So from the sounds of it, your doubts are rooted in a) fear of failure and b) fear of losing money. Both are valid, and it's quite likely both fears will be realized. The question is, how do you 1) increase your risk appetite and b) learn to mitigate risk over all?
What's a nearly risk free venture you can start? How about you just do something in services? You almost certainly have a skill that has a market value, so go out there and earn $1 with it. Then earn $10, $100, etc.
This will teach you a few things:
1) You CAN make money on your own
2) You can make MORE money if you lose it on a product venture
3) You CAN execute and satisfy a market need
4) Failure WON'T kill you and only makes you better
More income means that any money you lose won't sink your ship, and engaging in the market will give you the confidence you need to succeed.
Just get out there and start solving problems. One after another. Don't solve problems you don't have; the problem you have right now is that you're immobilized.
