Temecula Valley resTauranT monThExquisitE tastEs, DEliCious PriCEs.

T he Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce (TVCC), Temecula Valley Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), the and the Te-

mecula Valley Winegrowers Association (TVWA) are proud to announce Temecula Valley Restaurant Month. Temecula Valley Restaurant Month is an incredible oppor-tunity to experience some of the best wine and food in the destination at a value they can’t get at any other time of the year. Jan-uary is also a great time to get hotel deals and experience the diversity of what our destination offers, from hot air ballooning to wine tasting at our unique award-win-ning wineries.

Temecula Valley Restaurant Month is part of California Restaurant Month, desig-nated by the California Travel & Tourism Commission (CTTC). More than 20 desti-nations across California, from the desert and coast to wine country and High Sierra, are hosting restaurant weeks and month this January. “California is the top U.S. des-tination for culinary travel, so with these deals there’s never been a better time for foodies to visit California,” said Caroline Beteta, CTTC president & CEO. “Since we produce 90 percent of American wine and more than 400 agricultural crops, we attract some of the greatest chefs who en-joy creating with the freshest ingredients

– which wets visitors’ appetites for more. Enjoying the California foodie lifestyle this January is a New Year’s resolution we can all stick to! ” For more information about California Restaurant Month, visit www.visitcalifornia.com/restaurantmonth.

The Chamber’s goal for Restaurant Month is to showcase Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country as a culinary des-tination, the TVCC’s is to stimulate business and increase revenue for local restaurants, while the TVWA’s is to promote the making and growing of quality wine and wine grapes in the Temecula Valley. “Last year travelers in California spent $21.3 billion on food and beverages, more than any other spending segment and constituting 26 percent of all visitor spending last year” (Source: Dean Runyan Associates), Beteta said.

So here’s how it works. There is no fee to participate in restaurant month, but you must be a current member of the CVB or the TVCC. Participating restaurants will have Prix Fixe menus with offers such as $15 lunch (2+ courses) and $20, $25, $30 Dinner (3+courses), Two for One Entrée, Compli-mentary Appetizer or Dessert, Signature Dish or Specialty Item, or a $30 menu op-tion. Every restaurant participating in res-taurant month will have a restaurant month logo displayed to let customers know they are offering special discounts. Also, every

participating restaurant will be listed on Te-mecula Valley’s Restaurant Month site, www.restaurantmonth.org. For non-members in-terested in participating in this promotional opportunity, contact the CVB or TVCC for membership information.

Locals and visitors are encouraged to par-ticipate in restaurant month by visiting www.restaurantmonth.org, watch for the restaurant month logos at participating restaurants. For information on restau-rants’ special offers and discounts, please refer to the Restaurant Month site.

Temecula Valley resTauranT monThsomEthing DiffErEnt….

T o dine at Sorrel Restaurant/Bistro is to dine the right way. Our food is made in-house, from scratch, with ingredients from local farmers and the prices reflect the needs of Temecula. We don’t possess the chain restaurant mentality. Here at Sorrel, we want

our guests to experience great food through a myriad of unique flavors born from a richly authentic family tradition. Our menu boasts a combination of traditional, modern and creative styles of cooking from all across Europe. Chef/Owner Adrian Halmagean takes simple ingredients and turns them into artfully creative dishes. With our seasonally changing menu and weekly specials, there will always be something innovative and fresh to try each and every time you come in. Chef Adrian keeps the menu familiar but wants to show people around here that there is definitely something more out there to try. Our Flame Grilled Pork Chop, Porchetta Sandwich, and Spanish Seafood Paella are just a few of the favorite dishes our regulars can’t get enough of.

Enjoying a glass of wine or a draft beer is not a difficult task here at Sorrel. We offer 13 Imported and Domestic Micro-brews including Eel River Organic Amber Ale, Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils and Alesmith Horney Devil to name a few. Thirsty Thursdays is always a great way to spend time with friends after work with our Micro-brew feature of the week for just $4.00. With an 18 ounce pour of Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA and our Fish & Chips Lunch Special, you’ll be out the door for under $15.00. A great way to spend a Thursday afternoon. But if a leisure Sunday is more your style, then make sure to come in for our house-made Sangria for also $4.00. Sangria Sundays are always a hit.

