RE: Why am I so scared to start a business?
Is the first step to actually come up with your 'product/service' and check you have a market for it? I think it's a bit soon to be thinking about quitting your job unless you are 100% certain about what it is you will do and you've done the sums. If you were single (and mortgage free?) I'd say yeah follow your dream, but you have people depending on you (unless you can all live on 1 wage). Still follow that dream, but make sure you have a clear well thought out plan to start and you have done the calculations.
Another thought, if you are in the UK could you take some shared parental leave, spend some time with baby but also start to work on your business plan and put together a client base.
Hey @opheliafu, thanks for your comments. Your advice is sound, have you been in the same position? Do you have ambitions to do your own thing? How would you go about performing the market research, finding focus on an idea? Do you have any tools or techniques you could offer? Are my worries normal?
