For those who quit your job to start something how did you deal with the fear in the beginning?

I am feeling stuck in a low-paying job that didn’t turn out to be what i really was hired to do and I am losing motivation. I’ve always wanted to build something of my own. Recently, my partner suggested I leave this job and focus working on it. I already am working on it on the side but scared to go all in.

I am stuck between wanting to just take the risk and fearing I will mess up stability. I have had moments where I left things that felt wrong, and later doubted myself. What helped you trust your decision and deal with the fear in the beginning phase?
