I think we should look to JK Rowling as an example here. She did a TED talk after writing Harry Potter and said, "My best work is behind me." Yet she continued the series for many more books and turned Harry Potter into a cultural icon. She makes more money off products and licensing deals than she ever made off book sales. She's a testament to doing your best work, and then capitalizing on it further.
