About Paul Lemberg

Paul Lemberg helps business leaders make the decisions that unlock exponential growth.

 For over two decades, Paul has worked at the intersection of strategy, psychology, and execution—helping founders and executives see the constraints that are actually limiting their growth, and then helping to systematically remove those constraints.

 

His clients have added more than $550 million in profit over the last several years. Not revenue. Profit. The kind that shows up in bank accounts and changes lives.

 

Background

 

Paul's been an entrepreneur since age 27. After three years as a software programmer in Corporate America, he launched his first company with a partner and $3,000 in credit card debt, selling it three years later to a publicly traded company in a deal worth just under $9 million. He sold his second company to a large German bank five years later. He's also started a successful sales training company, a business coaching franchise (which failed spectacularly), and several other ventures.

He's consulted with Fortune 100 companies including Cisco, Adobe, IBM, Goldman Sachs, and Accenture—but his real passion is working with privately held businesses, from startups to companies doing $20 million in revenue.

 

The Work

 

Paul's approach focuses on how leaders make decisions, what those decisions quietly reinforce, and how those patterns shape outcomes over time. He's developed several proprietary systems:

 

Formula 5/XL – a methodology guaranteed to help business owners 2x-10x their companies through a series of systematic, low-risk changes

Sales Voodü – an outbound lead generation program for building and managing high-performance sales teams

Turnkey Your Business – a system for transforming companies into duplicatable, scalable operations

Entrepreneur Alchemy Academy – advanced group coaching combining proven scaling strategies with unconventional approaches to performance and decision-making

 

Recognition

 

Paul is the author of four books, including the McGraw-Hill bestseller Be Unreasonable, plus Faster Than the Speed of Change, Earn Twice as Much with Half the Stress, and The New Shift Manifesto.

 

He's worked directly with Jay Abraham, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, among others, and has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, CNN, CNBC, and Good Morning America, as well as numerous radio networks.

 

Education

MBA from NYU Stern School of Business,

BFA in Fine Arts for the University of Buffalo

 

Beyond Business

 

Paul is a member of Mensa (which he joined, he says, to pump up his bio and compensate for not going to Harvard.) He's also an art photographer, blues/rock guitarist and bass player, and practices his own brand of chaos magic and mysticism.
