Why Problems Keep Coming Back in Your ABA Business

If You’ve Fixed It Before… Why Are You Still Fixing It Now?

You’ve solved the schedule problem.
You’ve walked the team through billing.
You’ve clarified the intake workflow — multiple times.

And yet…

The issues come back:

• Same questions

• Same breakdowns

• Same fires

It’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because your business isn’t built to hold the fix.

The Endless Reset Cycle

You fix it. It works. Then… it unravels.

• You rebuild the schedule — and next month, it breaks again

• You run a meeting to “get everyone aligned” — but in two weeks, it’s chaos

• You train your admin — then they leave, and all the knowledge leaves with them

You’re not slacking. You’re hustling.
But without infrastructure, every solution is temporary.

You’re not solving the problem. You’re hitting snooze on it.

You’re Fixing Symptoms — Not Systems

Here’s why your fixes don’t stick:

They live in:

• Your head

• Someone’s inbox

• A Slack message

• A Zoom comment

And when that memory fades — or that person moves on — the problem reappears.

It’s not your team. It’s your system. Or lack of one.

Without documentation, every fix depends on you.
With systems, the fix becomes part of how the business runs — with or without you.

How to Make Your Fixes Stick (For Good)

Use this structure to turn your hard-won fixes into permanent assets:

Foundation → Structure → Systems

1. Foundation: Clarify what the fix solved and why it matters

2. Structure: Assign ownership — who maintains it?

3. Systems:

   • Document it clearly

   • Store it where everyone can find it

   • Train to it

   • Review it regularly

This turns your leadership from reactive to strategic.
You stop repeating yourself.
You start scaling stability.

That’s how you make growth sustainable — and actually enjoyable.

Fix It Once. Lock It In. Move On.

If your problems keep coming back, it’s not a you issue.
It’s a business memory issue.
