what do you suggest i pursue as a sideline? I love dresses and i had been surfing for good sewing schools or tutors who could teach me how to cut and make a dress. My target customer is the plus size women as i am plus size too and have difficulty looking for fashionable clothes to wear. Or should i go for mushroom breeding which interests me even though i am not a mushroom addict? Mushrooms are being sold at a high price here and it wouldnt demand so much time on me. So.. what do you think i should go for? Should i go for a business that i like or or for the business that interests me?

Hello beta You know the ready made dresses are made on the basis of average size and weight, so for plus size guys and girls, the fitting is never perfect, i always get my dresses stitched by the best tailor in the city, you know, the stitching charges, too high, enough to buy the dresses.. Well you can run this business after you learn dress making Mushroom sells here for 500 rupees a kilo, double the cost of best meat, try this, take help of the sgriculture dept in your city.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

Do both! Mushrooms need little care and pretty much grow themselves, given the proper environment. And they take time to grow.........while they're doing that you can make dresses. Make the dresses because you enjoy making them, and grow mushrooms because it's a good side project to make extra money.

I firmly believe in gut decisions. So when you say it like you are more addicted to dresses than mushrooms what that tells me is that your gut has already made the decision in favor of plus sized dresses. Even if the mushroom business seems more profitable and faster earning now than plus-sized dresses, in the long run, you'll probably be happier that you chose the one you love. Though from a business minded point of view, I can't see why you shouldn't do both. They both sound profitable and seem to pique your interests enough to mention them. So if it were me, I'd grow the mushrooms and use the profits to put myself through sewing school and start a line, get some marketing, etc. Hope this helped! ++!
