| | We have an unfair advantage in a fast growing market and could now get outside capital for this. As an alternative we could just keep rolling with our little team, scale like we already do and make good money and don't blow this whole thing up like our investors would want us to do. We will be financially independent either way in a few months. We just want to be happy and don't have a more busy life. We don't have experience with outside investments. Is a scenario in which we use the funding to hire a great team that more or less replaces us unrealistic? Sure, its nice to see our project at the next level but only if this doesn't make life even more busy. |

If you're already happy at your current level just grow it organically and don't look back.
Remember: happiness is the ability to be content with what you already have, not with what you could do.
I wrote about this years ago, shameless blog post plug:

Best of luck, whichever path you decide to take.
