Wow, this is all too true! Never mind selling a business, I think the whole entrepreneurial journey is riddled with fear, and yes, it's healthy and expected to a degree. I think you just learn to live with it and grow to expect a certain level of those emotions you outlined. I also think that's why a lot of people are just not cut out to be an entrepreneur--in working for someone else there's always this illusion of stability--people somehow have the ability to fool themselves into thinking this. I've found out that stability working for someone else is just as much an illusion as the idea that working for yourself is unstable. And I've learned to live with the fear, haha.
