You Can’t Delegate What Doesn’t Exist in Your ABA Business

If You’re Doing Everything, You’re Not Failing — But You Might Be Stuck

You’re sending invoices.
Scheduling sessions.
Supervising. Managing intake. Taking parent calls.

And doing a dozen other things that never even make it to your calendar.

Still, nothing feels off your plate.

Not because you’re lazy.
Not because you’re disorganized.
But because there’s nothing built that lets you let go.

You can’t delegate what doesn’t exist.

If your systems, SOPs, and structure still live in your head, then yes — you’re stuck with them.

But here’s the shift:
You don’t need to fix it all at once.
You just need to start building it while you carry it.

You’re Not Doing It Wrong — You’re Doing It Alone

If you’re carrying the whole business, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It means you’re in the part no one glamorizes: the grind.

You’re wearing every hat — not out of ego, but necessity.
Because without structure, someone has to do it.
And that someone is you.

But if you’re doing it all and not documenting anything?

You’re ensuring you’ll always be the only one who can.

If nothing’s written, nothing can be handed off.
And that’s what keeps most owners buried.

You Don’t Need to Delegate Everything — Just the First Layer

Delegation doesn’t begin with a hire.
It begins with capturing what you already do.

You don’t need a leadership team or full-time admin to get relief.
You just need to start writing it down.

Start small:

• How you invoice

• How you handle parent communication

• How you schedule new clients

• How you plan your week

Document it while you’re doing it:

• One screen recording

• One checklist

• One sentence at a time

Documenting is building.
It’s how you move from carrying everything… to sharing the weight.

How to Build While You Carry

Here’s the rhythm that works — even in chaos:

Foundation → Structure → Systems

That means:

• Every time you repeat something — document it

• Every time something breaks — capture the fix

• Every time you feel buried — pause and ask:

  What system should exist here instead?

Bit by bit, you start building beneath the work.
Eventually, the work starts feeling lighter — not because it disappeared…
…but because you finally built something that can hold it for you.

If You’re Carrying It Now, Make It Count

You don’t have to stay buried.
If you’re doing everything — you’re already moving. That’s the hardest part.

Now it’s time to start building underneath the motion.

Because just surviving is exhausting.
But building? That gives you your time — and your power — back.

Inside the eBCBA™ Odyssey, we’ll show you how to:

• Document what you do

• Create structure around it

• Build systems — even while you’re still in the weeds

So your business finally stops sitting on your shoulders — and starts standing on its own.
