Looking for a mentor?

Question

I already own my own business, but also work (full time for 6 years) as a 1099 sub for another company. Looking to make the leap out of the security of the 1099 and into my own company. I tend to be worried about failure, and tend to self sabotage my own business endeavors. Seems im afraid of success also :) So looking for someone who has been through a similar situation and can offer me some advice. Thanks in advance.
