    Built From Scratch, Left Alone: Why Staff Loyalty Is Failing Entrepreneurs — and How It’s Hurting Cash Flow

    You trained them. You trusted them. You built from nothing — together. Then they left. In this honest episode of Smart Growth, we talk about the silent struggle many entrepreneurs face: staff who come, learn, take what they need, and walk away — leaving founders stranded. We unpack why loyalty is declining, how poor people systems drain cash flow, and what entrepreneurs can do to protect their business, rebuild teams, and create structures that don’t collapse when people leave. If you’re tired of starting over because of people, this conversation is for you.
