How Confident Were You Starting Your First Business and How's it Going? (alien.top)

At first, this may seem like a generic question but I feel some of us do not come from a background of their family running a business, so the risk associated with setting up shop on your own seems like a major risk, if you experienced this, How did you overcome this and start your own business?

I was not at all confident, I am a techy at heart which means I am rather introvert. To compensate for that I basically just surrounded myself with people that have what I lacked, and slowly but surely I started getting the hang of it. I partnered up with a couple of people and even though those businesses failed, I saw how it gets done and how risky people get. Because of this I realized I can do all of that but more calculated and risk free. Nobody in my family has their own business but I now run several successful business online and I have started a few family businesses with my wife on the side as well. It's ok to fail if you learn from it
