Start a chocolate business - what's your opinion?

you can make a living even fortune with it. just make sure it's good if not best. do it nicely. get a good packaging. share it on the net. start it with your friends. then do it slowly til everyone gets to taste it. good luck. the net can make wonders when it comes to selling anything on the net.

Well, now, I don't know about that. I knew a lady in my hometown who opened a bakeshop specializing in candymaking and cakes. She did almost exclusively wedding cakes and operated out of her home for a long time. People knew her by word of mouth and while her startup was slow, she did become independent and make her living just off her small business. If you have a good product and people who are willing to recommend you, it could conceivably build into a living even though you start out not earning much at it. Good luck!

Of course it is great to do what you enjoy; it's your gifting, so do what you do best! It's great that you started a business. It may not be booming yet, but, with time, who knows? And, if you don't become a millionaire, so what? Creative people need to create; as you said, it gives you purpose. It's not all about money. I think you are right to proceed just as you have.
