Sometimes when I procrastinate or won't publish something because I think it's not perfect, I think what I'm really am is just plain scared, scared of succeeding just as much as I'm scared of failing. I have to give myself stern lectures that when I'm 85 and looking back, I'll regret not trying a lot more than I'll regret failing at something. It doesn't make it any easier, but I feel less uncertain. Go for it.

You always make such pretty things! Not sure what your actual business idea is but you definetly have a way with crafts. I totally agree with Oya “You will never know until you try”.

I know how hard you would work if you actually pursued this. Don't let your fears stop you from trying something like this out. What's the worst that could happen?

"I think that dissatisfaction with the finished piece is often a trait creative people have."

I Totally agree with Emma on this.

Like they say, "You will never know until you try" and until you try, the fear will always be there.

I think that dissatisfaction with the finished piece is often a trait creative people have. Finding out how to create something you like without picking it to death takes time and effort, I think!

Everything I've ever seen that you've made has been very appealing. I bet a lot of things that you've rejected as not good enough were really excellent, too.

But this is a personal journey you're on. I'm not sure what the answer is, but you are asking good questions in this post.

I want to encourage you to further explore and pursue this business idea you have, if it's something that you might enjoy. I think you are much more likely to regret never trying it than you would regret it if it didn't work out exactly how you hoped. If you try it, you are certain to learn and grow no matter what happens.
