Paul Lemberg's clients call him the "Unreasonable Consultant." He helps them see the unnecessary limits they place upon themselves, and then encourages, cajoles, and at times flat out beats them over the head to get them to take bold, sometimes uncomfortable and often unreasonable actions that lead them to their most critical business goals.

Over the years he has worked with executives and management teams from ABN/AMRO, Accenture, Adobe, American Skandia Life, Bank of Montreal, Barclays Bank International, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, IBM, JP Morgan Chase, Lexis/Nexis, Mass Mutual, OpenText , and 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. Collectively, Paul's entrepreneurial clients have earned $240,000,000 in increased profits and proceeds from the sales of their companies.

Paul is the CEO and Chief Business Accelerator at Axcelus (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. 

Paul started his first company writing banking software with a partner in 1980. Only a few years later, Henco Research, begun with a $3,000 of credit card debt, was sold for millions to Hogan Systems. Next came Vertex Business Systems, which also built software, and was later sold to a large German bank. After a brief and premature retirement, he began his consulting 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, Be Unreasonable (McGraw-Hill) recently reached number 3 on Amazon.com's business list. He has authored two previous books: Faster Than the Speed of Change (Akiba Press, 2000) and the Earn Twice As Much With Half the Stress (Morgan James, 2005) as well as dozens of articles, which have appeared in national magazines, like Bottom Line Personal , and Training Magazine.  Over 20,000 business leaders and entrepreneurs around the world read his monthly executive e-letter, Extraordinary Results.

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.
