Why do people get scared of starting a business?

It's natural for people to feel scared when starting a business because it involves taking risks and stepping into the unknown. Fear of failure, financial insecurity, and the pressure to succeed can all contribute to this hesitation. However, it's important to remember that fear is a common emotion experienced by entrepreneurs, and it can be overcome through proper planning, support networks, and a mindset focused on learning and growth.

They don't know where to start and are scared of failure.

I guess it is mostly fear of the unknown. From early childhood till adolescence, we are mostly taught how to work a job, and not how to create jobs.

Starting a business can be intimidating, but often it is the fear of the unknown or fear of failure that holds people back. As an entrepreneur, I believe that breaking down big goals into smaller, manageable steps and focusing on the learning journey can help overcome those fears.

Because in business you should face that only you is responsible for your success. It's you who make decisions, is you who make actions and is you who responsible for results of your decisions and actions.
