About Paul Maskill

Paul started his first real business at the age of 24, having had the great opportunity to learn from the best and pick up valuable skills along the way.

In four years, he was able to scale his service-based business from $0 to almost $500k in annual revenue by putting the right systems and processes in place. Soon after, he brought on a team to utilize the systems and processes. With a team in place and the business running itself on a daily basis, he had achieved the freedom that I was looking for.  He sold the business for 3x net profit and I was ready for the next opportunity.

Today he runs a successful consulting business working with local and small service-based business to find freedom through systems and structures that allow the business to scale.  This helps the business owner find true freedom in what they do.

His Promise to You: To make sure you have all of the tools you need to make more, work less and build a valuable business. He has made a proven process that works...for any service-based business.
