(First time on this site, someone sent me this thread)
About 16 years ago, I was in a kinda similar place to you - making a lot of money but ambitious and wanted to grow grow grow. Not a tech biz but very information centered.
Very long story short, while it was far from easy or an uninterrupted "up and go the right" path I was fortunate enough to survive my gazillion mistakes and we currently have about 150 staff in 7 countries. I don't have any investors, partners, or significant debt. I spend about 95+% working "on" my business vs. "in" it.
It sounds like you're a good guy and perhaps my input can help you think through your options. If you drop me a note we can do a brief call and see if the chemistry is a fit. I've never done any coaching or mentoring outside my own organization before but I wish I had had access to a resource like the 2016 me along the way so it stands to reason some of my takeaways from my journey could be of value to you.
