You Started Your ABA Business for Freedom. Now you can't step away.
Feb 16, 2024Intro: Remember Why You Started?
You didn’t start this to burn out.
You started your ABA business to make a difference.
To offer better care.
To create a work environment that supported your values.
To gain freedom over your time, your schedule, and your future.
But now?
You’re stuck inside a business that can’t run without you.
You’re buried in operations.
You’re overwhelmed by supervision.
You’re constantly holding everything together.
And you’ve quietly started to wonder:
“Is this what I signed up for?”
From Mission to Misery
Your intention was noble.
You didn’t build a business to get rich — you built it to do things right.
But somewhere along the way, the mission got buried under emails, scheduling, billing, credentialing, and never-ending admin.
Now, every day feels like survival.
-
You’re in the weeds.
-
You’re making every decision.
-
You’re saying “I’ll just do it” way too often.
Instead of freedom, you’ve built something that consumes every ounce of your time and energy.
You didn’t lose your mission. You just lost the structure to support it.
You Built a Job With No Exit
Let’s be honest:
If your business stops working when you stop working — that’s not a business.
That’s a job. With overhead.
You can’t take a real vacation.
You can’t unplug for a weekend.
You can’t even take a sick day without consequences.
Because you’re the scheduler.
The problem solver.
The safety net.
That’s not freedom — it’s entrapment, even if it’s meaningful work.
You built something that matters.
But if it can’t run without you, it won’t last.
What You Need Isn’t Help — It’s Structure
You don’t need another assistant.
You don’t need to “just hire more staff.”
You need to rebuild your business the right way.
Foundation → Structure → Systems
-
Clarify your outcomes
-
Define your roles
-
Assign true ownership
-
Document how things run
-
Build workflows that don’t rely on memory or proximity
That’s how you create margin.
That’s how you reclaim time.
That’s how you stop being the business — and start leading it.
If you want freedom and impact, structure is the only way to get both.
Your Business Should Serve Your Life — Not Consume It
You didn’t build this to be exhausted.
You built it to make a difference.
And that difference is still possible — but only if you create the structure that lets your business grow without grinding you down.
