A meaning I hope this proverb does not have

You probably have heard this old saw: "In order to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs." Its usage is fairly broad, but it has the general meaning that in order to build something of significance, something else has to be destroyed. For instance, to build a house, some trees have to be cut down. It can also mean that in the course of pursuing a worthy goal, there may along the way be a few failures first.

BUT - there is one meaning I certainly hope this proverb does not have. "In order to catch all the skunks, you have to get sprayed a few times."
