Most business owners are working too hard for too little, and most of the advice comes from people who have never actually built anything. That gap is exactly why Paul Claessen Consulting exists.
I've been where you are. I built a business to $65M and thought I had it made, then watched it come apart. Losing it taught me more than building it ever did. I came back, did it again, and this time I understood exactly why businesses work, and why they break.
That's what I bring to your business: not theory, but hard-won judgement about what actually moves the needle. One of my clients went from working alone at home to running a team of four in under five years. Another has used me as a sounding board through fourteen years of growth. That's the kind of change I'm here for.
Because a great business should feel a certain way. Easier, once you know what to fix and in what order. Rewarding, once you set real goals and actually hit them. And a lot more fun, once you're building it alongside people who get it, instead of grinding away on your own.
Through Ignite you get the systems, the accountability, and a community of owners pushing in the same direction. I'll show you what works, back you the whole way, and hold you to it.
Ignite is exactly what I wish I'd had when I was in the thick of running a business. If you're serious about achieving freedom through your business, I'd love to help.

Business Paul built from scratch
Wherever you are, there's a way forward. Most owners recognise themselves immediately, and where you are decides what we work on first.
You want good people, and the systems to make them effective.
You want results you can count on, month after month.
You want to win on value instead of price, and get growth back.
You want to build something genuinely valuable, and get there fast.
I've worked with Paul for over 14 years. He asks the right questions, challenges thinking where needed, and creates clarity around the next steps. Not a textbook coach. His advice is grounded, commercial and genuinely useful.
My business has grown from just me working at home to an office with four staff in our short 4.5 years together. The Ignite community is fantastic, and I'm grateful to be part of it.
We started working with Paul as our business coach in January. He helped us restructure the organisation, get the right people in the right roles, and build a clear strategic plan. Six months in, the business is in a genuinely stronger position.
You get me. You also get a business behind me.
