Stephen R. Balzac is known as “The Business Sensei.” He is the president of 7 Steps Ahead, LLC, a consulting firm specializing in helping businesses to increase revenue and build their client base. Steve is also the author of The 36-Hour Course in Organizational Development.

Steve believes most companies are not prepared to innovate and thwart smaller, faster competitors.

Steve says there are 4 traps to avoid if a company is to remain innnovative: 1) perfection 2) protecting existing markets 3) identity trap and 4) creeping box (ie. thinking too much outside the box).

There are 4 keys to innovation: 1) continuous education 2) make mistakes 3) take breaks for strategic thinking and 4) be patient.

I'm the host of a radio program on which I interview thought leaders in business, entertainment, sports and local California issues titled BRAINSTORMIN' with Billy the Brain. The program broadcasts at 10 o'clock am Pacific time each weekday on KKZZ AM 1400 or on the Internet at 1400KKZZ.com. While the show is broadcast locally in Ventura County, CA, the guests have national—and international—appeal. I have listeners from 39 states in the United States and over 100 countries. Listeners and guest agree. My interivews are thought-provoking, insightful and fun.
