This is why you feel like a fraud…
You’re over thinking things. Start small and just do something. And know you’re not alone when you feel like hiding. There’s even a word for getting in your own way: Akrasia.

Forget Shoulda-Woulda-Coulda
“But those woulda-coulda-shouldas all ran away and hid from one little Did.” Shel Silverstein Ah, if only that were always true, but sometimes it’s not. “You shoulda done this.” “I coulda done better.” “I woulda if I had the time.” Sound familiar? These statements usually pop up after someone has taken a risk to do something and stand by it. They like to point out the mistakes and the wasted possibilities.
Forget Being an Employee
Every man must decide for himself whether he shall master his world or be mastered by it. James Cash Penny You are self-employed. I don’t care if someone else signs your cheques or deposits money into your bank account. I don’t care if you clock into a day job (or three). I don’t care if someone plans out most of your day and gives you tasks to accomplish by a certain deadline. You’re still self-employed because you’re the CEO of your life—your relationships, your career, your health.

Maybe not all at once but you have a lifetime to discover all that you can do.
