Often most founders and entrepreneurs get bogged down by the idea of hiring and getting their HR in place, thinking they don’t need them. However, when scaling and growing your businesses, HR is the most important part of the process. Working yourself out to scale is not only hard but can also lead to burnout. No matter how much you enjoy your work, you need breaks and time to be away from your work. Sometimes we’re so focused on the next thing that stopping makes us guilty. However, being self-aware and understanding that it’s okay to take a break and putting in proper systems for yourself will help you scale and be in a place where you can thrive. Don’t wait until the last minute to get HR in place.
