When starting a new business, how do you know if the business is right for you?

I've been making handmade soap for over 2 years now and I have always been tinkering around to making it a full time business. Well now it's come down to the crunch, me and my partner have moved to the opposite end of the country and I have just finished a government run course that will help support me while I get the business off the ground, the problem is.... after completing my business plan and course which has taken me 3 months, I kinda feel like I'm "flogging a dead horse" but the problem is, I really need to start bringing income into the household and it's not practical for me to go to work. Should I stick with my original business idea? I mean, it checks out on paper. Or should I take a gamble and do something that excites me? I keep on thinking of advice telling me that "if you're on the right track then it will happen effortlessly" and I feel that it's not. Any how, what do you think?
