Why We Work

We work to put food on our client’s family’s table – by making their business great.

Work is about more than money, its about passion.
Three words:

Change – Freedom – Challenge

Paul Graham, the founder of Y Combinator (the venture capital company with the goal of “mass producing the startup”), wrote the following in an article titled “How to do what you love:”

“It was not till I was in college that the idea of work finally broke free from the idea of making a living. Then the important question became not how to make money, but what to work on. Ideally these coincided, but some spectacular boundary cases (like Einstein in the patent office) proved they weren’t identical.

The definition of work was now to make some original contribution to the world, and in the process not to starve. But after the habit of so many years my idea of work still included a large component of pain. Work still seemed to require discipline, because only hard problems yielded grand results, and hard problems couldn’t literally be fun. Surely one had to force oneself to work on them.”

It seems that many people believe that “doing what you love” means doing something easy and painless (i.e. fun).
But at Eagle Land Grace, LLC I have tried to instill the notion that what we love, what we are truly passionate about, are the really hard problems – and overcoming them.
Solving those problems requires “a large component of pain,” but it is a labour of genuine love.

That labour has three goals: Change, Freedom, and Challenge

Change is about changing the way a small business works so that the owner is running the business, instead of the business running the owner ragged.

Freedom is about freeing yourself from limiting “realities” and creating your own reality.

and
Challenge is about working for the sheer challenge of accomplishing the ultimate mission and goal of your business (and more importantly, of your life). In that case one works because they love the challenge.

My team and I want to change the way your small business works, freeing you from limiting realities and opening up the opportunity for you to focus on the real challenges you are passionate about (both in business and in your personal life).
