I’ve heard numerous business owners ask the same question recently. They want to know when things will go back to normal.

While you can’t go back in time without a time machine, you can GET things back to normal for you and your business.

Back to normal

So, what does your version of normal look like? You’ll typically find it was the way things felt for you at a certain point in the past. Usually this is a sense of financial growth along with stability and security. Plus, a feeling that things were more predictable and consistent, less volatile.

Whatever normal means to you, write it down.

Once you have your very own, unique picture of what normal means for you and your business, you can start to build it. Your picture becomes the equivalent of an architect’s drawing. You use your picture to guide you, as you put the pieces into place, so your sense of stability, security and predictability are back to normal.

How?

While your competitors are waiting for the impossible, you get to work. You start by thinking what things you will need to have around you, to create your feeling of normality. Here are some suggestions to get you started.

Stability and security

These are radically improved when you have the required finances in place. So, decide what’s your figure. Ask yourself, how much would you need behind you, for you to have the same feeling of stability and security, as you had when things were normal? Next, get the best advice you can regarding building your wealth.

Then, make a plan. How many additional sales do you need to make, or how many new clients do you need. Even better (because it’s faster and easier), what new products or services could you develop for your existing customers or clients.

Predictability

Even when things were normal for you, you couldn’t predict everything. No one can. However, you can predict your future even better than before, by making it happen. This means planning for it and following your plan. So, what would you love to happen over the next 30-days, 6-months, or the next year, 5-years or decade? Write it down. First steps first. Make a plan.

[Note. Don’t let the idea of making a plan put you off. You do not need a perfect plan. Just a basic plan. A basic plan is a thousand times better than no plan at all].

This isn’t difficult. Seriously. You’re smarter, better looking and your jokes are funnier than people who’ve already done this.

Additional benefit

There’s a fast and extremely valuable additional benefit from working on getting things back to normal. Very shortly after you begin making your plans, you’ll start to feel less stressed and more positive.

You’ll have a greater feeling of control, because you’ll actually be in control. That feeling of positivity and being in control is invaluable. It provides you with increased optimism, greater enthusiasm and more energy.

Exactly what you need in order to succeed. (Hey, that rhymes)

6 Ideas to Make Engineering Content Actually Engaging on Social Media

Let’s be honest: marketing an engineering firm is not like marketing a coffee shop or a sneaker brand. You don’t have latte art to photograph, and you can’t run a flash sale on structural analysis. The work is complex, highly technical, and often buried underground or inside walls where no one can see it. For many firms, this leads to a social media presence that feels… beige. The feed becomes a graveyard of stock photos of people in hard hats pointing at blueprints, or dry links to technical white papers that only a Ph.D. could love. But here is the irony: engineers are literally building the world. They are solving the most complex, high-stakes puzzles in modern society. That is inherently interesting content. The problem isn’t that the work is boring; it’s that the storytelling is often too stiff. To win on LinkedIn, Instagram, or even YouTube, you have to stop posting like a textbook and start posting like a storyteller. Whether you are a niche geotechnical ...

New Analysis Reveals the States With the Highest Hit-and-Run Death Rates — California Tops the List at 11.3%

A new study from the Law Offices of James A. Welcome highlights a concerning and uneven trend in U.S. roadway safety: fatal hit-and-run crashes are rising disproportionately in certain states, particularly those with large metropolitan areas and dense traffic networks. Using National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data from 2019 to 2023, the analysis reviewed more than 186,000 fatal crashes nationwide. Of these, 13,001 involved a driver who fled the scene , meaning 7% of all fatal U.S. crashes now involve hit-and-runs . But the national figure conceals steep state-by-state differences tied to population density, congestion, and urban mobility patterns.

Nevada follows at 9.8% , and New Jersey takes third at 9.7% , marking a clear concen...
