Thanks, Paul. Yeah, I know what you mean about Zig's 7 steps. I expanded a little on the canvas with my own wording. At the very least they both provide a framework that prompts the user/reader to break things down and build a plan. In my own experience, it's something that's worth coming back to regularly and you then get into your own flow. Appreciate the comment.

Another good read Steve, I look forward to them now. I like the canvas and can see the benefit for sure of giving the steps a template for application like this. I intend to give it a test run, once I think of the appropriate goal for it that is. I think you've distilled them well but I do find Ziglar's 7 steps to be lacking in natural flow and read more like a list of tasks than a well ordered process for success. That's most likely a personal thing - I probably shouldn't comment until I try them out.
