Reflecting on the First GoHighLevel SaaSPRENEUR Mastermind
Imagine walking into a room full of some of the brightest minds in the SaaS world, all gathered to share insights, strategies, and the kind of wisdom that can propel a business to new heights. This was the scene at the first GoHighLevel SaaSPRENEUR Mastermind back in May of 2022, and the experience was nothing short of transformative.

Anticipation and Arrival
I can’t believe it has already been a couple of years since I attended the first GoHighLevel SaaSPRENEUR Mastermind in Dallas, Texas, at the Sheraton hotel. The excitement was palpable as I arrived a little early to set up my account, having only been a trial user up until that point. The Sheraton’s ambiance, combined with the hustle of the event setup, set the tone for what was to come.
Walking into the room, I was eager to meet Paulson Thomas and Chase Buckner, key figures whose online sessions I had been following. Meeting them in person was a fantastic experience. Then, there were the co-founders: Shaun Clark, Robin Alex, and Varun Vairavan. Meeting these pioneers behind GoHighLevel was like meeting celebrities; their energy and passion were infectious.
The Start of the Mastermind
As the event kicked off, I remember seeking help to set up my account amidst all the excitement. I approached Paulson and asked if Chase was around to assist me with a few questions. Despite the chaos of setting up for such a significant event, they were incredibly accommodating.
The first day of the mastermind was a whirlwind. The registration desk buzzed with activity, and I was thrilled to meet some prominent community members. One memorable introduction was to the HighLevel Queen, Christine Seale. Her expertise and welcoming nature made a significant impression on me.
The attendees were impressive, with many running successful businesses and sharing their knowledge openly. I recall meeting Josh Nelson, whose session on client attraction, fulfillment, and retention left a lasting impact. His thoughts on book writing were particularly inspiring.
Key Takeaways from the Sessions
One of the standout sessions was with Josh Nelson, a powerhouse of knowledge on client management and retention strategies. His ability to break down complex strategies into actionable steps was remarkable. His advice on writing books as a business tool was eye-opening.
Throughout the event, it was incredible to see how many attendees were so busy with their businesses that they couldn’t attend all the sessions. They were constantly on sales calls, signing up clients, and managing their operations remotely. This level of dedication was both inspiring and a testament to the caliber of people at the GoHighLevel SaaSPRENEUR Mastermind.
The group activities and workshops were incredibly engaging. We had dynamic discussions at our round tables, where the diversity of backgrounds and experiences enriched the conversations and fellowship. One memorable interaction was with Javi Velazquez from Lead Dragon.
Despite being a beginner, I felt supported and encouraged by my peers, which was a testament to the inclusive environment fostered at the event. Javi’s partner, Shawn Greenway, also offered valuable tips and friendly advice.
Networking and Personal Growth
The networking opportunities were unparalleled. I connected with entrepreneurs from various parts of the world, each bringing unique insights and experiences. Conversations with successful business owners who were making significantly more than $10,000 a month were both inspiring and motivating.
One of the most rewarding aspects was the mentorship and guidance from experienced HighLevel users. I was particularly grateful for the advice from Javi Velazquez and his partner, Shawn Greenway, who helped me navigate the platform and offered valuable tips for scaling my business.
Visit to the HighLevel Headquarters
After the GoHighLevel SaaSPRENEUR Mastermind, a small group of us had the opportunity to visit the HighLevel headquarters. This visit was not just a tour but also a credibility check to see the company’s operations firsthand.
The modern, clean, and well-designed office was impressive, reflecting the company’s commitment to excellence. Most of the team worked remotely, but the headquarters served as a hub for local staff and a testament to HighLevel’s legitimacy.
Final Thoughts
Reflecting on the first GoHighLevel SaaSPRENEUR Mastermind, I am filled with gratitude for the experiences and connections made. What sticks with me the most is the advice I received, from my good friend Victor Glez. “Don’t give up!” It continues to resonate with me today.
It’s incredible to see how far many of the people from that event have come. It’s equally impressive to witness the growth of HighLevel – in only two years. For anyone looking to accelerate their journey with GoHighLevel, attending a mastermind could be the pivotal experience you need.
For those seeking to accelerate their journey with GoHighLevel, attending GoHighLevel’s public events, masterminds and summits, could just be the empowering experience you need to take things to the next level.