Our boutique-styled wine list consists of small production wineries, usually no more than 300 cases produced a year. The list is selected for a wide range of palettes to suit a variety of guests. The Steltzner Claret pairs beautifully with our Cassoulet and the Inception Chardonnay with the Roasted Beet Salad is always a crowd pleaser.

It’s almost a must to end your meal with one of our delectable desserts. Our Basil-Infused Panna Cotta is a house specialty with it’s wonderfully refreshing, sweet flavor. The Roasted Butternut Squash Fritters is an excellent size to share with friends or family. Accompanied with a French-Press of Champagne Raspberry Hot Tea is delightful on a cold day.

Whether you are craving the flavors once savored on a European trip, or want a place to gather with friends, our house-made creations and alluring, artful ambiance will take you on an old-world escape.

Sorrel Restaurant/Bistro is located in the Bel Villagio Center, at 41377 Margarita Road, near the back side of the Promenade Mall. We are open Tuesday through Sunday, 11AM to 10PM for lunch and dinner. For reservations or live entertainment schedule, contact the restaurant at 951-296-3372. For weekly updates and specials, visit us on Facebook or at www.sorrelbistro.com..

Ingredients:5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil3 tablespoons butter1 large carrot finely, diced1 medium sweet onion diced1 stick celery, finely diced3 cloves garlic, minced1 pound beef, ground1 pound pork, ground1/4 pound pancetta finely diced1/2 tube tomato paste2 tablespoons porcini mushroom paste1 cup milk1 cup dry white wineSea Salt and Freshly ground black pepperParmesan, for grating

DirectionsUsing an 8-quart, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and garlic and sweat over medium heat until the vegetables are translucent and soft but not browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the beef, pork, and pancetta and stir into the vegetables. Add the meat over high heat, stirring to keep the meat from sticking together until browned. Add the porcini mushroom paste, tomato paste, milk, and wine and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and remove from the heat.

When ready to use, cooked pasta should be added to a sauce pan with the appropriate amount of hot Bolognese so that the pasta is evenly coated.


Temecula Valley resTauranT monThtEmECula’s own tastE of irElanD

Tucked away in the Wolf Creek shopping center is an authentic Irish pub, built and shipped over piece by piece straight from Dublin, Ireland. Killarney’s Restaurant and Irish Pub invites you to enjoy its

friendly atmosphere and ambiance.

Killarney’s is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, from 11am till 1:30am. Happy Hour is Mon-Fri, 3:00pm till 6:30 pm. The Restaurant offers some unique specials: Recession Sunday includes an appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert from house selections for $19.99; $5 Burger Monday; Taco Tuesday includes $1 street tacos, $2.50 Coronas and $2.75 Margaritas; Wednesdays has Prime Rib dinner for $9.99.

Killarney’s kitchen uses all freshly prepared ingredients using our own original recipes. From intriguing appetizer items including Harp Beer Battered Shrimp and an Irish Quesadilla to a varied selection of soups and salads, some with a fun spin like the Irish Cobb or the Irish Potato Soup. The entrees vary from traditional Irish fare; Shepherd’s Pie, Guinness Beef Stew, Chicken Boxty, Bangers & Mash, Fish & Chips and Corned Beef and Cabbage, as well as juicy hamburgers and pasta dishes. All desserts are freshly made on site and are scrumptious in their own right!

In celebration of Temecula Valley Restaurant Month Killarney’s has come up with a three-course meal for only $20 all January long. The first course starts with a bold Tomato Blue Cheese Bisque soup. Followed by the main course, an 8oz Rib Eye Steak with a Chocolate Porter sauce, over roasted Rosemary and Parmesan Cheese Potatoes accompanied with seasonal vegetables. The final course is a fresh and delicious Raspberry Tart.

