦🏻‍♂️

But then I remembered how much LinkedIn loves a good analogy! 😜


So here it is:


In your daily life as a business owner, you have many tasks. Some you love 🥰, and some you loathe! 🙄


Let’s say you have an important goal or task. Sometimes you have to do unpleasant things in order to complete that task or meet that goal. You can say you had to break a few eggs 🥚 (those are the unpleasant things) to make the omelette (that is the task or goal).


You’ve all heard the phrase: “You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs”.


This means it is impossible to get something important done without creating a problem for someone else. So, the result may be good for you, but not for everyone.🤯


You need to judge each of these tasks and assess the eggs that you need to break (People you might upset). 😭


Is the result of making the omelette worth breaking these eggs? 🤔


If it is, you need to do it. 👊🏼


If it’s not, you need to find another way to make your omelette. 🤷🏻‍♂️


Whatever happens, if you know you need to make an omelette in your business, you need to find a way to make it. 🥚


Have a great week. 😜


If you’d like some help figuring out how to make your omelettes ensuring you break only the eggs that need braking, give me a shout. 🗣


P.S. kitchen towel is useless when it comes to cleaning up eggs! 🙄
