Business Recipe: Your Progression Plan to Thrive

This isn’t just a checklist. It’s a simple, framework that guides you through three main steps, helping you feel calm and organized to stay focused and in control as your business grows. Whether you’re facing new challenges or uncovering hidden opportunities, this plan navigating growth easier.

Here’s how it works:

1. Gain Clarity
   • Start by identifying what’s working and where you need attention. The checklist helps you see what’s driving your progress and what’s holding you back.
   • It’s a temporary, quick fix to calm things down but is just your first step to ground yourself.
2. Uncover Hidden Challenges and Opportunities
   • After the initial clarity, the assessment digs deeper. It helps you uncover blind spots and root causes that might derail your efforts and enjoyment.
   • Understanding these hidden factors allows you to address them before they turn into bigger issues.
3. Create Momentum
   • The workbook provides practical, incremental steps to address your challenges and leverage your strengths.
   • This process helps you move forward confidently, gaining more control, focus, and a sense of direction.

The beauty of the Progression Plan is that it’s delivered step by step, empowering you to make real progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Food Recipe: Stuffed Mushrooms – Bringing It All Together With Food

Last week, we had dinner with 2 friends, who are sommeliers. I naively suggested that we have an appetizer evening to go with 2 special bottles of wine that we’ve acquired over the years – one from our travels, the other a gift.

I panicked a little after realizing that the food had to perfectly complement the wines. So, I turned to my brainstorming buddy – ChatGPT. After some back and forth, I decided on three dishes:

• Stuffed mushrooms
• Olive tapenade
• Chocolate hazelnut tart for dessert

Today, I’m sharing the mushroom recipe because it was a huge hit. Although simple, the combination of ingredients – breadcrumbs, herbs, hot Italian sausage, vermouth, and a mix of cheeses – created a dish that felt complex, yet easy to make.

Just like Your Progression Plan to Thrive, stuffed mushrooms bring different elements together to create something much greater than the sum of their parts. Each ingredient plays a role, just as each step of the Progression Plan builds on the previous one to help you move forward with confidence.

Hot Italian Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 24 large whole fresh cremini or white mushrooms (leave caps whole, see below for further instructions)
• 1 large hot Italian sausage (casing removed and crumbled)
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 leek (rinsed to remove grit), chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup dry vermouth plus 2 Tablespoons (divided)
• 6 ounces garlic-herb goat cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped finely
• 1/2 cup seeded bread crumbs, toasted (store-bought or your favourite bread)
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

Prep the Ingredients:

• Carefully clean the mushroom caps with a paper towel. Remove all dirt and grit.
• Then gently remove the mushroom stems. Use a small spoon to gently hollow out the center of each mushroom. Leave the caps whole and chop the remainder of the mushrooms you removed from the cap.
• Chop leeks and mince garlic.
• Toast seeded bread and make crumbs (or you can use store-bought bread crumbs).
• Shred parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.

Cook and Prep the Filling:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage, with a wooden spoon for about 4 minutes.
• Add the olive oil and butter to the pan, with the sausage. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the leeks, garlic, and chopped mushroom pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Pour in the vermouth to deglaze the pan and scrape any pieces that are stuck to the pan. Allow the liquid to evaporate for 1-2 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper and remove the pan from heat. Cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the goat cheese, parsley, seeded bread crumbs, and ¼ cup each of the parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. The mixture will be thick and creamy.

Fill and Bake the Caps:

Serve warm and enjoy!
