Outside money is helpful if you want to grow in a specific direction and want to do it fast to make sure you get there before competitors do.
It sounds like you have a nice thing going, there's no need to jump into the deep end if you don't have the ambitions to.
A lot of VCs talk about raising money as 'the big leagues', and the takeaway from that is: success is judged as performance against expected returns. Perform or get out.
If this doesn't sound like what you want, then don't take VC $. If you're ambitious and it sounds like an interesting challenge then maybe it's something to consider!
