Let’s be real—starting a SaaS or SWAS business today is easier than ever… and more overwhelming than ever. Between the endless tech tools, remote work, and AI-everything hype, it’s easy to get stuck spinning your wheels instead of building momentum.
That’s exactly why we fired up a Zoom call over at HL Pro Tools with some of the sharpest minds in the HighLevel space— Farah Patel (Director of Special Projects at HighLevel) and Mario Aldayuz (Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools).
Here’s one big truth we unpacked: If you want to scale, you have to stop waiting for perfect and just start building.
Let’s dive into the takeaways 💥
The Real Tools That Help You Scale (Spoiler: It’s Not Just AI)
Look, I love a good tool stack as much as the next tech nerd, but shiny software alone won’t scale your business. What will?
Here’s what Farah laid out that I totally co-sign:
✅ Build an In-House Team (Even If They’re Global)
Yes, freelancers and outsourced devs are great… for short-term stuff. But if you want to scale long-term?
“Your own team will always outperform rented hands.”
🌎 The good news? You can build an incredible remote team without a big budget. Just invest in people and create a real culture—even if it’s on Slack and Zoom.
✅ Don’t Let Branding Slow You Down
Farah dropped this 🔥 line:
“Early founders spend too much time naming their business. Just get started.”
Can confirm. The world doesn’t care if your logo is perfect or if your brand colors are just right. What matters is solving problems and serving clients.
✅ Leverage Modern Tools, But Own Your Process
Use AI, automation, and snapshots—but don’t rely on them to build your business for you. Tools help, but ownership is what makes the difference.
Founders, Stop Getting Stuck in the “Setup Trap”
Ever find yourself tweaking your SaaS plans, branding, website layout, and back-end automations for weeks… without actually launching anything?
Yep. Been there.
Here’s how to snap out of it:
🛑 Stop chasing perfect
✅ Launch the MVP
🔁 Get feedback, iterate, improve
Farah summed it up best: “Action will always beat hesitation. Every single time.”
Quick Wins for Founders Right Now
If you’re in build mode, here are some things you can do this week to move the needle:

🧱 Build a simple onboarding system inside HighLevel
📝 Start documenting processes so you’re not stuck doing everything forever
None of this is glamorous, but this is the real work that builds 6–7 figure SaaS businesses. Not another Canva template.
