How to build up the confidence to tackle big projects?

[SapereAude]

I've been thinking a lot the last few days about the fact that I haven't managed to get even a single project going in the last few years. I always get stuck somewhere in the planning phase.
I realized, that the reason for this is a big lack of confidence on my side. The projects (mostly e-com) are to big and daring for my current level of self-confidence. So as soon as things get tough and I feel overwhelmed, I quit as I don't have the confidence that I can do it.

That raises the question, how to build up confidence? Is it by getting small wins that get bigger and bigger over time, which also slowly increases my confidence?

I guess the easiest step to build momentum is probably freelancing, since I have a few skills I can offer clients. Or would that distract me too much from my goal (e-com)? On the other hand, I have no confidence at all with e-commerce, so even very small projects overwhelm me - so from that point of view, freelancing is probably a good step to make some initial money online on my own. (This step alone seems incredibly difficult to me. If I could manage that, it would probably be a big step forward.)

Then it is one step at a time. Maybe I find some other business opportunities along the way, that have nothing to do with e-commerce. I've been pretty limited in this aspect in terms of looking for ideas/opportunities. On the other hand, I wouldn't have had the confidence to execute on something anyway.

What do you think about it?

Thanks.
