Hello,

So how does one decide between heart and brain when it comes to deciding what business to start.

Some of you would have ready my previous threads about starting a perfume brand or a body care, skincare brand and my thought process on that.

My heart tells me to start a perfume brand as that is what i really like and love but thinking on how to sell, how to start, costs, market, it is easier for lack of a better word (not easy at all) to start a body care as people will invariably more open to buy a product blind (fragrance wise) if the product fits and provides what they want and need instead of a perfume which is very personal.

it has been a difficult decision so far as my heart keeps telling me to go with perfume but my brain tells me that the body care might provide me with a better chance of success.

So the question is how do you decide between one or the other? I read before that passion and love for the business comes if it is successful and not the other way around but at the same time I always look at it that if if one is successful then whay not the other.

Any inout on this would be helpful from people who have been there before and decided to go for one or the other.
