I've recently given up a very stressful, full time job to start up my own business, which may mean having to confront my fears and anxieties quite regularly. I suffer from agorophobia, anticipated anxiety and dislike travelling. This job will involve me possibly travelling all over the country to new places and it's really scarying me. You may ask why I gave up the full time job - it was too stressful and wasn't giving me any quality of life. I was going to make my business such that it wouldn't need to encompass all the travelling, etc, but a few friends and colleagues have questioned why I don't want to do all the travelling - many people don't know or understand my fears.
I'd really like to hear from people who could offer me their advice - the job would be co-ordinating weddings and I want to offer my skills (and cost saving angle, too) based online and specialising on the pre-wedding planning as a means to avoid doing the travelling. Would this be the answer? After all, it's my business and I can run it as I want, but should I try instead to find a way of confronting these fears so that I don't limit myself?
