Finding your successor is part of the job, not the end of it.

The question about your successor you answered with a joke.

Succession Ready is a free self-test from Coach42 for chief executives and senior leaders. You answer 14 questions, from 1 (never) to 5 (always), on named successors, their development, the board’s view and your own readiness to let go. You get a succession readiness score and the two things to work on first.
