Does the feeling ever end?

[hyster]

When I think of entrepreneurship or owning my own business, this what I think and feel:

• your idea doesn't make sense and you will never find a better one
• a competition is too huge, you will never be able to take even a single customer/partner from them
• profit margins in this field are too low, even if you have some customers, it will never pay back
• you can't make it better than the competition, you lack graphics design skills (very specific thought 😀)

I'm trying to fight off all these thoughts and feelings and currently I'm working on 3 business ideas in addition to a full-time job. However I don't know what to think about those... feelings. Are my ideas really stupid or is it just my comfort zone fighting back? Will those ever end and what should I do, just ignore them and work more or what?