Killarney’s boasts 17 beers on tap. They consist of traditional imported beers from around the world including Guinness, Smithwicks, and Harp as well as diving into craft beers such as Lagunita’s, Hangar 24, Lost Abbey and Stone to name a few. Craft beer and food pairings are held throughout the year with renowned brewers exciting our taste buds.

Killarney’s newest and currently most exciting addition to the Pub is the self-service draft system that has been recently installed. Killarney’s is the first in California to install the Draft Master, a tabletop tap system made in Ireland that lets bar-goers pour their own drafts. The LCD screen shows one how many pints are poured right at your dinner table. The portable Draft Master, seats up to eight people, one tap will be dispensing Guinness at each table. The other tap will have a varied selection of beers. Three tables have been installed in Temecula and two tables at the Riverside location. Only at Killarney’s can you pull your own pint of Guinness!

Temecula Valley resTauranT monThforagE, BuY, Eat loCal.whY BothEr anD whY DoEs it mattEr…

D uring World War II, victory gardens supplied as much as 40 percent of the produce Americans ate. Food was pur-

chased from local purveyors that grew or made their wares- locally. Today, we are on such a fast track, that we have little or no idea where the food we are eating comes from. If we slow down just a bit, take a look around our lush ‘food’ region, we would discover many faces, stories behind much of our local EATs.

FOOD… we all love it, and need it. It’s better when fresh, real and local. When it comes from the farm to your hands to your plate, all within 24 hours-your taste buds wake up! So to answer why local mat-ters, I took a stroll through town to dig up some dirt on our Local Food Scene. What I discovered was a Mecca of artisan delights, and I’m not just speaking of eateries, yet a whole eclectic array of food & wine fanta-sia! Starring olive oil producers, jam mak-ers, fungi foragers, chocolatiers, bakers, cheese artisans, saucier’s, boutique wine makers & recently, craft breweries.

With all of this right here in our own backyard-why would we look elsewhere? Mostly because we are not aware, so as a member of the Slow Food movement here in our valley I am on a mission to list and promote ‘local artisans’. These will be fea-

tured on Slow Food Temecula Valleys Web site (www.temeculavalleyslowfood.org) so you too, can discover Local EATS!

I feel fortunate to be involved in this aspir-ing food scene! From the new Super Club series produced by E.A.T Marketplace- to the new Beer-paired Dinners crafted by Black Market Brewery and local slow food-ie, Rose Watson. Not to forget the upcom-ing - infamous 100 Mile Dinner, February 5, at Ponte Winery, sponsored by Slow Food Temecula Valley. Featured at these suppers, all things LOCAL-you get to eat with the farmers, olive oil producer, wine maker, brewer and cooks-sharing in the heart of their stories and craft.

By supporting locals that make locally produced items, we collectively stimulate our own economy, which serves each of us. With help from ‘Molly Watson Local Food’s Blog’ I’ve listed 6 points of why EATING LOCAL is important:

1. Local Food is fresher and simply tastes better.

Local food is fresher and tastes better than food that has been trucked or flown in from thousands of miles away. Think you can’t taste the difference? You’re welcome to visit me at EAT for a food sensory test, blindfolds and all!

2. Local Foods Usually Have Less Environmental Impact.

Those thousands of miles some food is shipped, leads to a big carbon footprint. Look for farmers who follow organic, sus-tainable growing practices and have a seal of approval- letting you know that they are local growers- and NOT purchasing their food from markets, then pawning it off as local farm grown!

3. Local Foods Preserve Green Space & Farmland.

The environmental question of where your food comes from is bigger than its “carbon footprint.” By buying foods grown that are raised closer to where you live, you help maintain farmland and green space in your area- not to mention you keep farm-family heritage alive.

4. Local Foods Promote Food Safety.

The fewer steps there are between your food’s source and your table the less chance there is of contamination. Also, when you know where your food comes from and who grows it, you form a con-nection. During the Egg debacle this past summer- knew exactly who my eggs were from-, which I purchased at Delany’s 100 Mile Market in Old Town.

cOver story


5. Local Foods Support Your Local Economy.

Money spent with local farmers, growers, locally-owned purvey-ors and restaurants all stays close to home, working to build your local economy instead of being handed over to a corporation in another city, state, or country. Since the food moves through fewer hands, more of the money you spend tends to get to these locals!

