So you hire new talented people, train them up, teach them to work together

Over a scant few months… Then you temporarily lose one of the key employees. Changes your developing business plan but you can’t shut down so you juggle the employees teaching new roles, understanding there will be a setback. Now you enter your busy season and another employee, a dependable show up every day type, is lost for an extended period! Reshuffle, retrain, Hope to develop some kind of flow to the business. Now you get an employee back, reshuffle, reestablish flow… Etc… etc… As a business owner, which I was, this is a nightmare of biblical proportions!
