I’m Retiring… Kind Of. GoHighLevel Is Still Coming With Me.
I wasn’t planning to write anything like this. Honestly, I didn’t even think I’d call it “retirement” — it feels weird. But that’s what it is, I guess. After a long stretch of working day in and day out, chasing results, handling clients, tweaking automations, answering emails while eating lunch — I’m finally stepping back.
Not because I’m over it. Just… I want more room to breathe.
But here’s the thing: even though I’m done with the full-on hustle, there’s one thing I’m not quitting — GoHighLevel.
I’ve used GHL for so long that it doesn’t even feel like software anymore. It’s like… my personal dashboard for ideas. I know people see it as a client tool or something for agencies, but for me, it became much more than that. It helped me organize chaos, automate stuff I hated doing, and honestly, saved me hours every week.
And now that I’ve slowed down? I still open it almost every morning. Force of habit? Maybe. But also… I like what it lets me do.

I’m not running campaigns right now. No clients on my calendar. But I’ve got this little project I’m playing with on the side. It’s not even a business — just something I care about. And yep, GHL is helping me set it up. No big launch plan. No ads. Just a simple flow, a couple of emails, and some automations I put together because it felt fun to do.
That’s the thing. It’s fun now. No pressure. Just me, messing around with ideas and seeing what sticks.
I guess this is what retirement looks like for someone like me:
Not a beach. Not golf every day.
More like… waking up without an alarm, having coffee slowly, and then maybe building something in GoHighLevel for no reason other than it feels good.
And I think that’s enough.
So yeah, I’m not chasing leads or building funnels at 2 AM anymore. But I’m still creating. Still experimenting. Still using the tool that helped me build a career in the first place.

Because it still works.
Because it still makes sense.
Because I still want to.
That’s really it.
Final Thought
If retirement is just doing what you enjoy, when you feel like it, with no one breathing down your neck — then yeah, I’ll keep logging in to GoHighLevel. It’s just part of my flow now. And I don’t need to give that up.
Not everything has to stop just because the job part ends.
