Dear Alia:

There is always a risk starting a business. The good part is that the startup is not a lot of money, but there will be a lot of work put into it, that kind of investment, maybe more money invested along the way.

Your lack of confidence in your abilities, one that you expressed in the previous thread, is a problem and will be a problem if and when you embark on starting a business. You will need to prepare for it and manage it. Lots of small businesses fail, but if yours fails, you will consider it (will you not?) another personal failure. And it may not at all fail, if it does, because of something you would do wrong.

So, yes, part of the business plan would have to be planning for your emotional well-being as you go about it.
