Jesse Cannone has been a student of Robert Berkley's for years and was actually taking notes during this interview.

The questions are: Are you clear about what you want, is it defined, do you have a clear mission, vision and goals. What are your personal values and plans? What are your blocks, beliefs, emotional interferences? What are your resources, raw materials, space, friends, support? Anything beyond your control that will stop you? Anything in environment hold you back; associations, clutter, surroundings, tools, computers?

Know what you want and have a plan. Create enough value for other people so you personally can move to the next level. "You can have anything you want if you first help people get what they want" said Zig Ziglar.

Do Small Experiments in Life, Follow Inspiration To See What Happens, Never Know What Will Transpire: In the final segment of the planning area of getting stuck in life, Executive Coach Robert. C. Berkley talks about people having the flexibility and vigor to do small experiments. It doesn't have to be a huge one that might break the bank, but being able to see new possibilities in the midst of the action and taking those chances.

Every day we take chances by just walking out the door, so being able to see new opportunities within all the travels of the day can be the difference between failure, getting along and hitting it big. Thomas Alva Edison failed thousands of times before finding solutions that were marketable and he considered those failures successes because h know was aware of how no to do something.

Have the vision to see possibilities and have the guts to take those changes.

Rob Berkley on Planning, What Do You Want, Get Good Plan, Work It Daily, Be Flexible & Work Hard: Getting stuck in business and life often comes down to planning, lack of it, not having a good plan, failing to execute the plan, failing to work hard enough when one has a good plan. Robert C. Berkley, Executive Coach, is talking with Jesse Cannone, Founder of The Healthy Back Institute and author of The 7-Day Back Pain Cure, about various areas where people get stuck i life and planning is a key area.

Berkley emphasizes that one must know the end goals, know what you want in terms of that plan. Work every day to bring about the plan successfully and change it if roadblocks or changes in the world warrant such changes. Many people don't follow instructions and when the time comes to pull the trigger and move forward, don't hesitate and find your way to the promised land. Don't take no for an answer without finding a lesson from that NO and getting YES to your dreams.

Have a Good Plan and Execute That Plan.

Emotional & Intellectual Isolation Causes Stagnation Personally & Professionally, Need Challenging: In terms of environment, a vital part of that subject is isolation. One can get stuck life by being emotionally and intellectually isolated from support, feedback and encouragement. Loves ones and supportive professional colleagues will not only challenge one to excel but provide a much needed escape valve for feelings, success strategies, business tactics and emotional pain.

Isolation from all these can spell the death of a soul and mind, the withering away of a connection needed that God, Church, Family and Friends bring to one's life.

Environment & Associations, Find People Who Support, Lift & Inspire You & Change Your Life: Remember in Guys and Dolls when Sky Masterson, playing by Marlon Brando in the film version, blames evil companions for his gambling habits, well that is not far from the truth when Rob Berkley and Jesse Cannone talk about getting out of run by altering your environment and associations.

Right out of the gate in this segment of the interview by Jesse Cannone, Founder of The Healthy Back Institute, Rob Berkely, an Executive Coach says, "If you want to have a great life you gotta have support, period. People who will lift you up and inspire."

On top of being strong mentally with a solid will power, one still has to avoid people who won't help you advance your goals or enhance your to reach for your highest spiritual self, one who is a credit to friends, family and community. But even if you're strong minded, evil companions can drag you down, but the two are mutually exclusive.

Art of Listening by Jesse Cannone & Rob Berkley, One of Most Vital Communication Skills to Develop: A truism in history is that the most successful leaders and politicians are able to connect with people, and one of the skills that allows them to do the Art of Listening. And not only listening but taking in what one is hearing, responding with constructive feedback or just a conversation that shows one cares and is engaged in the conversation.

Successful leaders also remember names and details of people whom they might see years later, thus making them feel important enough to be remembered and that can be key to staying in power.

Jesse Cannone, founder of The Healthy Back Institute, and Rob Berkley, Executive Coach, have a heartfelt and enlightening conversation about the importance of listening as a communication skill to be learned, applied and practiced.
