    I started my own bussiness early this year. Though I’m not in the clear yet, I must say that commiting to actually doing it was the most anxiety inducing experience of my entire life. I was feeling physically ill for months due to the extreme levels of fear and worrying wether I’m about to make a huge mistake.

      I did the same thing and the anxiety was just as you described. Sadly the business never took off and with tariffs looming I decided to cut my losses and ended it. At that point I was somewhat glad that I had tried my best and it was now over. The stress wasn’t worth it.

      Please nobody be discouraged by my story. You should still try!!

        I had the same reasoning: I’ll rather regret trying than having not. I’m still going though. Just took a huge paycut compared to my previous job, but then again, I no longer have a boss either.
