ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do you know when it’s time to leave a successful career when you’re still winning?
Not sure what your next chapter should look like?
That may be one of the hardest next-chapter decisions an accomplished leader can face.
Download my free Next Chapter Readiness Reflection: 4 questions to help you think more clearly about whether to stay, step away, or redeploy what you’ve built.

In this Applied Lessons episode of Inheritance to Income, Garrick Francis draws lessons from his conversations with former Congressman G.K. Butterfield and former Chief Marcus Jones to explore four questions that can help you decide whether it’s time to stay, begin preparing, step away, or redeploy what you’ve spent decades building.
Because failure sometimes makes the decision for us.
Success doesn’t.
In this episode:
• Why being able to keep winning doesn’t necessarily mean you should keep living the same way
• The cost of staying in a successful role
• How to separate your title from your deeper assignment
• Why financial readiness is not the same as full next-chapter readiness
• What your ordinary week should make room for
• How decades of accumulated experience can be redeployed instead of discarded
• What leaders need to make less dependent on them before they leave
• Why succession is the preparation of a system, not simply the selection of a person
THE FOUR QUESTIONS
If I keep doing this exactly as I am for another three years, what will it cost me?
If the title disappeared tomorrow, what part of this work would I still feel called to do?
What do I want my ordinary week to make more room for?
What needs to become less dependent on me before I leave?
You don’t necessarily need another job.
You need to decide where the person you have become belongs next.