To make the biggest local economic impact with your food bud-get, seek out producers who pay their workers a fair wage and practice social justice in their business.

6. Local Foods Create Community.

Knowing where your food is from connects you to the people who raise and grow it. Instead of having a single relationship--to a big supermarket or chain restaurant--you develop smaller connections to more food sources: vendors at the farmers’ market, the local cheese & olive oil shop, your favorite butcher, the mom and pop market that sells local eggs, local café (bravo) that roasts coffee.

Why Forage, Buy, Eat Local? It connects you to a larger world within your own community. Keep the conversations of the table strong, take time to break bread with those you love. We have an amazing food scene- go out and take a bite, and savor all that is local!

social media opTimizaTionthink kEYworDs to inCrEasE Your onlinE visiBilitY

M ost everyone understands the need for website Search Engine Optimization (SEO); but what about the need for Social Media

Optimization (SMO?) Make no mistake, the same search engines that rank your website, also ranks your social media content. So, why wouldn’t you want to optimize your social media and increase your visibility?

Build it and they will come” does not apply to social media; at least not without some marketing effort on your part. For this: think keywords. Then comes the question of which is more effective: Long Tail or Short Tail keywords? The answer is both, but dependent on the specific medium you are using.

In general, short tail keywords (1-3 words long) work best for creating interest and driving traffic. On the other hand, long tail keywords (4 words or more) rank better for conversations. When building your keyword strategy for social media marketing, tailor your post to each medium. For example, you could be sabotaging your SMO efforts by blasting a post from your blog out to your personal and company Facebook pages, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Each of these medium requires a different approach for optimization.

FaCEBookFacebook is the quintessential social media channel, so if you are using it and your goal is to engage with visitors, you’ll find that long tail keywords are more effective and efficiently indexed by search engines. Facebook fan pages allow a high degree of interaction, so you have the opportunity to use long tail phrases in your conversations about your business. Due to Facebook’s viral nature, long tail keywords used in these conversations can result in substantially higher search engine rankings.

I prefer Facebook as a social and online networking tool, so I pretty much ignore the advertisements. However, many corporate marketers and vendors are showing excellent results by using Facebook Social Ads – those small sidebar ads on the right hand side of the

page. By design, there is an extremely limited space, so the key to success is to identify and zero in on a highly specified target market and then use carefully defined short tail keywords to deliver your message.

LInkEDInLinkedIn allows you to make your profile available for indexing, so when optimized, LinkedIn profiles tend to rank high in Google search results. One of the most important things you can do is to create a public profile and select “Full View.” Be sure to customize your public profile’s URL to be your actual name and not the default URL. This will increase your visibility in search engines, especially if you include your profile link on the web wherever possible, such as including your link in your signature whenever you post a blog entry, or comment on someone else’s blog.

LinkedIn also lets you publicize websites. In addition to the pre-selected categories such as “My Website” and “My Company”, you can select “Other” and modify the name of the link. You can even link to your personal blog and include your name and long tail keyword description of the link. Lastly, don’t hesitate to fully complete your profile and list all past work experience.

TwITTERTwitter is in a class of its own. Keep in mind that it is real-time and consists of concise blurbs of 140 characters. Pithiness is king.

If you do use Twitter as a tactic, there are two types of keywords on Twitter. The actual keyword as it exists, such as “computers” and the hash tag “#computers”. Searching for either the keyword or the hash tag will display a different set of results. It goes without saying tweets being short; your best bet is to use short tail keywords. Consider getting a branded shortened URL, because Twitter lets you tag on an additional keyword or two at the end of your URL, which will maximize your keywords and SMO.

