Starting a business is always very scary, especially if you're giving up a decent and secure job. One of the ways of getting rid of this fear is to prepare and research the business you are going into. Write down all the reasons why you want to start a business to begin with, and study it carefully. By reading it, it will make it more real and help you realize why you want and/or need to do this. You will also need to learn how to deal with your fears, this will take time but the more you work on it the easier it will become. Know that your fears are normal, and this is what most people feel before starting a new business so you are not alone with this.
