The chicken or the egg?


The chicken or the egg causality dilemma is commonly stated as "which came first: the chicken or the egg?". ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿฅš โ € โ € The dilemma stems from the observation that all chickens hatch from eggs and all chicken eggs are laid by chickens. โ € โ € "Chicken-and-egg" is a metaphoric adjective describing situations where it is not clear which of two events should be considered the cause and which should be considered the effect, to express a scenario of infinite regress, or to express the difficulty of sequencing actions where each seems to depend on others being done first. (Thanks Wikipedia)โ € โ € You know you need to grow, but you canโ€™t even get to the surface long enough to take a breath, let alone think about being strategic. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธโ € โ € But by not making space to do the work that matters...youโ€™re also squashing growth. It doesnโ€™t have a chance - because there is no space for it. The mindset shift occurs when you transition from a practitioner in your craft, to an entrepreneur. And THIS is the key to growth. โ € โ € Maybe youโ€™ve already done this, but you still donโ€™t know what kind of strategic work you need to be doing. ๐Ÿ™‡๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธโ € โ € The few hours (sometimes less) youโ€™ll spend per week on this - has the potential to DOUBLE your revenue (One of our entrepreneurs, Josh, did this). โ € โ € This is a call to stop the madness - stop the hamster wheel that you currently feel youโ€™re on - take these small chunks of time each week to breath new life into you, so that you can march forward and CRUSH it. โ € โ € You are an entrepreneur, and you will do more than survive or crank it out one more day, youโ€™ll literally come alive by doing this work. You werenโ€™t meant to stay where you are, youโ€™re meant to reach new heights. โ €
