Yes. You will now have a blank Check for the rest of your life:

1- you won’t need to work again. This lets you work on what you want next.

2- you’re very likely to get funded 2m for the next thing. This sale gives you a big stamp.

In short, this game is never about just one company. Get the 14m, stay hungry, and go for the 400m sale on the next.

Play the fucking long game and play it on your terms.

PS if you do a "next thing", don't spend very much of your own money on "it". Even though you don't "have" to get outside funding, do the angel/seed/VC thing based on your previous success and the strength of your idea & team... and if any stage fails, bail on "it" and go to the next thing. The investment you can make is not paying yourself a salary for a year while you figure out if the product succeeds during the angel round stage. Just my $0.02, your mileage may vary.
