Framework Development • 6 min read

You Keep Solving the Same Problems Over and Over

Here's what changed when I finally stopped recreating solutions and started building frameworks

Ugh, here I go again.

Another client call. Another challenge that sounds eerily familiar. You're already three sentences into their explanation and thinking "wait, didn't I solve this exact problem two months ago?"

But here's the thing. You can't quite remember HOW you solved it. Was it that strategic questioning sequence? Or that framework you sketched on the whiteboard? Or honestly you're not entirely sure.

So you're starting from scratch. Again. Solving a problem you've definitely solved before. Recreating a breakthrough you've already had.

"I swear I've done this before."

The Moment Everything Changed

Three months ago, I stopped pretending this was fine.

I had just finished a brilliant client session. Everything clicked. The strategic questions flowed naturally, they saw insights they'd never considered, closing felt effortless instead of forced.

And then a similar client called three weeks later.

I spent 20 minutes trying to remember what made that first conversation so effective. The breakthrough was real. My ability to recreate it? That was the actual problem.

What I Discovered About My Own Work

Here's what I realized: I had patterns. Successful approaches. Methods that worked consistently.

They just lived in my head. Inaccessible when I needed them most. Trapped behind "I know I've done this before but..."

The breakthrough wasn't discovering frameworks. It was realizing the METHODOLOGY could work across entirely different domains.

The Part That Surprised Me

A sales professional on our team saw the framework. Asked if he could try it.

"Way easier," he said after using it daily for two weeks. Started recommending it to colleagues. Eventually upgraded his ChatGPT account specifically to access it.

This wasn't about ME solving problems better. This was about extracting systematic approaches that OTHER people could apply successfully.

What Actually Changes

Blog Production

Used to take: 45 minutes of staring at blank screens
Now takes: 10 minutes with same quality
Didn't get faster at writing. Got systematic about the process.

Client Conversations

Used to: Hope I'd hit the right insights
Now: Apply SOLVE framework, breakthrough thinking emerges consistently
Didn't get smarter. Got systematic about strategic questioning.

Team Scaling

Used to be: Bottleneck. "Only Mike can handle complex stuff"
Now: Team members deploy frameworks in Spanish sales calls with consistent results
Didn't clone myself. Made expertise systematic enough to transfer.
