The Omelette That Never Was
Adam Fox • Nov 15, 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! 🙄
Being Busy, is not a badge of honour, so stop wearing it like one 🛑
Winning an award is no longer about genuine merit but rather about who can tell the most compelling story.
In order to survive and grow, your business needs customers. To get customers, you need to promote your business.
Why did you start your business?
So, you have a client that doesn’t appreciate the value of your service or product…..
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t. which means, you have no idea where you’re actually going. You’re either on autopilot, going round and round in circles; you’re on someone else’s agenda, your clients and employees; or a combination of both. If you’re not working on your own agenda, then you’re working on someone else’s. If you’re working on someone else’s agenda, then you’re working towards someone else’s goals. It’s time to work to your agenda. Think. What really matters to you. Where do you want to be next month, next year and in ten years from now. What do you want your business and your life to be? What makes you happy, and what makes you miserable? By knowing where you want to get to, your destination, you will have programmed your internal sat nav to take you there. Now it’s down to you to make the right decisions and take the right turns to get there. Sure you’ll hit a few traffic jams and road blocks along the way which may well slow your journey down, but your sat nav will re-route you and get you back on track because it knows where you want to be.