YoUTUBEIs YouTube part of your social marketing strategy? Remember that Google owns YouTube and accesses it continually – thousands of times a day. The most important thing to remember about optimizing your YouTube content is that the videos are invisible to search engines, so you must use text to optimize your videos. Quick tips for optimizing: Include relevant links in your YouTube profile page. Include long tail keywords in the video name and use the word “video”. Write a unique description including your keyword phrase and include a URL at the beginning of the description. Include a full transcript of the video whenever possible. Since search engines don’t see videos, the transcript will be the only content search engines will see. Use captions and automation features provided by YouTube. Add notes and subtitles directly over the video. Tag your videos with keywords. Encourage sharing by opening commenting and embedding. Take advantage of thumbnails and if possible, try to manipulate your video so that a compelling message or image appears at one of the thumbnail marks.

mETRICSIn addition to leveraging your keywords, you will want to monitor effectiveness, tweak those keywords until you get it right, and stay on top of the metrics. Social Media Optimization is an ongoing process. View this www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IRfa2-CS2g&feature=player_embedded”video for learning more about keywords.

What initiatives have you taken to optimize your social media efforts?

V alley Young Professionals’ last Lunch & Learn of the year proved to be a success! “The State of Our Youth” was discussed by guest speakers Aaron Adams, Assistant City Manager of Temecula;

Maryann Edwards, CEO Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest County and City of Temecula Councilmember, along with Kyra Pelachik from the Southwest Family YMCA. Over 20 attendees engaged in great conversation, including question and answer, about today’s youth and the various programs the City of Temecula, Boys & Girls clubs and the YMCA have to offer. Assistant City Manager Aaron Adams shared on the Youth Master Plan, the Mayor’s Youth Employment Expo, College Fair and a special needs program recently introduced to the City and spearheaded by Temecula’s former Mayor Mike Naggar. VYP’s guest speakers shared on the benefits of utilizing youth interns and volunteers in the workplace and each panelist agreed this can add great value to a small or large business alike as today’s youth is “fearless and well advanced” said Aaron Adams. Maryann and Kyra went on to share the heart behind these great organizations (Boys & Girls Club, YMCA) that continue to support our community and its families offering solutions to low income families, special needs, sports activities and summer camps to name a few.

TemeculathE nExt 20 YEars

T he City of Temecula has embarked on an exciting process called the Quality of Life / Temecula 2030 Master

Plan which will be used as a road map and planning tool for the next twenty years. This plan will be a living document that defines the City’s long-term goals in a variety of areas, including but not limited to sustainability of quality of life, continual maintenance of public infrastructure, public safety, higher education, business retention and attraction, economic development and fiscal stability. As Temecula continues to grow and mature, the Temecula 2030 Plan will be a crucial part of not only maintaining our quality of life, but to take a proactive approach and identify specific community needs, goals, and possible improvements. It will also allow the City to gain the community’s vision about where the City should be headed in order to maintain the great quality of life enjoyed by our citizens and businesses.

Temecula 2030 is driven by the Quality of Life City Council Subcommittee consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Ron Roberts and Council Member Chuck Washington. The Subcommittee provides policy guidance and direction as the plan is drafted and developed. Also, the City has obtained Applied Development Economics, Inc. to assist with the Temecula 2030 Plan facilitation.

As part of this process, a Blue Ribbon Committee representative of the community with specific demographics and perspectives was appointed. The categories for the positions included: a senior citizen, a college student, a high school student, faith-based organization, higher education, Temecula Valley Unified School District (K-12 Education), Medical Distribution Company, Medical/Manufacturing/Life Science Industry, Healthcare, Tourism/Hospitality, Economic Development Professional, and a Retail Professional. There was also one appointee for each City Council member, as well as, the City Council Subcommittee assigned to this advisory panel. The Blue Ribbon Committee is working to articulate a vision and goals to be included in the Quality of Life / Temecula 2030 Master Plan. Representatives from key partnering agencies are also participating and providing important input on this plan and vision for Temecula’s future.

There have been several community meetings held throughout the City in order to get input from Temecula citizens. Questions included where do they see Temecula in 2030? What would they like to see in Temecula? What do they like and want to protect about their current quality of life in Temecula? These are important questions for this process and everyone’s opinion is critical. For more information on this project, please visit www.temecula2030.org.

