I don't fear anything. The unpredictability and uncertainty is a natural part of being in business. Today it's a natural part of life. Dare I say it is the new normal. Strap yourself in and hang on for the ride. Try to learn before you leap and surround yourself with OQP (Only Quality People). 

Failing to meet the needs of the customer.

My worries I can handle, the only fear I have is not making the home owner I’m working for happy.

I am a small business, who also works full time separately elsewhere, as an employee. I fear not being able to work my business full time one day, which is my true passion.

Fear?? What is there to fear? Make good decisions, you are successful. Make bad decisions, learn from your decisions, do not make the same bad decision again.

Not meeting reasonable expectations resulting in an unsatisfied client...

I dont worry too much when Business is slow, Its usually slow for everyone in one way or the other. For me I scale way down and begin to do as much administration duties as I can.
