Why Doing Your Own HR Is Stalling Growth?
Let’s get real.
As your consultancy grows, the hats you wear start to weigh you down.
One of the heaviest? HR.
For most owners, it is the last hat to come off.
Why?
Because it feels “safer” to keep it.
But it’s a trap.
This week, I break down a question that’s on every scaling owner’s mind: “When should I bring on an internal HR person?”
Here’s what I see over and over:
- You start out as the everything-person.
- As you grow, the “everything” role becomes impossible.
- HR issues start eating into your best hours-hours you should be spending on strategy, clients, and growth.
I recently worked with a $5M consultancy where one director was stuck in HR mode.
The result?
Less time for big-picture moves. More time fighting fires.
The lesson. Buy back your time.
Invest in someone who can own HR-so you can own the future of your business.
Ask yourself:
- What’s the real cost of holding onto HR?
- What could you achieve if you focused only on high-impact work?
- Is it time to hand over the HR hat?
If you’re feeling stretched and ready to scale, this episode is your roadmap.
