Paul Lemberg’s clients call him “the unreasonable consultant” because he helps them see the unnecessary limits they place upon themselves, and encourages, cajoles, and at times beats them over the head to take bold, sometimes uncomfortable and often unreasonable actions to reach their most critical business goals. What results do they get from taking such drastic measures? Sky-high profits, sustainable revenue growth, systems breakthroughs and greater life satisfaction.
Over the years he has worked with executives and management teams from Accenture, ABN/AMRO, Adobe, American Skandia Life, Bank of Montreal, Barclays, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, IBM, JP Morgan Chase, Lexis/Nexis, Mass Mutual, OpenText , SAIC, as well as hundreds of companies whose names you'll never know, but whose owners have used Paul's advice to earn millions and tens of millions.
Paul is CEO of Axcelus Consulting, (formerly Quantum Growth Coaching), that unreasonably claims to be the world's only systematic business acceleration program helping entrepreneurs and executives rapidly create faster-growing, profitable, and sustainable businesses for More Profits and More Life. He is also the Executive Director of The Cras Tibi Foundation (www.crastibifoundation.org), a non-profit that raises funds and makes grants to microfinance organizations operating in developing countries.
In 1980, Paul started his first business with a partner and $3,000 of credit card debt, which built mainframe software systems for international banks. A few years later, he sold it for millions, and used the cash to start a second bank software company; in 1988, Vertex Business Systems was sold to the venerable West Deutsche Landesbank. After a brief and premature retirement, he began his consulting, coaching, speaking and writing career.
Paul graduated from the University of Buffalo with a fine arts degree, studied at New York University for an MBA, and is completing his PhD at California Coast University. He is a member of American MENSA, which he says he joined simply because he could. His newest book from McGraw-Hill is Be Unreasonable, How To Achieve Extraordinary Business Success by Standing Conventional Wisdom On Its Head. His previous books include Faster Than the Speed of Change (Akiba Press, 2000) and Earn Twice As Much With Half the Stress (Morgan James, 2005).
