Anxiety about the unknown is the worst!!! I'm the same way, worrying about stuff that hasn't even happened yet. This is what I do to try to get a handle on these situations: I imagine the WORST that could happen. Then I think of how I could handle the situation (in a POSITIVE way). Now this sounds negative, but the key is to imagine what you would do to make yourself feel better once the worst has happened. That way, you already have a plan in place and can stop the 'what ifs'.
Another thing I would do is set goals for your business (REALISTIC), otherwise you're going to question how well you're doing constantly. Have steps planned for what you will do for different situations. I would do lots and lots of research on this particular subject.
ANOTHER thing I would do (I'm just full of ideas tonight) is find an aspect of the work that you just enjoy doing, whether the business makes it or not. Then be sure and take the time to relish that part of your job.
Anyway, these are just things I would try, I'm sure you'll find your own way. It all sounds really exiting to me! Keep us posted!