T he Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce tracked 31 poten-tial new state laws in 2010 that might have an impact on the re-

gional business community. The Chamber, through their regional business advocacy coalition, the Southwest California Leg-islative Council (SWCLC), discussed and took a position in support or opposition on each potential new law and communi-cated those positions with state legislators throughout 2010. The SWCLC focused its efforts on some of the most controversial issues impacting business such as costly wage claim proposals and restrictive gov-ernment regulations on business.

“This is the second perfect record from our legislators since we started holding our elected officials accountable by publishing our vote records in 2005,” said Alice Sul-livan, President and CEO of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. “We will continue to work hard tracking potential new laws that are both positive and nega-tive towards the business community in 2011. Next year we look forward to another healthy legislative year as we continued to

help revive our local economies and pre-pare for a new administration at the top level of our state,” continued Sullivan.

During the 2010 legislative session, the Chamber lobbied local legislators to OP-POSE 14 potential new laws and SUP-PORT 17 potential new laws. Each of the Chamber’s official positions on each of the 31 bills are also made available online at www.SouthwestCA.biz and will continue to act as a resource to raise awareness on particular harmful new laws by issuing call to action eALERTs via the advocacy web-site. The Chamber looks forward to anoth-er productive legislative session in 2011.

To reach the “percentage FOR pro-jobs legislation,” the Chamber tallied the num-ber of times our legislators voted for the Chamber’s position and divided that total by the total number of potential new laws in which each legislator voted. A potential new law is not figured into the vote record percentage if a legislator, for whatever reason, did not vote or if the potential new laws died before the legislator had an op-portunity to vote.

Log on to www.SouthwestCA.biz for the SWCLC full voting record, more legisla-tive information and how you can partici-pate in the advocacy efforts of the Temec-ula Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Chamber Fights for Temecula valley Businessesat all lEvEls of govErnmEntIn January 2005, the Temecula Valley, Murrieta, and Lake Elsinore Valley Chambers of Commerce formed the Southwest California Legislative Council. In January 2009, the SWCLC added the surrounding chamber of Wildomar. Together, the SWCLC serves as the regional business advocacy coalition of these four chambers.

The mission of the SWCLC is to provide a basis for the four chambers of commerce to act on local, state and federal government issues to secure a favorable and profitable business climate for the region. The official website of the SWCLC, www.SouthwestCA.biz, is dedicated to interconnecting all functions of the SWCLC’s advocacy program. The Web site tracks and publishes pertinent legislation and issues that may impact the economic vitality of the region and businesses in Temecula.

The Chamber urges its members to attend a future meeting of the SWCLC in order to better understand and learn how the Chamber is fighting for your business throughout the Southwest California region and at the State Capitol. The SWCLC will meet at the Southwest Riverside County of Realtors’ Office at 26529 Jefferson Ave, Murrieta in 2011. Call the Chamber for the 2011 SWCLC meeting schedule.

TemeculaBusinEss tax tiP for 2011

W hat is one of the most pleasant thoughts a business owner may have during their busy day? Consider the thought

“I can’t wait to see my Tax Advisor next year!” Yeah right, paying taxes is the last thing on a business owners’ mind, much less having “THE TAX CONVERSATION” with their tax person. So here are a few tips to make the conversation more interesting next year. Better yet, do some planning and use some of these tax benefits to lower your tax bill and your tax person may think that you were actually paying attention during your last visit.

This is a great time to review your books and maximize opportunities to reduce your taxable income. Here are a few tax law changes that may benefit you as a business owner in 2011.

Small Employer Health Insurance Credit. Helps small businesses afford cost of covering employees. Must offer health insurance for the first time or maintain existing coverage and the business owner must pay half the cost. Twenty-five employee limits, average employee wages no more than $50,000. Self-employed individuals are not counted as employees.

Self-employment Health Insurance cost can reduce Self Employment earnings in 2010. Pay $5,000 for health insurance and reduce your profits by $5,000.

