I'm about to start writing my Phd thesis...
I'm a bit scared... It's something professional and I'm afraid I'm not good enough...
Is anyone experiencing the same? Is anyone able to give me some advices please?
Thank you!

Where are you? --- cause in the US we write dissertations not a thesis. A thesis is what I wrote for my masters.
PhD programs have dissertation prep courses. Take one- and each school has different requirements.

(1) Form a dissertation support group with other grad students in your department.
(2) Set working hours for your dissertation. Keep them! Do not do anything else during this time. Even if you're just rereading what you've written or studying sources you've already read, that's okay--your brain will be working on your dissertation topic. ***MOST IMPORTANT
(3) Ask your advisor if you can set up regular times to meet with him/her to discuss your progress.
(4) Consider getting hold of a copy of "How to Write and Survive a Dissertation." Some people find it useful, some don't.
(5) Face the fear. Acknowledge it and then plow on past it. You simply can't know how good you are until you try your hardest. **SECOND MOST IMPORTANT
(6) If your topic has been approved and you've passed your orals, that constitutes a contract. Your dept has said, "If you do this work, we will pass you." It doesn't have to be the greatest dissertation in the history of your dept (although it would be nice if it were!). You just have to do what you said you would do, and you'll be "Dr. Whatever."
(7) Go to the library and read recent dissertations written by other students in your dept. This will give you an idea of what's expected.

Do you have an advisor? PhD candidates have to have an advisor. A faculty member assisgned to them. I would start making an outline of what you hope to see in your thesis. Even make an outline of what you hope to see in the opening part of your thesis. Outlines are great.

Ok, I'm probably going to get booed for this, but...
If you are truly working on your PhD, then ...why are your asking what to do here????? If I were advanced in college enough to need to write a PhD thesis, I would probably be excited about the challenge, and know exactly where to find my ideas, resources and topics....

Start working on it same as you did it in your graduation or MBA thesis but end it like a PhD student. Contact an adviser who can guide you about this or you can also take help from expert academic writer.

Jot down however techniques come into your head. you do not would desire to place in writing finished sentences. 4. try engaged on 2 or 3 chapters/sections at one and an identical time. 5. good success!
