SP Consulting — - simplifying business - facilitating change

We’ve Moved!

by Steve Schultz on November 29, 2009

Well it’s official and took a little longer than planned. SP Consulting has now moved to www.geniusbyosmosis.com. For now, this site will still be up and operable but I will be closing all the forms so no submissions will be taken on any form from this website.

Those of you that had subscribed to my feed here, rather than transfer it or re-use it I went ahead and just set up a new one. You can get that here. http://feeds.feedburner.com/GeniusByOsmosis

So no more blog posts here. Sorry if it’s an inconvenience to anyone but my primary emails fro studentbusinessuniverse.com will still be working and I check them regularly so feel free to still contact me.

The Notorious Whitepaper. Boosting your Startup Business

June 15, 2009

One of the first jobs I ever had to do involved writing a whitepaper for a consulting firm. The whitepapers this person writes can be as much as 50 pages. Pretty crazy, huh. I have yet to see a 50-pager being offered online, but that’s not really the point either. Whitepapers are amazing for driving [...]

After President Obama’s economic stimulus plan was passed back in February, not many business owners realized the impact it would have on their cashflow issues, that is, if like many businesses, they have laid anyone off in the last six months.

Commador Obama, Stick ‘em Up

March 31, 2009

I was watching the Gladiator this weekend and it’s amazing how applicable the storyline is for us today. Commador (the merciful?), leading the Romans, was favored by the people. He won their hearts and they loved him. When the daily problems of leading the empire got in the way and the people’s support was waning, [...]