Section 179 expense with a 5 hundred thousand limit and 2 million dollar phase-out threshold for 2010 and 2011. The Section 179 expense allows a business owner to take the full depreciation expense in the year of purchase rather than over a period of years. Examples of items that must be depreciated are office equipment, computers, and office furniture.

Certain Real Property Expensing up to $250,000; to include Leasehold improvements, Restaurant property and retail improvements.

Vehicle Depreciation limit increased by $8,000 for new vehicle purchased and place in service in 2010.

Business startup expense deductions have increased to $10,000 for 2010.

Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act:

Employers exempt from paying employer share of Social Security taxes on wages paid in 2010 if employment began after 2/3/2010 and before 1/11/2010. New employee must have been previously employed and does not replace other employees. There is a $1,000 credit to employers who retain unemployed workers for at least 52 consecutive weeks.

Consider contributing to your retirement plan to reduce business income and federal tax. Total contributions to 401K plans can be up to a maximum of $49,000 including employee contributions, matching, profit sharing and bonuses. Tax deductions are based on your business structure. Check with your Tax Advisor for maximum benefits to your business structure.

Don’t forget about the most common business expenses such as business use of your car, business supplies, gifts, travel, continuing education and business meals.

Finally, for the best tax results year after year, create a tax plan that fits your business and make sure you maximize every opportunity available to keep more of the profits your hard work produces.

buSineSS newsTimeYour most PrECious CommoDitY

H ow many times have you sat back in your office chair, looked at the clock, and dreamed of adding a 25th, 26th or 27th hour to the day? We’ve all been in that position at one time or

another. Our instincts tell us that working harder is the only answer that makes any sense.

I completely disagree.

I think we all have to work smarter.

I would be the first to admit it: it’s an ugly secret. Most business professionals who are being honest with you will admit their time management skills need some improvement. A busy Monday morning rolls around and the following happens: you’re due in the office at 8:00 a.m., but your daughter has an issue at daycare, so you show up for work at 8:20 a.m.; a report is due for the 10:00 a.m. sales meeting, but your co-worker (who needs to provide data for the report) calls in sick, so the meeting is rescheduled for tomorrow; your 30 minute scheduled lunch turns into an hour and 15 minute protracted dalliance because the chef at the local restaurant had to remake your meal; while researching a key competitor’s product online, your internet modem crashes for two hours, postponing a critical email until tomorrow morning. Your day ends with an anticipated 20-minute commute home that turns into an hour-and-a-half ride down memory lane because of an earlier traffic accident further up the busy freeway. As you drive home you realize that you didn’t accomplish 20% of what you had hoped you would have done this Monday. You’re agitated. . . you’re frustrated. . . you find yourself rehearsing the eloquent excuse you will sheepishly offer your boss the next day. Do you need some time management advice?

Here is what you need to do: 1. Get a calendar. 2. Create a short list of priorities that must be accomplished daily. These items will be given high priority and will be addressed every single day. 3. Create a separate list of secondary tasks with lower priority. These tasks will only be addressed when time permits throughout the week. 4. Get in the habit of leaving for work at hour earlier than normal. This will give you the cushion time you are currently dreaming about. 5. Consider bringing a bag lunch to work. An incredible amount of money and time is wasted in restaurants during the business day.

6. Using your priorities and secondary tasks as guides, populate your calendar with an eye for scheduling meetings 2 – 4 weeks in advance (or as early as possible). 7. Establish a daily routine that carries you through your priorities and secondary tasks. This routine will become a habit that will naturally improve your time management skills. 8. Schedule short blocks of time on your calendar to address last minute issues that arise unexpectedly during the work day. These “open blocks” will soak up those pesky last minute assignments that will tempt you to deviate from your routine. 9. Once your routine is established, be rigid in your earnestness to stick to it. Deviating from your established routine will put you right back where you were: wasting precious time. 10. Need more help? Call a professional. There are people out there willing to help you do this for your entire company—for a fee, of course.
