Some Monday motivation as you step back into the work week:

"Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going." - Sam Levenson

We enjoyed these quick, simple tips for being intentional each day, rather than getting caught in a grind of "the same."

Transform Your Day With This 10-Minute Routine When You First Arrive at the Office Here's how focusing on the present before moving into the day's goals can change your outlook.

When building a business budget, get yourself in a flexible frame of mind. Setting a budget, say for a year at a time, that you're unwilling to tweak could be a detriment to your finances, rather than the help that's intended.

Look over your budget monthly with your team, and be willing to make smart changes, based on the expenses and income your company is looking at -- particularly by taking a realistic look at your sales predictions. How much will you really be bringing in over the coming month?

"The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one." - Oscar Wilde

Personally, we love our job. (Yes, even now, just after tax busy season ... well, perhaps we love it especially because it's AFTER the busy season!)

May we make a suggestion? Instead of picking a brand new, shiny toy to buy with that proverbial "wad of cash," consider your financial picture as a whole. Is there a move you could make with this money that would benefit you in the long run? A few ideas:

- Make an extra mortgage payment
- Pay down your student loans
- Set aside what you'll need to pay your property tax at the end of the year
